Project City Build was founded on October 19th 2010 as a classic server the day after one of its founders [[_andy]] was banned from the Big Build For Fun server for no reason. It was at that moment when [[_andy]], [[Kyle8910]] and [[_specialk]] decided to create their own vision of how a Minecraft server should be run; a large active community, with friendly staff who are not ban trigger-happy. | Project City Build was founded on October 19th 2010 as a classic server the day after one of its founders [[_andy]] was banned from the Big Build For Fun server for no reason.

[[File:XR1tOzG.jpg|thumb|Big City in PCB Classic]]In the following months, Project City Build grew to become one of the most active classic servers going round. The classic server had a guest map called Flat-grass whilst the main map was named Big City. The server had an emphasis on building realistic looking cities and was featured on various Minecraft blogs and gaming websites. This first iteration of the server saw the introduction of two new admins; Kyle8910 and TKPenalty. | [[File:XR1tOzG.jpg|thumb|Big City in PCB Classic]]In the following months, Project City Build grew to become one of the most active classic servers going round.

But in January 2011, PCB's service provider mysteriously lost all their data and their offsite data. At the time, Fatso12321 was running a [[Fallback Server]] for our community whenever the main server was offline and took over running the classic server whilst _andy and _specialk took a break from Minecraft. On Febuary 18th 2011, _andy and _specialk returned with a brand new server. Running Minecraft Beta 1.2_02, this server marked PCB's transition from classic to survival multiplayer. | But in January 2011, PCB's service provider mysteriously lost all their data and their offsite data.

This server was a hybrid between survival mode and creative; players had the resources if they wanted to build structures but also had the opportunity to play a true survival mode. A new version of [[Big City]] was built, with many of the classic server's buildings recreated. Notable towns included, [[Sandy Point]], [[Paradise Falls]], [[Forsyth]] and [[Milton]]. | This server was a hybrid between survival mode and creative; players had the resources if they wanted to build structures but also had the opportunity to play a true survival mode.
