What can you do on the server?
Gen / Box Grinding
WawaNet started off as a Gen/Box grinding server about four years ago. The server (at the time HubbGens) was inspired by xboxserv and bubblegens. (both of these servers are no longer active or have been deleted completely) As the trend for box servers are now considered old, the server now has way more stuff such as Minigames, PVP games, RPG and SMP aspects and general fun Minecraft experience.
Minigames / PVP
From the start of season two of the server (WawaGens), we focused the server development into fun mini games and pvp game modes which many of them were inspired by Hypixel.net and suggestions made by the server community. In my opinion I would say the minigames / pvp sector of the server is one of the most fun to play on. However, some players may find other things to be more fun.
RPG and SMP
From the late stages of season two of the server, we developed a SMP for players to enjoy. However, it was vary lacking in things to do after killing the end boss and getting the best gear. Many players wanted a seasonal inventory and map reset because they became bored of having everything they need. Thus in season three of the server, we have added a RPG game mode into the SMP option. The RPG game mode will be optional because not everyone will want to play it. However, I believe it will help the SMP sector to be more fun through out a longer time period. There is the Build world and the Wild world. The build world is where you can claim land as your own or your friends to build and make a base that won’t be griefed by others. The wild world is what I would all a resource world. It will reset every 1 or two weeks.

WawaNet server history
(disclaimer: the dates for these information may be off, I never properly recorded them xD)
The server started near the start of the year 2021 with the name HubbGens. The server was built with the help from Krell, Silverduster and Psuudo. The server was built inspired by xboxserv and bubblegens. Many veteran community members who joined the server community at this time recall HubbGens as a nostalgic memory and the chaos of a server with no proper setup. The server was mainly a Gen / Box grinding server.
After a year of operation, The server moved from the (at the time) really low quality Minehut servers to a free server hoster located in Germany called Falix Nodes. The server was re-branded into WawaGens but soon later re-branded again into WawaNet due to popular community votes. In the season two of the server, Mini games, pvp modes, and more grinding options were introduced. In the late stages of WawaNet season two, the SMP gameplay was introduced for a short while before the server went into temporary shut down as the development phase for the season three was starting.

When the WawaNet season three construction and development started. I (Archivist) thought it would only take me about 4 months at minimum and 6 months at maximum to finish what I was visioning for the server at the time. This turned out to be a extremely big miss calculation as it toke me about one year and 4 months. This was because, I underestimated the amount of work I had to do. However, the work was worth it. I love the way the server is looking right now and I’ll keep improving it as the server goes on. WawaNet season three was officially released at August 22, 2024.
