bonaan joined froobworld on the 9th of June 2024 in Map 11 - during the quiet hours of froobworld, when nobody else was online. He wandered around spawn for a few minutes looking at shops, got killed by a zombie and then left. He did not return for 2 weeks.
Biography
Bonaan first started playing Minecraft in 2011 when he was asked by friends to join them on a factions PVP server. However once he'd gotten a hang of the game and was geared up he mostly ignored the war and instead focused on mastering redstone - the first large contraption he designed was a combination lock.
He has since been admin on a few different smaller servers, mainly helping out with plugins and general server operations.
In 2024 one of those servers got a new group of players - they were talking about Froobworld. He got interested in the semi-vanilla concept and joined, finding it refreshing with a server that didn't have pay-to-win, economy or other excessive plugins. Once he'd played a bit and saw how good the community and staff was he got hooked.
History
Ranks
Bonaan became trusted on the 27th of September 2024 and later staff on the 14th of December 2024.
Map 11
Bonaan first settled somewhere near the eastern border of the map, digging down to mine for resources and created a small underground storage room and crop farms. He slowly geared up and gathered enough diamonds to purchase an elytra.
When roaming the shopping district looking for the elytra, he ran into _A_sly_Potato_, who was able to sell him the elytra. Bonaan and Sly joined at roughly the same time and have been friends on the server since.
Once froobworld updated to 1.21, he knew that he wanted to make use of the new Crafter. He went out to search for an unclaimed witch hut in order to make a farming district based around redstone and automatic crafters. He found a witch hut in the older parts of the map and this eventually became his permanent base.
With the other new addition in 1.21 being trial chambers, bonaan saw an opportunity to fill an untapped market - trial keys and breeze rods. He designed and built his own trial farm spanning three cleared out trial chambers, connected by rail through the nether.
Bonaan opened up a shop at spawn, first iteration being a house featuring lots of copper and then later redesigned to look like a shulker. The shop was selling shulker shells, redstone components, trial keys, potions and more.
The shulker shop has always been white red pink cyan black rainbow colored.
Around january of 2025, bonaan and another player opened up the shop Mojave on the outskirts of the town Crateris. Bonaan built an advanced redstone ordering and pricing system. You would order items in bulk by selecting what you wanted from a barrel, the items would be packaged up into shulker boxes and delivered to the front of the store. In addition a redstone lamp display would show how many diamonds to pay.

Map 12
Bonaan was the third player to join Map 12, after froobynooby and EvilDrBA. He, together with other members of E.G.G. and players of the server planned to quickly go for killing the dragon and claiming the dragon egg in the name of the community.
He started out settling near spawn, making a small house at 0,0 (it still doesn't have a roof) and set off into the mines to gear up. Some time later that day, after the dragon fight, bonaan and EvilDrBA was scouting for a village to set up a small industrial area. They ran into GPRO678 and ThaTallDude and the 4 of them decided to settle a village together. The group became known as BEGT (after their initials).
After a few weeks, bonaan wanted to start on a base of his own. He talked a bit to his friend EemilSepp and decided to settle in a lush cave underneath Eemil's base. Those plans later changed when bonaan and ThaTallDude decided to make a base together instead.
Interviews
Interview with bonaan in The Froobian Times - june 2026
Interviewed by ThaTallDude
1. How did you find Froobworld? And is it true that you died and then didn't log on for 2 weeks?
I found Froobworld through players talking about it on another server, where I've been admin for many years.
A few minutes after my first join of Froobworld I did die to a zombie, yes.
The server was empty and I was just walking around looking at the spawn shops.
I did log off with no intention of coming back, but a few weeks later I got into my 2-week phase and haven't stopped since.
I had just found renewed interest in Minecraft after a long period of not playing much, right when the auto crafter was released.
2. What made you stay playing Froobworld?
I've seen a lot of servers over the years, the things that stand out about Froobworld is the semi-vanilla aspect, no p2w (pay to win), not too limited redstone functionality, everything built in survival mode, no admins spawning in items.
That's what made me stay at first, but as I got to know the community and made friends on the server that has become more important to me.
3. Can you tell us more about how you started working on Froobworlds Code?
It was around the time I got trusted when I heard about and noticed some issues with the plugin. I found a link to the code in the wiki and dug in - at first wanting to get an understanding of how it worked and fix things that annoyed me. One example of early fixes was the /rtp command - it used to either fail half the time, put you inside powdered snow or on top of a giant map art in the middle of the ocean.
4. What are some of your most memorable buildings/moments on Froobworld?
My favorite moment was a year ago, at the map reset. The end of map 11 was a really enjoyable moment together with many of the people I've gotten to know, then there was a few hours of downtime for the reset where a lot of us sat together in discord - formulating plans on how to get the dragon egg. Once the server opened again for the map 12, the race was on and there was a whole new world to explore.
5. How much would you say, have you helped other players with their redstone?
Quite a lot. In the early days it was the main way I interacted with people on the server. I enjoy problem solving and automation, so I'm usually happy to help. Especially if it's a bit of a challenge to figure out an efficient solution.
6. What is something you want to tell our Froobian Times readers?
I am happy that I'm able to serve this community, thank you all for making this server as amazing as it is!
Bonus question, you share a base with me, how much of a nab am I really?.
You're very much a nab. Always playing loud music at night, never taking the trash out, armour sets collecting dust, the diamond vault is filled with nabs, vault door maintenance has been lacking, you haven't fed the happy ghasts or watered the plants in months.
Regardless of that, I'm really happy with the base we've built together and having you as a roommate.
