Mystical Machines is a new modded Minecraft network with the goal of keeping a small community, with few high-quality servers. We will achieve this by having player caps on servers, by keeping over 80% of the used plugins to be custom made and by only offering a limited amount of modpacks. Hosting only a few modpacks and keeping strict player caps on servers, allows us to keep the community small and not scale into a massive network.
Mystical Machines is run by Brend, also known as Rubbertjuh. He has over 8 years of experience in hosting Minecraft servers and was also the founder of ToastyNetworks. ToastyNetworks was a network that used to be one of the biggest modded Minecraft networks in the world but shut down recently. After retiring for a while, Rubbertjuh’s interest in community management, plugin development and modded Minecraft reignited. 

I decided to set up a new network instead of reopening ToastyNetworks because the vision and goals of what I want to achieve with a Minecraft community are not aligned with the ones from Toasty. When running Toasty, I learned that what I liked doing most, interacting with the community and developing new features swiftly. I was unable to do with such a massive company and community to run, it just took up way to much time. Starting a new community also means that there are no expectations from anyone, I can set it up the way I have envisioned.

With Mystical Machines I plan to keep it small, this allows me to get to know most of the players and allows me to swiftly develop and add new features and changes.

Another reason why I did not think it would be a good idea to continue with ToastyNetworks is because of the legal aspects also caused by the Minecraft EULA.

ToastyNetworks and Mystical Machines are separate entities, it was not planned to transfer ranks or hours from ToastyNetworks.
I know this is frustrating, but I want this to be a fresh start for everyone. It’s a fresh new community, with different objectives, goals and a different vision.
Aside from this, some of the plugins, configurations, and ranks have also changed.

A lot of things have changed in Mystical Machines, it was essentially built from the ground up. 
Here’s a few of the key points that have changed:

• Network Goal: Toasty’s goal was to be the ultimate and biggest modded Minecraft network. Mystical Machines on the other hand has the goal to be a small/medium sized modded network with limited player counts and smaller staff team(s).
• Administration team: Rubbertjuh is Owner, Eckxecutioner is Administrator
  There is no other staff at this point aside from Consultants like Strawb, Kruger and KaiNoMood.
• PvE/PvP: Toasty was PvE only. Mystical Machines will have both PVE and PVP servers. The PVP servers will be running a factions like system to add more spice. 
• EULA: Toasty was forced to be EULA compliant. At Mystical Machines, we have no plans to support the EULA.
