Season 4

CrocMC's Season 4 was the longest and most history-filled season thus far on the SMP server. Season 4 began on June 13th 2020 and concluded October 30th with the launch of Season 5. The first half of the season saw a lot of hype, with dozens of players online at the same time. The latter half of the season is known as The Great Decline, the longest dormant period of the server's history.

At many points throughout the season, the map reached over 10 gigabytes in size.

Corsair successfully raided the first of these dungeons while Bullet cleared the second. The details of further dungeons in this first series is obscure, but this idea would be revived later in the season.

Chaorium, being close to spawn and open-invite, was prone to griefings and thefts. It was decided that Chaos would not receive reimbursements for these events since they happened so regularly. Chaos, seeing his plans crumbling, decided to leave the server.

Things would smooth out in the next phase of the season. The new nether update prompted a map reset of the nether, and the Croc playerbase went into the new depths to explore the monstrosity that Mojang had created. Texas was completed and Corsair
