hoary plover
This thread will aim to make a concrete list and timeline of important breakthroughs, Interesting, meaningful FDs, historic moments, date and context behind the birth of one project, completion of projects, etc. etc.
The point of doing this is to document our history as well as make it easier for anyone who wishes to talk about the history of the game.
Feel free to contribute anything!

what is the significance of Bulgaria? 😅
oh, first known country discovered
I’d suggest first starting with the big picture and then filling in the gaps in order of significance, otherwise you’ll probably get lost in the weeds
the biggest-picture events I can think of are game updates, so Release -> Helper 1 -> Helper 2 -> MBS -> Helper 3 -> IC+ (the latter two in the future)
molten tree
wait
hoary plover
what is the significance of `Bulgaria`? 😅
Just noteworthy FD idk
Im on phone rn its hard doing anything
molten tree
we made our history bounty boards at the same time...
hoary plover
Instead of doing a chronology of one thing i just scrolled through and noted anything sorta interesting
Oh
pliant gate
kali is a mod so your thread is overruled calvin XD
pliant gate
discord tyrany is trendy tho
molten tree
btw this is just technical infinite craft overall, so things before the discords creation are still checked out
but the whole thing is mainly about the discord since that's where all technical stuff happens
oh i fixed the link
it's public now
pliant gate
legit the only “historical Infinite Craft events” I can think of since I joined the discord are 3lw and depth-12 scrape lmao
I guess tech automation too
hoary plover
Duuude remember Unicode Shavian
That shit was CRAZY probably my best FD (i have almost 0 useful and interesting FDs)
molten tree
legit the only “historical Infinite Craft events” I can think of since I joined ...
i mean like there have been alot of stuff
mainly in laboratory
pliant gate
I don’t know any off the top of my head 😅
pliant gate
casefiles were deleted werent they? 😶
ohh Array Craft
that happened
and string.cult
molten tree
casefiles were deleted werent they? 😶
they were updated
check the first message in laboratory now 🙂
pliant gate
I guess what I mean is I don’t know of any big community projects apart from 3lw that have been completed in the last few months
molten tree
yeah, but like how many communities have even been completed
1 letter sequences
2 letter sequences
3 letter sequences
what else
pliant gate
not that I can think of, that’s my point. Unicode, cities, and 4lw are all huge so theyll take many more months
pliant gate
we don’t even have 2-letter altphabets completed, only some lol
molten tree
i think i just found some (not hard) evidence for pre trained elements

I guess the seeming endangerment of tech elements like The Hashtag is a historic event

"Neal sent a message on Twitter saying “Working on an endless crafting game with llama 2”, in which he attached a video. The four starting elements were Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. This means that originally Wind was instead Air, which might have affected Infinite Craft in the current day. The elements seemed to glow yellow when selected. First discoveries most likely didn’t exist. Back in these times, dark mode and the search bar both didn’t exist back then. It seems that the emojis had also changed before release, as the Earth element had a different element than when the game released. Sharknado was also 2 emojis instead of one."
high hare
do things like the quote glitch and white square glitch count
molten tree
yeah
marble lily
tsd"pbg" was probably the birth of trying to find consistent partial quote elements
high hare
do things like the quote glitch and white square glitch count
i think the white square glitch started around february 20th
molten tree
i don't have a twitter account can someone scan the comments of the post?
gotta see if anything was invented there
high hare
i think the white square glitch started around february 20th
and the quote glitch started in mid/late march
high hare
i'm just going off of messages in the discord so it could be wrong
molten tree
i could just scan the 116k images in bounty board and find all the stuff that happend...
high hare
you could but that would take a while
molten tree
yeah

the first message that i see that contains the words progress reset is on february 14th so that could be around the time of the first progress reset on ic

let's make a thing for jan 31
or when the game released
"On January 31st, Infinite Craft released for the first time"

why is this dc still unofficial? like neal literally chats in here and in #announcements and stuff

i'm going to make a second document where i put all the information in here, then i can put it in the doc in a more polished way
keen sun
I do want to try to contribute to this, but I don't think my accomplishments have been of much use except for me being the first to discover Append Closing Parenthesis
keen sun
Actually just in case I'll put in my other two greatest achievements:
Completing finding every Disney TVA show by myself, and being the one to initiate optimizing finding one element starting with each letter
molten tree
one base element?
keen sun
one base element?
Nope, I'll show you what it was
keen sun
This challenge was perfectly optimized: #1226511876733669436 message
molten tree
ah
keen sun
Oh wait, I'm also responsible for the Pandora's box of creating the longest lineage of elements where all of them are found in alphabetical order: https://discord.com/channels/1203527044957208596/1266506928805384283
That challenge was so bad no one has finished it yet, not even me
molten tree
ok the only thing i've ever done is i played a role in the spelled backwards bounty board
OH
keen sun
We'll definitely need to include the day all 3 letters was completed
molten tree
i also made the infinite craft wiki
high hare
march 7th is the day when the Ask for Word, We'll Make thread was made by vTri
molten tree
yeah
keen sun
I just found the final 3 letter string: #1211185679846088704 message
Or rather I found the post associated with finding the last 3 letter string
high hare
february 28th is when the every single city thread was made by pal
keen sun
We should also include the day the helper bot stopped
molten tree
the IC helper was released on feb 4 i think?
high hare
the helper bot most likely first died in early august or late july
molten tree
oof
high hare
and feb 6th is when it was first created
molten tree
wait really?
valid monolith
ooh
molten tree
cus i heard reference to a helper as early as feb 4
in the discord
the dc was made on feb 3
high hare
i just checked it's profile
molten tree
ah
"i could tell by how the ss has the helper running lol" - Twilite
"once i get 2.0 of the script out (which means logging in this server!)
Would you mind if I pin a post on the subreddit with both the release of Helper and the discord server?"

"On February 1st, Mikafaric, (a well known Infinite Craft player), showed in private DMs that the submission in Infinite Craft for speedrun.com got denied.[1] Verday then said “Every element on the periodic table%”, which then later caused Mikafaric to create the discord server.[2]
On February 3rd, the Infinite Craft discord server was created. The discord is pretty much where all technical stuff happens, so this day was very important in the technical community. The discord was not published until February 4th though. Another important thing which happened on February 4th was the release of the Infinite Craft Helper,[3] which gave dark mode, a search bar, middle click copy, and a save file system. Later on this day though, the search bar was added by Neal into the base game,[4] replacing the sort options he added before.
On February 5th, Neal fixed the search bar being transparent.[5] Mikafaric posted an image showing how far the “periodic table%” route had come.[6] LonewuSheep says that numbers are a good way to get first discoveries,[7] which is now a common way to farm first discoveries.
On February 6th, LittleEndu shows an element which has a “ + “ in it.[8] Pbpbpb makes a bot which automatically makes random elements.[9] Pbpbpb mentions that there is most likely a token limit,[10] which is correct, the token limit is 20. Lilihahattl shows the first known domain name element “Amazon.co.jp”.[11] Ram posts a message of a bunch of countries they found, which suggests they were trying to get them all.[12] Lilihahattl shares a picture of what is the first known 4chan board element, /jp/.[13] Funkyllama shows off the element Opposite.[14] Patashu finds the element Not and posts a lineage for it.[15]
On February 7th, LittleEndu found the element Zodiac Project, which has 5 emojis.[16] AronJerda says that the only impossible word to get is Nothing.[17] The all countries of Europe bounty board was created.[18] The Touhou characters bounty board was created.[19]"
"On February 10th, a bounty board for Japanese related elements was created.[23] Pbpbpb created the Emojis bounty board for finding emojis.[24] The Greek discord channel was created,[25] and the Unicode channel was created.[26]
On February 12th, the bounty board Prompt Injection / Ignore Previous Instructions was created.[27]"
i searched so many images for that
all images up to feb 12
@hoary plover could you add this document in the placeholder pin? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xLOk3QsH4P4GcZeNMXVnz7S34OLGx6WpmRsP8sDD_kA/edit
thanks!
keen sun
I was to know when elements containing the equals sign were found to be impossible to get
molten tree
uh
tall locust
Ah, the Interview
molten tree
like feb 13? that's when the = sign bounty board was made
oh wait
that bounty board was made before they learned it was impossible
tall locust
Nope, the 22nd
molten tree
tall locust
10 days of forlorn hope
molten tree
what?
tall locust
For the next 14 days we steadily exhausted all options, gathering together many of the people that would eventually evolve into the technical community, before finally receiving that impossible confirmation
molten tree
yeah like people were just going "i mean maybe equals sign is possible?" until neal said it was impossible

Funny actually
You can see the old Speedrunning scene in that bounty

February 6th: yui and her friend group found out about Infinite Craft
February 7th:
blazing vale
/combine so friends could play Infinite Craft in Discord/analyze (save file analyzer), which was just a very simple command that just showed some stats about your elements, since savefiles did not have any recipes, and we did not know about the helper scripteverything after this is in the infinibrowser's changelog
tranquil monolith
20 million recipe database? right now the browser only says 30 million, and its been months since then
spark badge
wait no
30 million, but it had a lot of Nothing recipes
as well as duplicates (A + B = C and B + A = C)
and "useless" recipes like A + B = A
spark badge
around 18 million
there were not many extensions since then
but i extended it with the 11-step optimals database
and recently the 12-step optimals
tranquil monolith
jesus why does the browser only have 30 million now if someone got 20 million in february
spark badge
shrug
there's no good ways to scrape anymore
previously brower showed like 25 million but that was including all the duplicates, broken recipes and Nothing recipes
but this time, its fully 30 million recipes for real
spark badge
there's no good ways to scrape anymore
and Lapis was scraping ever since the game came out, using like 60 proxies
tranquil monolith
so he was scraping 60 times faster than u can now?
spark badge
so that was like 120 recipes per second for almost a month
i can't scrape from my VPS at all
hollow skiff
so he was scraping 60 times faster than u can now?
technically you can still scrap at that rate now, it's just harder
spark badge
yeah
neal enabled bot protection on february 18th
and i tried many times to bypass it
using selenium or similar browsers
using special tools made specifically for bypassing cloudflare's bot protection
hollow skiff
puppeteer has always worked for me
spark badge
nothing worked
and i just kinda didnt care about scraping anymore
the database is really big anyways
but depth 13 is also gonna be useful, if we decide to do it
tranquil monolith
neal enabled bot protection on february 18th
is there something different between using a bot and using a script in a browser
spark badge
yes
SSL fingerprinting allows to identify the browser that made a request
if you try to make requests programmaticaly outisde of a browser, that can be detected
but otherwise, if you send requests in your browser, there's no difference between requests sent by the game and requests sent by a userscript
spark badge
why dont u scrape on browsers then
thats already in progress
still in development
but coming very soon
to verify all user-submitted savefiles
tranquil monolith
oh yeah infinite craft at home
what if u hack a billionaires bank account and buy 1000 computers, and then scrape on each one in the browser (joke)

fun InfiniBrowser trivia: Nothing used to have an internal id of 209
back when i started the project i forgot about Nothing, so it got discovered later by the scraper as the 209th element. the scraper also used to check recipes using Nothing at first
it remained as 209 for a very long time, until the recent migration, which finally fixed this

I'm relatively new to this server, having been here for less than a month, although I had first started playing Infinite Craft during the first month of its release since I have some of the censored elements that got censored sometime in March as well as Trump with the old 💩 emoji before that was changed too.
Your Google doc is very interesting, but it doesn't go past February 13th, 2024. Do you have any plans to update that doc to include even more history?
