What?
Peaceland began as a series of Minecraft: Pocket Edition (now Bedrock Edition) maps that have largely evolved to become these three creations over the years: the work-in-progress, ongoing Project Peaceland, its precursor, the Republic of Peaceland (discontinued 2018, commemorative release of unseen material in 2021), and Peaceland - Origins (commemorative re-release in 2017).
Project Peaceland is an upcoming Marketplace project that allows you to fully experience life in a metropolis: a wide range of skyscrapers with varying architectural styles and great artistic value; a green urban environment carefully planned with sustainability in mind; and a sophisticated infrastructural network to maximise the realism of your experience. Follow @Projx_Peaceland on Twitter to stay posted with its progress.
Prior to 2018, we've been working the Republic of Peaceland, a critically-acclaimed city map with over 200,000 downloads in total since its first release in 2014. Built on Bedrock Edition - first on mobile, then on Windows 10 - the Republic of Peaceland eventually evolved into Project Peaceland by 2018 when it migrated to Java and merged into AntaresBT. You may still download its last public release (Dev. Build 4.20) from our archives.
Dating further back before 2014, we've been working on Peaceland - Origins, our very first map founded on the 8th November, 2012, which we re-released on our 5th anniversary as the Quinquennium Edition, a reminder of our humble beginnings.

Who?
The Peaceland series was originally founded by NickMiao0928 in 2012 as a one-man project (Twitter). As the size of the project grew over time, we've formed a small development team, the Project Peaceland Development Team (PPDT), operating semi-independently under the umbrella of Antares BT.
Project Lead - NickMiao0928
Project Manager - Kae
Architect(s) - Kevin Chan NXUS Brian YCL
Over the years, Peaceland has received an overwhelming support and assistance from the members of the International Association of Minecraft Architects (IAMA), which we co-founded along with the Republic of Avrin, the Federal Republic of Newland, and NXUS on the 7th November, 2016. In particular, we would like to thank a number of members from both the IAMA and Antares BT who have made various guest appearances in Peaceland over the years in the form of builds:
AntaresBT - LeonIDL Nohman12354
IAMA - Astoria Avrin Egaland Lexerland
Project Lead - NickMiao0928
Project Manager - Kae
Architect(s) - Kevin Chan NXUS Brian YCL

Why?
To create - here at Peaceland, we strive to create an immersive experience in a bustling metropolis. You may live in a small mundane village in rural Gloucestershire, but Minecraft breaks down geographical barriers by bringing you to the heart of a never-before-seen city.
To inspire - the equality of Minecraft is central to the philosophy of Peaceland. Its accessibility allows players of all ages to have fun, and its lack of strict rules makes it a blank canvas, tabula rasa, for children and adults alike. With the same building blocks, we hope to inspire those who may doubt themselves: if we can do it, there's nothing stopping you.
