If you are an active player in Minecraft 0.14.3/0.15.10, chances are you’ve heard of PortalWix and you’ve played it at least once in your life.

However, after the controversy between me and Tubunga, the previous owner, in summer of 2024, you probably lost track of who owns it.

Quick side note: Tubunga refuses to forgive me and completely disappeared.

2024 was a chaotic year for the whole community. LightWix was temporarily shut down and all servers were inactive as PortalWix received massive praise and activity; it was dominant. The beef started when I got demoted because I was “inactive” while my password kept being reset by a random admin Tubunga never caught.

On top of that, cusses and completely normal words like “lag” were being censored in chat. Still to this day, I’m completely against blocking even just swear words. I believe people should have the right to cuss because it’s just a videogame! So I told Tubunga to unblock at least normal words, and his attitude was dismissive and arrogant.

A few months later, I met Abo3leesh. He was the victim of Tubunga’s arrogance and hostility. Since then, Tubunga has always been our rival. After the controversy, the PortalWix admins leaked the plugin pack for the server.

Around the end of 2024, they were working on a new server called EnderParadise they would release at New Year’s Day. This wasn’t a classic server; You had to apply to actually enter it. Nothing wrong with that. However, they required your phone’s IMEI to actually access the server! That is far beyond insane if you just want to access your Minecraft server. IMEI is sensitive data after all.

As soon as I noticed that, I didn’t wait another second to call them out.

After that controversy was over, they turned off the whitelist and made it available to the public. In late 2025 the project was shut down…because they didn’t have enough funds for their VPS! With the PortalWix pack being leaked, Abo3leesh took the chance and re-launched PortalWix branded as PortalWix 2.0.

I hope I’ve given you an idea of why this beef happened. After all, Abo3leesh is the current owner of PortalWix, and the server is actively developed and maintained.

By Robert Anthony Scianatico

Robert Anthony Scianatico (A.K.A. LookedRobob), born in 2010, is a passionate web developer and the current founder and owner of SodiumNodes. His first online presence was in 2017, with an unpopular blog named Compy The Computer, where he would post download links to programs as well as occasional guides. Moving forward, in 2019 he attempted at being a YouTube content creator, debuting his experience from a YouTube channel by the name Compy The Computer. Similar to this website, he would publish basic tech tutorials, like how to install WinZip on Windows. Although he later failed at maintaining this channel, he launched a gaming YouTube channel called Villager Boy, where he would post Minecraft gameplay videos. His channel ended up getting hacked and eventually banned, so on April 15th, 2022, he decided to create another channel by the same name. This channel also ended up getting banned, this time for no valid reason. He ended up creating a new channel, but after years of bans, he gave up and no longer pursued content creation. On the 8th of March, 2025, with the system administration, Linux and networking knowledge he was gaining behind the scenes Scianatico founded a business called SodiumNodes, a Minecraft hosting provider, with his dad being the legal tutor. It turned out to be a success, helping him gain administration experience.
