r/place in Minecraft

r/place 2023 is live! https://reddit.com/r/place

Unofficial server: place.cerus.dev

r/place is a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on the social networking site Reddit. Originally launched on April Fools' Day 2017, it has since been repeated again on April Fools' Day 2022, and is taking place for a third time on July 20, 2023. The experiment involves an online canvas located at a subreddit called r/place, which registered users could edit by changing the color of a single pixel from a 16-color palette.
