The Beach Conflict is an ongoing controversy between the Beach and older major groups on LHC, especially the Legion of Concordia (LoC).
History
On March 27th, 2026, ShadyMelody was retrieving ItzGooMC's head in the End when she was ambushed and killed by SherbetStar33 using crystals named "The Beach is Hiring." This was an upsetting loss for LoC and its associates, as Shady was a longstanding, beloved player. Great distrust was therefore sparked with SherbetStar and his group called the Beach, which he claimed to be the leader of. This had also taken place at the height of the DU5T Bowl, and at this point rampant player killer DU5TIN had admitted to being involved with Sherbet's group. Whoever the Beach was, it was clear to others they were trickling into the server with suspicious motivations.
DU5TIN was soon taken out by scavnger and bronuts45, but SherbetStar33 was just getting warmed up. Earlier that day, he’d killed another staple of the community, Extrotified. Other Beach members joined the server, notably Yordles4Life and Owels. Collectively the group began systematically wiping out primarily new players, which they refer to as cleansing the server. The Legion of Concordia grew quite outspoken against their behavior, as killing innocent players went intensely against the former’s values and mission for the server. From here the Beach only doubled down and began targeting members of LoC, arguing they might be the ones who are ultimately harming the server.
Another Beach member called Somecabbagekid joined the server, initially pretending he had no association with or knowledge about the group. Under this false guise he won over the trust of Bronuts and revealed his true allegiance by killing him after trapping his stasis. This reveal and loss made it remarkably clear just how competent the Beach was as a group, setting other groups on even higher alert than before. Their campaign continued when Duckapope secretly leaked rising LoC city Zenith Wilds to them, getting the place compromised and Muffqn nearly killed. To make matters worse for LoC, shortly thereafter another leaker (presumably noavier) revealed the locations of capital Haven and major farm city the Valley, forcing the group to evacuate their most special bases.
Around this time, Just Another Hardcore was losing a lot of its player base, inspiring guiltfultuna to return to LHC. Out of a personal vendetta against MissLea and a general distaste for LoC, he allied with the Beach, although it was not entirely clear whether he formally joined the group. Nevertheless, this increased their power by a significant margin, Tuna being one of the most skilled crystal pvp-ers on the server. The Beach began hosting the Beach Games too, where they pit grames against one another in a fight to the death. They even began doing their own charity work, occasionally handing out netherite and elytras for free at spawn.
Groups like LoC and the Order of the Sanctum have stayed largely on the defensive against the Beach, given the high tier levels of Cabbage and Tuna. Still, that has neither stopped the former from remaining charitable to new players and rebuilding; nor the latter from isolating and taking down prospective/weaker Beach members. Other player killers, the likes of 1590283112 and Ghoulxs have taken a more offensive approach to dealing with The Beach, but the organization was too afraid to face either of them, even in a 3v1.
Later, in June 2026, when 1590283112 killed ii_futuris it was discovered that futuris was responsible for gearing DU5TIN and SherbetStar33, knowing the chaos they would bring and notably, preventing them from untimely deaths in the usual trials a grame would go through getting geared.
In June 12, Cranforce died to a trap at the LOC main base, after Pikkuxl, a Beach spy inside LOC, leaked the base coords to The Beach. At latest with this war crime, The Beach officially declared the war against Legion Of Conquerors.
To date, the Beach has amassed a total of 114 kills on the server.
