Sapphire Development is a group of gamers and content producers. It is a social organization of mainly friends and it is structured and known as the Staff.

Founding of Sapphire

Sapphire started as a small project on a sandbox game called Minecraft. The original project name was “Redemption” and was a custom Minecraft client designed for personal use. The name evolved to Sapphire as they began a Texture Pack project to go along with the client. Diamonds were changed to Sapphires. Eventually, the second part of our name “Development” was adopted to signal that the group will expand into more projects and have “developers”. Sapphire today is composed of the group of friends that met on the Minecraft server in which Project Redemption started on. The main goal currently, is to travel and experiment around games, gaining or losing members.
