What is WilderCraft all about?

WilderCraft is a unique Minecraft survival server that celebrates nature and encourages sustainable building practices. We believe in preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the Minecraft world. Our server is dedicated to creating a harmonious balance between player creations and the environment.

At WilderCraft, we encourage players to:

• Embrace the natural landscape and work with it, rather than against it
• Plant and nurture trees of all sizes, creating lush and diverse forests
• Design builds that blend seamlessly with their surroundings
• Explore rustic themes and nature-inspired architecture
• Prioritize sustainable resource management over large-scale industrial farms

What does "semi-vanilla" mean?

WilderCraft is a semi-vanilla server, which means we maintain the core essence of Minecraft while introducing carefully selected enhancements. Here's what you can expect:

Vanilla Minecraft Features:

1. Challenging gameplay with minimal starting assistance
2. Balanced items and powers with trade-offs and limitations
3. Authentic survival experience, including the risk of losing items upon death
4. A game that mirrors real-life challenges, encouraging adaptability and resilience

WilderCraft Enhancements:

We have implemented a handful of custom Java plugins designed to:

• Enhance the gameplay experience
• Introduce new challenges
• Optimize the server for multiplayer interactions
• Reinforce our nature-centric philosophy

Is WilderCraft family-friendly?

Absolutely! WilderCraft is a family-friendly server designed to provide a safe and welcoming environment for players of all ages. We've created a community that values:

• Respect and kindness towards all players
• Cooperation and helpfulness
• A relaxed and enjoyable gaming experience
• Creativity and self-expression within our nature-focused theme

While we maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, we are not affiliated with any religious organization.

Why doesn't WilderCraft allow PvP?

Our decision to disable PvP (Player vs. Player combat) aligns with WilderCraft's core values and community goals:

• Promoting a peaceful and cooperative gameplay environment
• Encouraging creativity and exploration over competition
• Fostering a sense of community and shared achievement
• Allowing players to focus on building, resource gathering, and collaborative projects

While we don't offer PvP, players can still enjoy combat against the various mobs and creatures that inhabit the Minecraft world.

What makes WilderCraft unique?

WilderCraft stands out from other Minecraft servers due to its:

• Strong emphasis on environmental preservation and natural beauty
• Carefully curated plugins that enhance rather than overhaul the vanilla experience
• Friendly, diverse, and supportive community of players
• Focus on sustainable and aesthetic building practices
• Regular events and challenges that align with our nature-centric theme
