Online Since 2011
I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately for old Minecraft and have had performance issues on other servers, so I decided to start my own Beta server! To join, you’ll need to use a special launcher or mod to fix online mode for older versions. For details, check out our beta server information page. I’ve included instructions on how to play as well as some information about the server.
Enjoy!
The Minecraft 1.13 world was available until it was retired with our 1.18 update. To play this world, make sure to load it in 1.16.5
We now have a Discord server! Most news and minor changes are posted in our Discord server. Be sure to give it a look!
It’s been a long time coming, but Livecraft is back online. www.livecraft.us and www.livecraft.com have been bought by domain parkers, and they want over $2,000, so I’m now hosting it at livecraft.net. To join the server, simply point your Minecraft client to livecraft.net
See you soon!
Livecraft, after a long time offline, has come back! No, this isn’t an April fool’s joke — it’s the real deal. Our server is now hosted by Server.pro, and our website is powered by WordPress. To help with hosting costs, you can make a donation here.
Being that I can’t get the server online in the near future, I’ve made a Discord server. If you haven’t heard of Discord, imagine IRC chat (if you know that), mixed with Skype and Teamspeak. Long story short, it’s great, and here’s the link to join! If you don’t already have Discord, I highly recommend downloading it.
There is no requirement to join, other than signing into Discord.
I’d like to address growing concern regarding Livecraft’s future. I’ve had it offline for some time, due to various concerns, so I’ll be explaining what is going on. I’ve been quite busy with work in my personal life, as well as dealing with computer hardware problems on the server. The server software that was used to run the server no longer functions as expected, and the original developer has abandoned the project (ahtenus’ minecraft-init). I have since created my own version; however, it does not perform all of the functions necessary to run Livecraft properly; therefore, Livecraft cannot run as expected at the moment. The server computer itself is heavily underpowered and I do not have the funds to upgrade it.
Livecraft’s regular operations are on a hiatus until the following can be certain:
Livecraft is something I care about greatly; however, I don’t want to force myself to run it when it does not meet the expectations I have for the server. To put it bluntly, I would rather provide no server than a very poor experience.
I aim to have Livecraft online in a future date, but I honestly cannot guarantee a date when it will return. All I can say for now is that I do intend on bringing it back

Notice: Livecraft is currently offline until further notice. Due to hardware difficulties and lack of funding, a repair is not possible currently and may take up to four weeks to complete. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi, I would like to update you all on some recent network problems with Time Warner Cable that have been affecting Livecraft directly for the past few days. Around 24 hours ago, Time Warner Cable experienced a nationwide service outage which affected Livecraft by causing a large amount of lag and times where the server was not accessible at all. It seems the issue has been dealt with upstream; however, I feel that the quality of the connection has degraded. This may result in the server being slower to respond or occasionally disconnecting players. I would like to announce that this is unfortunately out of my control, and I will be looking to other internet service providers as I feel that Time Warner Cable is not adequate. I appreciate your cooperation as I attempt to work around this issue.
On a personal note, I suggest not getting Time Warner internet. Get Charter or Comcast, you will be a much happier customer.
The server will be offline for a week, or from June 2nd to June 9th 11th, 2014. I am moving from Florida to Wisconsin and the server needs to be packed for moving. I will bring it back online as soon as possible. Furthermore, Prism will need to be fixed once I have relocated, as it is currently broken. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Regards,
Jonathan Alfonso (alfonsojon)
