Hello, Betacraft, and hello again to our old domains!

I wanted to say hello to the Betacraft community! Livecraft’s Beta 1.7.3 server was recently added to the Betacraft Launcher‘s server list. The Betacraft launcher provides a very convenient way to play Beta Minecraft online as it was meant to be played. Mojang has not fixed the login and server authentication issues despite promising to do so in 2022! The launcher has some extras, including the old door, arrow, and egg sounds for full beta immersion.

Betacraft’s newest 2.0 launcher is currently in alpha, and one of the changes made is adding support for modern Minecraft versions. I will be looking to add Livecraft’s modern server to that list once I have the opportunity to do so.

Welcome, Betacraft community! I hope you enjoy our server as much as we have.

Also, I have some exciting news! After years, our old domains livecraft.us and live-craft.com have finally been given up by the domain parkers/scalpers! I was able to acquire them for a very reasonable price and have configured them to redirect to livecraft.net. Anyone out there with live-craft.com or livecraft.us still in their server list will see it light up for the first time in years. ❤️

I’ve also made a few changes to our website that should prevent minor issues if you access it through mc.livecraft.net or livecraft.net. We now have a redirect that will take you to www.livecraft.net, preventing any odd sign-in issues or issues with browser extensions such as Dark Reader not remembering your preferences.

We support Bedrock!

Through the use of a set of plugins called Geyser & Floodgate, we allow bedrock players to join & if both Bedrock & Java copies are owned, use their linked Java account on our server to play as the same user! Try it out!

To join from Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox, you’ll need to add “Livecraft9255” to your friends list. Once you do this, you’ll be able to join Livecraft by joining a cross platform friend’s world.

Beta 1.7.3 Server now live!

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!

What’s New: Week 517

Saw my old “What’s New” weekly-ish posts and decided to see how many weeks it’s been since then. 517 weeks! We’re old.

I’m introducing a new page which will be coming soon, with the goal of documenting available commands, what they do, and who has access to them. This will include Livecraft-specific features, such as the poke command.

Update: I’ve launched those pages! They can be accessed by expanding the About category, or by clicking one of the links below:

Livecraft Archives!

We’ve added a section to the site for archives from Livecraft’s history. You’ll be able to find world downloads, old content, and more to come on this page. You can visit the Media and Archives category to see the content available. If you’d like to make any suggestions, have anything to contribute, or want to comment, please reach out by leaving a comment on the page, this post, or on Discord.

Livecraft Back Online

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!

Back at it again!

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.

Now 1.8 ready!

Hey guys, just a quick update, the server is now 1.8 compatible. All 1.8 features should be working perfectly, but there were some issues updating, so tell a staff member if you have issues.

Have fun!

Some Bug Fixes

Hello, just a quick update to let you know that I’ve fixed some issues. Fixing items with anvils should now work, and mcMMO should be working better than it was before. Although it was not noticeable on the user side, mcMMO has been causing many issues on the server side of things. All should be good now.

In other news, I will be doing periodic plugin updates, so please pardon the occasional server reboot as this is necessary to update plugins.

Regards,

Sponge & 1.8 Progress

Hello, the Sponge project has been progressing very rapidly and as a result, Sponge may be available by the end of the year. Livecraft may experience a time with a lack of plugins, but this will be necessary during the conversion process. Livecraft will always have the core features, as well as MCBans and a block logging plugin such as Prism. As for the 1.8 update progress, we have a spawn built and ready to use in the next 1.8 map. This will make the update much quicker, as we can copy the new spawn from the temporary world used to build it to the new 1.8 world. As always, I’ll keep you all updated.

Regards,
Jonathan Alfonso (alfonsojon)
