Live development participation
Selected players work alongside the Network team on unfinished systems, dangerous experiments, new worlds, dungeons, arenas, and the places future stories will begin.
01 / The work
Test it. Shape it. Build it.
Test Hardcore gameplay, contracts, expeditions, revival rituals, world threats, multiplayer behavior, balance, performance, exploits, and website-to-Minecraft integration. Useful reports include repeatable steps, evidence, expected behavior, and actual results.
Develop terrain, settlements, dungeons, event arenas, interiors, technical puzzles, environmental lore, and adventure routes while following assigned briefs, palettes, boundaries, revision requests, and performance safeguards.
02 / Available roles
Choose where you contribute
Apply for one or more roles. Administrators can approve only the roles that best match your experience and the Network’s current needs.
Gameplay, integration, performance, balance, exploit, and reproduction testing.
Complete worlds, terrain, biomes, caves, roads, and large-scale composition.
Settlements, structures, roads, bridges, camps, and decorative construction.
Dungeons, temples, fortresses, trials, arenas, and gameplay structures.
Functional interiors, lighting, furniture, rooms, and detailed decoration.
Terraforming, trees, cliffs, caves, paths, blending, and environmental detail.
Shattered Realms routes, encounters, puzzles, extraction, and player flow.
Performance-safe mechanisms, traps, puzzles, reset behavior, and documentation.
Threat, PvE, boss, seasonal, tournament, and spectator environments.
Lore locations, memorials, ruins, books, visual storytelling, and continuity.
03 / Selection
How participation works
Your application, private messages, work history, and rewards stay tied to one secure account.
Enter your Java username. The server plugin prepares short-lived whitelist access so you can join play.hardcoreminecraft.net and run /profile link CODE. Your UUID—not typed text—becomes authoritative, and temporary access is removed after linking or expiry.
Verify your Discord identity through OAuth, select roles, describe your availability and experience, and include meaningful portfolio evidence for building roles. Discord is the program contact channel.
Staff may request information, waitlist the application, or assign a bounded trial build with a brief, palette, deadline, plot, and reviewer.
Approved UUIDs are synchronized to only the assigned development servers, worlds, LuckPerms groups, cohorts, and temporary tools.
04 / Before you apply
Development is unfinished by definition
05 / Recognition
Leave a permanent mark
Accepted reports, approved builds, completed testing phases, responsible exploit discoveries, launch work, and staff-recognized contributions enter a permanent participation ledger.
The Founder badge is permanent recognition for qualifying early participants in good standing. It is never awarded merely for applying.
