Hey everyone,

Quick (but important) update as we begin bringing The Hardcore Minecraft Network back online.

Over the last stretch of downtime we’ve been doing major hardware upgrades and stability work behind the scenes. During that process, we unfortunately experienced data loss. We’ve already shared the broad impact, but the main area of concern was the Vanilla Hardcore server.

What Happened

The Vanilla Hardcore world suffered a complete loss.

That means we could not recover the map, builds, inventories, or progression from that server.

What This Means Going Forward

Vanilla Hardcore is now a true fresh start. Everyone begins from zero.

This is not a rollback or partial reset, it’s a full new world.

The Good News

Vanilla Hardcore is officially back online and OPEN for play right now.

️ What To Expect As We Return

We’re bringing things back in phases.

You may see other parts of the network appear online in short bursts while we validate systems and update compatibility for newer Minecraft versions. If something looks a little scuffed, that’s because we’re actively restoring and improving core systems as we go.

How You Can Help

If you notice issues (performance spikes, odd behavior, broken features), please report them with:

• What happened

• Where it happened (coords if possible)

• Time/date

• Any screenshots or clips

️ Thank You

We know losing a world stings. We appreciate everyone’s patience and we’re committed to rebuilding stronger and more resilient than before.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump in, this is it:

Vanilla Hardcore is live. Fresh world. One life. Let’s make new legends.
