Welcome to the Ravenkraft Lore Wiki[edit]

Ravenkraft is a long-standing Minecraft community, established in 2011, focused on semi-vanilla gameplay, collaborative city-building, and interconnected transit networks. We run two live servers — Ravenkraft Nations, the permanent survival world where cities grow and rail lines expand, and the RVNK Event Server, a rotating venue for modpacks, seasonal events, and experiments. Over a decade of archived worlds from 2011–2022 lives on through the RVNK Arcology. This wiki is a living record of the history, cities, and players that have made Ravenkraft what it is.

The World[edit]

Cities & Settlements[edit]

Bankrekka is home to dozens of player-built settlements, from the sprawling capital Ravenport to distant frontier outposts.

Cities — 72 settlements with coordinates and map links
Landmarks — Natural features, dimension portals, and community attractions
Nether Express — The nether highway network that ties the world together

Servers & Worlds[edit]

Worlds — Both live servers and over a decade of history via the RVNK Arcology

Community[edit]

Players — Notable players who have shaped Ravenkraft across every era
Events — Upcoming and past in-game events
Staff — The admins keeping Ravenkraft running
Patreon — Supporters who help keep the servers online

Lore[edit]

Community stories, traditions, and in-world history that have built up over the years.

Cheese Toasty Day — The holiday Wizardofire accidentally invented
Shadowmelt — The server's mythical mascot

History[edit]

Ravenkraft has been running — with a few storied hiatuses — since 2011. What started as an anarchy experiment became one of the longest-running community-focused survival servers: builders, transit nerds and world-builders. We will soon be embarking upon our RPG Journey with the help the in-progress quests and lore plugins.
