Welcome to the Ravenkraft Lore Wiki
Ravenkraft is a long-standing Minecraft community, established in 2012, 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. A decade of archived worlds from 2012–2022 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.
