Ravenkraft operates two live servers alongside a historical archive. Each serves a distinct purpose in the community.

Ravenkraft Nations

Ravenkraft Nations is the main semi-vanilla survival server — the permanent home world where players build cities, claim land, trade, and explore.

  • Address: nations.ravenkraft.org
  • Version: Java Edition 1.20+
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Live Dynmap

Features

  • Land Claims (GriefPrevention)
  • TrainCarts rail network (Nether Express)
  • Player Shops (Barter system)
  • Mob Heads
  • Lore system

Bankrekka (Current World)

Bankrekka launched in February 2022 with Minecraft 1.18 and is the active survival world. The spawn capital is Ravenport, home to the main train station, city portal, and market district. See Cities for a full list of settlements and Landmarks for notable points of interest.

Historical Worlds (Arcology)

Over a decade of Ravenkraft builds are preserved in the RVNK Arcology archive. These worlds span from the server's founding in 2011 through 2021 and are accessible via the Event Server.

RVNK Event Server

The RVNK Event Server is where rotating game modes, seasonal events, custom modpacks, and experimental systems live. It also hosts the full Arcology archive, making every historical world available for community revisits.

  • Address: event.ravenkraft.org
  • Weekly events and rotating maps
  • World-hopping between event instances
  • Dev experiments that may graduate to Nations

See Events for the current event lineup.

Arcology

Minecraft has always had three dimensions. The Arcology quietly adds more — and each one is made of history.

Every Ravenkraft world since Alpha Centauri IV is preserved in the RVNK Arcology — an interactive Dynmap archive where players can wander the ruins of Zothique's Desovar skyline, trace the Purpur Line rails, or revisit their first house in Diaspora's New Ravenport. The archive runs on the RVNK Dev server and is browsable by anyone at arcology.fourz.org.

RVNK Dev

A private sandbox where the development team builds and tests custom plugins, event systems, quest mechanics, and world tools. Ideas that prove out here eventually ship to the live servers.
