Welcome to the Ravenkraft Lore Wiki
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.

History
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 in Minecraft's history. A niche community of city builders and transit junkies, as the saying goes.
| Era | Period | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apples of Discordia | 2011 | The founding anarchy server — no rules, pure community. The social origin of Ravenkraft. |
| Earth | 2011–2012 | The first structured world. Spawn capital: Hellspawn. Maps lost. |
| Alpha Centauri IV | Late 2012–Mid 2013 | First orderly world. Veterans like Mattfu, ParadigmPlague, and Shammon joined here. |
| Zothique | 2015–2017 | The Golden Age. Desovar, the great rail network, Ravenkraft's largest player base. |
| Dark Ages | 2017–2019 | Server goes offline. The community stays in touch. |
| Diaspora | 2019–2021 | ComradeFeliks rebuilds the community from scratch alongside Wizardofire. Spawn capital: New Ravenport. |
| Bankrekka | 2022–present | Ravenkraft relaunches on 1.18 under its original name. 72 cities, a continent-spanning highway network, and counting. |
Full history: Ravenkraft History. Archived builds from every era are explorable through the RVNK Arcology on the Event Server.
