CraftWare

Video
CraftWare is our brand new WarioWare inspired minigames world featuring 20+ microgames and 8+ boss stages. Each microgame will earn you one point when you win them, and each boss stage will earn you five points. To play CraftWare, walk through the minigames portal in the Hub world or type /warp craftware to warp there in an instant.

Each microgame lasts four seconds at regular speed, and after a couple microgames the game speeds up resulting in the games becoming more difficult to complete. The game has a small chance to initiate a bonus round as well, to put a twist on the game and keep it interesting.

CraftWare allows you to earn points that you can spend using our brand new /points system. Some of these items including the famous Travel Medallion from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, or the Hookshot from the classic Legend of Zelda games.

PvP

Do you think you have what it takes to battle it out with your friends/frenemies? Hop into our brand new PvP world by walking through the minigames portal in our Hub world, or type /warp pvp in the chat to warp there in an instant. PvP is a very new concept to us, so we are constantly looking to improve the experience!

There are four classes to choose from:WarriorRangedWizardHunter

Each class has its own set of items and playstyle. Find out what suits you best in combat!

Bedrock

Our server has its own unique resource pack which you can download by directly joining our server and accepting the resource pack prompt. The pack will get updated every time an event comes around or when new items get added through one of our plugins. The resource pack is required as of June 23, 2023.

Our resource pack works properly without the use of OptiFine/CIT Resewn, but some of our custom items do require one of the two mods.

You can download OptiFine for 1.20.1 here: https://optifine.net/downloads Or download CIT Resewn for 1.20.1 here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cit-resewn

OptiFine works out of the box if installed seperately or together with Forge.

OptiFine may not work together with Fabric.
Looking for a Fabric alternative to gain performance? Install Sodium, Iris and CIT Resewn to recreate the OptiFine experience.

Our custom resource pack is compatible with Bedrock Edition, on every version! Some features may not work such as compasses, bows, armors or custom 3D models.

Bedrock

Our server supports Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, meaning you can join our server through one of your preferred editions of Minecraft.

Are you playing on Windows 10 or Mobile Edition? Simply enter the IP mc.hyrulegaminggroup.com and port 25565

Minecraft Servers Guide

A Minecraft server acts as a digital gathering space, akin to a vast, interactive playground accessible from any internet-connected device worldwide. It’s where enthusiasts of Minecraft come together, transcending physical boundaries, to engage in building, exploring, and embarking on adventures within the boundless realms of the Minecraft universe.

Contrasting the solitary confines of single-player gameplay, akin to the familiarity of one’s own backyard, a server offers the expansive and dynamic environment of a public park. It’s a place where individuals can mingle, collaborate, and compete. Each server is distinguished by its unique set of rules, games, and community ethos, presenting a myriad of worlds each with its distinct flavor of play. From building competitions and adventure quests to team-based challenges, servers cater to a broad spectrum of activities and interests.

Servers are powered by specialized software that orchestrates every aspect of the game. This includes managing the placement of blocks, the movement of players, and their interactions, ensuring a seamless and synchronized experience. Such a setup fosters real-time collaboration and interaction, rendering the gameplay experience more engaging and interconnected.

Joining a Minecraft server is like deciding to play at a friend’s house instead of your own. You just need to know where their house is and be invited in. Here’s how you can join in on the fun:

For Minecraft: Java Edition

  1. Launch Minecraft: Open the Minecraft game on your computer.
  2. Select ‘Multiplayer’: On the main menu, click the “Multiplayer” option.
  3. Add Server: Click on “Add Server” or “Direct Connect”. “Add Server” lets you save the server details for easy access later, while “Direct Connect” is for a one-time visit.
  4. Enter Server Details: Input the server’s name and address. The server name is just for your reference, and the server address is provided by the server.
  5. Join Server: Once you’ve entered the server details, select the server from your list and click “Join Server”.

For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition/Windows 10 and Console Editions

  1. Launch Minecraft: Start the game on your device.
  2. Go to ‘Play’: On the main menu, select the “Play” option.
  3. Access ‘Servers’ Tab: Navigate to the “Servers” tab at the top of the screen.
  4. Add or Choose a Server: If your platform allows, add a new server or select an existing one from the list.
  5. Connect: After adding or selecting a server, click “Join Server” or “Play”.

Important Notes:

  • Server Compatibility: Ensure the server’s version matches your Minecraft edition.
  • Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is required.
  • Server Rules: Familiarize yourself with the server’s rules for a better experience.

Yes, you can create your own Minecraft server! Setting up your server allows you to customize your gameplay experience, set your own rules, and invite friends or players from around the world to join. Here’s a basic overview of the steps:

  1. Check System Requirements: Ensure your computer meets the necessary requirements for running a Minecraft server. You’ll need a decent processor, enough RAM, and ample bandwidth, especially if you plan to host several players.
  2. Download the Server Software: Visit the official Minecraft website to download the server software. Choose the version that matches the Minecraft edition you want to play (Java or Bedrock).
  3. Configure Your Server: After downloading, you’ll need to configure your server by editing the server.properties file. This includes setting game options, like survival or creative mode, and customizing world settings.
  4. Launch the Server: Run the server software to start your server. The first time you run the server, it will create game files and folders. Make sure to agree to the EULA by editing the eula.txt file.
  5. Connect to Your Server: Once your server is up and running, you can connect to it using your computer’s IP address if you’re playing locally, or your public IP address if you’re inviting others to join from different locations.
  6. Set Up Port Forwarding: If you want players from outside your local network to join your server, you’ll likely need to set up port forwarding on your router. This directs external Minecraft server traffic to your server.

Creating your own server can be quite rewarding, but it also requires some technical knowledge, especially for managing and maintaining the server long-term. If you’re not ready to dive into server management, there are also third-party services that offer Minecraft server hosting, often with easy setup and management tools.

The cost of running a Minecraft server can vary, depending on how you choose to set it up:

  • Self-Hosted Servers: You can set up a Minecraft server on your own computer or a dedicated server at no extra cost beyond your internet and electricity bills. This method requires technical knowledge and resources, especially for hosting multiple players or public servers.
  • Minecraft Realms: Mojang offers a subscription-based service called Minecraft Realms, which provides a private server for you and your friends. The cost varies depending on the platform and the number of players but offers a simpler and more secure option for less technical users.
  • Third-Party Hosting Services: There are many third-party companies that provide Minecraft server hosting for a fee. These services often include additional features, support, and ease of use but at a recurring cost.

In summary, while it’s possible to run a Minecraft server for ‘free’ if you have the necessary technical skills and resources, there are also paid options available that provide additional features and support for a more hassle-free experience.

The number of players that can join a Minecraft server at one time varies widely and depends on several factors:

  • Server Type and Configuration: Server administrators can set a maximum player limit during server setup. This number can be adjusted in the server’s configuration files.
  • Hardware Resources: The server’s CPU, RAM, and bandwidth significantly influence its capacity. Higher specifications allow for more players by handling more data and calculations simultaneously.
  • Network Connection: A server’s internet connection must have sufficient upload and download speeds to accommodate all players, especially for intensive activities like large-scale building or PvP (Player vs. Player) battles.
  • Minecraft Edition: The Java Edition and Bedrock Edition of Minecraft might perform differently under similar conditions due to differences in how they’re built and managed.

As a general guideline, a small, personal server might comfortably support 10-20 players, while larger, more robust servers with dedicated hardware can support hundreds or even thousands of players. However, the actual performance will vary based on the specific setup and usage scenario.

Minecraft servers come in various types, each offering unique gameplay experiences. Here are some of the most popular types:

  • Survival Servers: Players must gather resources, build structures, and survive against mobs. Often, these servers have a strong focus on community and collaboration.
  • Creative Servers: Players have unlimited resources to build with and can focus on creating elaborate structures and artworks without worrying about survival mechanics.
  • Adventure Servers: These servers offer custom-built maps and adventures that players can explore. They often include quests, puzzles, and custom game mechanics.
  • PvP (Player vs. Player) Servers: Focused on combat between players, these servers can range from organized tournaments to chaotic free-for-alls.
  • Mini-game Servers: These servers feature a variety of mini-games, from spleef to capture the flag, allowing players to jump in and out of games as they please.
  • Modded Servers: These servers use modifications to the game which can add new items, game mechanics, and experiences. They require players to have the same mods installed to join.
  • Hardcore Servers: Similar to the hardcore mode in single-player, these servers often have high difficulty settings and the possibility of a permanent death or ban upon dying in-game.

Each type of server offers a different set of rules, gameplay styles, and community experiences, catering to the diverse preferences of Minecraft players around the world.

Protecting your Minecraft server from unwanted disruptions is crucial for a positive gaming experience. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Use Whitelisting: Only allow known players to join your server by enabling a whitelist. This can significantly reduce the chances of griefers and hackers finding their way in.
  • Install Anti-Grief Plugins: For servers running on platforms like Bukkit, Spigot, or Paper, there are many plugins available that can help prevent griefing and hacking, such as WorldGuard, CoreProtect, and GriefPrevention.
  • Keep Your Server Updated: Regularly updating your server software and any plugins or mods can help fix known vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit.
  • Use Strong Passwords: If your server requires a password, ensure it’s strong and unique to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Limit Permissions: Be cautious about who you grant administrative privileges to. Use role-based access control to limit the actions players can take, reducing potential damage.
  • Backup Regularly: Regular backups can’t stop hackers or griefers, but they can mitigate the damage by allowing you to restore your server to a pre-attack state.
  • Monitor Server Activity: Keep an eye on your server’s activity logs for any unusual behavior or unauthorized access attempts. Tools and plugins can help automate this monitoring.

By implementing these measures, you can create a safer environment for your Minecraft server, protecting it against disruptive players and security threats.

Yes, transferring your Minecraft world to a different server is possible and allows you to retain your progress and creations when moving to a new hosting environment. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Locate Your World Folder: On your current server, locate the folder named after your world. This is typically found in the main server directory and contains all the data for your Minecraft world.
  2. Prepare the World Folder: Ensure the server is stopped before proceeding to avoid any data corruption. Then, compress the world folder into a ZIP file for easier handling and transfer.
  3. Transfer the World Folder: Use a file transfer method such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload the compressed world file to your new server. The exact process may vary depending on your server hosting platform.
  4. Decompress the World Folder: Once uploaded, decompress the ZIP file to restore the world folder in the main directory of your new server.
  5. Configure the New Server: Modify the server properties file (server.properties) on your new server to point to the name of your transferred world folder.
  6. Start Your New Server: After setting up, start the new server and it should load with your transferred world.

Following these steps should successfully transfer your Minecraft world to a new server. Remember to back up your world before starting the transfer process to prevent any loss of data.

Minecraft server plugins can greatly extend and enhance the game’s functionality and multiplayer experience. Here are some popular plugins that server administrators often use:

  • EssentialsX: Provides a comprehensive suite of basic server commands and features such as player homes, server warps, and economy features.
  • WorldEdit: A powerful tool for making large-scale edits in your Minecraft world, perfect for creative building projects and terraforming.
  • WorldGuard: Offers protection for your server’s worlds and regions, preventing griefing and unauthorized changes.
  • LuckPerms: A permissions plugin that allows for detailed control over what players can and cannot do, making server management easier and more secure.
  • Vault: A plugin that enables support for various types of economy plugins, permissions, and chat plugins, acting as a bridge between them for better integration.
  • McMMO: Adds RPG-like elements to Minecraft, such as skill leveling and special abilities, enhancing the gameplay experience for players.
  • Citizens: Allows for the creation of NPC (non-player characters) within the game, which can be used for quests, shops, and more, adding depth to the server’s world.
  • GriefPrevention: Helps prevent griefing by giving players the tools to claim and protect their own land and builds.
  • Dynmap: Renders your Minecraft worlds as Google Maps-like web maps, providing a real-time view of the server’s geography and activities.

These plugins can transform your server, offering new features and gameplay mechanics that cater to a wide variety of playstyles and server types.

Finding and joining popular Minecraft servers can lead to exciting multiplayer experiences. Here’s how you can discover and connect with these communities:

  1. Server Lists: Websites like Minecraft Servers Listing (minecraft-servers-listing.com), New Minecraft Servers (newminecraftservers.com), and Planet Minecraft (planetminecraft.com) provide comprehensive lists of active Minecraft servers, often with filters for genres, popularity, and gameplay types.
  2. Community Forums and Social Media: Minecraft forums, Reddit communities (like r/Minecraft), and other social media platforms often have sections dedicated to server advertisements and recommendations.
  3. YouTube and Twitch: Many content creators play on specific servers and share their experiences through videos and live streams. These can be great places to learn about fun and engaging servers.
  4. Word of Mouth: Friends or fellow players might have recommendations for servers they’ve enjoyed, so don’t hesitate to ask around.
  5. Joining a Server: Once you’ve found a server you’re interested in, note its IP address or server name. Launch Minecraft, navigate to “Multiplayer,” and then “Add Server” or “Direct Connect.” Enter the server details, and you’re set to join!

Remember, each server has its own rules and community guidelines, so it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with them to ensure a pleasant multiplayer experience.
