A VERY HUGE AND AWESOME DOGCRAFT ANNOUNCEMENT!

@everyone

Greetings Cyberdogs from all over the world!

I’m reaching out today with some important news about the future of our beloved Dogcraft server.

Starting soon in 2026, I will officially be handing over the reins of Dogcraft to Ironboundred, who will become the owner, provider, and manager of the server moving forward.

When I first started this server over a decade ago, I never could have imagined what it would become: a living, thriving, independent community, and a shining example of what a public Minecraft server can be.

What began as a place for a handful of viewers from my small YouTube channel to play together has grown into something far greater than I ever expected. With the help of Iron and so many others over the years, Dogcraft has become much more than just a fan server, and I've been so proud to watch it grow as such.

At the same time, I’ve come to recognise that the size and scope of the server now requires more time, care, and attention than I’m realistically able to provide, especially if it’s going to continue growing and thriving in the years ahead.

Dogcraft is now far more than simply “Rendog’s fan server,” and I believe it’s time to place it fully in the hands of those best positioned to guide it forward.

I can think of no one more deserving than Iron. He has been the backbone of this server for nearly its entire life. Without his dedication, care, and commitment to this community, Dogcraft would not be what it is today. With Iron at the helm, I have complete confidence in your beloved Dogcraft server becoming even more awesome than it already is!

This hasn’t been an easy decision, and I won’t pretend otherwise, but I truly believe it’s the right one for the future of both the Dogcraft and Rendog brands.

I also want to reassure everyone that, from a player’s perspective, very little will change day to day. Dogcraft will remain the same welcoming, community-focused server it has always been, and moderation will continue in the same spirit and style as before.

The only big change for the player base will be a migration to a shiny new Dogcraft Discord server. This will become the new hub of the DC community with everything you'll ever need to survive and thrive, so make sure you join the new Dogcraft Discord server when it's ready - stay tuned here on the current Dogcraft Discord server for more information to come.

I am also delighted to announce that Survival 7 will open on your new Dogcraft server within the next few months, and that Sur 7 will launch in the latest Minecraft version available! It's the perfect time to become a part of the new era of Dogcraft from day 1, so make sure you join the new Discord server for further Sur 7 announcements!

If you have any questions at all about this, head over to #dogcraft-update-questions❗ and ask away.

It has been a huge honor for me personally to watch this community grow and thrive since it's humble beginnings, and I simply cannot wait to watch you all take Dogcraft.net into it's bright and wonderful future!

Things should be back up and running. hopefully that was the only issue that was causing the crashes. We are still monitoring and watching from the shadows 😂

@Dogcraft We have been aware of the recent crashes and have been monitoring them closely. After sending in the bloodhounds to follow the scent, we have tracked the culprit down to a system-level issue. Some public server services may be unavailable for a short time while we make the needed fixes.

With that we have a winner! It's the Goat! Thank you all for voting! Please be sure to check your seats for personal items and don't forget to visit the gift shop! Have a safe drive home folks!

Alright Alright Alright @Dogcraft! Without further ado it's time for the animal showdown! Below will be a poll, we'll pit your picks against each other and find out who's coming out on top! Thanks to all who voted in my little game!

@Dogcraft , flowers are blooming, animals are waking up from hibernations! The launch of spring is upon us. This weekend the DCT presents to you Easter 2026! The rabbits and moles have been hard at work digging out the crystal caves for you to enjoy. Come by yourself or with your friends. We have games to play and a head hunt to complete. Welcome to our Easter event. Warp name for this event is /warp Easter_2026

Hey @Dogcraft!

Did you think you were safe? Well not anymore! I've been dragged kicking and screaming out of Headmod retirement and this senior citizen hasn't had his prune juice! You have been warned! 😈

Anyway, mobs. Ya know, the things with the faces? I wanna know if two mobs fought who would win. I'll put two polls below shortly. Your job is to choose player one and player two! After a week, we'll put 'em in the ring (a third poll) and see who wins!

This Ring-A-Ding Ping was brought to you by The Alcatraz Retirement Home: "We'll keep your loved ones safe and well- wait where is he goi- Hey! Get back here!"

Hey @Dogcraft !
Have you watched Tangos Decked Out and Decked Out 2 videos or another hermit playing those games?
Have you ever wished you could play a game like that on Dogcraft?
🎉 Well then this is the announcement for you! 🎉

Introducing Dogged Out!

One and a half years in the making, Its_Nars, viBEEng and XPModder are presenting their Decked Out inspired game!
🎴 Dogged Out is a deck building dungeon crawler game built in minecraft on Dogcraft!
🎞️ To play the game, please read the wiki page or watch our How To Play video, then head over to /phome Canine_Kingdom on sheltie and to the game entrance!

🗓️ When you read this announcement, the game is now OPEN to the public!

Please note that we only have one dungeon and each run includes a 5 minute reset period 💤 , so the game may not immediately be available to play when you go there.
If other people are also waiting to play, please wait until it is your turn to play.
Maybe you can play another minigame in Canine Kingdom while you wait 🙂

❓ If you have any issues with or questions about the game, feel free to reach out to Its_Nars, viBEEng or XPModder.
🔈 Immediately after this announcement we will also be in one of the voice chats in the main Dogcraft discord.

For the best experience we recommend you do not watch someone elses dungeon run before you have done a few runs yourself. Not knowing the layout, secrets and traps of the dungeon at the beginning is part of the fun, so resist the urge to watch someone else and experience it yourself first!

⭐ Special Thanks go to our playtester Baran_Wulf, H_Di_Chemici, strawberrysham, SummerFlower1234 and Xambaka who have through 150 runs found bugs and given us valuable feedback and suggestions to get the game ready for all of you!

INTRODUCING THE SPAWN CITY BUILD COMPETITION

Hey @Dogcraft ! We are kicking off 2026 with another build competition. Over the course of Survival 6, Retriever Spawn City has grown into one of the best spawn areas Dogcraft has ever had, but there are still more areas needing built on! 🎉

We would love to see Spawn City get to a finished state by the end of the season and we would love as many Cyberdogs as possible to contribute! You can choose to build a small house or a fun aesthetic shop, or maybe an exciting service or facility for players.
