Announcements

@everyone
Hey Cyberdogs!

Your favourite Head Mods here with the announcement you have long awaited for!!

We are here to tell you that Survival 5 is going down on Dec. 9, 2023
This week will be your last time to get your downloads, screenshots and final builds completed… Or, blow them up if you want! Just be sure to wait until after Monday/Tuesday if you’re planning a nuclear option (as that’s when the final Server backups will be taken!)

On Dec. 16, 2023 Survival 6 will open to the general public.

During Dec 9-16 the Public server, Patreon server, website, and wiki will be down.

Get your Christmas skins ready, because we will also be having a smaller than usual Christmas event in the new world, where you can give gifts to your friends.

You all voted and the new world names are in! We hope you will have fun building, mining, crafting, and exploring on Retriever and Sheltie!!!

Please remember Survival 6 will also bring changes to the Server rules. One of the biggest changes will be the minimum age requirement. You must be 18 or older to play on Dogcraft.

We will be posting more announcements in the coming days and weeks with more information that you will need to know.

This ring-ding-a-ping is brought to you by Santa’s Workshop, where childhood toys come to life!

📸 Hey @Dogcraft ! To help make the wait for Survival 6 a bit easier, we are releasing what will be the final episode of the CDNN for this season! Join us one last time as we go over all the developments that have occurred in the last 2 months, before we pack up and journey to a new world! 🗺️

🎞️ We want to take one last opportunity to say thank you for the support the community has shown the CDNN since it returned at the start of the year, to everyone that has contributed to the CDNN this last year we all really appreciate you! Hopefully there will be many more CDNN episodes to come in Survival 6! ❤️

Without further ado, enjoy this months episode! https://youtu.be/qeVlUr15uBQ

@Dogcraft
Greetings Cyberdogs,

As you know we have announced that Sur6 will be here by now and for that we are sorry. We had hoped that it would be done and ready by the previous dates we gave. Also that there will be some changes coming with the new age requirement.

Due to this, it has required more time in testing and making sure that Sur6 is a safe and fun place to play.

We ask that you please be patient with us while we are testing and making sure that everything is working properly and will be an easy transition for the players.

We would like you to know, while the waiting is tough, we believe the waiting will be worth it! We are working to make the new experience super smooth and easy!

We have some really great things coming with Sur6 and we hope you will enjoy them too!

Here's a sneak peek!

@Dogcraft
🐾 Greetings Cyberdogs!!🐾

Survival 6 has been a much anticipated event for both players and staff. Unfortunately, the adoption process for our new dogs has been going a bit slower than initially thought. It appears as if the adoption of our new servers will not occur on or before Oct 15th. Please keep an eye on the announcement channel for more updates!

Since we are going to be adopting some new doggos we are stuck at a crossroads. We need your help to narrow down our list of dog breeds. We are calling on all cyberdogs to let us know which of these breeds you want to see as our Sur6 dogs. Polls will only be open for a short time, get those responses in immediately for them to count! Once you’ve done that, why not let us know why! Share a story or even a picture of those four legged companions that inspired your choice. Everyone loves to see a good dog photo.

https://forms.gle/oX4H7THt1hmtWzRT8

All prospective survival 6 players should keep an eye on announcements. There is a possibility that the admin will require a select few cyberdogs for testing purposes.

@Dogcraft Hey all 🙂

Today we're opening up applications for new [Staff Members](https://dogcraft.net/wiki/Staff_Team) on both the Discord and Minecraft server. You can apply for one, or both of the following roles:

* Discord Mod - on the Discord Server. You'll work to keep conversations on our Discord safe and fun for all members of the community.
* Server ChatMod - on the Dogcraft Server. You'll work in-game to help players find their feet on the server, ensuring chat is kept clean and happy, with a route to progressing on to become a full Moderator.

Volunteering as a staff member is a great way to gain some great hands-on experience working in a team. You'll pick up valuable communication and teamworking skills working with an awesome group of players. You must be 18 years or older to apply for staff, and we ask that staff members are active participants in our community, motivated and committed to making sure every player they interact with logs out for the day with a smile on their face!

We're at the end of the season, so traffic on our server and Discord is quite low at the minute. Accordingly, our plan is to keep applications open over the next month or so and review them in early November. In other words, if you apply, don't expect to hear back immediately -- but we really appreciate your interest and patience as we transition to Survival 6!

[Click here to fill in the application form](https://forms.gle/2VC3kKwrVAKSnQv76)

Thank you!

Hi everyone :)
@xpmodder has been appointed as a fourth Wiki Admin. That's all!

@Dogcraft

Sur 5 is now an endangered species, and will be going extinct in the coming weeks. We're breaking into the seed vault to ensure its survival in perpetuity (blended with your single player world downloads).

🌱 Akita: 1906045715084035152
🌱 Corgi: -2796282483199565963
🌱 Labrador: -4820251604723536655
🌱 Shepherd: 2061879647305842158

We encourage you to use this information with your world download to blend your builds into their natural environment in single player. Don't forget that all Dogcraft rules remain in effect: with great power comes great responsibility. Lets not ruin it for the next player.

@Dogcraft
Greeting Cyberdogs!!

This announcement is to give you all a small update! As many of you know, Rendog posted here saying that Sur 6 (next survival world) is coming with a big change. In order to play on the server you will have to be 18 years of age or older.

We have been working hard getting Sur 6 ready! We don’t have a time and date set in stone. However, we are looking to move to Sur 6 sometime between October 1 - 15th, 2023. As we get closer, we will know more and be able to set a date.

Here is what we know:
1. Some rules will be changing (mainly the minimum age now being 18+) but a few others too. The new set of rules will be posted before Sur 6 launches.
2. Sur 6 comes with 1.20! Yay! Who’s excited for Cherry trees and Sniffers?!!?
3. We are planning for 2 worlds again! (Wonder what dog breed names will be used?!?!)
These worlds will function the same as they do now (Inventories, Chat etc.). Each world will have its own spawn! The DCT has been working around the clock to bring them to life, so please be sure to thank them for their hard work!

4. You will be able to make downloads of your base before we close Sur 5. More information will be posted soon about how to do this and when!

5. The Nether will be open on day one so the adventurers can get going to far distance lands.

6. The End will remain closed for the start of the world. We have to wake the dragon, and that can take some time. It must be done in a slow and extremely careful manner. So please be patient about going to the End. We will post more information about the End opening once we have a date set for you.

Hey Cyberdogs

Please note a new scam is being distributed among Minecraft users.

This comes in the form of a phishing email asking you to migrate your Minecraft account. The email looks like it's from Mojang Studios, but the email is from (noreply@Mojang.Team) instead of the official @mojang.com.

Though the message contains links to the Official Minecraft Website, the "Migrate Now" button will take you to a phishing site.

Stay safe 🙂

@Dogcraft IMPORTANT DOGCRAFT.NET NEW SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to increasing International safety, legal and logistical concerns, I have decided that from next Season onwards, Dogcraft.net will be open to 18+ year old players only.

Our server will still maintain its core ethos of FAMILY FRIENDLY FIRST, with an emphasis on it being a safe place for players to enjoy a quiet Minecraft life within our diverse and ever expanding Community.

I am still figuring out how we will manage this age restriction, and will update you accordingly as soon as we have a finalised system in place.

The start date of the next Season (1.20 update) is not confirmed, and I will let you know as soon as we have decided on a date in the future.

Our Discord server will remain open to all Rendog and Dogcraft fans 13+ years old and over.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision for me to make, and I am so very sorry to have to say good bye to so many of you on the Dogcraft server. Please rest assured however, that this important decision has been made with safety for my Community and fans as a priority.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a SPECIAL THANK YOU to all of our Under 18 players who have made our server their home over these past years. I hope you come away from Dogcraft with many good times and special memories, and we would all be DELIGHTED to see you back on the server again when you turn 18, in however many years that may be!

RD
