@Dogcraft🛠️ Phase 1 Datacenter Maintenance [ COMPLETE ✅ ] All Systems Nominal
Phase 2 Datacenter Maintenance
We will start phase 2, however we do not think it will take as long as phase 1 did. Perhaps only 2-3hrs.
🕒 Maintenance Start: September 14, 2024 at 8:00 PM
@everyone
🛠️ Phase 1 Datacenter Maintenance – Hold Onto Your Redstone!
Greetings Cyberdogs! 🐾
Just a heads-up that today at 3PM CST, we'll be embarking on the thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime adventure known as Phase 1 Datacenter Maintenance! 😎 What does that mean? Well, we’ll be doing all the glorious techy stuff: upgrading firmware on the routers and switches, boosting our backhaul trunks, and the pièce de résistance—rewiring cables and vacuuming like our lives depend on it. Truly, IT glamour at its finest! 💻✨
During this heroic quest, ALL of Dogcraft will be down for a few hours. Yes, we know—it’s tragic 😢, but also kind of exciting, right? (No? Just us? 😅).
I’ll do my best to keep the temp server 🖥️ running, but be warned—it too may take an unplanned nap 💤 while we’re downing the whole network for some of the more “exciting” parts of this maintenance.
Hang tight, stretch those Minecraft building fingers 🏗️, and maybe explore the mysterious realm of sunlight 🌞 while we work our magic. We’ll update you once Phase 1 is complete and Dogcraft is back online and better than ever! 🚀
Thanks for your patience and support. See you on the other side! 🙌
– Your humble server admins @ironboundred @bbrain , bravely battling cables and switches 🧰👨💻
🕒 Maintenance Start: September 13, 2024 at 8:00 PM
@everyone
@everyone All services should be back online if you find any issues please let a staff member know. The worlds where not harmed and for the most part should not effect anything in game.
Hey
@Dogcraft!
As most of you will know,
@william278 stepped back as a community leader and staff member last week. Will's contributions to this community over the past 8 years have been so impactful that we felt we couldn't let him go without a proper thank you! So with that in mind, we brought together over 40 Cyberdogs, both past and present, to make a video going through all our favourite memories with Will over the years!
A huge thank you to everyone that contributed and helped make this video possible!
Thanks so much for everything Will, we hope you all enjoy the video!

Starting to get things online please do not flood trying to join you will not get on and will slow down our ability to watch for errors. Still pulling servers up and verifying data on them.
No ETA still but should be soon 🤞
website status will be a little later due to time zones and people needing sleep.
@everyone
@Dogcraft
For fun, while we wait for the main servers to come back online. We've setup a little fun server for you.
Server: fun.docraft.net fun.dogcraft.net version 1.21.1
There is no core protect, There are no claims, there are no plugins, just vanilla Minecraft and fun. Have at it.
If you lose stuff, you lose it. Play at your own risk.
UPDATE
Our main database/webserver lost power and on reboot it serverly corupted the mysql database. We have a backup and also finished backing up the current state.
We are in the middle of verifying data now. so far we know accounts are good but we are still checking the rest.
No worlds are effected your builds are fine, only a few tables seem to listed as corrupted.
Still no ETA working as fast as we can and making sure minimal loss. @everyone
ps: i am out of redbull 😭
@Dogcraft
Experiencing technical difficulties, Iron is working the problem, will update when fixed!
Brought to you from the at least the internet works now dept.
Hi @everyone,
I'm just writing to let everyone know that as of today I am standing down as Discord Head Mod & Wiki Admin here on Dogcraft. My life has gotten busier, I've started a new job, and it has pained me to admit it, but I sadly have too little time for my role here. I love this community - and having grown up on here, I consider it my home. Though I'm stepping down as a member of the staff team, I'll continue to be around here and there, so don't be afraid to say "hello!"
In my place, I am pleased to announce @montenator will be replacing me as Discord Head Mod, working alongside my good friend @googly2002. Monty is a dedicated member of our community, a wonderful ambassador for our staff team, and has an excellent Scottish accent - I've loved working & playing with him over a number of years. Both myself and Ren couldn't be more confident in his success, and I hope everyone joins me in welcoming him to his new role.
Dogcraft has a long future ahead of it, and I'm proud to have been able to both walk with and help shape part of it. This community's longevity and standing is rare. There are no other Hermit communities that operate free Minecraft servers. But Dogcraft persists, because of the unique culture we have cultivated thanks to Ren's strange and warm personality that drew many of us here. There's many people I'd love to give a shoutout to - from people I've played with, to the awesome dedicated staff team, to Ren - but I'll keep things nice and brief and wrap that up with a few "thank yous!" and a million more "cool beans!"

@Dogcraft
Network should be working, we still have a bug in the Gateway firmware, Our ATT Tech is working the issue with his higher ups, and this is kind of going pretty high up at this point we have the highest level of business support you can get. So we are monitoring it over the day tomorrow to see if it keeps acting up. We did upgrade the line to 2gig service now. whooo
Will keep y'all updated.
@Dogcraft ATT Tech is going to be working on the internet, network could go down, will update when it's done!
@Dogcraft
We are aware of the network issue (yet again) and I have to apologize for it. I promise we'll get through this! I know you guys like to know what’s going on, and as it turns out, it’s no fault of our own this time!
We received a new ATT Gateway, its good stuff as I spoke about before, however the latest firmware they have on it, seems to have a bug that after so long, it will go to sleep and stop routing traffic and seems to only be affecting those with static IPs. Our tech is awesome, super cool, very friendly and transparent. He has since gone back to their group of techs and as far as I know right now, they plan to come out Tuesday and update the firmware on the ATT Gateway for us. Anyways, I’ll keep y’all updated. And for now, the only course of action I have, is to reboot the gateway when it cuts traffic.
This network update is courtesy of the highly agitated datacenter bunny. The Network Bunny is hopping mad!

Greetings @Dogcraft ! Summer is coming to end so the staff have decided to take one last chance to enjoy the sun and to touch some sand. This summer on streamtown come to the beach with us as you get a rare chance to see the staff letting their hair down while enjoying some sun and water.
While you enjoy that fresh ocean breeze, take a ride on our infinity coaster or take a look at our ferris wheel out on the pier. Oh sorry, the salt water has rusted it solid. There is plenty to do and see while you are by the beach. Give our headhunt a try, now with three different difficulties.
If building is more your speed we have a build competition as well at this event, but be quick! Like when you are on vacation time runs out fast. Builders will only have 10 days to complete their creations. So come over to streamtown August 17, 2024 at 4:00 PM and join staff while we take a much needed vacation at /phome kfr4014.Summer_vacation
This ring-a-ding ping has been brought to you by the Hermit-crab crab cracker, now made with fresh chicken.
Good Day
@Dogcraft . Welcome to the Summer 2024 Sand Castle Build competition. The staff have taken a small vacation to the beach this year. No beach trip is complete without having a sand castle.
For this build competition you are tasked with building a sand structure. This can be whatever your heart desires. There is no specific item or structure you need to construct. It can be as tame as your average hole in sand or as whimsical as a unicorn swimming in the waves. Your only requirement is to use items you would normally find while on the beach. Beach vacations come and go rather quickly so players will have just 10 days to complete their builds. However, take note, there will be a twist! The rules for the build competition are listed below.
- Read all the rules
- Players have 10 days to complete their creation, building ends on August 27th.
- Players can not use any Mods or AI to assist in building their creation.
- All material must be collected by the player or team either in survival or purchasing items in the mall
- All builds must be PG-13
- You must remain inside the square you are given
- This can be a solo build or a team build
- Team builds should be limited to two players.
- Prizes will be per build not per player
- There is no height or depth limit.
- Judges have final say.
- Most important rule: Have fun. This is a fun, friendly competition. Enjoy yourselves.
- Sign up here https://forms.gle/TUqDPVcby5kvKdix9
All participants will receive a map art from this summer’s event. The winner of the build battle will receive a special map art for the event and 10 mini-blocks of their choice from the event itself. Second place will receive 5 mini-blocks from the event and third place will receive 2 mini-blocks. *mini-blocks will not include your own player head.
