@Dogcraft

Hello! Your favourite Head Mod, Summer, here.

I would like to invite everyone to my Demotion Party!

I have been accepted into a Master of Education program. So, I have come to the decision that I will step down as Head Mod. I will be taking a Chat Mod role instead so I can manage my responsibilities and time properly. I simply will not have the time between my full time job and part time studies to devote properly to being a Head Mod for Dogcraft.

I have asked bBrain to demote me Sunday, May 4th, 2025. I have decided to have a party in honour of my demotion. May the Force be with me! (Star Wars themed outfits encouraged!). I want to hang out with staff and players on the server and enjoy the day.

I will be on the server approximately Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 12:00 PM (likely earlier... we'll see).

Thanks for all of your support as I navigated the role of Head Mod. I could not have done it without each and everyone of you. I’m not leaving staff or the server. See you around!

Thanks for everything.

~Summer 🌸

Greeting Cyberdogs! The bunnies have arrived on @Dogcraft and they brought along some of their egg companions with them! You guessed it, Easter has arrived on our server. This year they have brought a variety of games and activities to participate in.

Harvey the Hare is happy to present their creation. They have brought with them a quick action targeting game. If you prefer to try your targeting skills on moving targets play a round of spleef in the arena the bunnies have constructed.

The havoc caused by Harvey was not limited to just their game. In the haste of moving onto Dogcraft, the rabbits have had a few issues. It appears that the normally friendly killer bunny has stolen some treasure, leaving behind a trail of riddles. We are calling on all players to help us solve the riddle to retrieve the lost treasure.

In the commotion of the lost treasure the bunnies did not color their eggs! We can’t have that. The bunnies have provided areas through the event that you can drop off white eggs and receive a coloured egg in return.

This year Easter is packed full of things to do and see. So much so that the rabbits have filled a mountain with it all. We encourage players far and wide to come and explore the bunny burrows on streamtown. Bring a friend, BRING TWO FRIENDS. Come enjoy good times and laugh with us at /phome Easter_2025. This weekend April 13, 2025 at 2:00 PM

This Ring-a-Ding-Ping is brought to you by the The Bunny Bureau of Burrows. Building Burrows in your back garden.

@Dogcraft
There are a few things that had issues and we are working on it.

1) Texture pack for the server is being updated, Rencoins and plushies will not render correctly until we get it updated.

2) The mall is up and you will need to update your shops. We switched plugins for handling shops as the one we where using has been causing issues for the last year. for the next week we have removed the fee for making shops for the next week. There might still be some features needing to be setup.

3) There are a few other odd and end things that have not fully updated and we are working to get them done asap. (nothing that should effect gameplay)

for the geeks of server networking while backing up:

@Dogcraft
❤️ Hello Cyberdogs,♥️

There are Valentine’s Day mini block merch in the mall at the corner of Blue and Magenta. Swing on by to fall in love with the special goodies we've prepared for you! Share the love with a super special "Box O Chocolates" 💝 May your Valentines be fulfilling with love, friendship and oh so many chocolates!💘

🩷 This ring-a-ding ping is brought to you by Heart Candies: "We're dry, chalky and don't taste good at all. But you'll buy us anyway!"🩵

The time is finally here @Dogcraft , the 2025 Valentine's Day event is officially open!
Use /phome TigerNL.Valentine2025 to visit the event ❣️

🌹 Firstly, wander through the event and admire the decorations!

🏃‍♂️ Parkour your way through a swamp and count the frogs!

💐 Rose giving - we have set up an area with some pre-named bouquet heads for you to gift a friend or a loved one! Remember that a small gesture can already mean so much to someone!

🎯 Headhunt: just like the summer event, the headhunt consists of three different levels, one a bit trickier than the other. Each hunt has it's own prize, but it you manage to complete all three you get something extra! Do you have what it takes to take on this challenge?

📸 Finally, take a cute picture in a gorgeous setting to remember the day!

Come for the fun, stay for the memories! Hope to see you there! 💘

This message has been brought to you by the DCT. Have you applied yet?

Hey @Dogcraft ! We'd like to remind everyone that applications for positions on Discord Staff, Server Staff and the Creative Team are all still open!

On the Discord side, we thought we would let you know a bit more about the role you would be playing should you be chosen as a Discord Mod!

Your primary job as a Discord Moderator is to create a welcoming and friendly environment in this Discord. This is mainly done by engaging in conversations in this Discord and ensuring they are kept in line with the community rules.

We also want to specify that you don't need to play on the Dogcraft server to be able to apply for Discord Moderator, while there is a lot of crossover in the team, our primary focus is on the Discord. The team itself is a very friendly bunch (I promise most of them don't bite).

We are looking for people who are friendly and approachable. While past experience in similar roles is useful it is not necessary. The Discord Headmods will provide an overview of all the commands you will need to know and are always happy to answer questions if you have any! Discord Moderators are also welcome in our interdepartmental monthly staff meetings and are able to suggest ideas to benefit future plans for the Discord, Minecraft Server and wider community.

If you are on the fence about applying, we would recommend you do it! (Maybe a bit bias). If you have any questions about the role, both myself and @googly2002 's dm's are always open 😄

https://dogcraft.net/forms/discord-mod-applications-2025

Heya @Dogcraft

Join us on Friday, February 7th, as we open our Valentine's Day event! Get ready to jump into a world of love. Remember, love knows no limits - at Dogcraft, we’re one big family, and together we can make this day special while leaving loneliness behind! So get together with your friends and show them some love on this day!

Stay tuned for more details!

What is the Dogcraft Wiki?
The wiki is an official community project, dedicated to recording and documenting the server, community and its doings. Its hosted on dogcraft.net, at https://dogcraft.net/wiki, and is welcome to editing by all!

If you need help with anything, whether its creating or editing an article, formatting, grammar or any other query, don't be afraid to ask! As @Wiki Admins, Darparniox, XPModder and I are always happy to help. You can always ping us here, or over in the wiki discord. (Invite available down in the community discords channel: https://discord.com/channels/97974850827583488/1093917949758287952/1158022282472607806 )

If you need ideas, the wiki also has a list of ‘wanted’ pages which we think are of importance to properly documenting the current goings-on of Dogcraft. If you have been involved with any of these builds/projects/events, we would especially love to hear from and work with you: https://dogcraft.net/wiki/Dogcraft_Wiki:Wanted_pages (Thank you to Skelleton123 for putting together this list!)

Head over to https://dogcraft.net/wiki/Dogcraft_Wiki:Create_an_Article to get started, we look forward to seeing what you write about!

The event will run from February 1st to March 1st

Wiki Reflections: 2024

Hello @Dogcraft, here comes the second announcement for tonight!

With 2025 starting up, in the month of February, over at the Wiki, we'd like to invite all of you to help remember and record the events of 2024 on Dogcraft! In the next month, we'll be making a push to get the wiki up to date on the last year, and to help that, we're holding a Wiki Reflections event!

To give you a helping hand, creating/editing any wiki article from now until the 1st of March will come with certain perks and count as contributions towards the Reflections event:

• 🏆 Every editor who contributes to the wiki during the event will receive a wiki user page trophy, and 5 unique book heads in-game.

We also want to liven up the wiki with more pictures, so for the first time, we're having a second set of general perks, for any editor who adds a substantial image or images to at least 3 pages:

• 📷 Every editor who adds a substantial image or images to at least 3 pages will receive the Illustrator trophy, and a unique camera head in-game.
• 📸 and the editor with the best use of images will receive the Master Illustrator trophy!

And as before, we'll have our prize categories, with winners going out at the end of the event:

• 🏅 Best Page Update - to the best update to an existing page
• 🏅 Best Event Page and Best Base Page - a double category, to the best new page about a base and the best new page about an event, with 2 winners, each receiving a unique head in-game
• 🏅 Best Historic Page - to the best new page about something on a previous Dogcraft world, so anything before Survival 6, receiving an unique head in-game

The winners for these categories will also receive an additional trophy!
