}}The '''Dogcraft Server''', officially known as the '''Official Cyberdog Server''' is a free public Minecraft server dedicated to YouTuber [[ReNDoG]] and the counterpart to the [[Dogcraft.net]] website. It was first opened to the public on the 14th of November 2015 and since then has cultivated an active community of players and fans. Though Dogcraft has offered a number of experiences from [[Minigames]] to a [[Creative]] plot-world, the server is most well known for its Survival worlds, of which the server is currently on [[Survival 4| it's fourth]].

The server can currently be joined the using IP-address ''server.dogcraft.net''. It can be joined with version 1.16.1.

==Features==
''See also: [[About the Server]]''

Dogcraft offers a wide range of features for players to enjoy, across numerous server worlds - ranging from an economy, to PvP, to a variant on the popular Ultra-Hardcore game mode. Above this, however, the server is supported by a strong community of players who enjoy the server and [[List of Staff Members|staff members]] to moderate it.

===Worlds===
The Dogcraft server is split into a number of different [[worlds]] which players can join, each of which offers a unique gameplay experience. They are connected via the [[Server Hub|server hub]].

=====Survival 4=====
[[Survival 4]] is the fourth Survival world on the Dogcraft server, succeeding both [[Survival|Survival 1]], [[Survival 2]] and [[Survival 3]]. The world marked the server's update to Minecraft 1.15: ''Buzzy Bees''. The world is split into two interlinked "sub worlds"; [[Husky]] and [[Beagle]], which share the same inventory but have different seeds and builds.

=====Creative=====
[[Creative]] is the oldest running world on the Dogcraft server currently and has gone through several iterations. The world is a creative plot-world, in which players can claim a plot of land to build and experiment on.

=====Nitro Ultra Hardcore=====
[[Nitro UHC]] is one of two [[Minigames|minigames]] available on the Dogcraft server. In ''Nitro'', players are pitted against each other in a battle royale, gathering resources such as iron and diamonds by killing mobs to fight it out. After 20 minutes, a deathmatch will begin to determine the winner.

=====Hide N' Seek=====
[[Hide N' Seek]] is the second minigame available on the Dogcraft Server. It pits a group of "seekers" against a group of "hiders" who hide in blocks in an environment. The seekers must find the hiders and kill them to win the game, before the time runs out.

===Staff, Ranks & Rules===

In order to play properly on the server, players must first [[Guide to Linking|link their account]] to be able to break blocks and use many commands, granting them the Cyberdog rank. Above this rank, there are tags for [http://patreon.com/rendog Patreons], [[Dogcraft.net#Features|Site VIPs]] and Pioneers (players who helped test the server).

Staff members are responsible for upholding the server's [[Cyberdog Nation Rules|rules]] and helping out players by answering questions. On the server, Chat Moderators and Moderators carry out this function, assisted by monthly appointed helpers, who can help players with account linking.

DCD can also be transferred between players through the usage of the ''/pay'' command and balances can be checked through ''/bal''.

==History==

''See Also: [[Dogcraft.net#History|Dogcraft.net § History]]''

For many years since the founding of the Dogcraft website, a fan server was heavily requested by players so that Cyberdogs could play together and this led to numerous [[Unofficial Dogcraft Servers]] being created which Cyberdogs played on together.

Finally, in the fall of 2015, an Official Dogcraft Server would be officially announced by [[ReNDoG]] and his staff. Plans were laid out that a full server would be created for players to enjoy. The server launched into a testing phase on the 28th of September, 2015 with [[Survival|Survival 1]], [[Amplified]], [[MCMMO]], [[Creative]] and [[Skyblock]] [[Worlds|worlds]] for testers to play on, as well as a [[Server Hub]] connecting them based on ReNDoG's Mole City in his survival world.

During the testing phase, only lucky players who were selected on the forums to be [[Ranks#Pioneer|pioneers]] were able to play on the server and test out its features. The server would officially launch to the public on the 14th of November 2015 marking the beginnings of great expansion for the community.
==="Survival 1" Era===
''See Also: [[Spawn_(Survival_1)#City_History|Spawn (Survival 1) § City History]]''[[File:Survival 1 Spawn Overhead.png|thumb|[[Spawn City]] in the original [[Survival 1]] world.|alt=|link=]]The Dogcraft Minecraft Server quickly became the main attraction of the community almost instantly. A new forum area on the website was set up for server-based discussion and before the rise in popularity of discord came about, with the website serving as the central place to discuss the server. Many early builds on the server were coordinated and planned on the website throughout the first few years of the server, including large projects such as the [[Survival Railway Network (Survival 1)|Survival Railway Network]] and building projects in [[Spawn (Survival 1)|spawn]].

Originally launching on ''1.8'', the server's main Survival world lacked an End Dimension before it was launched in a large-scale public [[Events|event]] by ReNDoG when the server updated to ''Minecraft 1.9''. The server grew to be predominately a building server, attracting builders who would construct immense builds on the server. Just like the website, the server is heavily moderated. A strict list of [[Rules|rules]] were setup for the server initially and the high level of moderation continued to curate a good community. As the server developed, it became quickly clear that the [[Survival]] world would become the main focus for players as it boasted the largest active player count, though other worlds such as [[MCMMO]] saw some activity.

As most projects relied on the forums for coordination, communication between players was slow, leading to development relying heavily on in-game chat. Despite this, the server boasted some impressive feats furthering its popularity including the aforementioned railway network as well as large community cities such as that of [[Lackria]]. ReNDoG would make occasional visits to the world, and a special town known as [[Stream Town]] was set up which he streamed from weekly for a brief period of time.
