	A 1.8 world was likely created in the months after the release of The Bountiful Update in September 2014. The server maintained a similar playerbase to the 1.7 iteration, averaging around 10 players online. It had a small spawn area, featuring paths and rustic builds, and a nether portal build by {{player\|Chibikun}}. Notable is the casino in the area, ~~which would not be possible under present day Dogcraft rules. The~~ server had few plugins.

'''Unofficial servers''' are the spiritual predecessors to the current day [[Dogcraft Server]]. Although much is unknown about the unofficial servers, some details have been recollected.

	The unofficial servers were created and used by members of the [[Dogcraft.net]] website, a fan community forum focused on [[ReNDoG]]. It is presumed that as the small community grew closer, interest in a minecraft server eventuated. The exact opening date and the minecraft version of the first unofficial server is unknown - they potentially span back to late 2012 shortly after dogcraft.net was founded, a time when the current minecraft version was 1.3. However, it is more likely that they began on a later version, in a time when Dogcraft was more established as a community. Each server iteration was owned by dogcraft member {{player\|SGHUK}}, who was also admin of the server, and at points accompanied by {{player\|Mattigins}}. ReNDoG did not directly endorse the server, and it is unknown whether he was fully aware of it. The servers had small, tight-knit communities. This was predominantly because of the whitelisting process for the server on Dogcraft.net, and the lower popularity of ReNDoG at the time, who had around 30-100 thousand subscribers during the period. The server convention was to perform a world reset for each new minecraft version. Some plugins, such as the popular multiplayer plugin 'Essentials' were present.

	The earliest confirmed unofficial world was set in 1.6: The Horse Update. Very little is known about this world. However, it has been said that there was no large spawn area, but a significant mall area. The mall featured a fountain on one side, and a large town hall-like building on the other. This area also contained a running ReNDoG NPC with a "flailing sword". Frequently, this confused new ~~player~~ who believed to be the real Ren, especially those unfamiliar with multiplayer plugins.
