Temp server that should be usable during the downtime: sur6andahalf.dogcraft.net

@everyone starting around September 15, 2026 at 3:00 PM last for a while alot of the services we have will be down. websites, public servers and patreons servers. We are moving around alot of the servers and updating a lot of the backend services in prep for the next survival season and some of the updates are long over due. We will look to see if we can setup a temp world that can not be effect by this outage. This message wil be edited to attach an server ip if we can.

@everyone We will be doing some network and server updates for the next couple of days. There could be some small connection drops or partial server outages while we do this. There will be some large outages as at some point (Other services have to update first) we have to do database server updates which will put a pause on everything. We will make sure to put a ping here before any large outage when we can.

Greetings @Dogcraft!

As we work away in the background on testing and pioneering for Sur7 the time has come to choose the names of our two new worlds! Each world’s name is being chosen from a separate list of breeds. One world will be decided by a vote amongst by all of you! The other will be chosen by the staff and pioneers testing Sur7! Shortly after this post, a poll will go live and it’s your time to make a choice! But don’t fret if your choice isn’t a winner, there’s always next time! The poll will run for a week, so until then let the voting begin!

Community effort for World Downloads
To better coordinate world downloads, the Discord folks have created the #world-downloads channel, just for this! Pop in there if you want to help out with downloading as much of Survival 6 as we can get. You can see what needs to be downloads still, or if you just want to let us know that you've got something already. The wiki also has a list of ‘wanted’ downloads which we think are of importance to properly saving and documenting Survival 6. 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/World_Downloads#wanted-downloads

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.

For page creation, 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 until the start of Survival 7.

Reflections: Survival 6

Hello @Dogcraft!

With Survival 6 coming to an end, over at the Wiki, we'd like to invite all of you to help remember and record the builds and events of this world on Dogcraft! Until the launch of Survival 7, we'll be making a push to collect as many World Downloads as possible and to get the wiki up to date on everything Survival 6. To help that, we're holding a Reflections event!

We want your World Downloads!
We want em! All your stuff on Survival 6, download it and upload it! The video tutorial will teach you how if your not sure.

• 📥 Any Cyberdog who submits at least one substantial world download during the event will receive a special “Survival 6 World Downloader” trophy and a globe head in-game!
• 🌐 The 3 Cyberdogs who submit the most substantial world download(s) will receive the “Master Downloader” trophy! (This is not necessarily the people with the highest number of downloads. It may be a lot of high quality downloads, but a single, huge high quality download can also qualify.)

The sands (and tense) of time come again!
It’s now time to update Survival 6 articles to make them past tense.

• ⏳ Any Cyberdog who updates the verb tenses on at least three Survival 6 articles to be in the past tense will receive the “Tense Editor” trophy and a clock head in-game!

Hey everyone!
Do you know Tunnel Rats, the pvp game made by Xisuma?
Did you know a team of dogcrafters has been participating in charity events, playing tunnel rats against teams from other hermits' servers?
Did you know we also have our own adaptation of this game on dogcraft?

Im hosting the first Dogcraft Tunnel Rats tournament!

📆 When: Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM
🗺️ Where: Tunnel Rats in Canine Kingdom: Entrance at the big rat, behind the large crane near the phome

If you want to participate react to this message with: 🐀

Spectators are of course also welcome!

I will use the reactions on this announcement to guage interest and get a rough idea of how many teams we will have, so while this is not mandatory for participation, please add the reaction if you for sure want to participate.

🐭 Need a refresher what Tunnel Rats is?
Tunnel Rats is a team based pvp game created by Xisuma where two teams are placed on opposite ends of a large area of blocks. Each team has one bed where participants set their spawn. During the game teams dig through the blocks towards each other to gather resources and fight. The goal of the game is to eliminate the opposing team by breaking their bed and killing them.
Throughout the game resources like hay bale, coal, iron and diamond ore are available in layers of differnt stone types, getting denser towards the center.

📢 Update on the State of Dogcraft!

We're now opening applications for Sur7 beta testing and new Dogcraft discord, new Pioneer rank opportunities!

We've finished a lot of the groundwork for testing Sur7! We've got a bunch of new plugins all set up to work together for a smoother, more cohesive playing experience across two worlds. New website features to accommodate those new features as well. Some other cool projects that hopefully can all be finished in time.

A VERY HUGE AND AWESOME DOGCRAFT ANNOUNCEMENT!

@everyone

Greetings Cyberdogs from all over the world!

I’m reaching out today with some important news about the future of our beloved Dogcraft server.

Starting soon in 2026, I will officially be handing over the reins of Dogcraft to Ironboundred, who will become the owner, provider, and manager of the server moving forward.

When I first started this server over a decade ago, I never could have imagined what it would become: a living, thriving, independent community, and a shining example of what a public Minecraft server can be.

What began as a place for a handful of viewers from my small YouTube channel to play together has grown into something far greater than I ever expected. With the help of Iron and so many others over the years, Dogcraft has become much more than just a fan server, and I've been so proud to watch it grow as such.

At the same time, I’ve come to recognise that the size and scope of the server now requires more time, care, and attention than I’m realistically able to provide, especially if it’s going to continue growing and thriving in the years ahead.

Dogcraft is now far more than simply “Rendog’s fan server,” and I believe it’s time to place it fully in the hands of those best positioned to guide it forward.

I can think of no one more deserving than Iron. He has been the backbone of this server for nearly its entire life. Without his dedication, care, and commitment to this community, Dogcraft would not be what it is today. With Iron at the helm, I have complete confidence in your beloved Dogcraft server becoming even more awesome than it already is!

This hasn’t been an easy decision, and I won’t pretend otherwise, but I truly believe it’s the right one for the future of both the Dogcraft and Rendog brands.

I also want to reassure everyone that, from a player’s perspective, very little will change day to day. Dogcraft will remain the same welcoming, community-focused server it has always been, and moderation will continue in the same spirit and style as before.

The only big change for the player base will be a migration to a shiny new Dogcraft Discord server. This will become the new hub of the DC community with everything you'll ever need to survive and thrive, so make sure you join the new Dogcraft Discord server when it's ready - stay tuned here on the current Dogcraft Discord server for more information to come.

I am also delighted to announce that Survival 7 will open on your new Dogcraft server within the next few months, and that Sur 7 will launch in the latest Minecraft version available! It's the perfect time to become a part of the new era of Dogcraft from day 1, so make sure you join the new Discord server for further Sur 7 announcements!

If you have any questions at all about this, head over to #dogcraft-update-questions❗ and ask away.

It has been a huge honor for me personally to watch this community grow and thrive since it's humble beginnings, and I simply cannot wait to watch you all take Dogcraft.net into it's bright and wonderful future!

Things should be back up and running. hopefully that was the only issue that was causing the crashes. We are still monitoring and watching from the shadows 😂

@Dogcraft We have been aware of the recent crashes and have been monitoring them closely. After sending in the bloodhounds to follow the scent, we have tracked the culprit down to a system-level issue. Some public server services may be unavailable for a short time while we make the needed fixes.

With that we have a winner! It's the Goat! Thank you all for voting! Please be sure to check your seats for personal items and don't forget to visit the gift shop! Have a safe drive home folks!
