1.20.5 Protocol Support

Livecraft will be having a protocol update to 1.20.5. This will allow Minecraft 1.20.5 clients to connect, but the server will still be running Minecraft 1.20.4 until we are able to update all of our plugins & resources. This will be powered by ViaVersion.

Geyser compatibility will be updated along with this process, so Bedrock clients will be able to connect as well. Please note that this does not mean we will be updating to support Minecraft 1.20.5 features!

We support Bedrock!

Through the use of a set of plugins called Geyser & Floodgate, we allow bedrock players to join & if both Bedrock & Java copies are owned, use their linked Java account on our server to play as the same user! Try it out!

To join from Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox, you’ll need to add “Livecraft9255” to your friends list. Once you do this, you’ll be able to join Livecraft by joining a cross platform friend’s world.

Beta 1.7.3 Server now live!

I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately for old Minecraft and have had performance issues on other servers, so I decided to start my own Beta server! To join, you’ll need to use a special launcher or mod to fix online mode for older versions. For details, check out our beta server information page. I’ve included instructions on how to play as well as some information about the server.

Enjoy!

mcMMO Retro Mode

I’ve disabled “retro mode” within mcMMO, which will visually change how levelling works. It’s a cosmetic change, but this will cause levelling to “feel” slower. Here’s an exerpt from the mcMMO config file:

# Turning this on will scale mcMMO around 1-1000 with default scaling factor
# Everything in your config related to skill level requirements, skill level bonuses, etc. will be multiplied by 10 when this mode is on
# This change is purely cosmetic, it retains the old feel of mcMMO where you could level up thousands of times
RetroMode:
    Enabled: false

If this proves to be unpopular, we can revert this change very easily.
Update: this doesn’t change our levels, so I am reverting lol

What’s New: Week 517

Saw my old “What’s New” weekly-ish posts and decided to see how many weeks it’s been since then. 517 weeks! We’re old.

I’m introducing a new page which will be coming soon, with the goal of documenting available commands, what they do, and who has access to them. This will include Livecraft-specific features, such as the poke command.

Update: I’ve launched those pages! They can be accessed by expanding the About category, or by clicking one of the links below:
