About KNCraft
Heavily modded survival with dynamic weather, temperature, difficult dimensions, and a Wither Storm threat that keeps moving even while players are offline.
What makes the server different
KNCraft is a heavily modded Minecraft survival server built to be extremely challenging. It shares the Beauty In Blocks community, but runs its own Java-only Forge world. Weather, temperature, difficult dimensions, and the Wither Storm shape how you survive. Animal, farming, building, and travel mods give you more ways to prepare.
Progress and warp coordinates belong to this world. Shared ranks do not transfer your builds or items from Beauty In Blocks.
Server snapshot
Hardware & hosting
Self-hosted with Pterodactyl on an Intel Core i9-11900K host and NVMe storage. KNCraft shares the host with other services.
The server uses a 20 GiB Java heap and a CPU quota equivalent to six cores of shared capacity. These figures describe the server, not the RAM your client needs.
Wither Storms and severe weather
Wither Storms are a central threat on KNCraft. The launch plan is for two Wither Storms to spawn automatically at the end of the server’s second Minecraft day. Further automatic spawns may be added, but no recurring schedule has been decided.
Weather2 brings storms and tornadoes. Severe weather is tuned to be less frequent, but it is not on a fixed timetable. Tornadoes can affect players and mobs and can pick up blocks from the configured wood and foliage list.
Wither Storm attack, armor, pursuit, and the final encounter have been strengthened for KNCraft. Active Wither Storms can continue moving while nobody is online; logging out does not pause them.
Temperature and dimensions
Getting away from the Wither Storm does not remove the other risks. Temperature changes with your surroundings, and new dimensions require preparation. The Nether is extremely hot; the Depth Dimension is extremely cold. Read about Cold Sweat and the dimension mods before travelling.
Staying mobile
Nomadic Tents, Iron Chests, and Sophisticated Backpacks support life on the move, from preparing and storing supplies to setting up shelter. Farming, wildlife, and travel mods work alongside them. Learning how to use the pack’s systems together is more rewarding than relying on a single mod.
New structures are scattered throughout the world, with more to explore in the pack’s dimensions. Keep track of the Wither Storm while travelling: once large enough, it can be visible from 10,000 blocks away, and its location is available on BlueMap.
Travel and natural Waystones
Discover and activate naturally generated Waystones to use the world’s travel network. Crafting, placing, editing, and breaking Waystones are restricted in survival. They are protected against several forms of block damage; that protection is not a claim over the land around them.
Everyone has public warp access. /home and /spawn are unavailable to players to prevent easy escapes from enemies. Available teleport commands have a 10-second warmup. FTB teleports into or out of the Wither Storm’s bowels are blocked, and /top cannot be used there. See commands and cooldowns.
Playing with others
Simple Voice Chat makes it easier to talk to the players you meet. Our custom clans mod lets you form groups through commands. Working together can help you prepare and survive, but joining a clan does not guarantee that every member is trustworthy.
Cooperation is encouraged, but it is not required or enforced. PvP is enabled, and trusting other players is at your own risk. The community rules still apply.
We strongly recommend reading about the modpack before joining. Admins will not teach you how to use the mods as you play. Other players may choose to help, but you are responsible for learning the mechanics. Start with the mod overview and linked mod authors’ documentation.
Server support
Run by the same two owners behind Beauty In Blocks, around jobs, responsibilities, and life outside Minecraft. Reports and fixes are handled when available, with no guaranteed turnaround. Please include KNCraft, your modpack version, and useful reproduction steps in help requests.
