GateCraft

The Czech Minecraft server online since November 2011 — now in its relaunch chapter, Chapter Three: Reborn from Oblivion. A heavily custom survival world with towns, ranks, organized PvP games and a built-in trial that every new player has to pass.

Quick answer: connect to game.gatecraft.cz:27770 on Minecraft Java Edition with a legitimate account. Everyone new lands in Rogue lands as a Newcomer — read the rules to become a Rogue, earn 1,000 crowns, then pass through the gate into the Kingdom, the main world.

How to join

  1. 1
    Use Minecraft Java Edition

    The server is Java-only — no Bedrock, mobile or console support. Server listings report the current required version as 26.3; match your game version or the connection fails.

  2. 2
    Add the server

    Multiplayer → Add Server → enter game.gatecraft.cz:27770. You must be logged in with a paid Minecraft account — cracked clients are rejected.

  3. 3
    Survive Rogue lands

    Every new player spawns in Rogue village as a Newcomer who can basically only walk. Type /rules, follow what they say, and you become a Rogue.

  4. 4
    Earn your way through the gate

    The only exit from Rogue lands is the town gate, and passing costs 1,000 crowns. Merchant Eric opposite the town hall is the only money source in Rogue lands — do Mayor Jones' starter task and trade to afford it.

  5. 5
    Become a Traveler, then a Resident

    Through the gate you're a Traveler in the Kingdom — the main world with Prime City, player towns, shops and portals to other worlds. Settle in and you graduate to Resident.
