'''Civcraft''' was a [[mainline]] [[Civ]] server run by [[ttk2]]. It was the first mainline server and is widely considered the pioneer of the Civ genre. Civcraft ran from March 24, 2012 to October 1, 2016 over three iterations. It was succeeded by [[Devoted 3.0]] as the next mainline server.

'''Civcraft''' was the [[Civ]] server at the core of the Civ genre, introducing the now well-known Civ plugins such as [[Citadel]], [[FactoryMod]], [[Bastions]], [[PrisonPearl]], [[JukeAlert]], [[RealisticBiomes]], and [[NameLayer]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/wiki/index#wiki_plugins</ref> The server address was <code>mc.civcraft.vg</code> and later <code>mc.civcraft.co</code>.

Civcraft was the first server to use mechanics and plugins that have since become core to Civ, including [[Citadel]], [[Factory|Factories]], [[Bastions]], [[Prison Pearl]], [[Snitch]]es, [[Realistic Biomes]], and [[NameLayer]]<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/wiki/index#wiki_plugins</ref>. Many of its design decisions and ideas remain present in mainline servers to this day.
Its first iteration launched on 24 March 2012<ref name=":0">[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Vhdz8mHaRapvxn0CyVvNuNv72CgK6QeY2UxbyG53Ak/edit#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Vhdz8mHaRapvxn0CyVvNuNv72CgK6QeY2UxbyG53Ak/edit]</ref>, making it the second typical Civ server after [[Ancap Minecraft]].

As of August 2023, many of the released map backups for CivCraft 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 have been uploaded to the Internet Archive.<ref>https://archive.org/details/civcraftarchive_202308</ref>

Its goal was to be "an experiment for communities, political ideologies, debate and discussion. The backstory [was] based on history, not fiction. Civcraft [was] forming a new direction for game-play, not just about surviving the elements, but about surviving each other, where players can work together to create and shape civilization or to watch it crumble. A world open to any idea, manifesto or philosophy, created by the players."<ref name=":1">https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/</ref> Civcraft hoped "to push Minecraft to its fullest potential in order to foster discussion, experimentation and community building."<ref name=":1" />

After its demise, [[Devoted]] signaled a departure from the initial direction of Civ, but [[CivClassic]] brought a return to Civcraft 2.0's mechanics and nostalgia.<blockquote>''"This is the great pastime and challenge of mankind: Civilization."'' - Civcraft description<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>

|text=Civcraft is an experiment for communities, political ideologies, debate and discussion. Our backstory is based on history, not fiction. We’re forming a new direction for game-play, not just about surviving the elements, but about surviving each other, where players can work together to create and shape civilization or to watch it crumble. A world open to any idea, manifesto or philosophy, created by the players. We hope to push minecraft to its fullest potential in order to foster discussion, experimentation and community building. This is the great pastime and challenge of mankind: Civilization.
