🔥 🔥 🔥

CrankHouse is a Semi-Anarchy Survival SMP and our primary goal revolves around making sure mob rates, caps, and behaviors are as vanilla as possible while also ensuring a stable play environment for client and non-client alike.Server is currently running on versions from 1.17 to 1.20To ensure STABILITY we have spared no expense on the most current and top-of-the-line hardware we could get our hands-on.Although here on CrankHouse we do openly allow the usage of “modded/hacked” clients, there is a limit. This limit it here so you can use the mods/clients without being able to abuse people with what we’d consider as frowned upon hack/modules (offhand bans, chunk bans, etc) In response to these you’ll be kicked automatically and repeatedly until module in question is no longer activated (safe server)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXbSZ13cfNghttps://crankhouse.net/
