🔥 🔥 🔥

Welcome to our Minecraft server, where we take cookouts to a whole new level! Forget bringing a boring pet like a dog or cat, on our server, you can bring a pet dragon to the cookout in Springfield, OH! That’s right, your very own fire-breathing companion to help you roast marshmallows and BBQ some creepers.

But that’s not all! Our server is known for its wild parties and epic adventures. Rumor has it that there’s a secret underground disco club where the Endermen like to bust a move. And if you’re lucky, you might even stumble upon a hidden treasure chest filled with diamonds and emeralds.

So why wait? Join our server now and get ready for a cookout experience like never before. Just make sure to keep an eye on your dragon – we don’t want any accidental BBQ incidents!

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/
