building techniques

Las Cucarachas is a callback to a simpler time. Inspired by the servers of the early 2010s, Las Cucarachas is a community where you can build freely without worrying about griefing or theft; work collaboratively on whatever projects you dream up and make new friends along the way; and enjoy the freedom to play how you want to play.

Our Discord Server isn’t littered with unnecessary bots and excessive channels and the community is generally pretty nice. The voice chat is reasonably active and the vibe is pretty chill.

Las Cucarachas values free speech, you will never be reprimanded for having an opinion, making a joke, or anything like that.

Our economy is 100% vanilla — the most common currency is diamond and all of the shops are player-made. We do have a designated shopping district, although you’re welcome to build your business wherever you’d like!

Land-claim and rollback plugins make vandalism virtually impossible. Our staff members are responsive and helpful — if you have any issues with griefing or theft, let a staff-member know and we’ll get it fixed promptly.

We like to keep things simple. There aren’t any roles, obnoxious prefixes and technicolor nicknames; you will never be solicited for donations, and there is absolutely no pay-to-win or buyable cosmetics or any of that malarkey.

Las Cucarachas is primarily composed of USA, CA, and EU players. The server is hosted in North America (Toronto), and peak hours are typically afternoon/night EST. The server is relatively small and the server hardware is robust so lag is minimal.

Las Cucarachas is still a relatively new server so you won’t have to work too hard to make new friends, find a place to collect resources and build, and make a name for yourself. Feel free to hop on and check us out!
