VoidCraft

VoidCraft, a HermitCraft like server.

Our server is made up of a small, friendly community. A good amount of our players have become inactive recently, so we’re looking for some new players to join. We have been going for just over 2 months now, and play with the same data packs as HermitCraft. Since we have been going for a while, we will offer new players materials to get them started! If you are interested, join our Discord and send an application. We would really appreciate it!
