BumbleCraft and Castaway Minecraft Server

BumbleCraft and Castaway operates as a multi-gamemode crossplay network where Java and Bedrock players share the same worlds, built around the principle that finding the right community matters as much as finding the right game mode. The network runs on Spigot 1.21.8 with Slimefun4 installed, giving players access to advanced crafting and automation systems across its various servers.

🌈 Community & Culture

The server explicitly positions itself as an LGBT-friendly and family-safe environment, designed as a space where young people can grow, learn, and make friends. Cross-network events tie the different gamemodes together, so players aren't siloed into a single server — the community moves between modes and interacts across the entire network. Unique texture experiences are provided for both Java and Bedrock clients, ensuring neither platform feels like an afterthought.

🎮 Gamemodes & Experiences

• Lifesteal — The network's flagship mode, where players steal hearts from opponents on kill, creating high-stakes PVP with permanent consequences.
• OneBlock — A survival challenge where players start on a single block and progress through phases, unlocking new resources and biomes as they level up.
• Survival — A balanced survival experience with Land Claim protection and an economy system.
• Earth — A geopolitical server built on a 1:1000 scale Earth map where players claim real-world territories.
• Prison — A progression-based mining and ranking system where players work their way through prison tiers.
• BorderSMP — A world-border survival mode that compresses the map and intensifies player interaction.
• PVP — Dedicated player-versus-player combat arenas and mechanics woven throughout the network.
