PvP*

Our main survival world is No PVP, No Grief – No Exceptions. We do, however, have kit based Arenas, and an actual PVP world that uses your Survival Inventory to test your strength against other people. Our PVP World also contains many sprawling dungeons that are home to even more dangerous creatures and powerful loot. The PVP world is 100% Optional. Nobody is ever required to go there, or participate. You cant even accidentally get there.

Stuzzcraft Modded

In addition to our main server, we also run a Forge based modded server which adds multiple new gameplay aspects, including new mobs, biomes and items – Just like our main server, it too is free to everyone, and is linked to our main server via chat. For more information on our modded server, visit its own info page here.

Our Hardware

Stuzzcraft (SCV) and Stuzzcraft Modded (SCM) run on our very own dedicated machine and can accurately boast a 99% uptime, Screaming fast with a quad core Xeon E3 and 16g of RAM, We rarely experience any server lag on either game.

Under new management

After two years of service, Stuzz has passed the torch to the developer-become-admin Raum. You can read about it here.

Additional Information
While we are an All Ages server, certain things, such as swearing, ARE allowed on Stuzzcraft. If you, or your children, do not wish to see this, they can use the command /chatfilter to turn off all visible swearing in public channels.
