Hotdog Water
Overview
Hotdog Water is a vanilla Minecraft server network primarily focused on genuine hardcore gameplay. It was created by Eric (jaer01) and Jake (JakeLaMtn) to bring the vanilla hardcore Minecraft experience to multiplayer. Many servers that advertise themselves as "hardcore" do not provide the defining feature of Minecraft hardcore: permadeath. It's difficult to maintain a player base when members are unable to be revived, so many servers opt for semi-hardcore, where death results in a temporary ban or there is some non-vanilla mechanic for reviving dead players.
In Hotdog Water, if you die, you're dead until the world resets. There are no revives. World resets are controlled by a vote on the Hotdog Water Discord.
You can join Hotdog Water on Minehut using HotdogH2O.minehut.gg.
Servers
Hotdog Water started as a single hardcore vanilla Minecraft server. The hardcore server is still the main server and purpose of Hotdog Water. Along with the main hardcore server, we also offer two others that cater to different playstyles.
Hardcore
Hotdog Water Hardcore is a public vanilla hardcore Minecraft server. The server is strictly vanilla, with only minor cosmetic and moderation-supporting changes made to the base game.
Hardcore means if you die, you're dead. You don't get a temporary death-ban and your friends can't do anything to revive you. You're dead until the world resets. And if you want the world to reset, you can join the Discord to vote for reset.
The hardcore Hotdog Water server is semi-anarchy. That means that killing, griefing, and stealing are all allowed. But cheating and exploiting are not. To understand what is allowed on Hotdog Water servers, read the rules.
Survival
Hotdog Water Survival is a 1.21 vanilla survival Minecraft server. Just like with the hardcore server, minimal changes are made to the base game. Survival is also sem-anarchy and the same rules apply.
Hotdog Water firmly believes that hardcore Minecraft is the best Minecraft gamemode. However, not everyone is great at hardcore Minecraft. That doesn't mean they shouldn't play, but it does mean they might die sometimes.
Hotdog Water Survival gives these members somewhere to go while they wait for the Hardcore world to reset.
Veterans
Hotdog Water Veterans is an exclusive hardcore vanilla Minecraft server. It is just like the original Hotdog Water Hardcore server, but it's whitelisted and cooperative. You can apply on the hotdog water Discord server. But don't get your hopes up, you'll only be allowed to join if you've already proven yourself capable on Hotdog Water Hardcore.
The Veterans server was created because some members of the Hotdog Water community felt that careless and inexperienced players were holding them back. There are periods when the Hotdog Water Hardcore server resets frequently. We understand that this is frustrating to experienced hardcore players. Hotdog Water Veterans is a place for careful and experienced hardcore players to build long-lasting hardcore multiplayer worlds.
