What Minecraft version does Vanilla Hardcore run?

Vanilla Hardcore reports version 1.26. Matching your client to that version is the usual fix when a server refuses the connection.

Can Java and Bedrock players both join Vanilla Hardcore?

No. Vanilla Hardcore only answered on Java when we tested it, so Bedrock players cannot use this address. We repeat the test daily and will update this page if that changes.

Where is Vanilla Hardcore hosted?

The address for Vanilla Hardcore resolves to a machine in Israel. Players far from there should expect a longer round trip, which usually shows up as delayed block breaking rather than as a disconnect.

Is Vanilla Hardcore free to join?

Yes, joining Vanilla Hardcore costs nothing beyond owning Minecraft. Some servers additionally allow offline-mode accounts and some do not — the server decides that, and we do not resell anything.
