✨ Map Info ✨
NEW Map as of August 3, 2024
Overworld: 30k x 30k
Nether: 30k x 30k
The End: 30k x 30k

✨ Semi-Vanilla ✨
We aim to keep gameplay itself as vanilla as possible, while providing
access to some commands that make Minecraft life a little less mundane.


✨ Grief Prevention ✨
Claim your land and only give access to people that you trust!


✨ Ranks ✨
We have two systems of ranks: voting and donating. Our donator ranks are designed to be "Pay-to-skip" rather than P2W. This means that nearly all donator perks are available from vote ranks and higher vote ranks provide you with better perks than any donator rank.


✨ Crates ✨
Use keys from voting or donating to open crates for special rewards. Collect our specially themed crate collectibles!


✨ Collectibles ✨
We bring a different element to Minecraft with Collector Series. There are
dozens of collector series' on our server and more are being added every month!


✨ Community ✨
We want everyone to enjoy their time on SwanCraft. We try to promote a friendly environment free from toxic energies. Players are encouraged to voice any suggestions or concerns they may have for the community.

We've Reset Our Map for the 1.21 Update! : by SwanCraftMC 08/07/2024 12:32:08 pmAug 7th, 2024

Welcome to 1.21 everyone!!
We have a totally new map as well as the 1.21 features such as trial chambers waiting for your exploration!
Server version is 1.21 so be sure to join in the right version, however, you can join in older versions should you wish to do so.
1.20.6 supports all the new 1.21 content, so if your mods aren't updated to 1.21 yet, you should be able to play on 1.20.6 with no issues.

For any folks just finding this server, I just wanted to leave a little comment as a review. I joined very recently so I feel like I can give a good perspective without the bias of nostalgia, having friends here, or having been here for years.



The Community:

The community is very friendly and welcoming. You've probably heard that a lot, so let me try to articulate that more tangibly. Folks are eager to help newcomers: answering questions, giving gifts, etc etc. There's a bit of a culture of "rank fairies", where players will anonymously gift one another donator ranks. There are lots of dedicated voters and donors, which seems to say that either it's a very dedicated player-base or the server rewards its supporters well. I reckon it's both :) Very very good community; I am having loads of fun reading chat.

The Gameplay:

I am afraid I don't have much to say here as I am not a dedicated "Minecraft Gamer" anymore. I am mostly here for the community. However I will say that the description they give works well. It's a well made and maintained semi-vanilla server. There's homesets, warps, kits, vote rewards, donor rewards, expandable enderchests (I've never seen this specific storage implementation before!), etc. Finally, there's a custom currency, swan feathers, and they're somewhat difficult to come across. This is good, because you can get some really cool things with them: collectibles, armor with cool effects, tools with impossible enchants, etc. (My favorite is Icarus's Wings. I am excited to earn that eventually.)

The Staff:

This is the most part of any server in my opinion. I have served as a staff member for other servers and I have seen first hand what poor management can do to a server. I am happy to say that this server has a staff team that carefully considers difficult situations and handles them with the utmost care. I did some digging and found a guideline given to new staff recruits, and it encourages staff members to treat all players with respect, refrain from sexual misconduct, refrain from bigotry, etc. It gives advice for communication with other staff members and with the player-base, as well as advice for considering complicated problems.

The staff members are active and engage with the player-base as fellow players rather than distant power-tripping authorities. They're friendly folks.

The staff team has left me very impressed and they are the reason I have decided to continue playing on this server and commit time and money to it. It has lasted for many years and I hope it lasts many more.



If you've read this far, I hope to see you online! Shoot me a message in game if you read this, my IGN is owenowowen.

Swancraft used to be a good server, but approximately 6 months ago I was banned from swancraft on the premise of a Twitter post that was taken out of context (yes they banned me for a Twitter post) simply because I disagreed with a person they followed. Also the ban message (which was written by the owner siuan) was used to shame me for what they said I did (I still have the screenshot of the ban message)siting that I had a daughter and that what I said was wrong.. but not in those words.. I've been quiet for awhile now because I didn't think it was worth the waste of my time, but then I thought "how many others have they done this to?" Swancraft may have some good players, and I still have many friends there, but the rest are backstabbing liars and staff with an agenda. Do not join this server, it may be fine for awhile, but as soon as you disagree with one of them, or post something anywhere that they don't like it'll be over, and all your work will be gone.

P.S. server owner/staff: do not contact me about this review I will not be changing my mind.

This player posted and still consistently posts, comments, and re-tweets anti-LGBTQ and (on occasion) racist and sexist content on their Twitter account. Sometimes equating LGBTQ folks with n@zis and often saying that they belong in mental institutions. Their twitter handle is in their comment, so feel free to check it out yourself.

We are extremely supportive of our LGBTQ+ community here and won't tolerate such things. We don't want players here who spread hateful rhetoric about a community that many of our players and staff team belong to. MoonLit had his twitter linked to his discord account and a player followed the link, saw the anti-trans content and alerted us to it. We don't police players' social medias and MoonLit remains the only person to be banned for something they posted outside of the server. However, if someone is posting blatantly bigoted, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or anti-semetic stuff outside of the server and it can easily be traced to their Minecraft account, yes, I would absolutely ban that person, as I personally do not want them here.

We absolutely do have an agenda, to create a safe space for people who do nothing to harm anyone else, and to keep hateful fearmongering people away from our community.



And for some context on the tweet he's referring to:

And that's just one of dozens of examples of bigoted content he's posted.

Swancraft has recently updated to 1.18 and with the update came a new map for a fresh start at a new base and new ideas. I'll be updating my progress on here shortly.

I love being a player on this server... I've been on many smp servers as a player, one as an admin and one as a moderator, and this is the best server ive found since i started playing online when it was enabled by mojang.
Come join the amazing players and staff here on SwanCraft!
