How a game works
One map. One hour. One winner.
Every game starts on a brand-new world. Choose your kit, scatter, gear up and hunt. Up to an hour later, only one player is left.
Lobby
0:00
2 minutes of safety
Everyone gets a compass and their kit items. Nobody can be hurt for two minutes, so run, gather and make soup.
~15:00
Raid the feast
The feast is announced 13 to 26 minutes in: 12 chests of diamond gear around an enchanting table. Mini-feasts pop up too.
50:00
Survive the pit
At 50 minutes everyone left is dropped into the pit to fight it out. Last player standing takes the win.
Kits
Your kit is your weapon
Stomp players from the sky, call down lightning or swap places with a snowball. 12 kits are live right now, with more being switched on as they pass testing.
Why play
Classic HG, done right
Rebuilt from the original servers' own numbers, so it plays the way you remember.
1.8 combat
No attack cooldown, no sweeping. Block-hit with your sword, and crits do 125% just like the original.
Soup PvP
Soup heals 3.5 hearts instantly. Mushroom stew, Cacti Juice and Chocolate Milk all work.
Tracking compass
Right-click your compass to point at the nearest player more than 25 blocks away. Nowhere to hide.
Fresh world every game
A new map each round with a forcefield at ±500 blocks, no diamond ore and no Nether. Gear comes from the feasts.
Feasts & mini-feasts
One announced feast, surprise mini-feasts with Kit Packages, and a secret bonus feast at 30 minutes.
130 unique kits
Every original kit plus the challenge kits, from Kangaroo and Thor to Endermage and Timelord.

FAQ
Questions?
How do I join?
Java: open Minecraft Java Edition 26.3, go to Multiplayer, click Add Server and enter mc-hg.org.
Bedrock (Windows, phone): go to Play → Servers → Add Server, and enter play.mc-hg.org with port 19132.
Xbox, PlayStation, Switch: use the free BedrockOnline app. See the step-by-step guide.
Can I play on Bedrock or console?
Yes. Bedrock players on Windows, iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch play in the same games as Java players. Here's how to join.
Do I have to pay for kits?
No. Every live kit is free to use right now. The store sells ranks that support the server.
What happens when I die?
You're out of that game. A new game starts on a fresh map as soon as the current one ends, so jump straight back in.
Is teaming allowed?
Yes, just like the original. Some kits are built for teams, and others are built to break them up. Check the rules for everything else.
Is this the old MCPVP server?
No. It's a fan recreation of MCPVP's Hardcore Games, rebuilt from scratch using the original kit pages, news posts and videos.
