Hey CubeCrafters, my name is Luke and I've been at CubeCraft 7 years now, I joined around September 2013!

I've worked on an awful lot of projects since then, been through all the ups and downs of CubeCraft, and this is one project which was a huge up for me personally. I'm here to break down what goes on behind-the-scenes when creating a Marketplace project.


Minecraft had recently announced the release of bees, we thought there would be a lot of buzz behind this update and wanted to create content that brought this to the player.

In reality:
Luke walks over to @Camezonda desk
Luke: "Hey Cam what up"
Cam: "Do you know bees come out soon?"
Luke: "Wait what... how soon?"
Cam: "In a couple of months I think"
Luke "oh... that's pretty soon should probably do something"

My years of puns had consequences...

Hello CubeCrafters!

Welcome to the first edition of "Behind the Cube"! This is a different post than what you'd usually see here. These posts will be more geared around our backend development and how we as a development team deliver updates to you, the community. We'll be going more into detail about some of the internals of CubeCraft (which includes some sneak-peeks into our code!). Over the past few months, both our Java and Bedrock networks have seen a great amount of growth, and with that the amount of updates we've been able to deliver! We'll likely be going over some of the more recent updates in these posts, with this first one primarily being focused around the Lucky Islands game we recently released on our Bedrock network.



So to start off, unlike what most other Bedrock servers do, we actually run a Java Edition-based server platform on our Bedrock network. And yes, you heard that right! When you join our Bedrock network, you're...

Hello Bedrock CubeCrafters!

Our Lucky Block gamemode, Lucky Islands is now out as a permanent game! - It has it's own lobby & rank. We've also added some other awesome features to our Bedrock network. Read below to find out more!



Back in July, we released Lucky Islands for our Bedrock network in our Beta Games lobby. Now we're proud to announce that the game is now permanent and is located in the Lucky Blocks lobby. Now if you're wondering why isn't it called the Lucky Islands lobby, that's because Lucky Blocks is a theme rather than a specific game. This opens the possibility for other Lucky Block gamemodes to join the lobby, not just for Lucky Islands to have a spot :D - Who knows, Lucky Block Race or Lucky Walls could be added

We've also added a new map for Solo Lucky Islands, introducing Ruins!

Hey Java CubeCrafters!

A few weeks ago, we revealed that we hired two new game developers to help with updates around our Java & Bedrock network. In case you missed that, read this thread, it reveals a lot of our plans for the next month.

Today, we're happy to be releasing a new update for Lucky Islands on our Java network - new Lucky Blocks, new world events, and a new wand?! Read more to know what's in this update



TNT: Drops 3-6 TNT, a lever & a stone pressure plate. Do you dare to TNT jump? :o

Hello CubeCrafters, we've got exciting news for our Discord users.


For the past week we have been working on an overhaul to the CubeCraft Discord, we passed this through Admins, then the staff team and now we're looking to show it off to you guys before hopefully launching later this week if everything goes well. We believe that the current Discord design layout is not optimal for adding new voice/text channels and we also believe it looks quite boring overall in terms of layout/aesthetic.

• We've changed the voice channels the most, these are now grouped up into their respective categories of interest and not into a massive "voice" section, this makes it easier to minimize languages that you don't speak and also to see voice calls for things you are interested in.
• We've also added...
