Season rewards

Prizes

The Season 2 prize pool is $150. If you reach Mythic while funds remain, you can choose a Minecraft Java & Bedrock code or a Purple Heart Cape. We award prizes in the order players reach Mythic, after a 7-day staff review. Each person can win each prize once: one Minecraft Java & Bedrock code and one Purple Heart Cape. We check Discord accounts, Minecraft accounts and IPs. A code winner can return in a later season to try for the cape. After winning both prizes, reaching Mythic again earns you the permanent Season Champion role and a place on the winners list on this page, with no further prize. Season 2 runs from 5 October 2026 until 3 January 2027 at 19:22:45 UTC.

Playing with Craft Client

Craft Client is our free Windows launcher. It works without a Microsoft account and lets you join CraftCorps Hardcore. Players without a premium account verify once through Discord when they first join. You can get Craft Client at /download/. It is optional. Any compatible Java or Bedrock client can join.

Earning XP

You earn 2 Hardcore XP for each counted active minute. Linking your account gives you 300 Hardcore XP once, and eligible referrals can add more. A minute counts when you play, such as breaking or placing blocks, crafting, fighting or exploring new chunks. Standing still, AFK pools and macros earn no XP. Up to 6 active hours count per day. Mythic requires 45,000 Hardcore XP, at least 250 of your own active hours and play on at least 30 different days. Season XP combines your Hardcore XP with XP from Discord chat. A counted Discord message earns 15 to 25 Season XP, at most once per minute and subject to a daily cap. Season XP alone takes you to Homesteader, so Discord chat can get you that far. From Artisan to Paragon, each rank also needs a few achievements you earn in game. Type /achievements in game to see them, on Java or Bedrock. Mythic needs no achievements. Nobody loses a rank they had before achievements were added. Discord chat does not count toward Mythic.

Season 2 ranks

Streaks and XP boosts

Each consecutive day adds 5% to your XP streak bonus, up to 50%. A missed day resets the streak, and you can hold up to two streak shields. Server boosters get 25% extra XP and an exclusive colour. When the community meets its weekly playtime goal, the weekend has 2× XP. At 2 and 7 server boosts, a 48-hour 2× XP window opens. Streaks and boosts multiply XP. They do not increase your counted hours.

Linking and referrals

Link your game account to Discord for a one-time 300 Hardcore XP bonus. Players using a CraftCorps login are linked automatically; premium Java and Bedrock players type /link in our Discord. You can link one Java and one Bedrock account, and playing on both at the same time counts once. A new player names who referred them in game within their first 7 days. The referral counts after that player logs 3 active hours across 3 days. The referrer gets a bonus plus 10% of that player’s Hardcore XP. Referral XP is capped at 30% of the 45,000 XP required for Mythic.

Fair play

Alternate accounts, invite farming and join-for-join schemes disqualify players from prizes. Staff members cannot win. An automatic anticheat suspension doesn't affect your rewards. Only a ban confirmed by staff does. We may lower the requirements for Mythic and the prize during a season. We will never raise them.
