Guide

How HCF works

HCF, short for Hardcore Factions, is Factions built around competitive PvP. Teams have a size limit and claim land out in the map, away from a protected spawn. Die and you are deathbanned: locked out of the map for a set time unless you use a life.

Each faction has a DTR (deaths till raidable) value that drops when its members die. Once it falls to zero or below, the faction is raidable and other teams can break into its claim. A map opens with SOTW (start of the world), when PvP is off for a while, runs KOTH (king of the hill) events where a team must hold a capture zone for a set time to win loot, and ends with EOTW (end of the world), when every faction becomes raidable before the reset.

Most HCF servers play 1.8-style combat with splash healing potions, enchantment limits, and an ender pearl cooldown. Many networks also run a Kitmap: HCF rules with free kits and no deathban.

FAQ

HCF server questions

Short answers to what players ask most. Still stuck? Check the Minecraft authentication server status.

What does HCF stand for in Minecraft?

HCF stands for Hardcore Factions. It is a faster, more competitive take on Factions: capped team sizes, a deathban when you die, factions that become raidable when their DTR runs out, and maps that reset after an end-of-the-world event.

What is the difference between HCF and Factions?

Factions servers are usually built around TNT cannons and raiding fortified bases over a long season. HCF caps team sizes, deathbans you from the map when you die, and makes a faction raidable once its DTR runs out, with KOTH and other events through each map.

What version do HCF servers use?

Most HCF servers are built for 1.8 combat, without the attack cooldown that Java 1.9 added, and many accept newer clients through a proxy. Check the version on each listing before you join.

How do I join a Minecraft Java server?

Copy the server address, open Minecraft Java Edition, choose Multiplayer, then Add Server. Paste the address, save it, and select Join Server. Keep any port after a colon, and use the game version the server supports.
