InsanityCraft
About InsanityCraft
A multi-mode network bundling Survival, SkyBlock, Factions, and Prison with mcMMO skills and custom bosses.
InsanityCraft is a Java network for players who do not want to commit to a single game mode. It runs Survival, SkyBlock, Factions, and Prison together and connects them with a cross-server economy, so progress and trading carry weight across the whole network rather than being siloed into one mode.
Two systems give it extra depth. The mcMMO plugin adds RPG-style skill levelling to everyday actions like mining, combat, and woodcutting, turning routine play into long-term character progression, and custom bosses give groups something tougher to test their gear against. Combined with the four core modes, that makes InsanityCraft feel more like a small ecosystem of game types than a single-purpose server.
If you like the idea of a network where you can move between Survival, SkyBlock, Factions, and Prison while your economy follows you, InsanityCraft is a tidy mid-sized option. It is Java-only; add the IP above and pick whichever mode you are in the mood for, knowing the mcMMO grind rewards sticking around.
InsanityCraft is a survival, SkyBlock, and Factions server on Minecraft Java Edition. It typically runs 100 - 800 players online and supports Minecraft version 1.8 - 1.21.
What InsanityCraft's Game Modes Are About
survival
Survival is the core Minecraft experience: you gather resources, craft tools, build shelter, fend off mobs, and progress through the game in a persistent shared world.
On a survival server the loop is gather, build, and trade. You mine and farm for materials, establish a base, and usually claim land so other players cannot break or steal from it. Many survival servers layer an economy, custom enchantments, or jobs on top, but the heart of it is the same open-ended progression you get in singleplayer, shared with other people.
SkyBlock
SkyBlock starts you on a small floating island with almost nothing and challenges you to expand it into a thriving base using limited resources and clever automation.
The classic SkyBlock loop is to bootstrap from scarcity: you begin with a tree, a few blocks, and a starter chest, then use cobblestone generators, farms, and careful trading to grow your island. Most servers add island levels, challenges, and an economy so you compete on island value, and many let you invite friends to build a shared island together.
Factions
Factions is team-based PvP: you form a group, claim and fortify a base, raid rival factions, and fight for territory and resources.
Factions play revolves around offence and defence. Your faction claims chunks, walls off a base, and stockpiles loot, while rival factions try to breach your walls (often with TNT cannons) and take everything inside. Power, raiding, and PvP combat are central, and seasonal map resets keep the competition fresh by wiping everyone's progress periodically.
What to Look For on a Server Like This
- A land-claim or grief-protection plugin (such as GriefPrevention or Towny) so your builds and chests are safe.
- Clear rules on PvP: whether it is fully on, off, or only in marked zones changes the whole experience.
- A stable economy that is driven by player trading rather than an admin shop that floods the market.
- Good server performance (high TPS, low lag) so redstone, farms, and mobs behave correctly.
- An island-levels or value system so there is a clear goal to progress toward.
- Support for island teams so you can build with friends on one island.
Tips for Playing on InsanityCraft
- Claim your land before you build anything valuable; an unclaimed base is an open invitation on many servers.
- Set your home and learn the warp or teleport commands early so you can get back to base quickly.
- Check whether the server has a player market or shop district before grinding for items you could simply buy.
- Build at least one safe storage area away from your main base if the server allows raiding.
- Build a cobblestone generator first; it is the foundation that lets you expand your island indefinitely.
- Set up automatic farms early so resources accumulate while you are doing other things.
