Households & Settlements
Build with the people you trust, establish a safe anchor, and keep shared work connected to home.
Current foundationA living foundation in controlled development
Build a home.
Grow a town.
Leave a history.
A warm hearth on the edge of a hard, untamed frontier. Begin with a roof, a field, and the people beside you.

Development lantern
The test hearth is lit.
The private test server now carries the solo-accessible Town → City → Kingdom → Province → Empire route, alongside the Household → Settlement foundation, Chronicle history, and safer building tools. The rollout is automated-verified; new client flows and art still need physical Java and Bedrock acceptance.
From one lantern to a living world
A home becomes
history slowly.
Hearthlands is built around the small, meaningful work that gives a world its memory: gathering, sheltering, tending, building, and making a place worth returning to.
- 01Household
Begin with one home and the people you trust.
- 02Settlement
Share anchors, work, and a place worth returning to.
- 03Hamlet
Make a small place people can rely on.
- 04Village
Grow through a clear, solo-friendly checklist.
- 05Civilizations
Town → City → Kingdom → Province → Empire.
Town through Empire is enabled on the private test server, not production-live or accepted. The path never requires alternate accounts, fake members, or a treasury gate.
What the first lantern is for
Made for a world
that remembers.
Building tools
Recall, Chronicle guidance, boundary previews, and provider-aware safety keep the work readable without taking over Minecraft.
Current foundationThe Chronicle
Small milestones, enduring stories, and a future civic history that can grow from Town to Empire.
Current + futureSafe hearth, hard frontier
Belonging is not the same thing as easy.
The hearth should feel safe. Beyond it, the world should still ask something of you. Hearthlands is for cooperative builders who want meaningful survival, protected creations, and a frontier worth preparing for.
Our founding principlesArrive as you are
Java and Bedrock,
one campfire.
The current foundation serves Java and Bedrock through vanilla fallbacks, native Floodgate forms, and command paths. Optional Java art never becomes a requirement.
Connection instructions remain gated while feature-specific client and safety acceptance continues.

Before opening day
Hearthgreen is being given its first shape.
A cabin, a well, a commons, and two plots waiting for their first stewards.
