It is now possible to connect to ECC with 1.16.1 on your Minecraft client.

However, we still recommend that you use 1.15.2 when connecting to Main, MainNorth, SG & VMR and 1.12.2 when connecting to Skyblock & Archive. This compatibility update is primarily for new players who are looking for servers on their 1.16.1 clients.

You are free to report any bugs that come with running 1.16.1 at https://ecocitycraft.com/help. However, the issues will most likely be already known/reported and we, again, advise you to use 1.15.2 if you want to avoid such issues.

This is not a server update to 1.16.1! This thread/update only pertains to your ability to connect to ECC with a 1.16 client. New features (ie blocks, mechanics, etc.) that come with 1.16+ are not impacted by this update.

Defend the Base returns! Face off against another team and defend your base from destruction! Last base standing wins the round!
This competition has undergone some significant changes. Do we...​

EcoCityCraft's Survival Games have been reset! All stats are wiped clean and everyone starts out on a fresh slate for Season 3.

But wait! There's more! We have now totally revamped our Prestige/Reset system to make room for what will ultimately be an epic 16-bracket PvP tournament!

Here's an outline of what's now happening:

SG will now reset every single month for the next 4 months. The 4 top users in wins will be entered into our tournament bracket at the end of every month to coincide with the reset.
At the end those 4 months, we will hold a single-elimination 1v1 tournament (Winner will be out of 9 matches).
The remaining two users will be awarded SG Prestige.
The winner of that final round will win a $300 USD Headset and an exclusive PvP tournament forum medal!


Feel free to ask any additional questions regarding the tournament in the FAQ thread here.

We have also heard your calls for a new map and will commit to considering adding one by the end of the month. Feel free to forum PM/discord DM me any submissions and I'll add the best ones to a thread where users can vote on it (No, the submissions don't need to be yours, but if they aren't, properly credit them).

Happy PvPing and may the odds ever be in your favor!​

Sunday, May 17th at 2pm EST
Once again we will be hosting a Maze Run! This event will take place on Main East and really to potentially win something you really just need to show up and get through the maze as fast as possible! The maze will be stocked with both first-come first serve prize-chests as well as riddles and locked rooms for you to gain access too for bigger prizes! Rumor has it that there will be a couple of Star Keys up for grabs! But only if you can solve the password-riddle.
We hope to see you there!


Keep an eye out in-game for some spontaneous events happening as well!
Effective immediately. Hack Clients are straight out banned everywhere on our Network. We will now be Perma Banning and literally wiping all accounts we catch using a Hack Client on any game mode via ECC.
This mainly affects VMR players.

The threshold for lotto spam regarding how many tickets you can buy consecutively has been lowered. Staff will now be enforcing that you should not be buying more than 4 tickets in a rapid succession.
