A long-term GTNH world for industry, automation, suffering and controlled chaos.
Dcraft did not begin life as some sleek enterprise cluster humming in a climate-controlled
temple of money. It started the proper way: with salvaged hardware, stubbornness, and the
dangerous sentence, “it’ll probably be fine.” What began as rescued office hardware has since
evolved into a very real GTNH server stack — one now running on an HP EliteDesk 800 G5,
because even machine spirits appreciate a promotion once in a while.
GregTech: New Horizons is a huge expert-style Minecraft modpack where progression is slow,
deliberate and deeply technical. Almost everything is part of a larger chain, and every
small victory eventually turns into five new machines, three chemical processes, and one
fresh reason to question your life choices.
Progression: long-term, tier-based and grindy in the best and worst possible way.
Focus: automation, power, chemistry, logistics, survival, and industrialized regret.
The machine
The current live GTNH server runs on an HP EliteDesk 800 G5. Before that, the project lived
on older rescued hardware that was quite literally saved from the trash and somehow refused
to die. So yes, the box is more respectable now, but the project still carries strong
“forged in a junk pile and held together by determination” energy.
Current host: HP EliteDesk 800 G5 running the live GTNH world.
Project heritage: rescued business hardware, gradual upgrades, and just enough sanity to keep it stable.
The vibe
The server is meant to be practical, relaxed and slightly cursed. If a machine explodes,
a pipe clogs, or power dies at exactly the wrong moment, that is not necessarily a bug.
Sometimes that is just GregTech reminding you that joy is temporary and infrastructure is forever.
Rule one: automate it.
Rule two: then automate the thing that automates it.
Server basics
Do not grief or destroy other players' builds.
Do not intentionally create lag machines unless your goal is to become a historical warning.
Ask before building very close to someone else's base.
Clean up temporary messes where possible. “I’ll fix it later” is how ancient ruins begin.
Admins are friendly until given a reason not to be. Act like an asshole and you can expect the same energy back, followed by a ban.
If something breaks, blame GregTech first, then investigate properly. Both steps are important.
Behind the scenes
Hosting
Ubuntu server running the live GTNH world on the G5.
Reverse proxy
Nginx handles HTTPS and routes traffic cleanly, which sounds much more professional than “it works, don’t touch it.”
Map
Dynmap is available at /map/ for viewing the world and admiring industrial sprawl.
Status
The site reads live CPU, memory, disk and player data from a local stats API. There is also a dedicated /stats/ page for people who enjoy graphs more than sunlight.
How to install GTNH
Download and install Prism Launcher.
Open the official GTNH downloads page.
Download the latest Prism ZIP for the version you want.
Import or drag the ZIP into Prism Launcher.
Log in with your Minecraft account and launch the pack once.
After that, join the server at dcraft.nl.
Windows users: do not install Prism inside a OneDrive folder unless you enjoy strange and unnecessary suffering.
Recommended launcher
Prism Launcher is the cleanest option for GTNH, which is saying a lot for something that eventually launches GregTech.
