Which Minecraft versions does Vanilla Hardcore support?
The version shown in this listing is 26.3. Choose a matching version in your launcher before connecting. Servers may update independently of MineRate, so the version shown here can lag behind a recent change; check the server's own announcements if your client reports a mismatch.
Do I need a premium Minecraft account for Vanilla Hardcore?
According to the server listing, both premium and cracked clients are supported. This describes the server's account setting, not a guarantee that every client can connect; edition, version, whitelist and current server availability still matter.
Does Vanilla Hardcore require a whitelist?
The listing says no whitelist is required. You still need the correct edition and version, and the server must be online and accepting connections.
Is Vanilla Hardcore online, and how many players are there?
The last monitoring check reported the server online with 40243 of 50000 available slots online. The average across recorded online checks is 35018 players. These numbers are snapshots and may change before you connect.
When was Vanilla Hardcore last checked, and what does the status mean?
MineRate last checked the server Oct 18, 01:34 PM and recorded it as online. This is the result of that check, not a permanent guarantee: a server can restart, become full or change settings between checks.
