A private server that plays by new rules.
A challenge server runs a challenge: a goal for the whole group, rules that change how the world behaves, and a clear end.
From an idea to a running server.

An official one, one from the library, or one you built.

Everyone online is on one team, with the goal on the sidebar. Win, lose, and run it again whenever you like.
Three to start with.
Written by us and open to remixing.
Lumberjack rush
Chop 100 logs as a team before 15 minutes run out. Every 3 minutes the forest fights back and slows everyone down.
1 to 8 players · about 15 minutes
Shared health
Everyone shares one health bar. Defeat the Ender Dragon together, but if anyone dies, the run is over.
2 to 8 players · about 120 minutes
Shared luck
When anyone mines diamond ore, every teammate gets a random item, at most once every 10 seconds. Chopping a log sometimes gives you one too. Defeat the Ender Dragon.

Everything creators have published.
Each entry says who made it, how many players it suits and how long a session takes. Play any of them, or remix one into a challenge of your own.
Already run a Paper server?
The plugin that runs our servers works on any Paper 26.3 server. Download octocarbon-0.1.1.jar, put it in the plugins folder, and operators get the challenge commands. Hosting with us adds the dashboard, the library and adventures.

An account takes a minute, a server takes a few more.
