Kohi was a North American Minecraft network owned by prplz, and one of the two servers that defined Hardcore Factions during the format's golden era, alongside HCTeams. Beyond HCF it ran Practice, CBF and other modes, and served as the hub of the wider potion-PvP community.

Kohi ran at least 26 HCF maps, resetting roughly every seven weeks.

This article is a stub. The founding date, per-map results and the full list of game modes still need to be added.

History

Needs: when Kohi launched, who else ran it alongside prplz, and how it grew.

Merge with Badlion

Kohi merged with Badlion between the transition of Map 25 and Map 26. prplz sold the network rather than giving it away.

The merge is generally regarded as a failure. Most of Kohi's playerbase resisted it, and the Kohi servers on Badlion subsequently died, with cubecore and vault battles among the last surviving remnants. Kohi's Practice server moved across but closed after complaints about performance and knockback, and was eventually folded into Badlion's Arena.

Community accounts attribute the failure to two things: Kohi players disliking Badlion, and a large portion of the community being banned by Badlion's GCheat anticheat. Both explanations come from forum discussion rather than any official account.

Aftermath

Kohi's closure is treated as a turning point in the format's decline. Rather than consolidating anywhere, the community fragmented across a number of smaller HCF servers, and with MineHQ also gone, no single server united the scene the way Kohi had.

A petition asking Badlion to return the Kohi server files circulated in 2017. Nothing came of it.

Relaunch

A Kohi network has since returned, running an open beta on the IP kohi.us for Minecraft 1.21.6 and above. This is a modern version rather than the 1.7/1.8 the original network ran on.

Needs: whether this relaunch is connected to prplz or the original network, when it started, and whether it runs HCF.

Game modes

Mode	Notes
HCF	The main draw; at least 26 maps
CBF	Recorded on Zenith's roster; needs description
Practice	Potion-PvP practice; moved to Badlion and closed
Cubecore	Outlasted most Kohi modes after the merge
Vault battles	Also survived past the merge

Needs: what CBF stood for and how it differed from standard HCF.
