Former DeadlyFam Minecraft Servers
- Is Living Stone Network the new DeadlyFam?

- Did DeadlyFam Minecraft move to Living Stone Network?
- Not exactly. Living Stone Network is not DeadlyFam under a new name. After an amicable split in direction, the former DeadlyFam Minecraft server environments operated by ChrisNorcras are now part of Living Stone Network, a separate organization with its own identity, covenant, and direction.
- What happened to DeadlyFam SMP?
- DeadlyFam SMP, as previously operated by ChrisNorcras, is now represented on Living Stone Network as Foundation SMP. It uses the former DeadlyFam SMP server environment and is now a Living Stone Network server.

- Java players connect to play.livingstonemc.com. Bedrock players connect to br.livingstonemc.com on port 50101. Whitelist access through the Living Stone Network Discord is required before connecting.

- Yes. The server and map are the same, so builds, land claims, inventory, and progress carry over with no interruption of service.
- Why does this site mention DeadlyFam?
- This page exists so players searching for DeadlyFam Minecraft, DeadlyFam SMP, or the former DeadlyFam server IP can find the correct new home. The servers formerly operated by ChrisNorcras are now part of Living Stone Network.
