About us

Our Origins

Mangocraft was founded on January 1, 2016, through the merger of “WGc-Minecraft Studio” and “Mango Design Studio.” This union combined the strengths of game content creation and visual design, laying a foundation rooted in creativity and dedicated to enhancing player experience.

The Meaning Behind Our Name

“Mango” symbolizes vitality, passion, and boundless possibility. “Craft” represents the fundamental building unit—the very essence of the Minecraft world. Together, Mangocraft conveys our vision: to ignite creativity with passion, and to use blocks as the cornerstone of building vibrant digital worlds.

Our Philosophy: Discover With You

This is more than just a slogan—it is our guiding principle. We believe that the most remarkable ideas and experiences emerge from close interaction with players and communities. Our mission is to:

• Discover the charm of games: Exploring the limitless potential of play.

• Discover the joy of creation: Producing high-quality, heartfelt content.

• Discover the value of connection: Building platforms that bring like-minded players together to grow as one.

Our Core Creations

We currently focus on Minecraft, producing diverse works that help players explore stories and worlds while spreading the joy of creativity.

Our Virtual Persona: MangA 小阿芒（芒果姬）

Our Public Project: Mangocraft Fan Server

We proudly operate the Mangocraft Fan Server, a large-scale, non-profit Minecraft project that has been running stably for six years. Our core values are:

• Authentic gameplay: Preserving the essence of Minecraft’s exploration, survival, building, and social interaction—avoiding excessive modifications.

• Pure gaming environment: Fostering a fair, friendly, and supportive community atmosphere.

The Mangocraft team remains committed to the principle of “Discover Together”—continuing to create with heart and to nurture our community. We look forward to meeting more friends who love games and creativity, discovering new wonders both in the blocky world and in broader creative fields.
