The Jerry Conflict was the first ever canon conflict on the server that primarily happened between Lucky, his pet Jerry, and Pivotal concerning how the rivalry between Lucky and Pivotal escalated to Pivotal kidnapping Jerry. Lucky went to fight Pivotal for Jerry back but ended up falling into a trap and getting abducted by Pivotal.

Somehow Dev found out that Lucky was captured by Pivotal and came to his and Jerry's rescue. He confronted Pivotal and killed him, taking his last canon life until he was later revived. Jerry and Lucky were freed from Pivotal's Secret Base and returned safely back to Hardcore SMP, ending the Jerry Conflict.

***Status:*** *Complete*

***Results:** America* *becomes the first independent nation on Hardcore SMP, WeirdApe, Lucky, and Pivotal's Spirit each lose one canon life.*

The War for America's Independence is one of the biggest wars that have occurred on the Hardcore SMP, which is responsible for the creation of America as an independent country. The conflict started after Dev heard that WeirdApe declared independence from Hardcore SMP, angering Dev enough to declare war on America. After a bow showdown between the two sides resulting in one canonical death from all the belligerents on America's side and the partial destruction of America from TNT, WeirdApe surrendered to Dev. However, Pivotal's Spirit offered to trade Pivotal's old armor, sword, totem of undying, and shield in exchange for America's independence, which Dev agreed to. This put the Hardcore SMP vs. America War to an end.

### The Exile Conflict

***Date:*** *June or July 2021*

***Status:*** *Complete*

***Results:*** *PolarIce is exiled from New Vegas, Lucky becomes the Vice President of New Vegas*

The Exile Conflict was a conflict involving PolarIce, Lucky, and President WeirdApe of New Vegas concerning PolarIce's exile from New Vegas. It started when PolarIce told WeirdApe that Lucky had burned down his house, but WeirdApe believed that Lucky hadn't done this and exiled PolarIce for assuming that PolarIce was trying to frame a citizen of New Vegas.

PolarIce then built a house overlooking New Vegas on a hill, but Lucky came over and harassed PolarIce all the time. After several build battles resulting in PolarIce dying, he got sick of Lucky's torment and abandoned the house to make a new one close outside of New Vegas. But after Lucky blew this house up, PolarIce ran into the woods near New Vegas to plan his future.

The Heroes vs. Villains War was a war that occurred on the Hardcore SMP between the Heroes Pact and the Villains Pact. The war was declared on the Villains by the Heroes with the goal of destroying the Villains Pact after hearing their plans. After Dev and Lucky freed DexDude after WeirdApe attempted to hold him hostage, WeirdApe was put into custody while PolarIce was making his way to WeirdApe. While he was in custody, DexDude appeared from nowhere while invisible and killed him, taking his second canon life. After he respawned, WeirdApe was taken back to prison by PolarIce and kept there until he eventually committed suicide. During the aftermath of the war, Dev, Lucky, and PolarIce met and officially formed the Heroes Pact to ensure that terrorists like the Villains would never arise on Hardcore SMP again.

### War for Kinoko Kingdom

The War for Kinoko Kingdom was the third war that occurred on the server. It was declared on Kinoko Kingdom by Hardcore Empire after they betrayed Kinoko Kingdom during DexDude's speech and Kinoko Kingdom still refused to give up their kingdom. Hardcore Empire attacked Kinoko Kingdom on July 25, 2023 with no warning. DexDude was eventually killed in the scrimmage which forced Kinoko Kingdom to surrender. Kinoko Kingdom was then officially claimed by Hardcore Empire and DexDude was detained and led to Atlantis' Palace. Dev said that there would be no more kings in Kinoko Kingdom since it was now a district, but he said PolarIce was still the Protector of Kinoko Kingdom for the Heroes. During the aftermath of the war, the members of Hardcore Empire took down the wall that Kinoko Kingdom had built for the war and started settling in Kinoko.
