Why is StarCraft spelled with a capital "C", but Warcraft isn't?

Because "Warcraft" is an english word. You can look it up in a dictionary.
StarCraft, on the other hand, isnt a real word. Its just the words "Star" and "Craft" put together.

Warcraft is a real English word...?
Are you sure...?o_O If it's true, why does Ms. Word and this forum gives a red line under words of "Warcraft"...?

When I put it into a translation machine it translates to a word similar to "Art of War" or "Craft of War".
That is, the kind of stuff high ranked military commanders have to learn.

When I put "warcraft" into a translater is gives me "warcraft" no matter what language I choose to translate into.
While I still agree with Accname that a rough translation must be the craft of war.
However. Warcraft in the sense of the game is actually spelled "WarCraft" with a capital "C".
