FAQ

Can I play without buying Minecraft?

Yes. The server is hybrid — premium and offline (non-premium) accounts both join at the same address, and offline players get the same features, including custom skins via /skin.

Offline players set a password on first join with /register <password> <password> (the same password twice) and use /login <password> afterwards.

The server list shows 0 players — is it dead?

Usually it means maintenance or an update, not that nobody plays. Check Discord for live status — that’s where restart and downtime notices go.

How much RAM should I give it?

8 GB for most people. If your PC has 32 GB or more, 10–12 GB is fine and helps with Distant Horizons and big ships. Never give Minecraft more than about half your PC’s memory — the graphics driver and Distant Horizons need memory outside it, and starving them crashes the game with no crash report. Details on performance.

Where’s my starter kit?

In your mailbox — type /mail. Season 3 rewards don’t drop into your inventory; they wait in the mail until you claim them. See economy.

Why can’t I /tpa?

It’s switched off for Season 3 — it’s a world to cross, not skip. /spawn, /home (to your bed), /rtp (random wilderness teleport, every 15 minutes) and /back (to where you died, every 3 minutes) work. See commands.

Why do I have to stand still during /rtp?

The server is preparing your destination before it moves you — that’s what stops new terrain hitching for everyone else. Moving cancels it, but a cancelled teleport doesn’t use up your cooldown.

Why does the game take so long to load?

It’s a 180+ mod pack with heavy worldgen and Distant Horizons. The first launch is the slowest; on Modrinth it’s also when a few extra mods download — launch, close, and launch again. See getting-started.

Why can’t I break my own blocks?

Almost always a claim. Land claims are full-height columns, so you can be inside someone else’s claim while flying well above their build. See claims.

When can I go to the Nether? The End?

The Nether opens Wednesday 8 October at 18:30 IST — 24 hours after launch. The End is closed for now. When it opens, the dragon’s island can never be claimed.

How do levels work now?

Advancements plus your Season 3 playtime. Everyone started Season 3 at level 1, and each level gives you more land and a mailed reward. See progression.

Can I use my own mods?

Client-side visual mods are usually fine. Anything giving an unfair advantage — x-ray, radar, cheat clients — gets you removed.

The in-game updater manages the mods folder and removes older duplicate versions of pack mods, so keep any additions to things the pack doesn’t already ship.

What happens when I die?

Your items stay in a corpse where you died, so you can go back for them. /back takes you there (every 3 minutes), and you arrive as a ghost so nothing can hurt you while you collect your things.

Do I lose my stuff if I log out in combat?

Yes. Disconnecting while combat-tagged kills you and drops your items where the fight was. Don’t combat log.

Is there a quest book?

Not in Season 3 at launch. If that changes it’ll be announced in Discord.

Can I play in VR?

Not in Season 3 — VR support isn’t part of the current pack.

I’m stuck / fell somewhere I can’t get out of

Ask in Discord with your coordinates. Staff can move you.

How do I link my Discord?

Run /link <code> in Discord — the code comes from in-game. Linking makes your messages show your server identity in chat, and gets you on /leaderboard.
