Levels & Progression
Your level is on the sidebar. In Season 3 it measures what you’ve done this season: the advancements you’ve earned and the time you’ve actually played.
How the level is calculated
You earn XP (level XP, not Minecraft’s experience bar):
- 10 XP for every advancement
- 6 XP for every hour played this season
Level = 1 + √(XP ÷ 5) (rounded down)
| Level XP | Level | For example |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 2 | your first advancement |
| 80 | 5 | 6 advancements and 3½ hours |
| 405 | 10 | 30 advancements and 18 hours |
| 1,805 | 20 | 120 advancements and 100 hours |
Playtime from earlier seasons doesn’t count — everyone starts Season 3 at level 1. The sidebar’s Playtime row shows your Season 3 time.
What levels give you
More land. You start with 5 claimable chunks, and every level adds 2 more, up to 150. Level 10 means 23 chunks; level 20 means 43. See claims.
A reward for every level, delivered to your mailbox (/mail) with a ping
when it arrives. Every 5th level is a milestone and comes with bonus items —
4 diamonds and 16 bottles o’ enchanting.
Levels don't give spurs
The only ways to earn spurs from the server itself are your starter kit and voting. The rest of the economy is between players. See economy.
AFK time doesn’t count
Idle for 10 minutes and you’re marked AFK: that time stops counting toward your playtime, and you’re sent back to the lobby. Come back and press Join to carry on.
Standing in a base while a farm runs isn’t playing, and an AFK jiggler won’t beat it.
Playtime and the leaderboard
/leaderboard in Discord ranks the top 10 by playtime. Link your account with
/link to appear on it — unlinked players are never mentioned by the bot.
Seasons
The server runs in seasons. A new season resets the world so everyone starts on fresh terrain together.
What carries across a season boundary:
- Your account, password and skin — you don’t re-register
- Your lifetime playtime and veteran status. Time served is never wiped
- Season 1 veterans who never collected their thank-you reward got it in their Season 3 mailbox — scaled by Season 1 hours
What doesn’t: your builds, your items, your claims and your level. Those belong to the world that ended.
We’re now in Season 3. Season endings are announced well ahead in Discord — nobody gets surprised by one.
