Enhancements & Customization
We've modified the game in a way that complements vanilla Minecraft without drastically affecting its gameplay mechanics or aesthetics. Our goal is to enhance your experience while maintaining expectations and without providing any advantages. Consider it vanilla with sprinkles!
Altered Gameplay
We’ve chosen to alter some gameplay mechanics to prevent accidental griefing, make multiplayer simpler, and elevate gameplay.
Fire spread has been disabled, allowing you to build without the fear of losing your work to a fire.
Endermen do not pick up blocks, meaning they won't dissolve the landscape over time.
Night will pass with only one player sleeping. It’s easier to ask folks to not sleep than to coordinate everyone to sleep!
Zombies do not break wooden doors. Your builds (and villagers) are safe from their casual griefing.
Ender pearls do not vanish when you die. Enjoy stress free technical use of ender pearl chunk loading.
Additional Content
With these expansions you can breathe more life into your builds or whatever you may fancy.
Nametags - You can “mute”, “unmute”, and “unname” mobs using these names. Muting and unmuting won't change their name!

Head Drops - All mobs drop their heads when killed to varying degrees of rarity. Players will always drop their head!

Chat Commands
There are a variety of commands available to all players. They provide utilities and minor extensions to gameplay.
/afk - Mark yourself as AFK. This happens automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. This is AFK farm friendly with automated click options!
/mail - Check your mailbox on Spawn Island. Don’t have one? Pay the post office a visit to claim your own!

/trigger duraPing - Configure your durability ping settings. This alerts you when your items are about to break. Off by default.

Discord Commands
Our custom Discord bot provides some utility commands, a user context menu, and a live chat bridge as well!
/minecraft join <ign> - This is how you add your Java account to our whitelist! Replace <ign> with your Java account name.
/minecraft leave - Should you wish to remove yourself from our server, this is how you do so.
/minecraft whois <ign> - Want to know what a player’s Discord is? Replace <ign> with their in-game name and the bot will let you know!
To get someone’s Minecraft name, right click them in our Discord, then go to “apps” and select “Get Minecraft in-game name“!
Customize Your Experience
We encourage you to customize your game to improve your experience. The Minecraft community is vast and provides tons of amazing resources! Here are some of our favorites for you to consider. We don’t tolerate cheating and will moderate such. That said, there is a large gray area so it never hurts to ask (e.g. mini-maps and schematics are fine, but bot automation is not).
Client-Side Mods
There are many modding APIs out there, all of which work just fine when playing on our server. Personally, we prefer to use Fabric for its lightweight approach and available mods. Of all the mods out there, we suggest the following for everyday use.
