Community & Communication
Discord, in-game chat, and staying connected
Discord is where the community lives. Here's how we stay connected.
Discord
This is where most communication happens. It's the best way to:
- Chat with other players (even when you're not in-game)
- Ask questions and get help
- Share screenshots and builds
- Coordinate group activities
- Stay updated on server news
If you haven't joined yet, check your approval email or the status page for the invite link.
In-Game Chat
When you're online, chat works as you'd expect. A few notes:
- Be friendly. Say hi when you log in, wave goodbye when you leave.
- Ask for help. If you're stuck, someone's probably happy to assist.
- Don't spam. Normal conversation is fine, but keep it reasonable.
Chat Bridging
In-game chat and Discord are linked. Messages in the Minecraft channel on Discord appear in-game, and vice versa. So even if no one's online, someone might see your message.
Getting to Know People
Some ways to connect:
- Introduce yourself in Discord. Share a bit about yourself, your Minecraft history, what you like to build.
- Visit other players' builds. Compliment their work. Ask about their projects.
- Collaborate. Offer to help with community projects or team up on something.
- Share your progress. Post screenshots in Discord. People love seeing what others are working on.
Activity Levels
Server activity varies. Sometimes it's bustling, sometimes it's quiet. Both are normal.
- Peak times are usually evenings and weekends (European time zones, mostly).
- Quiet periods are great for focused building.
- Discord is always active even when the server is quiet.
Don't be discouraged if you log in and no one's online. Check Discord - people might just be taking a break.
Events
Occasionally we do group activities - dragon fights, exploring new updates, building challenges. These are announced in Discord. Join if you're around - no pressure.
