Joining + Quick Start Tips

Connecting to the Server

The IP is mc.NostalgiaCraft.fun, the server supports both Java and Bedrock crossplay. However, if you are on Bedrock edition, you will need to use 25565 for your port.

Getting Started on the Server

It’s incredibly simple to get yourself started on NostalgiaCraft. The recommended method to get started is to use the /wild command to be teleported out of spawn and into the wilderness.

Afterward, as long as you’re 700 blocks away from the middle of spawn, you are free to get started, and won’t be affected by spawn graylist restrictions. It is only recommended to do /wild to make your starter base to gather resources.

Building a Final Base

Stealing and PvP outside of spawn is allowed, so be careful! Making a well-hidden final base is crucial. NostalgiaCraft’s massive world size allows you to hide your base far away from spawn, and be able to teleport to it with /home. Here are some tips:

Don’t build your base at obvious coordinates or on an axis (for example 10k, 10k)
Don’t build your base exactly at the world border
Remove your nether portal on the nether side (set a home in the overworld and remove the portal then do /home)
Don’t build a gold farm or any nether project at your base’s nether coordinates
Put valuables in an enderchest, spawn has some (enderchests have 27 slots, if you use shulkers for all 27 slots, you can store 27 x 27 = 729 slots of items)

Making Your Base Far From Spawn

Obtain 10 obsidian, flint and steel
Access the nether roof (the nether hub has a stairway to the bedrock roof; there is also an enderpearl dispenser at the bottom of the stairway)
Travel to desired overworld coordinates (the recommended distance to build your final base is 10,000+ blocks away from spawn)
Build a nether portal and enter the nether portal to Overworld
Set a home with /sethome in the Overworld
Re-enter nether portal, destroy the portal on the nether side
Teleport to Overworld side using /home

Trust, Reputation, and Betrayal

Even though we allow stealing and PvP outside of spawn, because we are a community-based server, we have a reputation system. More experienced players know who is hostile and who is friendlier and trustworthy. If you are a new player, it can help to ask around before trusting anyone! Many people will try to lure you out of spawn or bait you to kill you for your gear, be careful. If you do NOT know the person you are interacting with well, meeting them out of spawn or inviting them to your base/location puts YOU at risk! Here are some common scams/tricks some players may attempt:

Luring you to a certain location (“come to X Y Z”, “help me im at X Y Z”, etc.)
Pretending to want to join your team to get your base location
Asking you to drop certain items for them to “take a look”
Anything that seems out of the ordinary, suspicious, or too good to be true
