How do I join?

Minecraft: Java Edition, any version from 1.10 to 26.3 (the world runs on 1.21.11; other versions are translated). Add a server with the address trenchmc.org.

Can Bedrock players join?

Yes. On phone, tablet or Windows Bedrock: Play → Servers → Add Server, address play.trenchmc.org, port 19132. You sign in with your Microsoft account; no Java copy needed. Bedrock names show up with a dot in front (.name). Xbox, PlayStation and Switch can't add custom servers without workarounds.

Are hacked clients allowed?

Yes. Meteor, Future, Rusher, Baritone, elytra fly, auto-totem, freecam: use whatever you want. The server has no movement checks and doesn't care what your client calls itself.

Will the map ever reset?

No. The world started in 2026 and it will not be wiped, trimmed, or "refreshed."

Someone destroyed my base. Can I get my stuff back?

No. Nothing is rolled back, refunded, or restored for anyone. Hide better next time. Build farther out, tell fewer people, and keep a stash nobody knows about.

Where is spawn? What is there?

Around 0,0, and nothing. It has been dug, burned, and blown up. Walk out a few thousand blocks before you settle. The nether roof is open for travel.

Why is there a queue?

The map has a player cap so the server stays playable. When it's full, you wait in a dark void and see your position and an estimate. Stay connected and you'll be let in in order. If the server restarts while you're playing, you're held in the queue and put back first.

What does priority get me?

You skip the regular queue. Nothing else: no rank, no tag, no color, no kit, no commands. See priority.

The server is lagging. What's happening?

When TPS drops below 15, the server goes into a "degraded" mode until it recovers. Lag machines get throttled, crowded mob farms pause, natural spawning stops, and elytra flight is slowed so the world can catch up generating chunks. You'll see a note on your action bar.

What commands are there?

/msg and /r to whisper, /ignore to stop seeing someone, /togglechat to hide public chat, /kill to start over, /joindate, /playtime, /queue. That's all of them.

Why don't I see join, leave or death messages?

They're off. Who is on and who just died is for you to find out.

Who runs this?

One person, on their own hardware, at their own expense. No company, no network, no investors. The server, panel, and plugins are all written in-house.

Is there a Discord?

Not yet. When there is one, it will be linked here.
