Reopened 16 February 2026 running steadily ever since

OverWorld.

A vanilla survival land untouched by pay-to-win or rule-breaking

A survival server run by two students. We keep the gameplay vanilla and only add helper plugins; nothing that affects balance is for sale. We just want to keep a free, friendly corner of the world for people who love Minecraft.

The address is only posted in the QQ group announcement (anti-scan)

Why OverWorld

Why OverWorld

No gimmicks, no cash shop. We just take proper care of what vanilla survival should feel like.

Vanilla survival, no overhauls

No balance-changing plugins. Redstone, mob farms and villager trading all work exactly as vanilla intends, so every vanilla trick you know still pays off here.

No cash shop, no paid perks

There is no top-up page, no VIP, no paid permissions — every part of the game is open to everyone. Running costs are covered by the owner alone, and nothing that affects balance is for sale.

Admins take turns being online

Five admins rotate through the day. Griefing, stuck chunks, disconnects — say a word in the group and someone will deal with it.

Friendly community, no hostility

The group is active and happy to help newcomers. Insults and deliberate destruction are not allowed; disputes are handled by the admins, never by revenge.

Vanilla performance, server-side care

The server runs Paper, so performance and stability come from the server itself. Plugins are only used to detect cheating such as x-ray — nothing that changes how the game plays.

Build anywhere, no forced claims

Pick a spot outside spawn and build. Land claims are not forced and nothing is charged; just keep your distance from other people's builds and that patch is yours.

How to join

Join in four steps

No mods and no money needed — any device that can run Minecraft will do.

1

Join the QQ group

Server news, the address and any problems can all be sorted out in the group. Tap the "Join QQ group" button on this page, or search for group number 1085255732 in QQ.

When you join, mention which video platform you came from — it makes approval easier.
2

The address is in the group announcement

Once you are in the group, the server address is in the announcement. If you cannot find it, @ the owner or message an admin and someone will send it. (To keep scanners and attackers away the address is not published on this page.)

The port is the default 25565, so just paste the address into the game and you are in.
3

Add the server in game

Open Minecraft Java Edition → Multiplayer → Add Server → name it anything (OverWorld, for example) → paste the address from the announcement → Done.

Any Java Edition from 1.21 to 26.2 can join.
4

Land, look around, pick your spot

You will spawn at the spawn point. Wander around, find a patch you like and start building. If you get lost or do not know where to begin, ask in the group — veterans are happy to show you around.

Worth reading the server rules first to avoid misunderstandings.

Rules

Server rules

Only four hard lines; the rest is common sense.

  1. 1

    No cheating

    Hacked clients, x-ray, auto-clickers, flight, auto-mining and similar third-party tools are all banned. Anyone caught using them is banned on the spot.

  2. 2

    No griefing

    Do not take other people's builds apart, do not steal their items, and do not enter someone's base without permission. Destroying what others built has no excuse.

  3. 3

    Be civil

    No insults, personal attacks, spam, advertising, sexual or political topics. If there is a conflict, bring it to an admin instead of taking revenge.

  4. 4

    Follow the admins

    Staff may also act on harmful behaviour that is not listed here. If you disagree with a punishment, talk to us privately instead of ruining the game for everyone else.

How violations are handled

  • Verbal warning

    Minor: spam, or careless damage to a small area around spawn. An admin will remind you and set a deadline to fix it.

  • Temporary ban

    Moderate: theft, deliberate destruction of builds, insulting others. Banned for a period depending on the case, and required to compensate or restore.

  • Permanent ban

    Severe: hacked clients / x-ray, large-scale destruction, scams, ban evasion. Removed from the server for good.

Violations are warned or banned according to the circumstances; the final say rests with the server admins. Rules may change as the server evolves — the latest announcement in the group is authoritative.

FAQ

FAQ

The questions new players ask most, all answered here.

What is the server address, and why is it not on this page?
To protect the server from scanners and attacks the address is not published here. Join the QQ group 1085255732 and you will find it in the group announcement.
Do I need a premium (paid) account?
No. Both premium and offline clients can join, and no mods are needed. If you log in offline, tell the group your in-game ID after joining so the admins know who you are.
Which client version should I use?
The server itself runs 26.2 with cross-version support, so any Java Edition client from 1.21 to 26.2 can connect directly. You do not need to change versions.
Can I play on my phone (Bedrock Edition)?
OverWorld is a Java Edition server, so Bedrock clients cannot connect directly. To play on a phone you need a launcher environment that supports Java Edition — ask in the group for details.
Does it cost anything? Is there a VIP?
No charge. There is no top-up page, no VIP and no paid permissions — everything is open to everyone, and the owner covers all running costs.
Can I bring a friend?
Of course — friends are welcome. Send them the group number so they can join the group and get the address too. Please do not repost the address on public platforms.
What do I do if someone destroys my build?
Take screenshots first and then @ the owner in the group with the coordinates and the time; the admins will check and handle it. Do not take revenge yourself — that is also a violation.
Will the server keep running?
Since August 2025 there was one break, but the team has kept it running ever since. As long as people still want to log in, OverWorld stays open.
