Welcome!

This page contains important information about the server that you need to be aware of before you can play. Please read it!

Before You Play

  • You must be invited by someone already in the server to play
  • When you first join, you’ll be asked to create a password to protect your account. REMEMBER THIS PASSWORD - IT CANNOT BE RECOVERED!

How to Play

Join via EaglerCraft

  1. Open EaglerCraft: WASM version or JS version if WASM doesn’t work
  2. Wait for it to load
  3. Click “Done” to ignore profanity filter
  4. Choose your username and skin
  5. Tell someone currently on the server to invite your username using /invite <your username>
  6. Click “Multiplayer”
  7. Click “Add Server”
  8. Type in the IP: wss://mc.lincolnmaxwell.com
  9. Add the server and play!

Join via Java Edition

  • All versions 1.8+ are supported
  • Join via IP: mc.lincolnmaxwell.com

Rules

You will be removed from the server if you break any of these rules

  1. Be a good person: be nice, kind, respectful, etc. Don’t grief just outside someone’s land claim - that’s just rude. Don’t scam people.
  2. Do not abuse glitches in the economy or the system as a whole: report them to Lincoln, otherwise you’re at a disadvantage to getting to the top of /baltop
  3. Don’t be the one responsible for the server getting shut down in any way (hacking, tampering, etc.): Don’t be the one who ruins the fun
  4. Be inclusive: Invite people who want in! IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS:
    • You cannot take away an invite once you give it!
    • You are responsible for the people you invite. If your invitee breaks server rules, your own standing may be at risk
    • Do not invite yourself - you are allowed ONLY one account
  5. No unfair advantages: Auto clicking and hacking are lame. Also, if you try to xray, it won’t work
