FAQ¶
General¶
What version of Minecraft is this?¶
NeoForge 1.21.1. Make sure your launcher is set to the correct version.
Is there a whitelist?¶
No. Anyone can join. The server uses online-mode=false.
How do I join?¶
Add the server in your multiplayer list:
How many players can join?¶
20 players maximum.
Is there voice chat?¶
Yes. Proximity voice chat is built into the modpack. Press V to open the voice chat menu.
Claims & PvP¶
How do I claim land?¶
Open the FTB Chunks map with M, then right-click chunks to claim them.
How many chunks can I claim?¶
250 chunks per team.
How many chunks can I force-load?¶
4 chunks per team. Force-loaded chunks stay active when no player is nearby.
Can I PvP anywhere?¶
PvP is enabled everywhere, but terrain destruction is disabled outside declared battle zones. You can shoot at players, but blocks are not destroyed.
How do I start a battle?¶
Coordinate with other teams. Designate a war zone or arena. Admins can enable terrain destruction in specific areas.
Progression¶
Where do I find iron?¶
Mine underground at Y=16 for the best iron distribution. Once you have Create, set up a mechanical drill on an iron vein for renewable iron.
How do I make steel?¶
Iron ingot + Charcoal dust in a heated Create mixer. You need brass production first (copper + zinc).
How do I get diamond ore?¶
Use a diamond drill on diamond ore veins. The basic drill cannot extract diamonds.
What is the best gun?¶
It depends on your situation:
- Handguns — cheap, good for early game
- Rifles (5.56, 7.62) — versatile, good all-rounders
- Machine guns — high fire rate, expensive
- Sniper rifles — long range, very expensive
- .50 BMG — anti-material, extremely expensive
How do I get ammo?¶
Craft it at the Gunsmith Table. Different calibers require different materials. See Warfare & Guns for full recipes.
Technical¶
The server is lagging. What do I do?¶
- Check if you have too many force-loaded chunks
- Reduce view distance in video settings
- Report persistent lag to an admin
I can't connect. What's wrong?¶
- Make sure you're using the correct address:
ciw.mc.jimmybinoculars.org.uk - Check that your Minecraft version is NeoForge 1.21.1
- Try restarting your launcher
- Check if the server is online (ask in Discord)
Can I run a shop or trade with other players?¶
Yes. Use chest shops or trade directly. There is no economy plugin — trade is player-to-player.
Can I build in the End or Nether?¶
Yes, but claims work the same way. Use FTB Chunks to claim land in any dimension.
How do I report a griefer?¶
Take screenshots and report to an admin. CoreProtect tracks all block changes for 90 days, so rollbacks are possible.
