Welcome to Blockville
What Blockville is, how the network is laid out, and how to move around it.
#What is Blockville?
Blockville is a Survival Box SMP: you get your own personal Box to build and grow, a busy spawn with shops, a bank and daily rewards, and a community of players to trade, team up and play minigames with.
Everything runs on one connected network, so your money, homes, level and cosmetics follow you wherever you go.
#How to join
| Address | Port | |
|---|---|---|
| Java Edition (1.21 or newer) | play.blockville.org |

- Open Minecraft and add a server with the address above (on Bedrock also enter the port).
- Join, and accept the server resource pack when asked. It is needed for custom items, menus and music.
- Follow the intro, then create your Box. See Your First Steps.
Bedrock players don't need a Java account.
#The three servers
| Server | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Hub | The entry point. You pass through here when you connect. |
| Spawn | The main lobby and economy server: shop, bank, crates, fishing, farming, the Fountain, the Daily menu and the Credit Shop. |
| Box | Where the personal Boxes live. This is where you build. |
Tip You never need to remember which server you are on. Commands like
/home,/back,/tpaand/paywork across all of them.
#Moving between servers
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/spawn |
Go to spawn. From the Box server this sends you across to the spawn server. |
/box |
Open the Box Menu (teleport, border color, upgrades, teams, stats). |
/boxhome |
Teleport straight to your own Box. |
/boxes or /is |
Jump to the Box server with no menu. |
/hub |
Go back to the hub. |
/menu |
Open the main menu, with buttons for the shop, warps, your Box and more. |
Moving between servers has a short cooldown (about 5 seconds) and a brief "Traveling..." screen.
#Rejoining
The network remembers where you logged out. When you come back you are put back where you were, as long as it was within the last 7 days.
#Playing on Bedrock
Bedrock players can join too, with no Java account needed. A server resource pack is required so that custom items, menus and music display correctly. Accept it when prompted.
