Joining the server
You need Minecraft Java 26.3. The server does not support Bedrock or other versions, and you do not need any mods. In Multiplayer, add a server with the address play.overwilds.com and connect.
When you join, the server's resource pack downloads. It is required: it holds the models, the furniture, the interface and the menus. If you decline it you cannot play, so accept it when the game asks.
Your account and password
If your account is not premium, the first time type , with the same password twice. From then on, every time you join type . Until you log in you cannot move or chat.
- The password is 6 to 30 characters long.
- You have 60 seconds to log in after connecting.
- After 5 failed attempts the account is locked for 15 minutes.
- If you come back within 30 minutes from the same connection, you get in without typing it.
With a premium Minecraft account you can use so the server recognises you and stops asking for a password. changes it whenever you like.
The Starter Path
You appear in the Refuge, the city at the centre of the world. There, four characters teach you the basics in about 10 to 15 minutes, without you having to type commands. The one you need at each moment has “▼ Talk to me!” above them, and a panel at the top of the screen tells you what to do.
- Ilse, the Guide: welcomes you and explains the path.
- Bruna, the Smith: hands you the starter kit and the Return Stone.
- Nilo, the Cartographer: takes you to a free spot in the world to look for land.
- Tomás, the Warden: gives you the Claim Stake and the materials for your first PowerCell.
You claim your land by planting the Stake with a right click, light the PowerCell with coal, go back to the Refuge to decide whether you join a tribe, and at the end Ilse lets you choose a path: Warrior, Builder or Merchant. Each comes with its own kit, and none is a class: you can do everything.
What you carry
The starter kit has a stone sword, pickaxe, axe and shovel, leather armour and 16 bread. You can claim it again once a day with .
The path kits are one-off:
- Warrior: iron sword, shield, bow, 32 arrows and 2 golden apples.
- Builder: iron axe, 64 oak logs, 64 stone blocks, 32 glass and 16 torches.
- Merchant: 16 emeralds, 16 iron ingots, 16 copper ingots and 16 bread.

Talking to people
