Proximity voice
Conversation has distance.
Whisper nearby, talk normally across a room, or project your voice farther. Audio is positional, encrypted, and optional for every player.

Minecraft Java 26.2
A world built to be shared.
Survival with voice that travels through space, structures worth finding, railways worth building, and enough safeguards to let the world get chaotic.
The experience
Vanilla at heart.
Much more alive.
OSDCraft keeps the familiar survival loop intact, then adds the systems that make a private world feel like a place: natural conversation, hidden landmarks, public transport, shared events, and tools that protect what players create.
Exploration
103 more reasons to wander.
BetterStructures places new ruins, mines, islands, tombs, farms, wells, graveyards and landmarks into unexplored terrain.

TrainCarts
Build a network, not just a track.

From launcher to world
in a few minutes.
Official or third-party launcher, the process is the same. Use Java Edition, select the right game version, and protect your username when you arrive.
Required
Launch Minecraft Java 26.2.
Use a plain Fabric profile or the Fabulously Optimized 26.2 pack. Fabulously Optimized is recommended for smoother performance and does not change gameplay.

Fabric supported
Required
Add one address.
Open Multiplayer, choose Add Server, and enter the hostname below. The standard Minecraft port is discovered automatically.
Required on first join
Make the username yours.
Because offline launchers are supported, the server uses AuthMe passwords to stop anyone else from claiming your name, inventory or permissions.
Use a unique password. Staff will never ask for it. Same-IP sessions remain active for seven days.
Optional, recommended
Install Plasmo Voice.
Download the Fabric 26.2 client JAR, place it inside your instance's mods folder, restart the game, join, and press V.
- Open your launcher instance folder.
- Move the downloaded JAR into
mods. - Restart Minecraft and join OSDCraft.
- Press V to select microphone and output.
Optional
Carry a local map.
Xaero's Minimap and World Map are optional Fabric client mods. They store your own waypoints and explored terrain locally.
One-command setup
Let the machine
find the right folder.
The bootstrapper locates a compatible Minecraft 26.2 instance, backs up older Plasmo Voice files, verifies the official JAR checksum, and installs it without touching your other mods.

Under the world
Built to survive
the worst day ever.
Authentication sessions
Trusted same-IP players are not asked for a password every time they reconnect.
Grief history
Block placement, removal, fire, explosions and liquid flow remain available for rollback.

A consistent server archive is created nightly with seven daily recovery points.
Java allocation
Paper runs on Java 25 with a controlled heap sized for the current community.
Questions
Know before
you join.
Do I need a paid Minecraft account?
No. The server supports third-party Java launchers. Because Mojang authentication is disabled, every username is protected with an AuthMe password registered on first join.
Are client mods mandatory?
No. A normal Java client can join and play. Plasmo Voice is required only for proximity voice, while Xaero's maps are entirely optional.
Why should I use Minecraft 26.2?
It is the server's native version and provides the most accurate items, entities and mechanics. ViaBackwards may support older versions, but 26.2 is the recommended experience.
Can players without voice chat still join?
Yes. They play normally and simply do not hear or transmit proximity audio. The client mod is never enforced.
What happens if the world is griefed?
Admins can use GriefLog to roll back a selected area and time period. For larger incidents, nightly full-server snapshots provide another recovery layer.
Where do new structures appear?
Only in chunks generated after BetterStructures was installed. Existing terrain remains untouched, so travel into unexplored areas to discover them.
