Help the opening crew grow
Help new players find the valley.

Meet us in the valley.
Use the latest Java release or the current Bedrock release. No website purchase is needed to begin.
Before you enter.
Can Java and Bedrock players join together?
Yes. Java uses the default port. Bedrock uses port 19132. Both connect through play.shardvale.org.
Can I buy Dollars or paid advantages?
No. Dollars are a virtual in-game balance with no cash value. They are earned through play and cannot be purchased here.
Do RPG upgrades make the server pay-to-win?
No. The five paths improve movement and exploration utility only. They never add damage, armor, health, loot, or flight, and no rank can be bought with real money.
Is voice chat required?
No. Voice is optional. Run /voice in game when you want a private, short-lived browser link.
What happens the first time I join?
Accept the small Shardvale resource pack, create a unique in-game password, then open /menu for your starter path. Never reuse a password from another account.
