01What is the server address?+
Join with play.carvermc.net in Minecraft Java Edition. The dedicated address uses the normal Minecraft port, so you do not need to enter a custom one.
02Which Minecraft version should I use?+
The current server version is Minecraft 26.1.2. Check live status or server news if you are returning after an update.
03Can Bedrock Edition join?+
CarverMC is currently a Java Edition server. Bedrock Edition cannot join.
04How do quests work?+
Open the Quest Atlas with /quests. There are 121 quests across 12 categories: 79 one-time quests and a 42-contract weekly pool. 6 daily choices rotate at midnight Eastern, and you can track up to three quests at once. The one-time catalog awards 300 Quest Points in total.
05What does /wild cost?+
Each wilderness trip costs $100. Traveler has a 5-second warm-up and a 5-minute cooldown. Save your base with /sethome base and use /home base to return to it.
06How do I afford and protect my first base?+
The six Journey quests pay $5,000 total, not an extra completion bonus. With your $250 starting balance and one $100 wilderness trip, that leaves $5,150 before other spending—enough for a $5,000 full-height claim. Land Claims is available from the start in /quests; its lessons teach selection, quoting and purchase. Follow the first-claim budget and example. The rules also prohibit griefing and theft on unclaimed builds.
07Are ranks purchased?+
No. The seven progression ranks—from Traveler to Legend—are earned in-game. They expand practical capacity such as homes and QuickShops and include earned kits. They do not grant creative mode, god mode, or staff powers.
08What does Legend require?+
Complete every Tier VIII profession quest, all six classic Mastery Challenges, Silence the Deep, and Frontier File I: The Claimless Ledger. You also need 50 hours of in-game play, then must craft two Netherite Blocks and a Recovery Compass. The five later Frontier Files, Golden Harvest, and Monster Menagerie are optional for Legend.
09Where are the vote links?+
You can vote on MinecraftServers.org and Planet Minecraft. Open the voting page, use your exact Java username, and vote once every 24 hours on each site for a Vote Crate key plus one random bonus.
10Is there a live world map?+
Not yet. The map page will have the link when it’s ready.
11Will the world reset?+
There is no published reset schedule. If a reset or major world change is planned, it will be announced in server news and Discord ahead of time.
12How do I report a player?+
Use /report <player> <category> <details> for a structured report, or /helpop <message> for immediate in-game help. Do not retaliate or publish private evidence in chat.
13How do I appeal a punishment?+
Choose Submit Appeal in Discord, select the platform and briefly explain what you want reviewed. Include your account name and a Case ID from bans.carvermc.net if available. A missing Case ID or unavailable lookup does not prevent an appeal. See support for the current access limits.
14What if the website says the server is offline?+
The label comes from a public Java status check. Refresh the stats page. If the server still looks unavailable, check Discord for maintenance or outage updates.
