Java, step by step
What the Add Server screen looks like, filled in.
Open Minecraft
Java Edition on version 1.21.11 or newer.
Add Server
Click Multiplayer, then Add Server. Name it whatever you like.
Paste the address
Server address:
play.zeropvp.xyzJoin
Click Done, then join. Right click the sword in the hub and pick a kit.
Any 1.21.11 or newer client works. You do not need a modded client or a resource pack, and you need a legitimate, paid Java account: cracked and shared accounts are not supported. Joining on another version through ViaFabric, ViaForge, ViaFabricPlus, Multiconnect or similar is not allowed.
03 Bedrock Edition
Bedrock: coming back soon
Bedrock support is being repaired and is coming back soon. Until then the address is not listed here. Once it is back, every menu opens as a Bedrock form. Voice chat is Java only.
Questions in the meantime? Open a ticket in the Discord.
04 Once you are in
The hub
You land in the hub holding a hotbar of menus. Nothing on it can be dropped or lost, and it comes straight back if it ever goes missing. There is no damage in the lobby.

05 Cannot connect
If you cannot connect
- Check your client is 1.21.11 or newer. An older version is the cause nine times out of ten.
- Type the address again with no spaces before or after it.
- Still stuck? Open a ticket in the Discord and say which version you are on.
A VPN or ExitLag needs an exception from staff first, and some mods are not allowed. Both are covered in the rules. More answers in the FAQ.
