NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT SERVICE. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

History Is Player-Made

On a civ server, staff don't write the story. Players do: every border, every treaty, every betrayal. The world you log into tomorrow is the one everyone built today.

I

Settle

Carve a home out of the wild. Turn a dirt hut into a walled city whose streets outlast the people who founded it.

II

Govern

Write the constitution. Hold the election. Crown a king, form a council, or overthrow both. Every government here was invented by a player.

III

Trade

Control the roads. Set tariffs at your borders and tax every shipment that passes through. Build an economy your rivals depend on, or starve them out with an embargo.

IV

Conquer

Forge alliances, break treaties, and march to war. The victors write the history books. The fallen become legends.

How a World Unfolds

There is only one map, and nobody knows how its story ends. Here is how it might begin.

  1. Day 1

    The Scramble

    Everyone spawns with nothing. The first alliances are made over a shared furnace.

  2. Week 1

    First Walls

    Camps become towns. Towns elect leaders. Somebody drafts the first law.

  3. Month 1

    Borders & Tariffs

    Toll roads, trade pacts, and embassies. The first trade war starts over a tax on diamonds.

  4. Year 1

    Empires

    Nations swallow nations. Alliances harden into blocs. War is declared.

  5. Year 10

    Legacy

    Dynasties, ruins, and rivalries older than most players. Where does your name end up?

Built for a Decade

Most servers are built for a season. DevotedMC is one world with no resets, ever, balanced to last ten years. Progression, resources, and the economy are tuned for the long game, so what you build has time to matter: cities that grow for years, trade routes that outlive their founders, and grudges with real history behind them.

Launch Day

1:00 PM Eastern · 5:00 PM UTC · 6:00 PM UK · 7:00 PM Central Europe

  1. Add the server now. Put play.devotedmc.com in your multiplayer list on Java Edition 1.21.11. It opens at launch.
  2. Join the Discord. Launch announcements, nation recruiting, and the full rules all live there.
  3. Read the rules. The main ones are below. Ignorance won't save you from a ban.

Main Community Rules

What happens to your character is the game. What happens to you is not. You can be robbed, besieged, betrayed, imprisoned, and driven off your land. That is the server working as intended. None of it permits anything aimed at the person behind the account.

These come from the Xbox Community Standards and the Minecraft Community Standards. We can't waive them, and neither can you.

  1. No hate speech, harassment, bullying, threats, or sexual solicitation. Zero tolerance: a single message is enough.
  2. Trash talk is about the game. Harassment is about the person. Anything aimed at someone's race, gender, sexuality, age, appearance, religion, or disability is not allowed.
  3. No content promoting terrorism or violent extremism.
  4. No encouraging self-harm, including telling someone to "kys".
  5. No doxxing. Sharing or threatening to share anyone's real-world information is a permanent ban on the first offence.
  6. No cheating, hacked clients, x-ray, or duping. Report exploits instead. Verified reports are rewarded in game.
  7. No fraud: no account sales, account sharing, or impersonating staff. One account per person, and no ban evasion.
  8. No real-world politics or religion. In-game nations, wars, treaties, and tariffs are the game. Real-world arguments belong elsewhere.
  9. No DDoS, malware, or interfering with anyone's connection.
  10. Every player needs a genuine, paid Minecraft account and must be at least 13.
  11. Our Discord is part of the server. Every rule applies there, along with Discord's own Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

Duping, doxxing, and serious cheating are permanent bans, and the groups involved can be banned with them. Punishments may come without warning, and any sanction can be appealed through Discord.

These are the main rules, not all of them. The full rules, covering mods, bots, the starter world, and enforcement, are in our Discord. They apply from your first login.

Report a Player

If someone is breaking the rules or making you feel unsafe, tell us:

You can also use Minecraft's built-in chat reporting and block tools. Think a punishment was a mistake? Appeal through a Discord ticket. The Discord stays open to you for appeals, even if you're banned in game.

Privacy

We collect only what we need to run the server: your Minecraft username and account ID, IP address (for security and bans), and chat and gameplay logs (for moderation). Messages in our Discord are kept for 90 days and used only for moderation. Staff will never ask for your real name or personal details. Patreon handles all payments, so we never see your card details. We do not sell your data.

DevotedMC is for players 13 and older. To ask about or delete your data, email [email protected].

The World Is Waiting

Its first city hasn't been founded yet. Its first war hasn't been fought. Its history starts with you.
