Minecraft Server

We've added Bedrock Access!

• If you have a Pocket Edition account (app/tablet account), you'll be able to join the library server!
• You'll still need to fill out an application to get access (see below).

We’re currently playing virtually every week from 3:00-4:30pm (rotating days)!

• Check the online calendar to see what day of the week Minecraft is on.
• No registration required – if you have server access, just jump online!
• Need access? See the section below for info!
• Teen Librarian Robin will share the Zoom meeting ID & password in each Minecraft session.

The Morse Library Minecraft server is a safe and free place for Natick Teens & Tweens to play Minecraft together! The server is open to Teens & Tweens in Grades 4-12. Our server is open 24/7 and can be accessed remotely; you do not need to be at the library.
 

MINECRAFT MAPS

1) Mayhem - our brand new all Survival, all PVP world - with Quests!

• This world is a lot more lawless & "wild" than our regular world
• Creative mode does NOT exist in Mayhem & there are no "time-outs" unless you negotiate them with other players.
• Keep inventory is ON, but other players can steal your stuff if you don't protect it.

2) Morse - our original Creative/Survival world where players can change their own gamemode.

• All Creative builds, mini games, etc. are here.
• You can play Survival in this world if you'd like to.
• Morse offers PVP in designated regions only.

Why is the Morse Library providing a Minecraft server for Teens – and what is it?

1) The Morse Library’s Minecraft server offers Natick teens a safe space to play Minecraft together.

• Unlike some public Minecraft servers, this server is only open to Teens & Tweens in Grades 4-12; adults are NOT allowed. Each individual needs to apply for server access, which means we know who the players are.
• Players must sign a Minecraft Code of Conduct to get server access; violations of the code such as bullying other players & inappropriate language will result in a loss of server privileges.

2) A Minecraft server is a world that Minecraft players can enter & play the game in. Many Minecraft activities involve teamwork and social interaction, as well as creativity!

• The library’s Minecraft server is FREE; players need their own PC/Mac Minecraft account
• The server is accessible from outside the library (play from home!) & open all the time! Your Teen/Tween can play when it’s convenient for them – and you!
