Here are some answers to some questions that you might have about the the server and how to play on it.
If there’s anything else you would like to know about, you can send us an email at hello@minecraftblast.com.
Opening Hours
At the moment, the server is open weekdays from 6am until 9am and 3.30pm until 6pm. On weekends it’s open from 6am until 7pm.
Minecraft is soooo much fun and it’s a great place for playing and creating, but we also think it’s important to be mindful about how much time kids spend on screens. Especially when it affects sleep.
For that reason, CraftBlast has opening hours and you can’t join the server outside of these times.
Current Worlds
The CraftBlast server is made up of a few different worlds which you can explore, survive and create in. The Hub is where you spawn and is a fun place to explore or for PvP battles with friends. From there you can access three other worlds:
A Plot World where you can show off your creative building skills.
A vanilla survival world.
A Bedwars game.
How to Join
We use a plugin called Geyser which means both Bedrock and Java players can join CraftBlast.
We’ll send you instructions by email on how to add CraftBlast to your server list and how to join, when you apply.
Tech Info
We are running the server on the PaperMC ecosystem and we use Multiverse plugins to manage the worlds. The server is hosted on a dedicated VPS from Hostinger.
There are a bunch of other plugins we use to manage the server and the various games. We’re not very techy people, but if you want to know anything else about how we did this, send us a message 🙂
Support CraftBlast!
We built and are maintaining this server as a home ed project to support Wilf’s interest. It takes way more time to keep it working than we first imagined. But that’s part of the fun.
It also costs us money. We have monthly hosting fees and occasional other costs like pro plugins.
The server is free for home ed kids to join, but if you are able and would like to support us, we’d be exceptionally grateful for any help at all. You can use the button below to make a small donation.
Future Plans
Here is a list of stuff we’re working on or plan to work on in the future. If you have ideas about how to make this server better or if you spot any bugs or other problems, please let us know!
