JOIN GAME / READ THE ROOM FIRST
A shared world has its own rules.
Luanti’s Join Game tab lets you browse public servers or enter an address and port. The engine does not make them all the same game. Read the listing and the operator’s rules before deciding where to play; features and permissions depend on the server.
Three questions before your first visit
- What game does this server run? Use its own instructions rather than borrowing recipes from another game.
- What can a new player do? Read building, protection and conduct rules before changing someone else’s work.
- How does its account system work? Luanti server accounts are specific to the server, not one universal account.
Choose a new password rather than reusing one from another service. Keep the address and the name you used somewhere you can find them. If a listing promises a special feature, verify it through the server’s own description instead of assuming every server has it.
You do not need to copy the server’s mod folder
Content needed from a server is delivered when you connect. Manually assembling its mod list on your phone is not the normal joining process. A slow first connection can involve downloading media; check the connection and allow it time rather than repeatedly creating different accounts.
Prefer a quiet first attempt?
Use a single-player world to learn the controls and the selected game first. It is easier to practise inventory actions and movement without also learning a server’s social rules. Then choose a shared world that fits the way you want to play.
