Frequently asked
Quick answers. Anything not covered here, ask in #help on Discord.
General
Which Minecraft versions can I use?
Java Edition only, 1.8 through 1.21. We use ViaVersion + ViaBackwards under the hood, so you don’t have to switch profiles.
Is MistyMC available on Bedrock / mobile / Xbox?
No — Java Edition only. We don’t run Geyser. If you’re on Bedrock, you’ll need a Java account to connect.
When do voting rewards arrive?
Mist Coins are credited within ~60 seconds of voting on each site. If they don’t show up, run /vote claim once you’re back in-game. Streak bonuses pay out at midnight UTC.
How do I apply to be staff?
Visit /apply and fill in the form. We open applications when there’s a need — applications during a closed window are saved but not actively reviewed. Min age 15, min playtime 40 hours, no recent bans.
Gameplay
Which mods and clients are allowed?
OptiFine, Sodium, Iris, Replay Mod, Litematica (planning only), 5zig, Lunar, and Badlion are all fine — as long as cheat modules are off. Anything that auto-clicks, auto-aims, ESPs, x-rays, blinks, or runs a macro in your place is banned. Read Anti-Cheat & Reporting.
Will the survival world ever reset?
No planned resets. The Survival world has been running since launch and we intend to keep it that way. Builds outlive seasons, players, and most other servers.
Account
I got banned and I think it was wrong. What do I do?
Open a ticket in #ban-appeals on Discord. Use the appeal form. Don’t argue, don’t insult — staff will close belligerent appeals. First response usually within 24h.
How do I link my Discord?
In-game: /discord link — gives you a 6-digit code. DM the code to the MistyBot in our Discord and your account is linked.
Store
Is the store pay-to-win?
No. Store ranks unlock cosmetics, more /sethome slots, a chat tag, and a few QoL perks (faster /back cooldown, larger AH listing limit). They do not give you items, money, kits, or PvP advantages. Full breakdown in Ranks & Perks.
Technical
Why is the server lagging? Is my ping bad?
Run /ping in-game — that’s your client-to-server latency. Anything under 80ms is great, 80–150ms is fine, 200ms+ starts to hurt. If TPS is the issue (not your ping), /tps shows it. Below 18 means the server is struggling and staff are likely already paged.
