Five seasons so far
Season 1 was launched in May 2022 and we've been running continually since then. We're on Season 5 now, live since July 2026. We don't reset on a set schedule. A new season only starts when the community is ready for one.

We reset when it feels right, not on a timer.
What we've added
We're vanilla survival server at heart, with a bunch of quality-of-life additions that make the multiplayer side a lot nicer to play.
Wayfaring
Our own custom-coded random teleport. Strike out into fresh wilderness and start wherever it drops you.
/wayfare
Teleport Crystals
Teleporting to homes and warps costs a Teleport Crystal, so getting around still costs something. Spawn and select warps are free.
Vote Shop
Spend your voting rewards in the /voteshop on custom items, handy commands, extra /sethome slots and more.
/voteshop
Digital Diamonds
Bank your diamonds digitally: deposit, withdraw and check your balance anytime. Never lose a stack to lava again.
/deposit
/withdraw
/balance
Gradient Names
Paint your name with a custom colour gradient. Unlocked once you've voted across all three sites for a total of 3 days.
/gradient
Sign Shops
Set up a stall in the shopping district and trade 24/7, even while you're offline.
Chest Locks
Right-click any container with a sign to lock it down. Your loot stays yours.
Voice Chat
Server-side proximity voice chat powered by Simple Voice Chat. Pop the mod on your client and talk to nearby players in real time.
Starter Challenge
New players run a custom onboarding challenge. It sets the tone and quietly filters out the people who wouldn't fit in.
Minigames District
A district just for minigames, bosses and challenges. We add new ones through the season.
GEO-Lock
We're open to New Zealand & Australian residents only, so everyone you play with is somewhere nearby.
Vote for Minevane
Voting helps us out more than you'd think, and it only takes about ten seconds. It
bumps us up the server lists so more NZ and AU players find us, and you earn
vote points to spend in the /voteshop as a thank you.

Minecraft Server List
A quick daily vote earns vote points for the /voteshop. Resets every 24 hours, so it's an easy habit.

Community rules
Short version: use common sense. The long version's below.
- 01No griefing or stealing, including from unlocked chests.
- 02No advertising (servers, websites, etc.).
- 03No spamming in any way, shape or form.
- 04Be respectful to everyone.
- 05No cheating, hacking, etc., of any kind.
- 06Do not build huge lag machines (large farms are allowed, given that you only run them in quiet periods so it doesn't affect others' gameplay. Chunk loaders are not allowed).
- 07Do not PvP with other players unless they agree.
- 08Do not build close to other players without checking with them first.
- 09No auto-reconnect mods or any other mod that allows unfair advantages.
- 10You may have a maximum of one alt on at a time. When the server is full (e.g. 30 players), all alts must be logged out.
- 11Excessive swearing is not allowed. Use of any language that may be considered highly offensive by others is not tolerated.
Staff have the right to make judgement calls on things not explicitly covered in these rules.
