The Outpost

A friends-only survival server

The Outpost

Plain Minecraft with a few safety nets. Your stuff waits in a grave when you die, spawn is protected, and griefing gets rolled back. Nothing to install.

Checking server… Java 26.3

Invite only. Ask Miles to add your exact Java name before your first join.

01 · Join

Join in three steps

Takes a couple of minutes, and you only do it once.

  1. Get on the list

    The Outpost is invite-only. Send Miles your exact Java Edition profile name so he can whitelist you.

  2. Open Java 26.3

    Start Minecraft: Java Edition on version 26.3. No mods, modpacks or installers.

  3. Add the server

    Multiplayer → Add Server, type the address, then Done → Join.

    play.theoutpost.party

Under 13? A parent needs to allow multiplayer for your Microsoft account in Family Safety (Xbox family settings). Without it, Minecraft won't let you join any server.

02 · What's on

Vanilla, plus a few safety nets

It plays like normal survival. All of this runs on the server, so there's nothing for you to install.

  • Graves keep your stuff

    When you die, your items go into a grave right where you fell. Only you can open it.

  • Safe spawn

    Spawn is protected. Nobody can build, break or wreck anything there, so it's always a safe place to land.

  • PvP is off

    Players can't hurt each other anywhere on the server. Mobs are another story.

  • One bed skips the night

    Only one person has to sleep. Nobody waits around for everyone to find a bed.

  • Griefing gets undone

    Every block placed or broken and every chest opened is logged, and can be rolled back.

  • Backed up every 6 hours

    Automatic backups while people are playing, plus copies kept off the server.

03 · Rules

House rules

Short list. Younger players are on here too, so keep it friendly.

  1. Be kind in chat. No bullying and no mean jokes about people.
  2. Don't grief or steal. Every block and chest is logged, so it gets found and rolled back.
  3. Give people space. Ask before building right next to someone's base.
  4. No cheats. No hacked clients, x-ray or duping.
  5. Shared builds are shared. Spawn and community builds belong to everyone.

04 · Help

Can't connect?

Find the message you see on screen.

  • You are not white-listed on this server

    Your name has to match exactly. Send Miles the name shown in the Minecraft Launcher, then try again.

  • Incompatible client

    You're on the wrong version. In the Launcher, open Installations, make a new one on 26.3, and play that.

  • Multiplayer is disabled

    A parent needs to allow multiplayer for your account in Microsoft Family Safety.

  • Unknown host

    Check the spelling: play.theoutpost.party. If it's right, fully quit Minecraft and open it again.

  • Do I need any mods?

    No. If you want extras, client-only mods like Sodium, Xaero's Minimap or AppleSkin are fine. They're never required.
