You can request access to the server via the #minecraft channel in the Squishyish Discord by typing '/mcrequest' as long as you've been an active community member for more than 30 days.

Once your access is approved, a DM will be sent letting you know and to follow the guide above.

Yes. You need to update your Minecraft and Fabric to 1.21.5. You may also need to update your Java as the minimum requirement for Minecraft 1.21.5 is Java 21, which has been increased over previous iterations.

You will also need to update your mods, which can be done using the modpacks provided above or manually. All of your existing mods will need to be removed or moved from the "mods" folder and the newer ones will need to be installed.

If installing mods manually, ensure that you are downloading only Fabric versions of the mod built for 1.21.5.

More information can be found in the Existing Player Guide. We encourage you take a look before attempting to join the server.

There are only 8 required mods and they are required for a smooth experience for players on the server. The server is technically not vanilla Minecraft, and is lightly modded. We usually refer to it as being a vanilla+ experience.

The mods in the Optional/Suggested Mods sections are technically not required. However, they are recommended for the intended experience. Feel free to choose the route that best suits your needs.

A description for the mods can be seen above. For more detailed descriptions, feel free to visit the Modrinth link by clicking on them. Some of the more technical mods are likely dependencies required for other mods to run properly.

Your JourneyMap map data is cached in your Minecraft directory. The folder it is saved in is based on the name you give the server. If you have generated map data and decide to change the server name, navigate to your Minecraft directory (default directory is %APPDATA%\.minecraft) and find the folder that your previous map data is in (\journeymap\data\mp\servername) and copy it to the folder you are using currently.

Note:
It is recommended to start fresh as much of the JourneyMap data you currently have will no longer be accurate due to newer chunk generation.

For existing players: If you are jumping from 1.20.4 to 1.21.5 for the first time, you may need to follow the above regardless of whether or not you changed the server name as it may create a new folder with the jump in versions to the newer mod. More in-depth instructions can be found in the Existing Player Guide under the Known Issues section.
