About Minevane

Minevane is a Java survival SMP for New Zealand and Australia. It keeps vanilla building and exploration at the center, then adds the tools that make a shared world easier to live in. You get homes, a custom /wayfare teleport, chest locks, sign shops, digital diamond storage and a live overworld map.

PvP is by agreement, while griefing and stealing are banned. New players begin with a custom starter challenge, and the minigames district adds bosses and challenges without turning the server into a giant minigame network. Proximity voice chat makes nearby towns, builds and expeditions more social, but it needs Simple Voice Chat on your client.

Minevane is now on Season 5, which began in July 2026. Seasons are not reset on a fixed timer, and finished worlds can be downloaded for singleplayer.

What Makes It Different

Minevane feels like a private regional SMP without being completely bare-bones. Its strongest twist is the mix of local community play, consensual PvP, proximity voice chat and small custom systems that make survival smoother without burying it under plugins.

Minevane Gameplay

The main game is vanilla-style survival with a few useful commands and shared districts. You start with one normal home plus `/home bed`, then use `/wayfare` to find a random wilderness location. Homes and warps use Teleport Crystals, while spawn and selected warps are free.

A custom starter challenge introduces new players to the server. The shopping district supports offline sign shops, and containers can be secured with chest locks. A separate minigames district adds bosses and challenges during the season.

History of Minevane

Minevane opened its first season in May 2022. Season 1 ran from May 2022 to May 2023 and covered Minecraft versions 1.18.2 through 1.19.4. It established the server as a local, mostly vanilla survival world for players in New Zealand and Australia.

The first world nearly ended when Codz accidentally deleted the entire server. Minevane recovered and moved into Season 2 as a fresh start, giving the community a chance to rebuild its shared world and settle into a more dependable rhythm.

Season 3 began as Codz's vanilla experiment and grew into something much larger than its original idea. The server kept its survival focus while adding the multiplayer conveniences that now define the everyday experience, including homes, teleport tools, shops and protected storage.

Season 4 became the revival era. It ran for about a year and a half, making it Minevane's longest season so far, and grew into its biggest and busiest world. The season also helped turn Minevane's community features into a more complete package, with social spaces, player commerce and additional activities alongside survival.

By July 2026, Minevane had reached Season 5. The new season continued the same light-touch approach instead of replacing survival with a heavily scripted mode. Resets are decided by the community rather than a fixed calendar.

Today, Minevane combines a current seasonal world with an archive of the first four seasons. Those completed worlds can be downloaded and played in singleplayer, preserving the builds and history of the server while Season 5 continues as the active chapter.
