Join Java or Bedrock and choose a realm
Realm guide
Java: open Multiplayer → Add Server. Enter play.mystikraft.com. No extra port is needed. Java 26.3 is recommended; Java 1.18–26.3 is supported through compatibility translation, with limits on older clients. Java versions older than 1.18 cannot join.
Bedrock: where your device offers Add Server, use play.mystikraft.com and port 19132. Use the current supported Bedrock client. Device and console menus differ; ask #help if Add Server is unavailable.
Choose where to play: Hub — The Nexus connects Survival — Verdant Reach, Creative — Aetherforge, Prison — Emberstone Isle and Minigames — Arcadia. Open /server to choose a realm. In the Hub, you can also click a travel character in front of spawn. /help lists the commands you can use.
First steps: in Survival, open /menu. In Creative, use /plot auto to claim an available plot. Use /server prison to mine blocks, sell them for Gems and climb ranks A to Z. Use /server minigames and click a game character in the lobby.
Each realm keeps its own items and progress. Creative items do not transfer into Survival. Prison and Minigames have their own rewards. Discord is optional for joining; the website handbook works without it.
