How to join
Takes about two minutes. You need Minecraft: Java Edition (not Bedrock).
Get on the whitelist
Send Tim your exact Java username. Nobody can join until they're added.
Add the server
Use Minecraft 26.3. Go to Multiplayer → Add Server, and enter
mc.thinapat.work. No port needed.Accept the resource pack
When you join, the server sends Matcha's resource pack (about 20 MB). It's required: without it, items have broken names and vanilla textures. Say Yes.
Read the book
A few seconds after you spawn you'll get a welcome book. Lost it? Type
/trigger welcome.
What's different here
Matcha Flavoured changes a lot. This list is enough to get you started.
Food is medicine
No hunger bar and no natural regeneration. Ingredients carry effects, and there are around 50 new foods.
New progression
Four new alloys, with their own tools and armour. Vanilla gear, enchanting and villager trades are reworked.
Gentler deaths
Keep inventory is on, in every dimension. Dying costs less, so try things out.
1:1 Nether
Here one block in the Nether is one block in the Overworld (normally it's 8). Portals connect at the same coordinates.
World border
The world is 10,000 blocks wide, from −5,000 to 5,000 on X and Z, in both the Overworld and the Nether.
Health on show
Every player's health appears under their name. Phantoms are off.
Villages are made, not found. You'll feel alone at first. That's on purpose, and building your own village later is one of the best parts.
Your first hour
There's no wiki, on purpose. Figuring it out is the game. These are the tips the author gives.
- Start with a campfire, a wooden hoe, and grass to cook. That opens up the next step.
- Check your Advancements (press
L). They're your guide and hint at what to do next. - Look at recipes you can't craft yet in the recipe book. They show where you're heading.
- Take your time. The early game is harder. Prepare at each tier before moving on, or you'll run short on hearts.
- Don't rush to diamonds. Copper and iron matter here. Diamonds should feel special.
- Break spawners, and visit the End when you're ready. Shulkers come early in Matcha.
House rules
- Be kind. This is a small server among friends.
- No griefing, and don't take from chests that aren't yours.
- No hacked clients, x-ray or duplication exploits.
- Ask before building right next to someone else.
Trouble?
Items have weird names or look like vanilla
The resource pack didn't load. Open Multiplayer, select the server, click Edit, set Server Resource Packs to Enabled, and rejoin.
"You are not whitelisted on this server"
Ask Tim to add your exact Java username. Capital letters don't matter, but spelling does.
"Outdated client" or "Outdated server"
The server runs 26.3. Pick that version in the launcher.
Can't connect at all
Check the address is mc.thinapat.work with no port. If it still fails, the server might be restarting. Wait a minute, then message Tim.
