The Server Selector is the main menu of the hub. It has one button for each gamemode that is open to you, and clicking a button moves you to that mode. It is the nether star in the first hotbar slot and can also be opened from anywhere in the hub with /selector.
Layout#
The menu has three rows. The four mode buttons sit in the middle row, left to right:
| Position | Mode | Icon | Selector name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lifesteal | LifeSteal (26.3) | |
| 2 | Survival | Survival (26.3) | |
| 3 | Skyblock | Skyblock (26.3) | |
| 4 | Prison | Prison (26.3) |
The number in brackets is the Minecraft version the mode runs on. The Survival button glows. A button is only shown to accounts that are allowed to join that mode.
What each button shows#
Hover a button to see the mode's summary:
| Mode | Short description | Highlights listed |
|---|---|---|
| Lifesteal | Fight players, steal their hearts, and build a clan to dominate the season. | Heart-Stealing PvP, Custom Enchants, Clans, KOTH and Events |
| Survival | Introducing Netherite Survival, a new and improved revamp of the popular mode. | No Lag, Towns, Player-based Economy, Custom Enchants (/ce) |
| Skyblock | Start on a floating island, invite friends and win. Weekly payouts go to top islands. | Island Upgrades, Masteries, Rotating Economy |
| Prison | Mine ranks, run dungeons, invite friends and win. Weekly payouts go to top clans. | Custom Enchants, Dungeons, Grindy Economy |
Every button also shows two live lines:
- Players: how many players are currently in that mode.
- Age: how long the current season of that mode has been running.
The last line reads "Click to join!".
Joining a mode#
- Click the button. A "Connecting to server..." line with animated dots appears under the button text while the request is processed.
- On success you see Teleporting... and are moved.
- The selector sends you to where you last left that mode, not always to its spawn. A first-time visitor arrives at the spawn of the mode, and so does a player whose last server is not available.
If the game server restarts while you are on it, you wait in that mode's lobby and are sent back to your saved location as soon as the server is ready again.
Messages you can get instead#
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| You are already switching servers. | A previous click is still being processed. Wait a moment. |
| You are already connected to this server. | You are already where the button leads. |
| Server not found. It is likely rebooting. Contact an administrator if this persists for a while. | The mode's servers are restarting. Try again in a few minutes. |
| A message that the mode is closed | The mode is not open to you at the moment, for example during maintenance or before a new season opens. |
| An unknown error occurred. | Try again, and open a ticket if it keeps happening (Support Tickets). |
Tips#
- If the menu button for a mode is missing, that mode is not currently open to your account.
- You can also change modes without the hub by connecting with a mode's own address, listed in Servers and Gamemodes.
- To switch to a different copy of the hub itself, use the clock item and the Hub Selector.
