Server access

BitFolk's Minecraft server is a closed service, intended for use only by BitFolk's customers and other trusted individuals. Therefore if you as a BitFolk customer would like to connect to the server you will first need to provide your registered Minecraft user name via the BitFolk Panel. Once submitted you should be automatically added to the server's whitelist.

If you aren't a BitFolk customer then you'll need to find someone to vouch for you; please enquire in the IRC channel.

Rules and etiquette

There are no hard and fast rules. Some guidelines:

• Be excellent to each other.
• No griefing.
• Other users will want to chat to you in-game. At least say hello; don't ignore everyone.
