The Official Launcher is the recommended way to play. It updates itself, so you stay current with the server.

Small on purpose.

A server built around a handful of friends, not a crowd.

A lake below mountains

One shared world

Everyone plays on the same server with the same setup.

Whitelist only

Only approved names get in.

Same version for all

The launcher updates itself, so everyone stays on the same version.

Quiet by design

No public server list. Everyone here was invited.

Questions.

Still stuck? Ask in the group chat.

Who can join?

Only friends who were added to the whitelist. If you are not sure you are on it, ask an admin.

Do I need Minecraft Java Edition?

Yes. Orvian runs on Java Edition, so you need a Java Edition account to sign in.

Launcher or modpack?

Use the Official Launcher. It is the only option that updates automatically. The Modrinth modpack never updates on its own, so you would have to update it by hand.

Where is the server address?

Admins share it with friends directly. Orvian is not listed anywhere public.

I cannot connect.

Check that you are whitelisted and up to date. If you use the modpack, update it by hand. If it still fails, ask in the group chat.
