Full guide
From adding the server to your first win.
Getting connected
The server address is theysix.sparked.network. Most clients only need the address, so add it as a server in your multiplayer list and you are done. If your client asks for a port as well, use theysix.sparked.network:25625 — that is port 25625.
The server runs Paper 1.21.11 and wants Java 21 to run. That only matters if you are self-hosting; as a player you just need a normal Minecraft launcher.
Java Edition
Anything from 1.9 upwards connects. Newer clients work best for the visual side of things, but an old client still gets you in.
Bedrock Edition
Phone, console, tablet and Windows Bedrock all work. Add the same address; the game handles the translation for you.
The lobby
You spawn in the lobby, not in a game. The lobby shows what is being voted on, how many players are waiting, and how long until the next round starts. From there you have three useful moves.
- Vote. Run
/ts voteto back whatever you want to play next, or/ts vote gameto name a specific one. This is the lobby vote, and it is always available. - Quick join.
/ts quickjoindrops you into any arena with space. This is the fastest way to start playing. - Pick a specific arena.
/ts join PG-04joins exactly the arena you name. When you want a particular format, this is the one.
Prefer clicking to typing? Run /ts (or /tse) and a join menu opens instead. Older documentation may refer to this same command by a different alias; /ts is the one to use.
Need to back out mid-round? /ts leave returns you to the lobby.
Arenas and teams
There are six arenas, and each one holds up to 24 players. Team formats are decided when the round starts from how many players are actually there, so a five-a-side map played by four people becomes a smaller match. In team-format games, pick your side with /ts team or join a specific team with /ts team join 1.
Read the full arena guide for what each map is built for.
Parties
Playing with friends does not require being in the same arena at the same second. Form a party and you will be pulled into the same rounds together.
/ts party list— see your party/ts party create— start one/ts party invite <player>— bring someone in/ts party join <player>— join theirs
Stats, leaderboards, levels and achievements
Everything you play is tracked, and it is all readable in-game.
/ts statsopens your stats. Narrow it with a category, and switch betweenalltime,monthlyandyearlyviews, paging through with a page number./ts tops [category]— leaderboards. Useful for finding out who to party with./ts achievements— what you have unlocked and what is still outstanding./ts level— your level and XP progress.
Cosmetics and credits
Credits are the in-game currency. You earn them by playing, and spend them in the cosmetic store on things that change how you look without changing how you play.
/ts store— the cosmetic store/tags— the tag shown next to your name in chat/glow <colour>— the outline glow around your character/cosmetics— everything you own/balanceand/pay <player> <amount>— check and send credits
Two different things called voting
These are unrelated, and mixing them up is the single most common confusion on this server.
In-arena vote — live now
/ts vote chooses the next minigame in the lobby. It is always available and it is what most people mean when they say voting.
Server-list vote — being rolled out
/vote registers your vote on a Minecraft server directory. This is still being set up. We are not announcing a reward schedule until it is live and tested.
Every command
Every command below is player-facing. Each row has its own copy button, and the address is copyable from the block at the end.
Getting in and out
Everything you need to enter an arena and leave it again.
| Command | Who | Effect |

/ts join <arena> | Everyone | Joins one specific arena, for example PG-03. |

Nothing playing that you like?
All 19 games are votable from the lobby, and we add more over time. Announcements and session news go out on Discord first, so that is the place to watch if you want to know what is coming.
