Getting Started

Void Tales runs on Minecraft Java Edition 26.2. There is no whitelist and no application process - install the pack and join.

Step 1: Install the modpack

Get the Void Tales modpack from Modrinth (Fabric, 26.2). If you use the Modrinth App, Prism Launcher, or ATLauncher, you can import the .mrpack file directly and the launcher builds the instance for you.

Already have an older Void Tales instance from before the 26.2 update? It keeps working and still connects - import the new pack as a new instance and the old one stays as your way back.

Step 2: Add the server

In the Multiplayer menu, add a server with the address play.voidtales.win. The modpack ships with that entry already in the server list.

Step 3: Accept the resource pack

When you join, the server offers a resource pack. Accept it. It is not optional - without it you are missing custom items, the HUD, and models the pack ships alongside the mods.

Step 4: Pick your visuals

The first launch asks once whether to enable Full Visuals. Answer either way - you can switch any time from the title screen button (Enable Full Visuals / Switch to Lite Visuals).

Lite Visuals starts faster and still gives you the Void Tales look and the custom gear models. Full Visuals adds the fully redrawn blocks, armour, and weapons on top.

First steps in-game

Open /guide to bring up the Journal, which tracks your active quests. Follow the tutorial it starts you on. If you ever get physically stuck in a block or the terrain, /stuck gets you out.

From here, Commands & Features, Server Rules, and the FAQ cover the rest of what a new player needs.

Looking ahead

The modpack is the recommended way to play - it carries the visual packs and the performance mods. Making more of Void Tales work on a plain client is something we would like, but for now the pack is what gives you the full experience.
