Everything you need on one page. If you read nothing else here, read this.
Joining
Open Minecraft → Multiplayer → Add server → address:
play.ggnetwork.rip
You land in the hub and pick your mode there. Both modes sit on the same
address, so you never need a second entry in your server list.
The network runs on 1.21+. Older clients get in through ViaVersion, the
supported range is 1.7.2 – 1.21.x. It runs best on a current version — if
something behaves strangely on an old client, that is the first thing to rule
out.
The two modes
HeartSMP is lifesteal. Die and you lose a heart. Kill someone and you gain
one. That single rule changes how everything else feels: every fight is worth
something, and running away is a real strategy rather than an embarrassment.
HeartGen is about generators, grinding and KoTH fights. You build income,
you defend it, you contest the hill.
Neither mode costs anything. The store exists to pay for the servers, not to
gate the game.
The three places we talk
- Discord — fastest. Someone is usually around. Bugs, quick questions,
"is this mod allowed", anything that needs an answer in minutes.
https://discord.gg/PfhFcQrYUu
- This forum — anything worth keeping. Guides, ban appeals, staff
applications, suggestions, bug reports with detail.
- In game — for playing. Not for arguing about punishments.
Before you post here
Your forum account is separate from your Minecraft login. Same name is
fine and recommended, but it is a different account with its own password.
Link your Minecraft name in your account settings and your skin and ranks show
up on your profile.
Two threads are worth reading before your first post:
- How this forum works — categories, marking answers, reactions, quoting.
- Rules — short, and meant seriously. Also on the rules page.
If something is broken
Report it. A server or plugin fault is worth more to us reported than
exploited, and we say that in the rules with a straight face: report a
duplication bug and you get a reward, milk it and you lose the account.
