Server Location & Ping Optimization

Server is EU-based. Worldwide players are welcome.

High Ping or Packet Loss? Use Cloudflare WARP

If connecting from the Americas or Asia, install WARP VPN (1.1.1.1). It routes your Minecraft traffic directly through Cloudflare’s private fiber network straight to Europe, cutting latency and eliminating ISP packet loss.
