Fix problems in a run

You cannot connect to Sparkane

Check the server address. If you play Bedrock, check the port too. Follow the join steps for Java, Bedrock, or console.

• Check the address and connection

Your configurator code has expired

1. 1Return to the lobby and talk to the Personal Server NPC.
2. 2Open the configurator again.
3. 3Use the new link or code to choose your server settings.

Your server will not start or is missing

Open the Personal Server area in the lobby and check its state. For Waiting, wait briefly and look again. For Offline, start it again. If the server expired, check a rank upgrade with more lifetime or create a new server. If it cannot be reached before expiry, tell support the state shown.

• More lifetime with a rank upgrade

A friend cannot join

The host should check /invitelist and invite the player with their exact in-game name. The friend reconnects afterwards. A party or friendship alone does not give server access. An invite does not create space when the run is full.

• Invitations and parties

A command or option is missing

Check spelling and whether you are in the right run. In Challenge runs, you cannot break blocks before the start or while the run is paused. In a paused run the backpack is read-only. /resourcepack or /rp only toggles the supplementary resource pack.

If an option is missing, check its message: it may need a higher rank or it may not work with a rule selected for this run.

• Look up commands
• Backpack rules
• Get connection help

The run will not continue

Use /timer status to check whether the run is paused. The chat message after /timer resume shows whether the countdown began. The run continues after it. Before resetting, talk about whether you need a new server: a reset does not change the existing world.
