How to join
Open Minecraft, add a new multiplayer server, and connect using play.mcsunset.com. Sunset presents itself as a free-to-play network, so the goal of this wiki is to help you get into the action fast.
What to do first
- Join the network and look around the hub.
- Choose a game mode that fits your playstyle.
- Read the rules before you dive into trading, building, or fighting.
- Join Discord if you want support, updates, and community interaction.
Best first step
If you are brand new, start with Survival for progression, or Creative if you want a lower-pressure start.
Recommended path
Survival
Great for building a base, meeting people, and learning the network economy.
Skyblock
Perfect if you enjoy optimization, farming, and long-term island growth.
KitPVP
Ideal if you want instant action and fast fights instead of setup time.
Useful official links
- Forums for announcements and discussions.
- Support tickets when you need staff help.
- Help Center for future help articles.
- Discord to stay connected with the community.
Common mistakes
- Jumping in without reading the rules.
- Ignoring the official support path when an issue needs staff review.
- Choosing a mode without knowing its risk level.
- Forgetting to save the IP and official links somewhere easy to find.

Sunset also has official application forms on the main website if you ever want to get more involved with the network.
