FAQs
The basics, without having to dig through everything else first.
These answers are meant to clear up the questions that come up most often around joining, account linking, whitelist access, and moderation visibility.
How do I get access to STEMCraft?
Access is usually arranged through a workshop, community program, or direct onboarding (only in some circumstances).
If you are unsure whether you already have access, login to the website and under the user menu, check if you have STEMCraft listed:
From that menu item, you can add your Minecraft accounts to the server. Contact us if you have any issues.
Do I need a website account?
Generally yes. The website is used to manage linked Minecraft usernames and whitelist access for players or programs. It also allows us to have the contact details of the parent if issues arise.
Can I join using Java/Bedrock
Sure! The server supports both Java and Bedrock players. Generally you require the latest version and a valid Minecraft account to join. You can visit the STEMCraft Discussions* to see the current version and other news.
* To view and participant in discussions on this site requires an active website account.
Why does my linked account say UUID pending?
That usually means the server has not seen that Minecraft account log in yet. Once it does, the UUID will be recorded against the account.
What happens if I change my Minecraft player name?
Nothing! While Minecraft player names can change, their UUID's do not. Provided your player name was previously whitelisted, once you login again under your new player name, the website will be updated accordingly.
Why is there a public punishments page?
It exists for transparency. It helps players understand when restrictions are active and shows that moderation decisions are not being hidden from the community.
Can punishments be lifted?
Yes. Depending on the issue, restrictions can expire naturally or be lifted by admins when appropriate.
What should I do if something looks wrong with my access?
Contact STEMMechanics and include your Minecraft username, the platform you are using, and what you expected to happen.
Is there a live player map of the server?
Yes, the server does have a live map of the worlds and players. Some worlds, such as survival worlds, have 'hiding' enabled meaning that players can hide themselves on the map if they are under blocks and not visible from the sky.
Still unsure?
If your question is not covered here, it is better to ask directly than guess and end up stuck on access or account details.
