Tutorial

This page goes over the basic information, commands, and tips for new players to understand and have fun on the server.

Getting Started

When a player joins for the first time, they are placed into the new players corner of spawn. Signs around the area give the player general information about how the server works, the rules, the server's history, and more. These signs are as follows.

Who are we?

zero.minr.org is the ultimate challenge server specializing in parkour, puzzles and mazes. Established in October 2010, we are one of the oldest Minecraft servers & home to one of the oldest worlds.

Within our devoted community of skilled map builders, we have cultivated an impressive collection of over 700 unique challenges, ensuring there's never a dull moment for our players.

We are proudly donation free & have been privately funded for over 14 years - we do not believe in perks or pay to win.

Every challenge is meticulously crafted, thoroughly reviewed and expertly curated by the community.

Green players hold a special place within our community. They've earned their build rights by successfully conquering our Hardcore system, a demanding series of difficult courses. Access to Hardcore challenges is granted only after achieving 100 points and completing 5 moderate or harder courses.

We are firm on our rules so please ensure you read them thoroughly.

White Rank

When a player first joins, their rank is set to white. This is the most basic rank, and it grants the player access only to FFA maps. FFA contains every map that grants points upon completion (with a few exceptions). The majority of members on the server have this rank. A player can “rank up” to blue by getting 100 points and completing 5 Moderate (yellow) or more difficult maps.

One recommendation for new players is to beat the FAQ Quiz. This not only counts towards both requirements to get blue, but beating the FAQ Quiz is necessary to begin the main challenge on the server that unlocks when getting blue rank: Hardcore.

Starter Maps

Near the new players corner of spawn are several beginner-friendly maps of each of the server's main maptypes.

• The starter parkour maps include Factory, Sitting Duck, Mystic Cavern, Sakura, and Playdoh Palace.
• The starter maze maps include Twilight, Level Four, Warmth, Flower Garden, and Axolotl Haven.
• The starter puzzle maps include Worldler, enter, CrossWorlds, Sea of Redstone, and If Nothing Then Nothing.
• The starter adventure maps include Small Problems, Minr Camp, Booster's Tower, Sphinx, and Dark Pact.

Entering Hardcore

Once a player is blue rank and has beaten the FAQ Quiz, they gain access to Hardcore. Hardcore is a collection of maps containing parkour, puzzles, mazes, and adventures of various difficulties that one must complete in a certain order (with branching paths, as seen here) to earn green rank.

Once Hardcore has been completed, the player must submit a Green Application on the forums to earn the green rank.

Being a Greenie

Green ranked members have many more permissions than white and blue ranked members. The main new feature is access to the creative world, Theta. Within this world, greenies are able to create maps to be placed in FFA. Before being put into FFA, however, a map must go through a review process. This process exists to prevent maps of low quality from entering FFA. Greens also get access to maps on Board, in Mount Minr, or maps that are finished and have join signs, but were never submitted and thus are not in FFA.
