How to Create a OneBlock Minecraft Server
Start a OneBlock world, where you stand on a single block that keeps regenerating, with a plugin or datapack.
Updated 1 min read
In OneBlock, every player starts on a single block. Break it and a new one appears, moving through phases from grass to the Nether and the End.
Option 1: a plugin (Paper)
Best for servers with several players, each with their own island.
- Make sure your server runs Paper (install it from Package Manager if not).
- In Package Manager, click Browse packages, search for BentoBox, and install it. Then install its AOneBlock add-on (from BentoBox's site, uploaded to
plugins/BentoBox/addonsin Files). - Package changes are queued and applied the next time the server starts, so restart it from Console when you're done.
- Players run
/obto create their island.
Option 2: a datapack
Simplest for a small group sharing one block.
- Download a OneBlock datapack for your Minecraft version.
- Set
level-typeto a flat or void world inserver.properties, as the datapack's page says, then reset the world (see How to Reset the World). - Stop the server, upload the datapack to
world/datapacksin Files, and start it.
Option 3: a modpack
Several modpacks are built around OneBlock. Search for "OneBlock" in Package Manager's modpacks.
