mc.trtl.in is my small Minecraft server in the eastern US with survival and creative maps. Vanilla co-op survival is our foundation, complemented by a classic flat grass creative world.

Status

We are looking for a few more to join the group! The server was recently launched in December 2024 with the Pale Garden update. Only a few players are active and progressing at a modest pace. Very little of the world has been explored.

News will be posted to the private Discord along with monthly updates here.

Blog

Our latest blog post is available here:

At the end of each month, I will be posting a recap blog and showcase of our ongoing survival and building efforts.

About Turtlemay

30M delivery driver with several hobbies.

My Minecraft play style is cozy neighborhood builder. I like bringing home interesting materials and improving my tiny houses and farms.

My Minecraft knowledge mostly covers early beta through the "Combat Update" (2016), after which I stopped playing for many years. I've picked up again at the Pale Garden update and am learning about the new features as I go.

I have lots of experience with servers.

You can learn more about me at my personal site.

Who should join?

You should join if you're an adult looking for some light co-op a few times a week or so. You must be older than 21, LGBTQ+ friendly, and preferably near the eastern United States. Any experience level is fine.

Other than adding you to the group, I will not be acting as moderator or dungeon master. I am looking for friends and equals for a casual small community experience.

Voice chat is not a priority but I would like to do some occasional group events.

How to apply

To request access, send an email to and respond to the following:
  • What is your experience with Minecraft?
  • What is your general play style?
  • Minecraft username

Once whitelisted, I will add you on Discord so you can see other members and explore the server as you like.

  • Minecraft server address: (whitelist only)
    mc.trtl.in
  • Discord server: (invite only)
    You'll be added to Turtlemay's personal server.

Community Rules

  • Be good to each other.

Survival Worlds

  • Strict vanilla gameplay, normal difficulty, with no cheats or teleports (besides switching worlds).
  • No unconsenting PVP, stealing, or griefing.

Creative Worlds

  • Build what you want.
  • Respect others' creations.

We are hosted on a dedicated home server with quad-core 3.6GHz, 16GB RAM, SSD, and 10Mbps upload, located in Ohio, using the latest Paper server software with minimal plugins besides MultiVerse and some creative tools.

Test your ping with ping mc.trtl.in. You want less than 100ms on average or you might have a bad time.

I take regular backups of the server myself, but for your peace of mind, the latest package is also available here. It is GPG-encrypted with a password to be released only in the event of the server being retired. This ensures the integrity of our survival maps.

See UptimeRobot for server status and uptime history.
