FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Good to know
What is Vanilla+?
Pinnacle runs Paper and uses plugins, but the goal is to preserve the core vanilla Minecraft experience rather than becoming heavily modded or overloaded with systems.
What does whitelisted mean?
Only approved players on the server whitelist can connect. Pinnacle uses an application process for adults age 18 and older.
How old is the current world?
Season 12 began in April 2026. There is no fixed reset schedule and no current reset planned. A reset requires at least 90% agreement in a vote of server members.
Where is the server hosted?
The server is hosted in the eastern United States and is intended to remain available 24/7.
