How a round goes

Jump. Gear up. Hunt. Shatter.

Every round is a brand-new random world inside a 1000 × 1000 border. You get 20 minutes, then it breaks apart and a fresh one takes its place.

The spawn island: a floating island with a giant purple rift gate, white towers with amethyst domes and cherry trees, hanging in the night sky.
The spawn island floats high above every new world.
  1. Jump

    Spawn on the floating island and jump off the edge. Your first landing is free: no fall damage.

  2. Gear up

    Mine, loot and claim land before anyone else finds it. New seed, new spots.

  3. Hunt

    With 10 minutes left a boss rises out in the world. Beat it for eyes of ender and a shot at netherite.

  4. Shatter

    At :00, :20 and :40 the world breaks. You keep your gear, and a fresh world appears below the island.

Side view of the spawn island: the rift gate and towers on top, a rocky underside with hanging stalactites.
Side view: everything below the grass line is the drop.
Top view of the spawn island: a round plaza with the rift gate in the centre, ringed by towers, paths and cherry trees.
Top view: the plaza and the rift gate at its centre.

At every shatter

You keep

Inventory and armor, XP, your ender chest, your faction, your home plot.

Gone with the world

Every block placed in it, faction claims, bosses still alive, the old End and its dragon.

What's in it

Built for short, loud fights

One per round

Bosses

The Gravewarden, The Brood Mother and The Stormcaller take turns. One rises 10 minutes before every shatter, with its own attacks and a second phase below half health.

  • Drops eyes of ender, rolled by damage dealt
  • 20% chance of netherite: an ingot, upgrade template, sword or armor
  • A chance at a name tag that unlocks a chat colour for good

12 eyes per shrine

The End

Four portal shrines stand around spawn. Fill one with 12 eyes of ender to reach this round's End.

  • One dragon, no crystals, no respawns
  • One elytra waiting in the end ship
  • The dragon drops a mask with a power

New layout every round

The fight zone

The ground below the island can't be broken, and every world decorates it differently.

  • Volcanoes with lava craters
  • Giant trees hung with glowing fruit
  • Ice fields, rock spires, ruins and cobweb nests
  • Pirate galleons when the world has ocean
  • Hidden chests to find
  • The Rift Point: a pit factions fight over in the last 5 minutes

1.8 style

PvP

No attack cooldown and no sweeping. Spam-clicking works again, and swords beat axes.

  • No shields, maces or spears
  • Potions: healing, swiftness and fire resistance only; healing splashes free with /kit pot
  • Speed II and Fire Resistance for everyone, all the time
  • Logging out in combat kills you

Weekly season

Factions

Up to 5 members plus one allied faction. Claim chunks 300 blocks out from spawn and hold them until the world shatters.

  • Claims reset every round; your faction stays
  • The season resets every Monday
  • Last season's champions are named above the throne in the Faction Hall
  • Safe trading with /trade

Never resets

Your home plot

Every player gets a personal chunk in the Home dimension. Build anything; it stays.

  • Only you can build there
  • No damage at home
  • Visitors only by /tpa

Five masks, one power each

The dragon drops one. Every mask protects like a netherite helmet.

Questions

Shatter FAQ

What is Shatter?

Shatter is a free Minecraft Java Edition PvP server where the world is replaced by a brand-new random world every 20 minutes (at :00, :20 and :40). Your inventory, XP, ender chest, faction and home plot survive every reset. Each round has a boss, Rift Points to capture, a tiny End and level-5 PvP bots called Raiders.

What is the server IP and which versions work?

The server address is shattermc.lol. It runs Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4, and players on Java 1.8 and newer can join. Bedrock Edition is not supported.

Is Shatter free to play?

Yes. Shatter is free to join and play with a Minecraft Java Edition account.

When is the official release?

The official release is on Friday 6 November 2026 at 20:00 CET (19:00 UTC). The server is already open to explore before that.

What do players get on release day?

Everyone who joins on release day gets the Warrior rank for free. Warriors can claim /kit warrior once a day: full diamond armor and a Sharpness I diamond sword.

How does a round work?

You spawn on a floating island above the world and jump down. Ten minutes before the world shatters a boss rises; beating it drops eyes of ender and loot. Rift Points open near the end of the round and reward the faction that holds them longest. When the timer hits zero the world breaks and a new one forms below the island.

Is there a Discord or YouTube channel?

Yes. The Discord is at discord.gg/5k8RtvY9x2 and boss fights are posted as Shorts on YouTube at @ShatterMCOfficial.
