Hey all,

We had a good response to our Hack&Roll 2021 Minecraft server, so we've decided to set up an NUS Hackers server incorporating feedback from the previous sever.

Come join us (on Minecraft) at mc.nushackers.org! We have creative, survival with Towny, and a PvP (Kit-PvP) arena. For more information, check out /kit guide in-game.

Note that the server is running in offline mode. To combat spam and abuse, you will be asked to verify your Minecraft user using your Telegram account.

If you do not play Minecraft, you can still join us on the NUS Hackers Discord at https://discord.gg/9gtfAJaUqP, and chat with those on Minecraft via the #in-game channel.

See you on Minecraft and Discord! Also, do look out for some exciting initiatives we will announce over the summer!
