Hello, tributes!
With the release of MCGamer V2, people are clearly still adapting to the changes. Not only that, but with the recent release of the Mockingjay movie, we are getting tons of new players seeking a Hunger Games experience on Minecraft! I am asked quite frequently by both new and old players alike how they can get started with MCGamer, so I’m here today to answer those questions! In this guide, I’ll be covering how to connect to MCGamer, how to navigate your way around the hub, how to connect to any of our gametypes, and some essential commands. Hopefully you find some useful information here!
The first step before you can even begin to play is to connect to the server. Please note that you must have a premium Minecraft account to connect. We currently offer server locations in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Canada. The IP addresses to each location are as follows:
United States: us.mcgamer.net
Europe: eu.mcgamer.net
Australia: au.mcgamer.net
Canada: ca.mcgamer.net
Join whichever server location is closest to you for the best connection results.
Once you have connected, you will be placed in the hub, which looks a little bit like this:
You’ll see that you have some items in your hotbar, as well as some XP. Real quick, I’ll go over the purpose of each of these.
Experience Points
Your experience points show the ID of the hub you’re in.
Compass
The compass is the most important feature in your hotbar, as it’s what allows you to navigate through the gametypes we offer. Since it’s so important and has a lot to explain, I’ll go over it in the Gametypes section of this guide.
Clock
The clock is simple - right click it to toggle visibility of players in your hub. It’s useful for when there’s a giant crowd of people and you’re having trouble getting around it.
Book
The book is just like a newspaper! Right click it and you can read all about recent updates and events going on here at MCGamer. It is updated regularly.
Gold Ingot
This Gold Ingot is the MCGamer Credits Shop. You can only access it’s features by donating money to the server, but fear not, it’s purely for cosmetic purposes. You can buy all sorts of stuff here, like vanity items, particle effects, hats, seasonal items, and even your very own pet you follow you around the hub!
Nether Star
As we often have lots of players coming in, we have multiple hubs to prevent everyone crowding in the same place. The nether star is your way of teleporting between those multiple hubs. When you open it up, you’ll see a menu of enderpearls. The eye of ender represents the hub you’re currently in, and you can switch between the hubs by clicking on the ender pearls.
It’s mostly for social purposes, if you want to talk to someone but they’re in a different hub. You can also use it to join smaller hubs for some peace and quiet!
Let’s talk gametypes! This is probably what you came here for in the first place. Currently, the gametypes we offer are Survival Games, Quarter Quell, Zed Chase, Survival Games Classic, Battlegrounds, MCTF2, Rocket Rumble, Survival Bingo, Party Time, Color Zone, Hungry Games, and Deadly Descent. To access these gametypes, right click your compass.
You’ll be taken to the menu below. Let’s see how to get to the gametypes from here!
Click on which gametype below you'd like to learn how to join!
Survival Games
Survival games is a Minecraft spin-off of the popular series Hunger Games, in which 24 tributes are placed in an arena and must collect gear, survive traps, and kill each other off. The last one standing wins!
To connect, click the bow in your compass menu.
You’ll be taken to the Survival Games minihub.
Once you’re here, you can connect with multiple methods. The first method is to walk forward to the sign boards.
Each sign represents a server. Right click on one to join it. Please note that without premium membership, you will not be able to join full servers.
The second method of joining is by right-clicking the beacon in your hotbar.
Here, each clay block represents a server. Click on a green block to play, or a yellow one to watch.
You can also connect with the following commands:
/join sg - Connects you to a Survival Games lobby.
/watch sg - Connects you to a Survival Games already in progress for you to watch.
/server sg[#] - Command for joining specific servers. Replace [#] with the number.
There you go, you’re connected to Survival Games. You will be placed in the lobby, so kick back and your game will start shortly!

/hub
A very important command. This will take you back to the hub at any time if you wish to play a different gametype, so you don’t have to reconnect.
/tutorial
A helpful command that fits in well with the theme of this guide. This will initiate a tour of the hub, and you even get 3500 MCGamer credits for completing it!
/join [id]
A command to immediately play whichever gametype you want. In [id], put the abbreviation of any gametype you want to play. For example: if I wanted to play Survival Games, I would type “/join sg”, or if I wanted to play Party Time, I would type “/join pt”.
/watch [id]
A command to watch whichever gametype you want. In [id], put the abbreviation of any gametype you want to play. For example: if I wanted to play Survival Games, I would type “/join sg”, or if I wanted to play Party Time, I would type “/join pt”.
/server [id][#]
A command to go to whatever server of a gametype you want. In [id], put the gametype, and in [#], put the number of the server. This command is useful for if you want to join a specific server that someone else is in, so you can play with friends.
/servers
Lists all available servers that you can go to with /server.
/party
Parties are a useful system for playing with friends. It’s an easier method than /server, as you can automatically bring all your friends to a server much easier. Doing “/party” will display all of its subcommands.

/party leave

/party promote [player]
Promotes a player to a position of power within your party. For [player], put their full username.
/party ignore [true/false]

For [description], explain more in depth what happened and how they broke the rule.
