The server goes live on Saturday the 20th of December 2025 at 8:00PM!

Happy holidays and welcome to the 2025 Minecraft server!

The details for joining are in the box below. However, before you can join, you'll need to be invited to the Faffin' About Discord server and post your Minecraft username in the #whitelist channel.

Client: Java Edition

Version: 1.21.11

Server: craft.mcfarlane.cam

Modpack

While this server can be played on by a vanilla (unmodded) client, I highly recommend you add the proximity voice chat mod to your client and join in on the fun. To help get you all set-up quickly, I've bundled a selection of mods into a pack which is available for download below.

⤵ faffpack-1.21.11

Sodium: Rendering optimization overhaul, similar to OptiFine.

Entity Culling: More performance improvements by skipping rendering of entities you can't see.

Iris Shaders: Support for shaders.

Simple Voice Chat: In-game proximity voice chat.

Sound Physics Remastered: Sound reverberations - including proximity chat.

Ambient Sounds: Makes the game feel more alive with rushing wind, birds chirping, cave rumbles, etc.

Shoulder Surfing Reloaded: A greatly improved third-person view.

Not Enough Animations: More animations - eating/drinking, holding maps, climbing, etc.

Subtle Effects: Adds a bunch of subtle sounds and particles.

Fresh Animations: More lively mob animations.

Chat Heads: Player character heads in the chat.

...and a bunch of other mod dependencies you don't care about :)

Modpack Installation

Note: this will create a separate instance of Minecraft using Installations in the Minecraft Launcher. Any existing mods or worlds you have in your default installation will be left untouched.

The following steps assume that you're running Windows and have the Minecraft Launcher installed. If one of these is not the case, see the Help! section at the bottom of this page.

  1. Close Minecraft and the Minecraft Launcher if either are running.
  2. Navigate to the .minecraft directory by using the Win + R keyboard shortcut, entering %appdata% into the Run window and hitting Ok.
  3. Open the faffpack-1-1.21.11.zip by double clicking on it.
  4. Copy the .faff-1.21.11 and versions folders from the faffpack-1-1.21.11.zip into the .minecraft directory.
  5. Open the Minecraft Launcher and select Minecraft: Java Edition from the left sidebar.
  6. Click on the Installations tab at the top, followed by the New installation button. Pick an icon and enter a name of your choosing.
  7. Click the version dropdown, type "fabric" and select fabric-loader-0.18.2-1.21.11 from the list.
  8. Configure the game directory by clicking the browse button and selecting the .faff-1.21.11 folder inside your .minecraft directory and clicking the Upload button.
  9. In the bottom-right corner, untick the Launch after Install checkbox and click the Install button.
  10. If not already selected, find your new installation in the dropdown to the left of the Play button. Hit the Play button and accept the warning. Minecraft should launch successfully!

Modpack Uninstallation

  1. Close Minecraft and the Minecraft Launcher if either are running.
  2. Navigate to the .minecraft directory by using the Win + R keyboard shortcut, entering %appdata% into the Run window and hitting Ok.
  3. Open the .faff-1.21.11 folder and copy any worlds out of the saves folder which you wish to keep.
  4. Go back to the .minecraft directory and delete the .faff-1.21.11 directory.
