New to TWS? Start Here

First of all, welcome! We are happy that you are wanting to join our server! The Wooden Spoon is a whitelisted, semi-vanilla Minecraft server.

What's so special about TWS?

  • A friendly community - Most people who learn about TWS learn through their friends! TWS has a kind community that often works together on projects. One of our events include fighting the Ender Dragon together as a community.
  • Mature players - Our 16+ age requirement ensures a certain level of maturity and respect of our players.
  • Trust-based server - There are no mods for plot claiming, meaning each player is thoroughly vetted through their application.
  • No teleport commands - We use nether ice bridges and portals. Although it might seem like a big task, this brings a sense of community by encouraging players to help others, to physically make the trip to their friend's location to trade, lend materials, and chat.
