Install Cretania

Cretania is its own engine on top of Minecraft 26.3, not a modpack: no loose mods, no loaders. One installer puts everything in your launcher and the game keeps itself up to date.

Server address: mc.cretania.net

In 3 steps

  1. Download — The installer for your system. It brings its own Java: nothing else needed.
  2. Open it — Pick your launcher (the official one, Prism, Modrinth, CurseForge…) and click Install.
  3. Play — Open your launcher, choose the Cretania profile and hit Play. Join mc.cretania.net.

Every time you hit Play it updates itself. The version is mandatory: if the server moves to a new version, the game updates, restarts and tells you why.

Android & iPhone

The same server as on PC, with touch controls. Android installs from the APK; iPhone needs SideStore and a computer, just once. Both apps are in beta.

Android

  • Android 10 or newer
  • 4 GB of RAM or more
  • Vulkan (almost every phone from the last few years)
  • Wi-Fi recommended the first time
  1. Download the APK with the yellow button.
  2. Open it. Android will ask permission to install apps from your browser: allow it (only the first time).
  3. Open Cretania, tap “Check my phone” and then “Install Cretania”: it downloads Minecraft from Mojang and Cretania from our server.
  4. Tap Play. Every time you play, the app and the game update themselves.

iPhone

Apple doesn’t allow Java games to be installed from a website: the app is signed on your iPhone with your Apple ID (SideStore), and Java runs fast thanks to JIT (StikDebug).

  1. Prepare the iPhone. Install LocalDevVPN from the App Store, open it and tap Connect. It’s a local VPN: nothing leaves your iPhone.
  2. On your computer, just once. On Windows, install iTunes first. Install and open iloader, plug in the iPhone, tap Trust and sign in with your Apple ID (it goes to Apple; Cretania never sees it). Click “Install SideStore” and then, under StikDebug, “Install”.
  3. Allow it on the iPhone. Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → your Apple ID → Trust. Then Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode → turn on (it restarts).
  4. Install Cretania. With LocalDevVPN connected, open the mobile page on your iPhone and tap “Add Cretania to SideStore”; then Install.
  5. Play. Open Cretania from StikDebug (not from its icon): that turns on JIT so Java runs fast.

FAQ

Is it a modpack? Do I need Forge, NeoForge or Fabric?
No. Cretania is its own engine on top of Minecraft 26.3: there are no loose mods or loaders to install. The installer puts everything in your launcher.
What’s the server address?
mc.cretania.net, no port. If you had another one saved (with :25566 or from the old 1.21.1 network), switch to this one.
Is it free? Which version of Minecraft do I need?
Joining is free. It runs on Java Edition 26.3, and the installer sets up the right version for you. On Android and iPhone the app takes care of it.
Why does it tell me to update?
Everyone plays on the same version as the server. When a new one is out, the game updates and restarts by itself when you hit Play.
Why is there no Nether or End?
The new world started with both closed. What used to come only from the Nether is sold at the staff shops.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. Most of the community speaks Spanish, but text chat arrives translated into your language, so you can play in English.
