How CrabSMP Works

Bedrock Native

Built for Bedrock from the ground up. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Mobile, and Windows 10/11 players all share one world and one economy.

Lifesteal

Start on 10 hearts and climb toward a 30 heart cap. Every kill steals a heart, every death gives one away. Lose your last life and you are down until a teammate revives you.

Player-Run Economy

List loot on the auction house, post coin bounties on your rivals, and send coins straight to friends. Prices are set by the people playing, not by staff.

Progression, Not Paywall

Crate keys come from voting, playtime milestones, and daily rewards. Quests grant XP toward 100 RPG levels. Donations keep the lights on, nothing more.

Philosophy

The Crab Philosophy

We built CrabSMP because we were tired of servers that treat players like wallets. Here survival means actual survival. You build, you fight, you lose hearts, you adapt. The economy is yours. The stories are yours. We just keep the lights on and the lag low.

Free To Play. Always. Community Votes Matter. Backend Updated Weekly.
Under The Hood

What Makes It Tick

Under the hood it is a carefully tuned ecosystem of systems built to work together. Here is what is running while you play.

Factions & Land Claims

Found a faction for 10,000 coins, recruit a crew, and claim the land around your base in 16, 32, or 64 block plots. Shared faction bank, faction homes, and roles from member to leader.

Lifesteal & Revives

Hearts are the prize. Win fights to push toward a 30 heart cap. Lose your last life and you are out until a teammate gathers revive souls and builds a revive beacon to bring you back.

Player-Run Economy

An auction house, coin bounties, player to player transfers, and a coin shop. Prices move with the playerbase, and staff never undercut the market.

Crates, Quests & Levels

Roll crate keys earned from voting, playtime, and daily rewards for loot. Complete quests for XP and grind your way through 100 RPG levels.

Smart Spawners

Mine mob spawners, stack them together, and let them bank loot and XP while you are away. The whole stack is managed from a clean in game menu.

Teleports & Homes

Set multiple homes, send TPA requests, jump to warps, return to your last spot with back, or wild teleport into untouched land.

Joining

Join: How It Actually Works

PC & Mobile

  • Open Minecraft Bedrock → Servers → Add Server
  • Server IP: play.crabsmp.net
  • Port: 19132 (leave it at the default)

Console (Xbox, PlayStation, etc)

  • Method 1: Join through the Realm code vDruZhrrg9W64Zs and accept the invite
  • Method 2: Add JoinCrabMC as a friend on Minecraft, wait 30 seconds, then join their world
  • Method 3: Use BedrockTogether with the IP and port above

First thing to do: Your one time starter kit is handed to you the moment you join. Type /wild to teleport into fresh land, then link your Discord account in game to claim the bonus Discord kit.

Game acting up? Restart Minecraft before asking staff for help. It fixes most connection problems on its own.

Sharing Wi-Fi with a sibling? Open a ticket in our Discord support channel so we can whitelist both accounts, otherwise the anti-alt system will flag you.

No whitelist. Just join and play.

Where Your Money Goes

CrabSMP is free to play and always will be. Ranks are quality-of-life and cosmetics, they never touch combat. Gear kits are a different story: they hand you a real advantage, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. Either way, every penny goes straight into hosting, upkeep and development.

Opening the Store

You are about to leave crabsmp.net. Our official store lives at store.crabsmp.net, where every purchase goes straight back into the server.
