MCC Island Early Access: How to Join and Start Playing

Minecraft·June 16, 2023·6 min read

MCC Island is live, but early access is not open to everyone for free yet. Players from the closed beta can already return, while new players need to buy a rank before joining. Here is how early access works and what to expect once you arrive.

Closed beta participants can log in to MCC Island without paying again. For everyone else, early access currently requires purchasing a rank through the MCC Island store.

The server is planned to become free to play after early access ends, but no official end date was provided in the source. Until then, a rank is the required route for new players who want to get in.

New Minigames and Features

Early access did not arrive empty-handed. MCC Island already included Battle Box, Sky Battle, TGTTOS, and Hole in the Wall, and the release added Parkour Warrior alongside new maps for the existing games.

The progression systems from the closed beta are still present, but early access also adds a seasonal battle pass with cosmetics and individual game passes for each minigame. That gives players more to unlock while they bounce between matches and pretend they meant to fall there.

First Steps on the Island

After reaching MCC Island, players are first asked to pick their favorite team. This choice can be changed later, but progress does not carry across teams, so it is worth choosing carefully.

From there, the island opens up. Minigames are located near the town center, shops are usually found on the right side of town, and the selected team base should be marked for an early visit. The island also includes secrets for players who like poking around between queues.

What to Do Next

MCC Island early access gives players plenty of directions to take. You can focus on mastering one minigame, explore the town, unlock cosmetics, or save toward items such as the classic MCC crown.

Whether you are returning from closed beta or buying your way into early access, the main loop is simple: pick a team, learn the island, and start queuing for games.
