Legacies
A vanilla-style overhaul of Minecraft, covering installation, servers, and everything Legacies changes.
Welcome to Legacies — a comprehensive overhaul of Minecraft focused on fulfilling the vanilla style in a unique, highly custom and integrated manner.
Here you can find all there is to know about Legacies, including installation, progression and more. This wiki prioritises explaining game mechanics and progression, so much of the new content is meant to be found in-game rather than listed here.

Multiplayer & Servers
Legacies features two public SMPs — a global (EU) one available for all to join, and a smaller AU one, which requires whitelisting. Both are pre-added to the server list in fresh installs of Legacies.
To host your own multiplayer server, see the Server Hosting Guide.
Alternatively, you can play with others by opening any world to Multiplayer in the pause menu, which creates a temporary IP for your friends to join using e4mc.
