“Tiefsee” is German for “deep sea”.
The whole world is an ocean. No land, no solid ground – just water as far as the eye can see.
Survive on the surface, dive into the darkness and salvage the riches of the deep before it swallows you.
A survival adventure by Peliikan & Jayjustsayin
The concept
Deep Water
The deeper you go, the darker it gets – and the more valuable your finds. But this is where the drowned live.

Endless Ocean
No more dry land. The entire world is one single, deep sea, and where you start out is down to chance.

Dive Deep
Oxygen becomes your most precious resource. The deeper you dive, the rarer the loot – and the greater the danger.

Salvage the Deep
Ores, wrecks and treasure lie on the seabed and in the caves beneath it. Bring them up before your air runs out.

Dangers of the Deep
Drowned, guardians and creatures of the dark lurk everywhere. Nobody lasts long down here alone.
At the bottom
Seabed
Sand, gravel and stone – the ocean floor, block by block. Dig deeper to reach your first ores.
The darkness
Caves of the Deep
Beneath the seabed, lightless caves open up in the rock. This is where the rarest ores are – and the darkness can hear you breathe.

Custom-built
From Our Own Shipyard
Stuff you won’t find as a download anywhere else: our own server mods, datapacks and a Discord bot, built just for Tiefsee. It all runs on the server – there’s nothing for you to install.

Hafenmeister
Our own Discord bot – the name means “harbour master”. Moderators post Minecraft names in the whitelist channel, and the Hafenmeister checks them with Mojang and lets them straight onto the server. In Discord it shows live whether the server is up and how many players are online.

ProjectE, but fair
All that’s left of ProjectE is the Energy Collector and the Energy Condenser. Burning items no longer gives you EMC – energy only builds up slowly from sunlight, so nothing can be duplicated on a large scale.

Recording Notice
The first time you join, a notice tells you that the server is streamed live and recorded for Twitch and YouTube. Click “Ja” (yes) to start playing – if you decline, you leave the server. Your choice is logged with a timestamp.

Nothing but Sea
The Nether and the End are locked for now. Portal or mod teleporter, it makes no difference: anyone who tries ends up straight back at spawn. The deep comes first.
Right now
