Joining the server
The address, the whitelist, and why renaming breaks nothing.
The address
play.everdawn.netAdd it to your server list in game. The address is public on purpose: what keeps the server private is the whitelist, not a secret hostname.
The whitelist
A pass is bound to the account's UUID, not to its username. So:
- renaming breaks nothing — access follows the account;
- only the account whose username you paid with can join;
- a typo at checkout shows up immediately: the form resolves the account against Mojang before payment and will not take one that does not exist.
How long it takes
Seconds. The payment is confirmed by a webhook and the account reaches the whitelist without a human in the loop. If the money left your account and the server still refuses you, look here.
