r/place in Minecraft

r/place 2023 is live! https://reddit.com/r/place

Unofficial server: place.cerus.dev

r/place is a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on the social networking site Reddit. Originally launched on April Fools' Day 2017, it has since been repeated again on April Fools' Day 2022, and is taking place for a third time on July 20, 2023. The experiment involves an online canvas located at a subreddit called r/place, which registered users could edit by changing the color of a single pixel from a 16-color palette.

> Update July 20 2023

r/place has opened again for a third time. This plugin has been updated to support the new "season". Just follow the installation instructions below.

  4. Restart your server

    1. See 'How to create a Reddit app' if you don't know how to get a client id and secret
  7. Restart your server again
