Join Minecraft and accept the rules
Open /guide and accept Getting Started & Rules. You become a Newcomer immediately.
Optional account connection
Play first. Link when you’re ready.
Discord is not required to play. Linking is for Member/Trusted progression, shared Java + Bedrock account tools, community role sync, and leaderboard eligibility.
Run /link
LeafCore creates a 4-digit code. It lasts about five minutes and can be reused while that active session remains valid.
Send the code through the official Discord flow
DM the LeafBound Discord bot with just the 4 digits. If the Discord server exposes its verify channel, codes are also accepted there and deleted immediately before the result is sent privately.
One account, two editions: you may link one active Java profile and one active Bedrock profile to the same Discord-backed LeafBound account.
The detached Minecraft profile temporarily behaves as Newcomer for rank access, but your stored Member/Trusted progression is retained and restored when appropriately relinked.
Use /account in Minecraft to choose your primary linked profile. The public leaderboard uses that profile.
No. Rules acceptance controls gameplay access. Discord identity is optional for playing, though rank progression and Discord-backed features depend on the active link.
