r/place in Minecraft
r/place has ended. Thank you for the support! If you have any questions feel free to contact me on Discord: Cerus#5149
Unofficial r/place Minecraft server: place.cerus.dev
Place is a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on the social networking site Reddit that began on April Fools' Day 2017 and was revived again after 5 years on April Fools' Day 2022. 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 April 5
r/place has officially ended. This plugin will now retire and maybe return if there ever is a third r/place. A timelapse function has been added that displays the complete history of the 2022 r/place event. Huge thanks to https://rplace.space/ (u/risson67, u/prosto_sanja) for the data!
To enable timelapse mode do the following:
- Download the latest release
- Make sure you have at least one 16 x 16 screen
- Put the new config contents into your
minecraft-place/config.yml
and settimelapse.enable
totrue
- Restart your server
How it works
The plugin connects to a Reddit websocket that controls the canvas. After authenticating the plugin is able to subscribe to canvas updates.
