fragmentsSigning up
Claiming an invitation, making an account, and what the access code is for.
Two ways in, and both start with somebody handing you something. An invitation arrives by email carrying its own access code, or you are given a code on its own to redeem against an account you make yourself.
If you were invited by email
One message with one link in it. The link is the credential, so treat it like a password: whoever opens it first is the account it attaches to.
We would like you on the Fragments beta.
The link below is yours and carries your access code, so there is nothing to type in: make an account and you are through.

Everything is free during the beta, hosting included.

What the link does, in order:
- YouOpen the linkIt takes you to the sign-up page with the invitation attached, so the wizard asks for an account and nothing else.
- YouMake the accountMicrosoft, Discord, or an email address and a password. Accept the beta agreement, which is the one thing an invitation never skips.
- UsNo verification emailOpening the invitation already proved you can read that inbox, so an account made with the invited address is confirmed on the spot.
- UsThe invitation is claimed and the code is spentThis is the step the invitation exists to remove. You are not asked to type a code, because the link was carrying one.
- YouYou land on the dashboardFrom here the next thing to do is install the mod.
If you were given a code
Three steps. The first is the account, at /signup; the other two are the code and the game, at /welcome, which is where every way of signing in ends up until a code is on the account. An interruption costs nothing: signing in again puts you back at whichever step is still open.
Choose how you sign in
On the siteIf you already have a code on the account
You never see step two. The site checks with the coordinator on every sign-in, and an account that holds access goes straight to the dashboard. There is no button to skip the step, because there is no longer anything to skip.
What the messages mean
What the site says back when a code does not work, quoted exactly so you can match it against your screen.
- Does not exist
- “That code does not exist. Check it and try again.” Usually a typo, or a code from a different service. They are not case sensitive.
- Expired or full
- “That code is expired, full, or disabled.” Codes can be issued with a limited number of seats, and a wave’s codes can be turned off after it closes. Ask whoever gave it to you for a fresh one.
- Your own code
- “That is your own affiliate code — it can’t be redeemed on your account.” Affiliate codes are for other people.
- Already redeemed
- Redeeming a code you already hold is treated as success, because the thing you wanted is already true.
- No answer
- “That didn’t go through. Try again shortly.” Nothing was spent. The code is still good.
Getting a code in the first place
The waitlist. Codes come from us in waves, and no account is required to join the list, though making one lets you see which stage you are at and link the Minecraft and Discord accounts that make a group easier to let in.
Signing in from then on
- Every way into the account lands on the same worlds. If you signed up with an email address and later want to use Microsoft, connect it on the account page rather than making a second account.
- Forgotten passwords are reset from the sign-in page, which sends a link to your address.
- If you have turned on an authenticator app, five wrong codes lock the account and it has to be unlocked by us.
