First-session onboarding for new Pinecraft Equestrian players.
Welcome to Pinecraft Equestrian
Pinecraft Equestrian is a family-friendly Minecraft network built around horses, a kind and supportive community, progression, and fierce, yet good-natured, competition.
Whether you dream of becoming a skilled rider, raising foals, entering races, building your home, or simply enjoying a welcoming equestrian world, this guide will help you get started.
What is Pinecraft Equestrian?
Pinecraft Equestrian is a horse-focused Minecraft network built for horse-game YouTuber Abigail Pinehaven, her fans and all Minecraft players who enjoy equestrian-themed game worlds, progression, training, competition, and community.
At the centre of the experience is the SMP world, where you can build your journey as a rider, breeder, racer, and horse owner.
The network is designed to offer more than standard survival gameplay. Horses are not just simple mounts here — they are part of a much deeper system that allows you to train them, care for them, race them, and bond with them over time.
Constantly evolving and enhancing the game world's elements and features, Pinecraft Equestrian aims to provide the premier equine experience in Minecraft.
Whether you want to relax, compete, collect, or become a recognised rider in the community, Pinecraft Equestrian is built for you.
Network Overview
When you join Pinecraft Equestrian, you connect to the IP:
pinecraftequestrian.com
This takes you to the Lobby, which acts as the central hub of the network.
From the Lobby, you can:
- explore minigames
- access the modded RRP world
- access the SMP world
The SMP server is where the main gameplay takes place, including the ModN Equine horse system.
The SMP server does not have SWEM downloaded on it and is cross-platform for both bedrock and java.
To play the modded version, a subscription needs to be purchased from the Pinecraft Equestrian Store.
How to Start Playing
Getting started on Pinecraft Equestrian is simple, and the server will guide you through your first steps.
1. Join the Network
Open Minecraft and connect using:
pinecraftequestrian.com
When you join, you will arrive in the Lobby.
2. Head to the SMP
From the Lobby, make your way to the SMP server by entering the portal on your right.
This is where the main Pinecraft Equestrian experience takes place, including horses, training, breeding, racing, and more.
3. Complete the SMP Tutorial
When you first join the SMP, you will be taken through a short tutorial.
This serves as an introduction to the server and gives you some useful starter items to begin your journey.
This tutorial includes:
- a Plot Claim Item, which you can place in the wilderness to create your own protected plot
- a visit to Pineton Stables, where you get to choose your first horse
4. Choose Your First Horse
At the end of the tutorial, you will visit Pineton Stables.
There, you will get to choose your first horse through a breed selection menu.
For your very first horse, only mountable breeds are available. Smaller miniature breeds become available later, once you already own at least one mountable horse.
After that, your journey as a rider can begin.
5. Claim Your Plot
Once you are ready to settle in, use your Plot Claim Item wherever you would like to create your protected area.
This gives you a place to build and begin your life on the server.
