# What Is a Gens Server in Minecraft?

**Short answer:** A gens server is a Minecraft gamemode where you place generators that produce items on a timer, sell the output, and spend the money on better generators. The loop is simple, the numbers grow fast, and most servers add pets, events and leaderboards on top. Play on TalonMC at `play.talonmc.net`.

**Server IP:** `play.talonmc.net` (Java) · Bedrock: same address, port `19132`

## How a gens server works

- **Get your first generator.** New players start with a basic generator on their own plot or island.

- **Collect and sell.** The generator drops items on a timer. Pick them up and sell them.

- **Upgrade.** Spend the money on higher-tier generators, which produce more valuable items.

- **Repeat and climb.** More generators, higher tiers, bigger income, and a spot on the leaderboard.

## Gens vs Skyblock vs tycoon

| Mode | **Core loop** |
| --- | --- |

| Gens | Generators produce items, you sell and upgrade. |
| --- | --- |

| Skyblock | Build an island from almost nothing and level skills. |
| --- | --- |

| Tycoon | Buy droppers and conveyors in a fixed layout, mostly hands-off. |
| --- | --- |

## What to look for in a gens server

- A tier ladder that keeps going, so upgrades still matter after day one.

- Something to do between collections: worlds to work, bosses, events.

- Java and Bedrock support if your friends play on console or mobile.

- A fair store. Generators should be earned, not bought.
