Create your Play Strawberry account
Open your account with your email address, a 6-digit code, your @handle and a password.
Updated October 28, 2026
One Play Strawberry account works on all our sites: the players' site, the help center and the panel. You open it with your email address. We send you a code to check that the address is yours.
You must be at least 13 years old to open an account.
Step 1: Get your code
- Go to servers.playstrawberry.net and press Sign up at the top.

- Type your email address and press Send code.
- Open the email from Play Strawberry. Its subject starts with your 6-digit code.
The code works for 15 minutes and only once. No email? Check your spam folder. You can ask for a new code after a short wait.
Step 2: Finish your account
- Type the 6-digit code from the email.
- Choose a display name. It is shown on your profile. Other players can use the same name.
- Choose your @handle. Only you can have it. Use 3 to 32 lower-case letters, numbers, - or _, starting with a letter. The page tells you at once if it is free.
- Choose a password and type it twice. Use at least 12 characters, with upper and lower case letters, a number and a symbol.
- Choose your Date of birth: day, month and year. It is never shown on your profile or to other players. If you are under 13, the page says that you cannot open an account.
- Read the Terms of Service and tick I agree to the Terms of Service.
- Press Create account.
You are now signed in.
