Your First Steps

Once you spawn, here’s what we recommend doing first:

  1. Read the spawn signs — they contain essential server info.
  2. Pick up your starter kit by running /kit starter (available to all Wanderer rank players).
  3. Find a spot to settle — use /rtp to teleport to a random wilderness location.
  4. Claim your land before building anything. See the Land Claims guide.
  5. Set a home with /sethome once you find your spot.

Useful Beginner Commands

Command What it does
/kit starter Claim your one-time starter kit
/rtp Random teleport into the wilderness
/sethome Save your current location as home
/home Teleport back to your saved home
/spawn Return to the server spawn
/tpa <player> Request to teleport to another player
/money Check your balance

For the complete command list, see the Commands & Plugins page.

Tips for New Players

  • Don’t build at spawn. The area around spawn is protected. Explore at least 1,000 blocks out.
  • Claim early. Unclaimed land can be built on or looted by other players — see Land Claims.
  • The economy matters. You can earn money by selling items at player shops or the server shop (/shop).
  • Ranks unlock over time. Just by playing you’ll advance from Wanderer → Settler → Villager → Elder, each with new perks.
  • Ask for help. Use /helpme <question> or ask in the #general Discord channel.
