Your First Steps
Once you spawn, here’s what we recommend doing first:
- Read the spawn signs — they contain essential server info.
- Pick up your starter kit by running
/kit starter(available to all Wanderer rank players). - Find a spot to settle — use
/rtpto teleport to a random wilderness location. - Claim your land before building anything. See the Land Claims guide.
- Set a home with
/sethomeonce you find your spot.

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#generalDiscord channel.
