Getting started¶
Your first hour, in order. If you only remember one command, make it /menu.
1. Join and look around the hub¶
You spawn in the hub. Each gate leads to a different world: walk in to go there. Floating labels over the gates say what each one is. See Worlds and the hub for the full list.
On your first join you get:
- a Server Guide book;
- a golden shovel for claiming land;
- starter tools and $500.
2. Go to Survival¶
Walk into the Survival gate. The first time, it drops you at a random spot in the wild. After that it brings you back where you left off.
Want a different spot? /rtp (or /wild) teleports you somewhere random. It costs $50 each time.
3. Join a job¶
Type /jobs and pick one or two. Jobs pay you for things you'd do anyway:
| Job | Paid for |
|---|---|
| Builder | Earns money for building structures. |
| Digger | Earns money for terraforming the world. |
| Enchanter | Earns money enchanting weapons. |
| Explorer | Earns money from exploring map. |
| Farmer | Earns money farming crops. |
| Fisherman | Earns money from fishing. |
| Hunter | Earns money killing animals and monsters. |
| Miner | Earns money mining minerals and ores. |
| Woodcutter | Earns money felling and planting trees |
You can hold 2 jobs at Stone rank, more as you rank up. Each job also has a daily quest: /jobs quests. Exact pay: Jobs and pay.
4. Claim your base¶
Before you build anything you care about, claim it. Hold the golden shovel, right-click one corner of your area, then the opposite corner. You start with 1,000 claim blocks. Details: Land and plots.
Lost the shovel? /claimtool gives you a new one (once an hour).
5. Set a home¶
/sethome saves where you're standing. /home takes you back. Stone rank gets 2 homes, more with each rank.
6. Make money and rank up¶
- Sell what you gather with
/shop, or/sellto sell your whole inventory. Raw ores, diamonds and coal sell with no daily limit. - Claim your kits every day with
/kits: daily, weekly and monthly rewards for your rank. - When you have $5,000, buy Copper in
/ranks. Then keep climbing.
Copper takes about 2 hours of play. Netherite is a long-term goal: roughly 80 to 100 hours.
