A few useful things to know

Questions and useful info

Quick answers for your first visit, your next build, and the little things that make life on the homestead easier.

Can I teleport home or back to my base?

There is no /tp, /home or /back. Use normal Minecraft travel and respawn mechanics, including setting your bed. The community also has a Nether roof highway and directional warps.

Can I silk-touch spawners?

No. Spawners cannot be picked up with Silk Touch. The server keeps survival at its core, with the features described on our About page.

How do I claim my base?

Use a golden shovel to select two opposite corners of the land you want to claim. Open /menu for more claim options.

How do I earn claim blocks?

Earn claim blocks through voting or playtime. Use /votelist for voting sites.

How can I share an item, inventory or location in chat?

Use [item] while holding an item, [inv] for your inventory, [ender] for your ender chest, or [pos] to share your coordinates.

Why do the leaves look wrong?

If leaves look wrong with the server resource pack, try setting leaves to Fancy or Smart in your video settings.

How do I change the server resource pack setting?

In Minecraft’s Multiplayer list, select the server and choose Edit. Set the server resource pack preference there, or choose Prompt to decide when joining.

How do voting and support work?

Use /votelist for voting sites and /vote to open the vote shop. Supporter perks are mostly cosmetic or small conveniences, and are also available through voting. Store support helps cover hosting and plugin maintenance.
