Getting whitelisted is simple — here's how, plus everything you need for your first hour on the server
Get in touch
Reach out to an admin to request whitelist access. We keep it invite-based to maintain a good community. If you know someone already on the server, have them vouch for you.
Join our Discord or message an admin directlyProvide your Java username
We need your exact Minecraft Java Edition username to add you to the whitelist. Make sure you have a legit Java Edition account — Bedrock/cracked are not supported.
Get added and connect
Once whitelisted, add the server to your multiplayer list and connect:

Explore and build
You'll spawn at the server spawn point. Accept the resource pack prompt (optional), check out the area, and find a spot to build. You start as [New] and earn ranks through gameplay.
What to Expect on Day One
- You'll be asked to accept the server resource pack (optional, ~50MB)
- You start with $500, a basic starter kit, and 2 home slots
- Commands available immediately:
/tpa,/spawn,/home,/balance,/msg - If you die, your items and 70% of your XP are stored in a grave at your death location for 15 minutes. Only you can open it. You'll receive a recovery compass on respawn pointing to your grave. If the grave can't be placed safely, your inventory is preserved
- A scoreboard sidebar tracks your rank, progression, and stats in real time — it's always visible. Check detailed progress with
/ranks - Idle timeout is 30 minutes — you'll be kicked if AFK
First Hour on the Server
A step-by-step walkthrough for your first session — follow these in order and you'll be set up in no time.
Spawn tour
Look around spawn, read the signs, and find the path out. Spawn is a protected area — you cannot build or break blocks here, but it is a great place to orient yourself before heading into the world.
Claim your first base
Find a spot away from spawn that you like. Hold your golden shovel and right-click one corner of the area you want, then right-click the opposite corner. Your claim is created instantly — only you (and players you trust) can build there.
Start earning money
Mine cobblestone, stone, coal, and other raw materials, then use /sell hand to sell what you are holding. Cobblestone pays $0.40 each — a full stack of 64 is worth $25.60. Everything you dig up has value; check /worth for prices.
Check your progress
The scoreboard sidebar on the right shows your current rank, what you need for the next rank, and your balance in real time. Run /ranks for a detailed breakdown of every rank requirement.
Claim daily rewards
Run /daily to open the rewards GUI and claim your streak bonus. Day 1 pays $200 and the rewards escalate through a 7-day cycle — log in each day to keep your streak going.
Set your home
Once you have a base started, stand inside your claim and run /sethome. You can return anytime with /home — you start with 2 home slots.
First purchase
Save up from selling raw materials and open /shop when you need base supplies like food, building blocks, or spawners. The server shop buys and sells raw materials only — crafted gear like tools and armor must come from player shops or your own crafting table.

Common Questions
Where should I build?
Anywhere outside spawn! Find a spot you like, claim it with your golden shovel, and start building. Keep a reasonable distance from other players' bases — use a stick to right-click blocks and inspect who owns nearby land.
Can I play with friends?
Yes! Use /trust <player> to give friends build access inside your claim. Use /tpa and /tpaccept to teleport to each other. You can also pay friends with /pay <player> <amount> or trade items through chest shops.
What happens when I die?
A grave spawns at your death location holding your items and 70% of your XP for 15 minutes. You receive a recovery compass on respawn pointing to the grave, and only you can open it. If the grave cannot be placed safely, your inventory is preserved.
How do I make money?
Mine and sell raw materials with /sell hand. Cobblestone, stone, ores — everything you dig up has value. Check /worth to see prices for any item. Open /shop to buy and sell from the server, or visit player chest shops for crafted items.
What can't I sell to the server?
Crafted items like tools, armor, potions, and processed blocks cannot be sold to the server shop. Those can only be sold to other players through chest shops. The server economy focuses on raw materials — ores, logs, crops, and mob drops.
What mods can I use?
Allowed: OptiFine, Sodium, Lithium, Iris Shaders, EMF/ETF, Fabric API, minimaps (no cave or entity radar), and inventory sorting mods. Not allowed: x-ray texture packs, hacked clients, or any mod that gives an unfair advantage.
How long until I rank up?
Member rank takes about 24 hours of playtime along with mining and combat milestones. Check /ranks or the scoreboard sidebar for your exact progress toward the next rank — requirements are tracked automatically.
What's the resource pack?
An optional ~50MB pack offered when you join that upgrades textures to Faithful 64x with animated mobs (Fresh Animations). Accept the prompt to download it automatically — no mods or manual setup needed. It is entirely optional and does not affect gameplay.
