Quick Start Guide

note

This guide assumes you've already joined the minecraft server.

Spawn

When joining the server for the first time you'll spawn in a area protected by a plugin called Worldguard.

No enemy mobs will spawn for at least 30 blocks down and 120 block up in about 250 block radius so you should be relatively safe.

You can explore the world via Atlas our online map web app thats shows players location in real time. This will also show the borders for the Worldguard spawn protected area.

Atlas Web App Example

The overworld is currently 7,500 blocks radius (15,000 blocks wide) but may increase in the future as new minecraft updates come out that include new biomes.

You will be teleported to either:

  • Your bed.
  • Your nearest home spot set by /sethome command.
  • The World Spawn if you don't have the above options set.
Gravestone Time Limit

You have thirty minutes to reach your grave or it will disappear.

Your chat box will display coordinates of your death and give you a compass that points towards your gravestone. Right clicking while the compass is equipped will tell you how many blocks away you are from your gravestone.

You can use the commannd /graves to manage your gravestones as well, great to use if you die multiple times.
