Your first few days

These answers cover common questions when you are new.

Do I start with money?

No. Your starting balance is 0 Spa Coins.

Use /jobs browse to take a job and save up the Spa Coins needed to register a home (/sethome).

See The economy.

Where should I keep my items or base before Lv1?

At Lv0 you can enter the Resource Server and Resource Server 2. If you set up a base, use the Resource Server, which is not regenerated. Lock each chest holding valuables with /bolt lock (short form /lock).

Reach Lv1 with 30 active minutes and 5 advancements to enter the Building Server and protect land there.

See Player levels and Chest locks.

Does changing worlds change my inventory?

No. Inventory is shared across all worlds, so you can carry items between them.

Items in a chest remain in that chest’s world. Take them into your inventory before traveling from a resource world to the Building Server.

Does everyone need to sleep to skip the night?

Only 1 player needs to sleep in a bed. Others may stay awake.

Trying to sleep in the Resource Nether or Resource End causes the bed to explode.

What is the difficulty?

Normal. Monsters spawn at night and in dark areas, and starvation can damage you.

PVP is disabled in every world.

Levels and worlds

Why can I not enter the Building Server?

It requires Lv1: both 30 active minutes and 5 advancements. Check your progress with /level.

See Player levels.

Why is my playtime not increasing while connected?

Standing still or only walking does not count. Activities such as breaking or placing blocks and jumping count as active play.

See Player levels.

How do I reach the Resource Nether or Resource End?

Once you reach Lv1, go through these lobby gates:

  • West gate: Resource Nether
  • West gate 2: Resource Nether 2
  • North gate: Resource End

You can also reach the Resource Nether through Nether portals in the Resource Server. The phone’s travel menu has no entries for the Resource Nether or Resource End.

See Worlds and travel.

How do I reach Resource Server 2?

Go through eastern lobby gate 2 (the northern gate on the east side) or choose 「資源サーバー2へ」 in the phone’s travel menu; you can also enter /mv tp resource2. You can enter from Lv0.

It is regenerated in turn with Resource Nether 2 and the Resource End on Sunday mornings. Resource Server 2’s turn normally comes once every 3 weeks. Anything left there is lost at that time, so bring your items home.

See Worlds and travel.

Target items I got on Resource Server 2 won't stack with my other items

This is not a bug. During an exploration race, target items and ores that smelt into them, obtained in the race world, get an invisible mark. A marked item does not stack with an unmarked item, even of the same kind.

When the race ends, the marks are removed automatically and the items stack normally again. The same applies when Resource Nether 2 or the Resource End is the race world.

Items unrelated to the target never get a mark. If one is still left on an item, it is removed when you open a chest or other container, or when a hopper moves the item.

See Exploration race.

May I bring villagers to the Building Server with Transport Eggs?

Yes. You can use them for shops and other purposes. Buy eggs in /shop.

See Transport Eggs.

How do I return to the lobby?

Use /lobby or /l. You cannot return during the 5 seconds immediately after monster combat.

Why was I automatically moved to the lobby?

After at least 30 minutes without activity outside the lobby, you are moved to its starting point. See Worlds and travel for returning to your previous location.

Are return locations saved separately for the Building and Resource Servers?

Yes. The “last place you left,” used when you re-enter a world, is saved separately for the Building Server, Resource Server, and Resource Server 2. This is separate from your bed respawn point.

Resource Nether and Resource End do not use this system. See re-entering worlds.

Will re-entering a world take me back to where I died?

To return near where you died, use a Return Charm.

Dying in the Building Server, Resource Server, or Resource Server 2 clears that world’s saved last place you left. When you leave a world after respawning, your location at that time is saved again.

Where does a Return Charm take me?

It takes you near your own most recent death location, even from another world. Hold it in your main hand and right-click. One charm is consumed when travel succeeds.

Travel can fail if there is no safe footing nearby or other conditions are not met. See Return Charm usage and conditions.

Can I return to my base quickly?

Stand at your base and save it with /sethome home, then return with /home home. Regular players can register up to 2 homes. Registering or updating a home costs 100 Spa Coins; traveling costs 2.

Traveling to a named home takes you to that home, even if a previous exit location is saved.

See Worlds and travel.

Money and jobs

How do I earn money?

Taking a job and mining, farming, or doing other eligible work is the main method. Shops, auctions, and friend invitations also earn money. Login rewards give items.

See The economy.

Can I have several jobs? Does switching erase levels?

You can have only 1 job at a time, but may switch whenever you like. Each job keeps its own level, which resumes when you return.

See Jobs.

Why am I not receiving job rewards?

The lobby and creative mode do not pay. Breaking blocks you placed yourself or reaching the hourly limit can also prevent rewards.

See reduced or missing job rewards.

Is there a bulk-selling command such as /sell?

No. Sell items through player Shops or Auctions.

Protecting land and belongings

How do I protect land?

You can protect land only in the Building Server, from Lv1. /claimshovel gives you one golden shovel per day. With it, right-click 2 opposite corners of the area you want to protect.

See Land protection.

How do I protect a chest in the Resource Server?

Run /bolt lock or /lock, then click the chest to protect that individual chest.

See Chest locks.

What should I do about griefing or theft?

Use /co inspect to see who interacted with the location. Send what you found to staff with /feedback. Do not confront or expose the other player.

See Investigating griefing and Server rules.

Can items lost on death be returned?

Your items go into a grave where you died. Right-click it within 15 minutes to recover them. Items lost after expiry are generally not compensated or returned.

See Graves and Server rules.

Rules

May I build automated machines?

Fully automatic machines are prohibited. Semi-automatic machines that need player input, such as a button press, are allowed if they do not disrupt the economy.

See Automation.

May I gather resources or use materials from landscaping in the Building Server?

Gather resources in the dedicated resource worlds. Digging or cutting trees in the Building Server just to gather resources, without a building plan, is prohibited.

You may discard dirt, stone, and wood removed while preparing land for construction, use them for landscaping, filling, or building, or sell them.

See the resource gathering rules.

May I stream or upload videos to YouTube?

Yes.

See Server rules.

Getting help

Why can I not use a command?

Availability depends on your level and location. Check /help for available commands and /level for your level.

See the Command reference.
