Server Guide Contents

Welcome to MCVerse! Use this guide to help you get started and learn about our server features.

Don't get overwhelmed! Besides Getting Started, the features of the server are optional and opt-in!

We are a SURVIVAL-FIRST server. No custom items, enchantments, or skills.

Getting Started

When first joining the server, it's encouraged that you set up a solo camp for yourself or the friends you joined with.

It takes time to meet the community and you'll want a safe bed to respawn to. Use /sethome to create a spawn point for yourself.

Don't worry, you can change this later!

Free Ranks include up to 5 homes, bed, clan home, and 2 player warps. Over 250k claim blocks.

Finding Land

Use /wild to teleport to a random spot
Check the map if you're looking for a specific biome or want to ensure there are no bases nearby

Vanilla Differences

Semi Vanilla Setup

MCV values immersion and vanilla but is created to allow hundreds of players to exist within the same massive world.
Commands of convenience include teleportation, land claims, player markets, gifting, and phantom toggle. To preserve survival gameplay, teleportation is blocked in the nether and the end.
There are no custom enchants, skills, or items. All blocks sold and traded are mined by players in survival mode.

Sleep Mechanics

MCV features a dynamic sleep that fluctuates with the moon cycle, allowing for night time gameplay, turtle hatching, and the convenience of skipping night most of the time.

PaperMC Server

MCV is hosted using papermc software which does effect gameplay, changing some piston and redstone behavior. For better or for worse, most dupes are disabled.

Gameplay Changes

Players can redeem Phantom Toggle in the vote shop.
Backpacks are available for extra storage that is not lost on death.
Dead chests protect player death items and allow a grace period for recovery.
Player markets allow players to spoil themselves - use at your own risk! (Survival is fun!)
Air drops are periodically dropped in the world with supplies. In the future these may be PvP zones.

Nether Portals

As a precaution some entities, including boats, are blocked from teleporting through nether portals.
It is our intentional to eventually allow full vanilla behaviour.

Anticheat, Optimizations

During TPS drops, dense mob farms are temporarily nerfed.
Trader Hall villagers may end up with an "Optimized" tag which reduces their AI. Trading continues to work and restock.
Anti cheat is kept at a minimum to reduce false positives. We have the basics - players not playing survival will be banned.
