Starter checklist
- Use
/mapto learn the world and find landmarks. - Gather wood from log piles. Cutting trees works, but gives fewer resources.
- Gather sulfur, iron, and coal from ore piles. Smelt iron ore in a furnace.
- Craft from a workbench or crafting table. Inventory crafting is not the normal path.
- Build your first base away from other players' blocks.
- Use schematics to unlock unknown items in your crafting table.
Protection mode
- You cannot damage other players while protected.
- If a player kills you, you do not lose items.
- If mobs or other causes kill you, hotbar and armor items stay protected.
- You cannot pick up loot from recently killed players.
- You cannot enter boss fights or the enderworld.
- Use the protected time to collect resources, learn routes, and set a spawn bed.

Bases
Building and raiding basics
Main rule: C4 cannot blow downward unless the target blocks are on top of natural resources such as grass, dirt, or sand.
Block ownership
- Your blocks can be destroyed by you, by valid remover use, or by C4 when the block is raid-eligible.
- Players can use
/rmnear their older blocks to remove newer blocks placed too close. - Removal range is 2 blocks for Survivor, 3 for Premium, and 4 for Platinum.
- Most reinforced blocks are destroyed when you manually break them.
Doors and tiers
- Iron Doors cannot be destroyed by explosives.
- Wood Doors and Trap Doors can be destroyed by explosives.
- Doors are auto-protected against other players.
- You can vault over a door if there is a one-block gap above it: jump and right-click the door.
Block durability
- Wood, bullet-proof glass, and many misc blocks start at 1 C4.
- Stonebrick starts at 2 C4.
- Upgrades add C4 resistance: reinforced, iron-plated, titanium-reinforced, and titanium-plated.
- Iron Doors are treated separately and are not a C4 target.
TNT terrain tools
TNT is mainly for shaping natural terrain around a base, not for raiding player blocks.
| Mode | Best use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Destroy Cave | Expand rooms or tunnels. | Place TNT higher on a wall for a wider result. |
| Destroy Wall | Flatten terrain or carve a straight path. | Usually the most efficient mode for walkways. |
| Destroy Tree | Remove standard trees. | Very large or connected trees may fail. |
- Place TNT, click it, choose a mode, then review the highlighted blocks.
- Break the TNT during the countdown if the selected area is wrong.
- If TNT fails to highlight blocks, needed chunks may not be loaded.
- The target area must be raid-eligible for TNT to work.
04
Team play
Factions
Claims and members
- Create a faction with
/f create <name>. - Place a Faction Block where you want the main claim.
- Expand by crafting and placing more faction blocks in unclaimed chunks.
- Larger claims allow more players to be invited.
- Higher faction power allows more allies.
Perks and raiding
- Faction perk points come from events such as Strongholds and tournaments.
- Spend them with
/f perks. - Allied factions show dark green and can raid or play events with you.
- If a main Faction Block is destroyed, turrets can become hostile to everyone nearby.
05
PvP and PvE
Combat, guns, and armor
Armor
- The sword icon by a player's name and on the scoreboard shows combined armor level.
- The tablist is sorted by armor level, with stronger sets higher up.
- Projectile protection matters most against bullets. Normal protection still helps.
- Kevlar is the strongest general armor. Leather can be good, but has lower base defense.
- Kevlar Vests have Kevlar stats, but cannot be repaired.
Special armor
- Ghillie armor hides your name while sneaking and can hide you from anti-ESP checks when not visible.
- Taking damage breaks ghillie stealth for a short time.
- Legendary ghillie pieces with Ender Vanish let a full ghillie set go invisible by sneaking.
- Anti-radiation armor reduces radiation by 25% per piece.
- A full anti-radiation set blocks regular radiation, but not critical levels.
Gun notes
- AA-12 is a close-range automatic shotgun.
- AK47 is the most straightforward all-around gun.
- ACR and L8 are high-fire-rate guns for medium-range combos.
- Snipers reward distance and headshots. Left-click to zoom in.
- UZI and P90 are high-hit-rate close-range guns.
- Heavy LMG accuracy drops when jumping.
FairPlay balance
- FairPlay teams are not capped by size.
- Larger teams deal reduced damage to smaller teams during uneven fights.
- Larger teams receive stronger friendly-fire penalties.
- Ally hits from heavily outnumbering teams can briefly slow the teammate who was hit.
- Grapple damage follows FairPlay rules when the owner is already in a FairPlay fight.
- Damage from players outside the fight is heavily reduced.
Critical hits
- Landing shots without missing raises your crit threshold.
- Switching between guns efficiently also raises your crit threshold.
- At 100%, each hit deals increased damage.
- Green particles and hit-marker sounds indicate critical hits.
Water increases damage taken.
Anti-radiation pills reduce radiation over time.
Anvils repair tools and weapons.
Nitrogen Guns can slow enemies and delay Iron Door closing.
