Player guide

Connect to splitcraft.net using Java Edition 1.21.x. You'll spawn in the lobby — right-click the holograms around you for an in-game tour.

From the lobby:

• Type /world to open the world menu, then pick Start Survival. You drop from the sky at a random spot with slow-falling — no fall damage.
• After that, /play brings you back to your spawn point any time.
• Place a bed and right-click it to set your respawn point. Without a bed, you respawn at your personal spawn (the random drop point).
• Days are 30 minutes, nights are 30 minutes. Plenty of time to build, but night still feels real.

Use /menu for the hub GUI, /stuck if you get trapped, and /spawn to return to the lobby (30-second warmup from survival).

Claims protect your build from grief and PvP intrusion. Each claim is a 15×15 block area centred on where you stand, lasting 30 days by default. VIPs get 60-day claims at 50% cost.

Cost ramp — each additional claim costs 2.5× the previous one. Max 5 claims per player.

Extending — at any time, /claim manage opens a GUI to add days. Options: +1 day for $100, +7 days for $600, +15 days for $1,200. Max 45 days remaining at any moment.

Trusting — friends inside your claim can build, open chests, and interact with blocks. /claim opens the trust menu inside your claim.

Bonus — /sethome only works inside your own claim. That's intentional — claims define your "real estate."

Currency is the dollar ($). It flows in automatically from playing — no jobs to pick, no commands to remember.

Auto rewards happen as you:

• Mine ores — from cobblestone all the way up to ancient debris.
• Kill mobs — common mobs up through bosses.
• Catch fish, complete advancements.
• Log in daily (streak bonus, maxes after 7 consecutive days).

Track today's haul with /earn.

Global Market — every player has a personal 54-slot shop. List items from your hand with /shop; everyone else can browse the combined Global Market, newest first.

• /shop — open the Global Market or list the item in your hand.
• /shop <player> — visit a specific player's shop.
• /shop remove <slot> — pull an item back.
• /servershop — the admin shop hub (8 vendor categories). Stable buy/sell prices for staples.

Send money with /pay <player> <amount>, check your balance with /balance, see the leaderboard with /baltop.

PvP turns ON every night in the survival world. It's not a toggle — when the sun sets, gloves come off.

• Build walls. Carry a sword. Stay alert near other players' bases.
• Inside your own claim you're safe from PvP block damage and trusted-only interactions — but a player can still walk in and stab you if they're trusted, or if the claim isn't fully enclosed.
• No combat logging. Disconnecting mid-fight is treated as a death — gear may drop.
• No spawn-camping. Give a defeated player at least 30 seconds before re-engaging.

The End and the Nether are always-on PvP — entering them is your consent.

Opt-in permadeath challenge. Type /hardcore at spawn to choose a tier. Death wipes everything — inventory, enderchest, balance, claims, homes — and your name goes on the Memorial board.

HARD and INSANE survivors get a price discount at /servershop (the markup tag on items is reduced based on your tier). Hardcore-only leaderboards track longest streak alive and longest streak survived.

You can leave hardcore at any time with /hardcore leave. Your hardcore stats stay frozen on the memorial; your inventory transfers back to the normal world.

Everything below works for every player. VIPs get extras (multiple homes, lobby flight, colored chat) — see the VIP page.
