MeepCraft, Quick Start Guide

Here is everything you need to know to get started with MeepCraft, the world's greatest Minecraft server. The official website for Meepcraft is at http://meepcraft.com. Definitely spend some time checking out that site, especially the rules. What it lacks, however, is a comprehensive getting started guide. So here it is.

  14. About Commands


Commands are keywords that tell Meepcraft to do something. Perhaps the first command you should learn is /spawn. Enter it by typing it, complete with the initial / character, on your keyboard while in MeepCraft. /spawn will take you back to the server's home, called Spawn.

  1. Minigames

One of the first things you'll probably want to do is play some minigames. These are games within MeepCraft that you can play against (or with) other players. Playing (and winning) games is one of the best ways to earn Meebles (money) in Meepcraft. Go to /spawn and browse, or use the following shortcuts to get to your favorite game:

/hg - Hunger Games - Compete to survive with other players to the death with timed chest drops. Right click the feather you spawn with in the game to choose from one of the kits.

/skyblock - Skyblock - Claim a miniature island floating in the sky and use the few resources you have to earn acheivements and gain additional resources. The MeepCraft community adds a whole new dimension to the game.

/boomo - Boomo - A MeepCraft original game. Navigate a maze of shrubs and explode your way through it (and other players) with TNT. Last one standing wins.

/tntrun - TtT Run - Every block of sand you step on dissapears. If you fall through the hole you lose the game. The last player wins the game.

/ctf - Capture The Flag - Work with your team to gather resources and equipment, capture the other team's flag from their base, and post it on your home base's post.

/halo - Halo - The first person shooter you know and love, Minecraft style.

/parkour - Parkour - Test your skill in running and jumping on some very challenging courses.

  1. Communicating with Other Players

There's a steady chat stream going on 24/7 at MeepCraft. The ever-present moderators are strict about no swearing, no drug references, no CAPS, and no spamming (saying anything 2+ times in a row). Violate these and you'll get booted fast. Unfortunately, there's no way to turn off the chat.

Chat is scoped to your location as follows:

Local Chat - People in your general vicinity will "hear" you. Just use the "t" key to open the chat prompt and type away. You can also do /l message, but why would you.

Town Chat - People in your town will hear you. Use /tc message.

World Chat - People in the world you're in will hear you. For example, Spawn, Alpha Towns, Beta Towns, Skyblock, Wilds, etc. Use /w message.

Global Chat - Everyone on the server will hear you. Use /g message

Private Message - You can also communicate player-to-player using /msg PlayerName message. This would send "message" privately to the player named PlayerName.

Mail - If the player you want to talk to isn't online (or paying attention to chat) you can use /mail send PlayerName message to send the player mail. Use /mail read to read your mail, and /mail clear to delete all messages.

If you're wondering if a player is online, you can use the Tab key on your keyboard to display the list of players online. You can also use /seen PlayerName to get the date and location they were last online and what their Meebles balance is.

Finally, if you need help, use /modreq message to send a message to a moderator. Be patient, stay online and pay attention to incoming messages. Be sure to thank them for their help - they're not getting paid.

  1. The Wild

The Wild is the place where you can roam around freely, break and set blocks, chop wood, mine and hunt. The Wild is PVP, meaning other players can kill you and take your stuff. The Wild also gets periodically reset, meaning everything gets wiped and regenerated. You also can't protect your stuff, so putting it in chests in the wild and leaving is leaving it up for grabs for anyone who finds it. Use the Wild to get raw materials, but keep your stuff safe in Towns (more on this below).

Use /wild to go to the Wild spawn point. Better yet, use /rp to go to directly to a random position in the Wild.

  1. Buying and Selling Stuff

MeepCraft has a very cool frictionless economy. Money is called Meebles and is price fixed based on the supply and demand of gold ingots with periodic manipulation to keep it stable. In shop commands, items are generally named what you see when they're in your inventory. If you're not sure of the name of a certain item, ask around.

/bal - Check your balance.

/price item - Check the price of an item. For example, /price cooked chicken

/buy 1 item - Buy the specified quantity of an item. The Meebles to pay for it is taken from your account. For example, /buy 1 stone sword

/sell 1 item - Sell the specified quantity of an item. The Meebles are automatically deposited into your account.

/sellhand - Sells all of what you're holding in your hand.

/bank - Teleports to the Bank, where you can trade gold by clicking on special signs. Note that you can't /buy or /sell gold.

  1. Earning Money

Money is quite useful in Meepcraft, and new users often wonder what's the best way to earn money. Learning how to earn tons of money is part of the game and fun of Meepcraft, but here are a few relatively simple ways to get fast cash:

Vote - Do /vote and click the link. You get about $6,000 for voting (sometimes much more based on a lottery system), it only takes a minute or two, and you can do it every day.

Play Minigames - All the minigames have some kind of payout. It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, so play a few games and see what you earn.

Go Mining - Chopping wood, collecting dirt, mining for ores and gems. Everything you collect in the Wild can be sold using /sell.

Jobs - Watch global chat for players hiring other players to performn tasks like clearing plots.

Return to TOC

  1. Creative

Meepcraft has a creative mode server at /creative that uses /plotme to provision creative Minecraft canvases. Do /plotme auto to get one of your own and start building. Use /plotme home to return to it later on. Use just /plotme for help on all the available commands.

  1. Joining a Town

Joining vs. Buying - When you've decided to stick around a while, you'll want to join a town and claim a plot to stash your stuff in. Towny is a module in Meepcraft that allows you buy a town for 300,000 Meebles and sell 16x16 plots to residents who pay taxes to the town's account. Rather than buying a whole town, start by joining an existing town.

Two Towny Worlds - Meepcraft has two separate Towny worlds: Alpha and Beta. You can get to them respectively with /warp alpha and /warp beta. Towny commands only work one of these worlds, and the two worlds are not connected as far as Towny is concerned. The commands in this section will only work in either Alpha or Beta worlds.

One Town at a Time - You can only be a resident of one town at a time, but since there are two Towny worlds, you can be a resident of one town in each if you want.

Find a Town - You can see a list of open towns (meaning anyone can join the town) by doing /town list. Visit a town by doing /t spawn TownName where TownName is the name of the town you want to visit. Look at the rules, check the taxes (more on taxes below), see if there are any plots available and decide if you want to join. To join an open town, do /t join TownName.

Get Invited - If you want to join a town that isn't open, you'll need the Mayor or an Assistant invite you by doing /t add YourUseName. Then you need to do /accept.

Documentation - Towny is a complicated module, so this is just a very high level overview. See the Towny wiki for the full list of commands and their use.

Towny Wilds - The area outside the boundaries of a town is confusingly called the wilds, but Towny wilds do not allow you to gather any resources. Use the Wild</a for that.

Get to your Town - Once you're a member of a town, doing /t spawn in the correct Towny world will bring you to your town's spawn.

Leaving & Moving - You can leave a town by doing /t leave. Just BE WARNED that when you leave a town you lose your plot(s) and access to them. If you want to move towns, ask for a temporary Embassy plot. This lets you have a plot in another town without being a member. Once you've moved your stuff, you can leave the old town and join the new one.

  1. Claiming a Plot

Once you've joined a town, you can claim a plot.

Claim - Towns are divided into 16x16 sections called plots. As you walk through a town, watch the chat feed. If a plot is for sale, it will indicate the price when you step into it. Find a plot that's for sale, stand on it and do /plot claim. Once you've claimed the plot, you can start building.

Set Home - It's a good idea to do /sethome on your new plot so you can get back to it easily using /home.

Permissions - Most towns have the default permissions so that only you (and the town Mayor and Assistants) can open your doors and chests. You can use /plot set perm (details) to modify these permissions.

Selling - If you want to sell your plot, use /plot fs 100 where 100 is the price you wish to set. You'll get the money if someone buys it, but you'll also pay the taxes on the plot until it does. You can also do /plot unclaim to release the plot back to the town.

  1. Town Taxes & Ranks

Taxes - Each town has its own bank account, and the server charges that account $100 per day, per plot in the town. To offset this cost and to pay for infrastructure, Mayors can collect taxes from their residents. Taxes are collected every 24 hours. Mayors can set taxes on residency, so you have to pay even if you don't claim a plot in town. They can also set taxes per plot. Taxes can be fixed dollar amounts or a percentage of each resident's balance. Be wary of towns that charge percentage tax as the daily amount can become quite substantial as your balance increases.

Ranks - Ranks are jobs or titles Mayors can hand out to residents. Ranked residents do not pay taxes. Ranks include Co-Mayor, Assistant and Recruiter. Assistants are just like the Mayor but can't do a handful of important commands like deleting the town. Recruiters can add residents to the town, but not much else. Mayors can assign a rank with /town rank add PlayerName RankName.

  1. Owning (and Moving) a Town

If you have at least 300,000 Meebles and want to start your own town, here's how.

  1. Find a good spot by going to the random location teleport in the towny world spawn.
  2. Do /town new My Town Name to create a town called My Town Name. This gives you a town consisting of a single plot.
  3. Do /town deposit 10000 to deposit 10,000 Meebles into the town account. This is needed to claim additional plots (1,000 Meebles each) and to pay the daily upkeep (100 Meebles per plot). If it runs out, your town fails and you lose everything in it.
  4. Claim adjacent plots with /town claim when standing on it. You can reverse this for a plot with /town unclaim.
  5. Use /t to see important town stats, like your daily upkeep bill.

You can save at least 100,000 Meebles if you're patient and find another player selling a town that hasn't really taken off. If you can find a town for sale that doesn't have residents, you can move the town location as follows.

  1. Unclaim all the plots except for the home block.
  2. Do /sethome on the home block so you don't lose track of it.
  3. Find another place to base your town, and do /t claim outpost.
  4. Set the new outpost as your home block with /t set homeblock.
  5. Set your town's spawn point on the new homeblock with /t set spawn.
  6. Go back to the old home block and do /t unclaim.
