MCAU Wiki

MCAU is a family friendly survival server. Primarily based around building, there is also an event lobby with mini-games, and for donors, access to a creative lobby.

For in-game help, feel free to ask questions in chat, or use /help to see a small guide.

PvP is disabled by default, however there are many PvP based mini-games in /event, as well as an arena in the nether specifically for it.

Our main website is https://mcau.org. As the main portal, you can find your way to pretty much everything we have to offer here, but here is a list of some of the main pages:

While the main website has a large list of commands, these are some of the more commonly used ones:

Useful Commands

If you are griefed, find a bug, or otherwise have an issue that needs staff attention, use /modreq <details>. Please provide as much information as you can to make it easiest to assist you. “I've been griefed pls halp” is nowhere near as useful as “I've had my farms raided by BadPLayer225”. Also make sure when using the command that you are at the location required of the request, as staff can teleport to the request to assist.

Note that this is a survival server, we do not replace items lost due to death.

There is a public chicken farm located at /docks, allowing you to pick up eggs and start your own farm. Farm crops as soon as you can, as animals can become rare in many areas. The donation chest, or /dchest, may also have some from other players. There is also many player shops that sell some, using /shop to teleport to them.

We do have an economy on MCAU! You can start making money by selling cobble and other items at /warp shop, or selling items at other player's shops. Once you attain rank [1], you can also set up your own shop to start selling items. Check out /shop help for a list of commands to assist.

You can check your balance using /bal, and pay other players using /pay <player> <$>.

If you're stuck on finding a place to build, use /warprandom to try your luck at being sent to a new area, or use the Overviewer to find a place. We ask that unless a player gives you permission to build close, please keep a moderate distance between builds, as some people like to expand or keep to themselves. When creating a region, you are limited to a 200'000 block cuboid area.

For some up your building needs, check out /warp treefarm for a small supply of trees or saplings to start your own farm (remember to /fixtree!), /warp sandpit for a large pile of sand to dig out freely (/fixsand!), and /warp shop for buying and selling basic building needs.

Players can achieve ranks by building nice structures. Check out /standard for what is required to achieve a [1]. A [2] or a [3] are a lot larger and more complex, and need to be very impressive to attain. A list of players who attained a [2] or [3] last map is available at /warp showcase, if you ask nicely they might show you their build on the /event server.

You can access the Nether or the End at Spawn, using /warp portal/nether/end. Players are unable to build their own portal to the nether, the one at Spawn is the only access.

There is a public enchanting space at /warp enchanting. Here, you'll find an enchanting table, as well as a couple of anvils. We also have xp storage, located at /warp honeybadger. Use /xpbank there to open the help menu for more commands.

Simply put, if it's more complex than a dark room where mobs can spawn, it is probably illegal. There is to be no farms set up using redstone, water, gravity, or other means that take mobs outside of natural spawning areas, or moves them onto a single spot.

As for farms, we have an xp mod call MCMMO. Therefore (and not limited to), any AFK fish farms, 1×1 chicken farms, auto-crop growers, or any complex redstone clock devices are illegal.

Donations of $5 a month support the costs of server upkeep (all staff are volunteer players). As a thank you and appreciation for your support, we give a few perks to our donors, including extra regions, god mode, compass teleporting, and a bunch of other fun commands. It also gives you access to the Creative lobby based in /event. For more information, check out our Donations page.
