| ===== Welcome to MCAU! ===== | |
| |
| 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. | |

| |
| ++++Useful Commands | | |

| ++++ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Mod requests ==== | |
| 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.** | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Food ==== | |
| 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. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Money ==== | |
| 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> <$>''. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Where can I build? ==== | |
| 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 [[https://maps.mcau.org|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. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Promotions ==== | |
| 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. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Portals ==== | |
| 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. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Enchanting ==== | |
| 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. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Mob Grinders and Farms ==== | |
| 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, 1x1 chicken farms, auto-crop growers, or any complex redstone clock devices are illegal. | |
| \\ | |
| \\ | |
| ==== Donating ==== | |
| 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 [[https://mcau.org/donation''|Donations page]]. | |
| |
| However, please be warned: **Donating does not stop you from being banned.** If you’re already banned, we’ll happily say thank you for the donation, but you won’t be unbanned. If you break a rule while you’re a donor, you’ll be banned. You will not get a refund, or have your ban length shortened. Please keep in mind that you are not buying anything – you are just donating. | |
