Spawn District Claims

For claims or builds made in Spawn District defined on live map.

⁠

🚩 How to Find and Claim a Spot

There are a few ways find a potential open spot in spawn.

Find an area with a “Plot Available” sign. You can claim building there without opening a Build Request ticket if the sign specifically allows. Otherwise, if you need to reserve a spot before building, please open a Build Request ticket.

An open space without signs or any build may be available. Open a Build Request ticket to see if the spot you want is available to claim before building there.

Claiming a build or plot claim that is believed to be abandoned. You can open a Build Request ticket to see if you can reclaim that spot, but these claims may take a while to process.

⛔ Restrictions

Cannot build for personal use (such as a base, home, storage, etc.) as of 1.21 update.

Cannot make standalone floating builds.

Farms, breeders, and villager trading halls are prohibited.

The Minigame and Carnival area located SW of Spawn are restricted to mini-games or carnival type builds.

🏪 Regarding Shops

You are allowed to build any kind of shop as we encourage friendly competition this season. However, we ask that you do not play in a manner that will ruin everyone else’s game play experience. Staff may intervene when an open market becomes unfriendly.

To advertise your shop after opening, it is highly recommended that you create a post in

#shop-listings⁠

channel.

🏡 Building Standards

Use your best judgement when building and designing in Spawn District.

If your build conflicts with the surrounding area, you may be asked to modify it.

If your building or plot has a large gap underneath, it should be covered to look neat and natural.

Your builds should adapt to existing terrain when possible to avoid significant terraforming.

Only claim the amount of land needed, and leave some space between other builds and the roads.

🏚️ Abandoned Builds/Claims

Unused Plot Claims

Once you claim a plot in spawn, we ask that you start building as soon as possible. After 2 weeks, if another player is interested in your plot that remains unused, your claim may be forfeited.

Builds in Spawn may be subject to abandonment if one of the conditions are met below.

Incomplete builds that have not made any progress for a long time.

Shops that are mostly not stocked or or not maintained for a long time by the owner or another player.

Builds (other than shops or community builds) that have been underutilized or deemed no longer in use.

When leaving Discord without notifying staff of returning (applies to all builds in this server).

If your builds are subject to abandonment, an admin will contact you regarding that build or claim for a resolution before taking any action.

However builds without any activity for a very long time including not logging in (for typically more than 4 months) can be considered abandoned even without contact.

Once build(s) are considered abandoned, it will be either be reclaimed by another player or be cleared out for other players to claim.

What if I need a take a long break but don’t want my build(s) to be abandoned?

Please notify an admin or open an admin ticket for assistance. If you plan to leave our Discord and come back later, it is important that you notify us before leaving.

Land and Structure Claims

For claims or builds made outside of Spawn District

⁠

📋 Basic Info

Most land claims of outside Spawn District can be made without opening a ticket as long as it is available and there are no other builds in sight or nearby. See exceptions and restrictions below.

If you have any questions about a land claim, you can ask in the

#land-claims-query⁠

channel on Discord.

🚩 How to Claim

Find an open spot (

see how below⁠

Once you find a good spot, start building or marking your boundaries with signs, blocks, or other objects in the surrounding area to officially claim land on the server. You cannot claim land by posting on Discord.

If you plan to claim a large amount of land, give plenty of space from other possible claims or bases nearby, and start small then expand when needed.

🎫 Claims that require opening a admin support ticket for permission

Claiming more than one Witch Huts or more than one medium/large Mooshroom Islands.

Digging a significant amount of land such as perimeters.

Reclaiming an area that someone has already built or previously claimed.

⛔ Restrictions

No claims within 272 blocks of -2030, -715 due to close proximity of the mob switch activating.

If building in Halloween Town or Winter Wonderland, your build must fit well with the theme.

🗺️ Finding an Open Spot

Look around to see if there are any builds or markings around where you want to claim. If there is not one in sight, there is very good chance that it is an open spot.

One useful tool to find an open space is to utilize Pl3xMap’s Inhabited map feature (shown below) which shows player traffic hotspots (in red, orange, yellow, or green) indicating that there is likely a base or a build there. An area that is completely faded blue is likely an open spot for you to claim.

If you are not sure of an area you want to claim is available, feel free to ask in

#land-claims-query⁠

channel on Discord.

⁠

⁠

🏚️ Abandoned Bases/Claims

In certain cases where other players are interested in that area or if it is relatively close to spawn district, builds or claims meeting one of the conditions below may subject to abandonment:

Claims that are left unused or empty after 3 weeks.

Unfinished builds or very “low effort” builds left unused for a long time.

If a certain limited generated structure that is no longer available is left unused for a long time.

When leaving Discord without notifying staff of returning (applies to all builds in this server).

Lag Management

Be considerate of other players not to cause lag during busy times. In accordance to

Server Rule⁠

4️⃣, staff reserves the right to take any actions including killing entities, stopping machines, or disconnecting them from the server if a player is believed to be causing negative game play experience for others.

Please follow these tips below will help keep the server running as efficiently as possible.

📚 Villager Trading Halls

If you want to build your own villager trading hall, please build in an area that will not be constantly loaded, preferably away from your base of at least 225 blocks.

Keeping villagers in a 1x1 enclosed space significantly cuts down on lag impact from villagers through Lithium and villager lobotomization via ServerCore.

Please do not leave villager breeders running unless you are actively utilizing them. Staff reserves the right to remove excess villagers if deemed necessary to reduce lag.

🏭 Farms, Dupers, and Redstone Machines

Leaving any duper(s) running unattended or while AFK is prohibited.

Be mindful of your farm and duper collection systems as an overflow of entities can cause massive amounts of lag. Having a proper and working disposal system for excess items will prevent such lag.

Avoid cramming entities in a small area that result in collisions (common in chickens, cows, and sheeps) which can cause lag spikes.

If possible, any machine or farm should use efficient designs to reduce unnecessary lag.

Active Player Requirement

In order to remain whitelisted in our Minecraft server and access whitelisted Discord channels, we require players to either be active or become a seasoned player.

✅ What qualifies as an active player?

Simply play in our server, or participate in community projects or events.

You can satisfy this requirement when actively playing once a month, or by accumulating a long enough active playtime (the longer you play, the longer you are considered active).

Logging in and out after a short period of time does not count towards being recently active.

🏁 What is a “seasoned” player and how to gain it?

Players who played long enough or established in the community can remain whitelisted for the rest of the season. The most common way is to accumulate at least 100 hours of active playtime (not including AFK).

Once you reach the pro player status, you will get a more vibrant green “S3 Seasoned” role on Discord to be recognized for the season.

Keep in mind that your build(s) in Spawn District can still be subject to abandonment if you are away for a very long time or are no longer active.

🙋 Buddy Exception - If you have a friend who active or is a seasoned player

As long as one of your friend(s) that you personally know is currently active or is a seasoned player, you can remain whitelisted with them as long as the qualified player does not leave our Discord server.

If you were invited by a friend, it is important to note this in your whitelist application we can apply this exception.

If in an unusual case that this exception is no longer met, you or any other friend of yours must either remain active or become a pro/established player to remain whitelisted.
