Bedrock works on phones, tablets, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and Windows. Consoles need one extra step: see how to join.

Spawn seen from above: gardens, paths and cherry trees around a central plaza
Spawn from above. You start here, and /spawn brings you back any time.

Do the Start Here guide NEW

Type /guide (it also starts by itself on your first join). It has 8 short steps. Each one finishes itself when you do it and pays 1,000 Emeralds Cash:

  1. Read the rules: /rules
  2. Open the menu: /menu
  3. Go to the Farmworld: /farmworld
  4. Set a home back in the main world: /sethome base (not in the Farmworld)
  5. Protect your build: /apply, or claim land if you're already a Member
  6. Check your cash: /bal
  7. Level up: open /contracts
  8. Free rewards: /daily or /vote
The Start Here checklist at spawn with 3 of 8 steps ticked off, paying 1,000 cash a step
Type /guide to see your checklist. Each step ticks itself off and pays 1,000 cash.

Finish at least 6 steps for a 5,000 cash bonus and a free Emerald crate key. /guide skip skips a step, /guide quit pauses it, and typing /guide later carries on where you left off. /guide restart starts over. To read one step again, type its name, like /guide claims or /guide economy.

Right-click the Server Menu compass in your hotbar, or type /menu. Everything is in it: travel, money, progress, rewards, casino and help. On Bedrock it opens as a simple tap menu. Help, rules and "Ask Staff for Help" are under Help & Rules.

The Server Menu open with a Rewards tooltip, and the compass selected in the hotbar: right-click it or type /menu
The menu holds travel, money, progress, rewards, casino and help.

Find a spot and set a home

/wildTeleport to a random spot in the survival world.
/sethome <name>Save the spot you're standing on.
/home <name>Go back to a saved home. /homes lists them.
/spawnGo to spawn.
/backReturn to where you died.
/tpa <player>Ask to teleport to a friend.
Inside a torch-lit room with a bed: typing /sethome base, then the chat says Home base set
Stand in your base and type /sethome base. From anywhere, /home base brings you back.

Get resources in the Farmworld

Type /farmworld (or /fw). Mine, chop and gather there, not in the main world. Don't build or set a home there. The Farmworld resets every month, and /sethome there only warns you instead of saving. /survival or /spawn takes you back.
