EFMC WIKI

Your first day on Earth

A practical route from your first login to a protected home on the 1:500 Earth map.

1. Join play.earthforgemc.com in Java Edition. Read /rules and /motd before leaving the arrival area. Bedrock connection details are explained in the crossplay guide.
2. Claim your one-time /kit starter. Choose up to two of the six available jobs with /jobs browse, then /jobs join Miner (or another available job).
3. Use the world map to scout a continent, then /rtp to begin exploring. A random teleport does not target a real-world country and does not claim land.
4. Set /sethome home at a safe location. Ordinary players have one home; writing down coordinates is still useful because /back and death-return are disabled.
5. Check /town list and ask in /g to join a community. Use /town join <town> for an open town, or accept an invitation from a mayor. Your personal home does not protect blocks.
6. Earn money from job activities and /shop sales. A town costs 1,500 to create, each normal chunk claim costs 50, and upkeep needs a funded town bank. Read Towny before founding a settlement.

Command notation: <value> means a required value; [value] means optional. Replace the brackets and their contents when typing. Towny aliases: /t = /town, /n = /nation, /res = /resident. Commands act in your current world and often on the chunk you stand in.

EssentialsX · homes, travel & messages

Your everyday survival commands. EssentialsXSpawn supplies spawn functionality, but the supplied ordinary-player permissions do not grant /spawn.

1. Set your single home before travelling. /sethome with the same name updates its location. Use /delhome <name> before replacing a differently named home if the limit is reached.
2. Use /tpa to visit someone or /tpahere to invite them to you. Read the requester’s name before accepting. Travel has a configured 3-second warmup and 30-second cooldown; move only after teleporting.
3. Use /msg for online conversations and /mail send for offline messages. Staff help is available through /helpop; persistent issues belong in a support ticket.

Ordinary players cannot use /back, death-back, other players’ homes, /nick, chat colors or Essentials /tpr. Use JustRTP’s /rtp instead. No /spawn permission is present in the supplied default export.

The starter kit contains a stone sword, pickaxe, axe and shovel, plus 16 bread and 16 torches. It is a one-time claim, not a repeating income source.

Money & banking

EssentialsX holds your balance; Vault connects that money to jobs, shops, auctions and Towny.

1. New player starting balance is 100 in the supplied config. Use job earnings and trade to fund your first town rather than assuming a website balance is live.
2. Keep personal money separate from town and nation banks. A mayor’s personal balance does not automatically pay upkeep. Deposit reserves before logging off.
3. Check recipient names and amounts before paying. Direct payments are transfers, not escrow or protected trades.

Essentials /sell and /worth are explicitly disabled for ordinary players. Use EconomyShopGUI’s /shop, /sellgui or /sellall. Bank withdrawals require the appropriate town or nation role.

Towny · residents & protected plots

Towns protect groups of 16×16 blocks (one normal Minecraft chunk). A resident owns a plot inside town claims; a mayor manages the town.

1. Inspect a town before joining: check taxes, nation membership, peaceful status, location and local rules. Open towns allow /town join; closed towns require an invitation.
2. After joining, ask the mayor which plots are for sale. Stand inside a listed plot and use /plot claim. The displayed price is paid for that plot; town membership alone does not make every plot yours.
3. Use /plot perm before building. Ownership, friends, resident groups and town settings control build, destroy, switch and item use. Doors and chests may behave differently; do not assume a shop container is public.
4. Use /resident friend add only for people you trust. Plot trust and friend permissions can allow changes to your property. Review access after changing town membership.
5. Keep enough personal balance for resident and plot taxes. Leaving a town or unclaiming a plot can affect your land and protection; read the confirmation before proceeding.

A personal home, a sign, a fence or a map marker does not claim territory. Wilderness and protected regions have their own rules. Never use a protection error as a reason to bypass restrictions.

Towny · founding & running a town

Mayor, assistant and sheriff are gameplay roles, independent of server staff. Their powers come from townyperms.yml.

1. Scout unclaimed land with the map and /towny map. Stand on the intended home chunk and run /town new <name>. Base creation price: 1,500. Check /towny prices for the running server’s totals.
2. Deposit a reserve with /town deposit. Normal claims cost 50 each; base town upkeep is 20 per day and can change with configuration, town size and modifiers. Check the town screen instead of multiplying a guessed total.
3. Expand contiguous land with /town claim. Assign housing using /plot forsale, protect public works and set a sensible spawn. Homeblock movement has a configured 24-hour cooldown.
4. Invite residents, explain taxes and nominate assistants carefully. Assistants have claim and plot powers, not every mayor command. Town rank helper is distinct from the server’s Helper staff group.
5. Review /town, /towny time and /towny prices regularly. Bank shortfalls can lead to bankruptcy or ruins according to the active Towny rules. Disbanding, merging and transferring the mayor role deserve deliberate review.

The supplied mayor role grants town and plot command families. This table covers the practical workflows; use /town ?, /plot ? and the linked full command reference for advanced group/district options and exact version-specific syntax. Assistants cannot assume authority to withdraw, kick or disband.

Towny · nations & diplomacy

Nations unite towns for diplomacy, shared identity and SiegeWar. Nation leader and soldier roles remain non-staff gameplay roles.

1. A mayor can create a nation for a base price of 15,000. Plan for the configured base nation upkeep of 100 per day plus other active costs. Fund the nation bank, not just your personal account.
2. Mayors decide whether their town joins or leaves a nation. Nation leaders manage invitations, allies, enemies and ranks. Alliance membership affects travel, chat and war participation; explain your policy to towns first.
3. Assign the configured soldier rank to eligible combatants before battle. The supplied ranks are soldier, assistant and helper; do not assume an upstream rank such as general exists here.

Nation leadership does not grant server moderation powers. Occupation and active sieges can limit leaving, travel and diplomacy.

TownyMenus · click through Towny

A graphical way to inspect towns and perform the Towny actions your account is permitted to use.

1. Run /townymenu and select the relevant town, resident or nation screen. Read item descriptions before clicking: some buttons spend money or change settings.
2. A menu does not bypass role permissions or claim requirements. If an option is missing or denied, check your town role and the Towny guide.

TownyChat · public & group channels

Talk across the server or privately within your settlement. A channel command without text changes your active channel.

1. Use /g to return to general chat after a town or nation conversation. To send one message without switching, append the message to the channel command.
2. Local chat reaches 128 blocks in the same world. Town, nation and alliance chat require the corresponding membership. General chat has a 2-second anti-spam interval; town/nation/alliance have 1 second.

SiegeWar can temporarily restrict chat during battles. Staff channels are not player channels; /tc is TownyChat, while /tcm belongs to TownyCombat.

Jobs Reborn · earn from survival

Join up to two jobs: Miner, Woodcutter, Digger, Farmer, Fisherman and Hunter.

1. Use /jobs browse, then /jobs info <job> to inspect paid actions before choosing. Job descriptions and in-game rates are authoritative; not every block or mob pays.
2. Join a job before doing its work. Mine natural blocks, harvest eligible crops, fish or hunt according to the job. Anti-exploit checks mean repeatedly placing/breaking blocks or artificial loops may not earn money.
3. Check /jobs stats and /balance. Payments can be batched rather than appearing instantly. Read the leave warning: changing jobs can affect retained levels.

Builder, Crafter, Enchanter, Brewer, Weaponsmith and Explorer are explicitly denied in the ordinary-player export. Seeing them in upstream documentation does not make them available here.

The old-job configuration applies a 30% level loss on return, with max-level preservation enabled. Read the current leave prompt before switching.

EconomyShopGUI · the server shop

Buy essentials or sell accepted survival resources through a menu. This is separate from player-owned chest shops and AuctionHouse.

1. Run /shop and browse categories. Inspect the buy price, sell price, amount and item details; some items are buy-only, sell-only or unavailable.
2. Use /sellgui for deliberate inventory sales: move only intended items into it and follow the menu’s completion instructions. Keep valuables outside the sell inventory.
3. Bulk commands can sell many matching items immediately. Check prices in /shop first, and keep named, enchanted or special items safe.

Prices are configured per item and may change. Use the in-game menu for current values. Essentials /sell is disabled, so use these shop commands.

AuctionHouse · global buy-now market

List held items for other players to buy, or shop globally without travelling to a chest shop.

1. Hold the item to list. Run /ah sell <price> <amount> and inspect the listing before completing it. The price is for the listing, so consider stack size and item data.
2. Configured limits: up to 10 listings, buy-now prices from 1 to 100,000 and 3-day listing duration. Sales tax is 5%. Bidding auctions are disabled.
3. Open /ah to browse, search and inspect the full item before buying. Partial buying is disabled. Use the menu’s own-listing, sold and expired controls to manage returns and proceeds.
4. Auto-collection is off: revisit the menu to collect proceeds from sold listings and reclaim expired items. Keep inventory space for returns. A 1,000 sale has a 50 sales tax, leaving 950 before any other applicable costs.

This is ElaineQheart AuctionHouse 1.5.6. Other AuctionHouse plugins document different subcommands. Use the GUI for sold/expired/cancel/return workflows; permissions named selling or sold are not proof those are commands.

QuickShop-Hikari · chest shops

Build a physical market in your town. A selling shop sells your stocked items; a buying shop spends your money to buy items from visitors.

1. Place a chest on land where you can build and trade. Hold the product, punch the chest, and follow the chat prompt to set a price; /qs create is also available. Add stock to a selling shop.
2. For a buying shop, switch it with /qs buy. Keep enough money and empty chest space to accept goods. Set an amount per trade deliberately: the displayed price applies to that trade quantity.
3. Customers punch the shop sign/chest and enter the quantity requested in chat. Read whether you are buying or selling from the customer’s perspective, then verify the receipt.
4. Aim at your shop when managing it. Use a shop plot if your town requires one. Only add shop staff you trust; shop staff is a shop-management role, not server staff.

Shop browsing teleport and tagged-shop teleport are explicitly disabled. Travel to the market normally. Other players’ shop editing and unlimited/admin shops are not ordinary-player features.

JustRTP · find new land

Use /rtp to find a safe random location in world, the configured default world. It is not a country selector.

1. Stand still through the 3-second warmup. Movement and combat cancel the teleport. Normal RTP has a 30-second cooldown and economy charging is disabled.
2. Check /towny map after landing and respect all claims. A safe landing is not a permanent guarantee of safety or ownership. Oceans and unavailable terrain can make searches fail; wait and retry.
3. For a group trip, open /rtp party, invite friends, have them accept and let the leader teleport the party. The party’s own configured cooldown is 30 seconds and cost is zero.

/rtp back is disabled by configuration, even though the plugin’s default permission allows the command. Air RTP, jump RTP and first-join RTP are also disabled. Other-world, custom-radius and other-player forced teleport permissions are not granted by default. Custom locations require an additional per-location grant.

BlueMap & BlueMap-Towny · navigate Earth

The live browser map helps you scout terrain and town borders before committing to a journey.

1. Open the home page’s map section or the full-screen map. Pan and zoom, select the rendered world, and use available marker layers to inspect towns and nations.
2. BlueMap-Towny adds claim information to BlueMap. Markers and terrain depend on the map’s last render/update; confirm land ownership with /town here and /towny map before building.
3. The web map is not a teleport command or a land purchase tool. Bring food, record coordinates and set a home before long trips.

The map service must be online and permit framing for the embedded view. A blank embed does not establish Minecraft server status. Use the full-screen link if your browser or the map host blocks embedding. BlueMap render/reload administration is not required for players.

TownyResources · survey & trade

Discover a town’s resource production, then use those resources to support local builders and trade between settlements.

1. Mayors and town assistants can survey. Required townblocks for resource levels 1–4 are 16, 32, 64 and 128; survey fees are 500, 1,500, 4,000 and 10,000 respectively. Fund the town first.
2. Stand in your town and use /town resources survey. Inspect the offer and confirmation in-game. Production also requires town levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the corresponding resource levels.
3. Inspect production and stored goods on the town screen. Authorized town/nation leaders collect the stock and can distribute or sell it through chest shops and auctions. Resource collection and bank withdrawal are different actions.
4. Storage is capped at a configured modifier of 5. Collect before storage fills. Nation resource tax is 20%; occupying-nation resource tax is 25%, subject to the active occupation rules.

Resource extraction limits are disabled: this plugin does not currently impose its daily mining/fishing quotas. Survey-site plots are disabled. Resource rerolling is disabled by the -1 cost setting, despite the mayor permission being present. Biomes and plugin offers influence resources; a real-world country does not guarantee a particular ore.

Collection checks the separate townyresources.command.towncollect or nationcollect permission. Those nodes are not explicitly granted in the supplied player or town-role files. If collection is denied, ask staff to verify access; survey permission alone does not authorize collection.

TownyCultures · settlement identity

Give your town a cultural identity for roleplay and diplomacy on Earth.

1. A mayor or town assistant can select a culture with /town set culture. Agree on a respectful name with your residents first.
2. The maximum culture name length is 20 characters. Preset geographic cultures are disabled, so the supplied example coordinate regions do not automatically assign your identity.
3. Inspect the town screen to confirm the result. Culture is a social identity, not an independent land claim or a promise of combat bonuses.

SiegeWar · soldiers, sieges & peace

Sieges are organized nation-versus-town conflicts around a siege banner. Being a resident does not automatically qualify you to earn battle points.

1. Ask a mayor or nation leader to assign the configured soldier rank if you plan to fight. Nation leaders have offensive siege powers; mayors have defensive powers. These permissions do not make someone server staff.
2. Read /town and /nation status and use /sw nextsession. The supplied scheduler lists Saturday and Sunday at 03:00, 11:00 and 19:00, plus Monday 03:00, in the Minecraft server’s timezone; that timezone was not supplied. Sessions last 60 minutes. Use the countdown instead of assuming your local time.
3. An authorized attacker starts an eligible conquest siege by placing a non-white banner near the target town border. Requirements include the permitted start period, distance, immunity and war chest. Read the cost prompt and current siege rules first.
4. During an active battle, eligible participants control the banner area to gain points. Follow HUD messages: timers, scoring, height limits and contested control matter. Town protection may be overridden in siege zones during battle; do not assume your plot’s normal PvP setting protects you.
5. A successful attacker may plunder or invade through the required post-siege banner/chest actions. Town leaders can surrender and attacking leaders can abandon through eligible white-banner actions. These are geopolitical decisions; consult the full player guide before acting.
6. Mayors can request peaceful status, but it has a confirmation delay and restrictions. New towns are not peaceful by default. Peaceful towns can be subverted under the configured guardian-town rules; peaceful does not guarantee political independence.

New-town and post-siege immunity are configured at 168 hours. Peaceful change confirmation for a new town is 2 Towny days. General chat restrictions are enabled during battle and for 10 minutes afterward. Actual eligibility, immunity and prompts govern each action. No /swa staff administration is needed to play.

TownyCombat · what applies here

The installed combat addon can alter PvP, but most optional combat systems are switched off in this configuration.

1. Fight under the active Towny and SiegeWar rules. Do not expect inventory or experience retention on death: both TownyCombat keep options are disabled.
2. Cavalry enhancements, tactical map invisibility, special spears and the master “unlock PvP combat for regular players” feature are disabled. Nested battlefield-role and potion settings do not mean those systems are active while their parent feature is off.
3. Block-glitch prevention is enabled. If a forbidden place/break action moves you back, respect the protection and report an apparent error instead of repeatedly trying to bypass it.

Do not assume Dynmap invisibility applies to BlueMap. Disabled-feature commands and admin commands are intentionally not presented as working survival tools.

ccTickets · get support

Create a persistent support request for grief, bugs or gameplay problems. The supplied limit is three open tickets per player.

1. Stand near the relevant incident when possible, then create a ticket with a concise description. Include the world, coordinates, approximate time and what you expected to happen.
2. Use /ticket list to find the ID, then /ticket info <ID> to read updates. Keep passwords, tokens and personal information out of tickets.
3. Ticket assignment, staff teleporting, replies, closure, deletion and purging are staff workflows in the supplied language/help layout. Ordinary players should use the create/list/info commands and follow staff instructions.

Example: /ticket create My shop chest is inaccessible at world 120 64 -300 since around 8pm. No response time is guaranteed.

hPlaytime · track your time

Track active playtime and view the available leaderboards. Your own playtime is enabled by the plugin’s default permission.

1. Run /playtime (or /pt) to see your tracked time. Tracking excludes the configured afk world and treats 300 seconds of inactivity as AFK.
2. Daily and monthly records use America/New_York. Do not confuse active time with time since first joining, or assume that AFK farming earns time.

Looking up another player’s detailed playtime requires hplaytime.others, which defaults to operator and is not granted in the supplied player export. Event creation, resets and reloads are staff-only.

DiscordSRV · community & account linking

DiscordSRV can bridge public chat and link your Minecraft identity to Discord when the server connection is configured.

1. Use /discord for the server’s configured invite. The website archive contains no Discord invite, so this guide does not invent one.
2. To link accounts, use /discord link and follow the private code instructions with the server’s actual bot. Never post your linking code publicly or send it to an unrelated bot.
3. If the invite or bot is unavailable, use an in-game ticket. A loaded plugin and default player permissions do not prove that the Discord integration is online.

Account unlinking is not granted by default in this installed descriptor; ask staff if you need to change a link. Player chat can be relayed according to the configured channels.

ExcellentCrates · keys & rewards

Use configured crate blocks and matching keys to claim rewards. This server has ExcellentCrates 7.2.0, whose commands differ from older guides.

1. Find the actual crate area and inspect the block’s interaction hints and reward preview before opening. Keep inventory space and check which physical or virtual key it consumes.
2. The configured key aliases are /cratekey, /cratekeys, /ckey, /casekey and /casekeys. The engine alias is /ecrates. Use the help visible to your account; the supplied LuckPerms default group contains no explicit crate grants.
3. Crate interaction cooldown is 3 seconds. Rewards, odds, key requirements and opening costs come from each deployed crate; no guaranteed prize or key source is implied here.

Crates are a conditional player interaction, not confirmed default command access. Voting configuration mentions a vote key, but voting is not currently ready for ordinary players. Do not use key-give or crate editor commands; those are administration.

VotingPlugin & VotifierPlus · availability

Voting is installed but not ready for ordinary players in the supplied configuration.

1. VoteSites is empty, GiveDefaultPermission is false, and the ordinary-player export contains no VotingPlugin grants. There are no verified voting links to publish.
2. The configured every-site reward intends to give one vote key. That configuration is an intended reward, not evidence that a vote site is connected or that rewards can currently be earned.
3. If staff enable voting later, use the in-game /votehelp and configured links. Enter your exact Minecraft identity; Bedrock naming may differ. Report a missing reward with the site name and time.

Commands to check only after access is enabled: /vote, /votehelp (/vhelp), /voteurl (/vurl), /votegui (/vgui), /votetotal (/vtotal), /votelast (/vlast), /votenext (/vnext), /votetop (/vtop), /votetoday (/vtoday), /voteparty (/vparty), /voteshop (/vshop), /votebest (/vbest), /votestreak (/vstreak), /votetogglebroadcast (/vtogglebroadcast), /votepoints (/vpoints), /votelist (/vlist), /voteall (/vall). Features and rewards remain configuration-dependent. VotifierPlus receives vote notifications and has no ordinary-player action.

Geyser, Floodgate & version compatibility

Geyser and Floodgate provide Bedrock compatibility, while ViaVersion and ViaBackwards handle supported client protocol differences.

1. Java players use play.earthforgemc.com. Use a version the running server supports; compatibility plugins do not promise that every historic or future client works.
2. Bedrock players should request the currently published connection method from staff. The supplied Geyser config uses NetherNet transport; a configured port value of 19132 alone does not verify a reachable standard UDP Bedrock endpoint.
3. Use the exact in-game name displayed by the server for invites, payments and support. Floodgate identities may be different from a Java username. Treat menus carefully on touch/controller input and report an action that does not work.

No client mod is required merely to use these server plugins. Floodgate handles Bedrock authentication; never give staff your Microsoft password. Version support and actual external connectivity must be checked against the running service.

Other plugins you encounter

Some plugins affect your experience without giving ordinary players a command suite.

1. TAB supplies player-list/name displays. MiniMOTD supplies the multiplayer server-list message. AutoBroadcaster posts notices. Read the current message rather than treating a screenshot as permanent policy.
2. FancyNpcs and FancyHolograms can supply clickable characters and floating instructions. Follow the actual displayed interaction; these plugins do not imply that a particular NPC, quest or reward exists.
3. WorldGuard protects staff-defined regions such as spawn. ChunkyBorder enforces a travel boundary. When an action or journey is blocked, check the location and ask for help; ordinary players cannot bypass region or border controls.
4. GrimAC checks movement and combat. Use legitimate clients. If you believe a detection is wrong, stop reproducing the action and provide staff with time, location and what happened.
5. CoreProtect and InventoryRollbackPlus support staff investigation and recovery. Report the incident through ccTickets; a log or backup does not guarantee that an item or build will be restored.

Infrastructure and staff tools are not player command guides: Chunky, FastAsyncWorldEdit, LuckPerms, DriveBackupV2, FancyAnalytics, spark, bStats, faststats, CMILib, nightcore, Vault, PlaceholderAPI and ProtocolLib. They generate terrain, manage permissions/backups/analytics or support other plugins. No access to their administration is granted by the supplied ordinary-player export.

Access, troubleshooting & sources

This wiki is based on the supplied plugin snapshot and permission export, reviewed 12 November 2026. It is a player guide, not a live server console.

1. If you see “no permission,” check whether the command needs a town, nation, leadership or soldier role. Then consult the plugin’s in-game help. Towny grants role permissions separately from LuckPerms.
2. If a command is unknown, confirm spelling, plugin alias and version. Several unrelated plugins share names such as AuctionHouse. A plugin JAR on disk does not prove that it loaded successfully.
3. If a teleport fails, stand still, leave combat, wait for cooldown and inspect the destination/world restrictions. If a sale fails, check item eligibility, stock, space and balances.
4. For protection errors, use /town here and /plot perm. For map problems, open the full-screen viewer. For support, create a ticket with reproducible details.

Evidence used: EarthForgeMC LuckPerms permissions JSON; Towny townyperms.yml, config and channel settings; installed plugin.yml manifests; local command/help language files; Jobs, Essentials, JustRTP, AuctionHouse, Towny addons, voting and crate settings. Upstream references are linked in the relevant guides. Only selected public gameplay facts are included—no raw server configurations, databases, credentials or player records are shipped.

The permission export was generated on 9 November 2026. Live database changes, failed plugin loads and later server edits can change access. The available in-game help, server rules and staff-published gameplay policies govern the running server.
