Start with the basics
Emberpine is a survival server with a player economy. Build a home, open a shop, work through the earnable ranks, or spend an evening fishing. You do not need to do everything at once.
Keep inventory is enabled. Claims protect your builds, Jobs pay you for useful activities, and mcMMO adds skills that improve as you play. The main survival world is where your permanent builds belong.
Read the server rules before settling in. The short version is available with /rules in game. The rules still apply to unclaimed land, resource worlds, public warps, and private trades.
Find a place to live
- Use
/rtpto travel to a random location in the main survival world. Stay still while the teleport counts down. - Look around before building. Use a stick to inspect nearby land and the world map to get your bearings.
- Keep new builds and claims at least 200 blocks from another player’s claim boundary unless they give permission. Leave room around unclaimed builds too.
- Choose enough space for the base you want to build, then claim it before you store valuables.
Protect your home and save the location
Hold your golden shovel and right click two opposite corners of the area you want to claim. Wait for the success message and check the marked border. A protected chest does not mean your whole base is protected.
Use /sethome base while standing somewhere safe. You can return with /home base. New players have two home slots, and the first earnable rank increases that to three.
Lost the shovel or books from your starter supplies? /kit claimshovel provides a replacement shovel once an hour. /kit guides replaces the guide books once a minute. The starter kit itself is a first join delivery.

Start earning money
Your starting balance is $200. Check it with /bal. Open /jobs browse, choose a job that fits what you are about to do, and join before you start working.
Miner, Woodcutter, Digger, Farmer, Hunter, and Builder are the available jobs. Job income and mcMMO experience are separate systems, so the same normal activity can help with both.
There is no general admin shop buying all of your materials. Sell useful items to other players through chest shops, the auction house, or a clear private agreement. Custom fish have their own fishing shop.

Gather materials without moving home
Use /resworld for a random teleport into the resource world. Mine, gather building blocks, and bring everything useful back to your main world base.
The resource world resets. Claims and player shops are not available there. Do not treat a saved home in that world as permanent storage.
When you are ready for more, the guides below explain the full systems. You can search the guide index for a command or a topic instead of reading the whole wiki in order.
