Getting Started

Now that you have your trusty companion at your side, let's get you geared up, shall we?

In game chat, type in this command:/kits. When you do, you will be presented with 3 kits; Starter, Trainer, and Claim. Be sure to grab all three of these, as they will be quite helpful when starting out.

An example of the Claim Kit menu.

Put on your adventuring shoes, and get ready to explore! Once you use /rtp, you’ll be out in the wilderness, where Pokémon spawn all around you, and you are free to build and explore!

Building a Base

Phew, that sure was tiring! But now, let’s say you’ve found a wonderful little place you’d like to call “home.” Either before or after you’ve built your base, be sure to read up on the claiming book provided to you along with your trusty golden shovel from /kits.

"How To Claim"

To claim an area, which protects it from other players, simply mark the two opposite corners of a shape that you wish to claim. Claims must be a minimum size of 100 blocks, which is at least a 10x10 area. Your claim will either be in the shape of a rectangle or a square, so no claiming triangles or circles. Once you have the boundary of your claim envisioned, simply take your trusty golden shovel and right click the two corners. After each corner has been right clicked, you will have your claim!

A quick diagram showing how a claim shape will look. Notice how the opposite corners must be right angles.

Further information on claiming and setting claim permissions will be found in our Claiming Guide.

About your Base

Now that you've built a base that you can call home, theres a few housekeeping tasks that we should go over.

First and foremost, walk to a safe spot within your base, and use /sethome <home_name> to create a home location at your feet. Once you have a home, you can use both /homes to look at your list of homes, /home to teleport to your home, or if you need to remove a home, you can use /delhome <home_name> .

A player using /homes. The default number of homes is 3, but additional homes can be acquired.

Next, play around with our claiming system by using the root command /flan. While not immediately important, there are a few aspects that may be good to learn about. Using /flan menu while standing in your claim will bring up a menu of possible things that you can do to your claim. A few examples would be to prevent hostile mob spawns, prevent players from entering your claim, or prevent crops from being trampled. If you have not claimed your base properly, or wish to expand your base, you can use either /flan delete to remove your claim and begin anew, or use /flan expand to instead expand the area of your claim, provided you have enough claim blocks.

If you run out of claim blocks, you may either buy more from /store, /shop, or earn them from crates. Additionally, you will earn claim blocks after playing set periods of time. Pretty neat, right? Finally, we have /flan list. This command is extremely helpful if you accidentally forgot to set a home, but made a claim. This command will show you a list of all claims that you have made with their respective coordinates. If you ever need to find your way back, just use this simple command and take a hike!
