Getting started

Welcome to Arcadia SMP, a survival server for Minecraft Java Edition. This page takes you from your first join to your own land and guild.

1. Join the server

Add a server with the address play.arcadiasmp.com and join.

2. Accept the rules

The first time you join, the server rules open. Read them and click Accept; you cannot play until you do. You can read them again any time with /rules.

3. What you start with

• $2,500 money
• 1,200 claim blocks to protect your land
• the Starter kit, given once on your first join (iron tools and armour, food and a bed)
• after 30 minutes of active play, the Welcome bundle ($1,500, 2x Casino Token, Vote Crate key): collect it with /rank reclaim

4. Get around

Command	What it does
/spawn	Teleport to the world spawn
/wild (/rtp)	Teleport to the wilderness
/sethome	Set a home
/home	Teleport to a home, or open your homes menu
/back	Return to your previous location
/tpa	Request to teleport to another player
/kit	Claim, preview or buy a kit, or open the kits menu
/warp	Teleport to a server warp

You can set 3 homes to start with; ranks and upgrades give more.

5. Earn money and coins

• Sell what you mine, farm and hunt: /sell opens a chest to empty your items into, and /shop buys and sells everything for money. /worth shows what an item is worth.
• Take a job with /jobs: miners, farmers, hunters and more are paid for every action.
• Claim /daily every day and keep your streak going.
• Vote every day with /vote for crate keys and coins.
• Do your daily and weekly /quests for battle pass XP.
• You earn Arcadia Coins just by playing; spend them in /coinshop. See Arcadia Coins.

6. Claim your land

Protect your base before you build: stand where you want it and use /claim create, then manage it in /claim menu. Every block of land costs one claim block; you start with 1,200 and earn more by playing. /claim trust <player> <level> lets friends in. More on the Claims page.

7. Join a guild

Team up with other players in a guild: /guild browse lists open guilds, or found your own with /guild for $2,500. See Guilds.

Need help?

/helpop asks online staff for help; /report reports a player; /msg sends a private message. Questions are also answered in the FAQ, and every command is on Player commands.
