Rules

No swearing/cussing, improper language, or mature topics

AutCraft has many younger players so chat must be kept family-friendly at all times. The following list includes a few examples of topics that ARE NOT ALLOWED, but it is not an extensive list. If a staff member asks you to stop saying something, please stop immediately.

Game Play Guidelines
The following are not allowed and may result in punishment:

• Abusing glitches – duplication glitches, economy or plugin glitches, etc. are not allowed on AutCraft. All glitches or server glitches should be reported immediately.
• AFK and Flying machines – Any machines or builds that move the player to avoid being kicked or to travel are strictly forbidden.
• Unapproved mods & Clients – No unapproved mods or clients may be used on AutCraft. Please review the approved mods list for a list of mods that are allowed.

Protections
AutCraft protects the builds of players to prevent others from damaging them, the following guidelines must apply to all builds in order to be protected:

• Builds must be at least 30 blocks away from the nearest build belonging to another player.
• The corners of a protection must be marked to receive a protection. If a build is underground, the “markers” MUST be placed above ground.
• You can have up to 6 other players on a protection.
• Group builds (towns, hotels, etc.) will be protected like any other base (1 owner, 6 members) and must follow the guidelines mentioned above.
• Builds MUST be in a build world to be protected.

No Griefing
Griefing refers to the intentional, unapproved editing or damaging of another player’s property. This is not acceptable behavior for any reason. To report griefing, please type “/modreq I was griefed” and a staff member will assist you.
Griefing is:

• Damaging another player’s build, even if it is not protected.
• Killing another player’s pets or mobs.
• Stealing items from unprotected chests.
• Protecting builds, chests, or doors that do not belong to you.

Family Friendly Builds Only
We hope that everyone on Autcraft uses good judgment about building things appropriate for use in minecraft on a family friendly server. If while exploring you find an inappropriate build, please type '/modreq inappropriate build' while standing nearby. An admin will take a look as soon as possible and remove it if necessary.
We will remove builds that we deem inappropriate, including but not limited to: Any symbol, emblem, or shape that represents an intolerant or hateful group. Any representation of male or female private body part(s). Any swearing or hateful words spelled out with blocks, on signs, or in books.
Please do not build "adults only" establishments, including casinos, bars, and nightclubs. References to alcohol or drugs in builds or item names are not allowed on Autcraft.

Skins and Banners
If your skin or banner is used with intent to scare, annoy, harass, or impose a view or position on to other players, a helper or admin may ask you to change your skin and/or remove the banner before returning to gameplay. Skins and Banners need to be family-friendly including but not limited to:

• No Herobrine, Creepypasta, or Five Nights at Freddy's skins.
• No blood or gore of any kind on skins.
• No indecent exposure or naked skins.

One Account Per Player
Alternative and shared accounts are not allowed for any reason on AutCraft. Alternative accounts will be removed from the white-list and shared accounts will be handled accordingly by staff.

Trapping/Killing Players
The intentional trapping or killing of a player on AutCraft will not be tolerated. Traps will be removed and the player responsible will be punished accordingly.

Public Builds
If you decide to make a build for community use, it is your responsibility to maintain it. Public builds will be protected following the previously mentioned Protection Guidelines.

Redstone
Staff reserves the right to request any build be removed if it is too demanding of the server. All redstone builds MUST abide by the following:

• No continuously running redstone clocks or machines
• No more than 100 hoppers can be used in a build.

Pet Ownership
As a large survival server with hundreds of different players on each day, we must limit the number of pets each player can have in order to reduce lag. The follow limits have been set for the benefit of the entire server.
You are allowed to have 10 of each animal type with the following exceptions:

• Sheep: You may have 32 total sheep, of any color combination (two of each color)
• Villagers: You may have 15 villagers
• Wolves: You may have 18 wolves (2 of each variety)
• Cats: You may have 22 cats (2 of each variety)

These limits are per loaded area. A loaded area is defined by a radius of 10 chunks around any player location. We recommend spacing large groups of mobs at least 20 chunks apart to prevent them from being loaded at the same time. 

Sheep and wolf limits are to allow two of each variety, however you are welcome to mix and match however you choose, including having all the same color, as long as they remain within the stated limit.

There are more than 15 villager occupations. This means that if you want to have a villager trading area for books or materials, you must have separate areas to ensure no more than 15 villagers are loaded at any one time. 

Tamed animals:

• Do not leave any pets sitting in any area that is not yours. Admins will not know who they belong to and they will be removed and you will not have the opportunity to get the animal back.
• Pets are not damage-proof! If you take them out of your area, they may not be safe. Wolves and cats are damaged by arrows and flames and wolves can take fall damage.
• We recommend you keep pets safe at home.Take care of your pets in the game as you would a pet in real life.

Chat Guidelines

No Cheating/Hacking

• No swearing, do not swear or attempt to bypass the swear filter in any way.
• No religious or political discussions, AutCraft is not the place for controversial discussions.
• No mature media, including but not limited to, TV shows, movies, videos, and games. Please note that Roblox has recently changed its age rating as is no longer appropriate for Autcraft.
• No taunting/name-calling/harassment, Autcraft strives to be a safe haven from bullying. Unkind words and actions will not be tolerated.
• No dating or romantic relationships, these subjects are not appropriate for younger players and will not be tolerated.
• No violence or threats, including but not limited to, guns and other weapons, murder, threatening to hurt yourself or others, even jokingly.
• No vulgar acts or “potty talk”, we do not need to know about any illnesses or bodily functions.
• No horror, creepypasta, or other topics that may upset players. 

No Spam
Sometimes chat is going really fast! It is okay to say it again later if you feel no one heard you but you don’t need to say it a lot of times in a row.

• No repeated letters or characters, like this: ‘Nooooooooooo!’ or ‘No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
• No countdowns, like this: ‘5’ ‘4’ ‘3’ ‘2’ ‘1’
• No gibberish, like this: ‘wkejhrlwkjebdlwkjebrlwiuer’
• No Ascii or Unicode symbols, like this: ‘☺∑۞♥♫♯ '
• No repeating chat lines, like this: ‘I need wood’ ‘I need wood’ ‘I need wood’

No Harassment
You should not, in any way, harass, annoy, bully, or otherwise inconvenience any players. This includes name-calling and other forms of insulting others. If somebody asks you to stop something, please do so immediately. Harassment or bullying of any kind will not be tolerated on any AutCraft platform.

No Personal Information
Privacy and security are of the utmost importance to us here at AutCraft. Because of this, seeking out personal information of other players is strictly forbidden and will be handled accordingly. Please consult this general guide on internet safety for guidelines and advice.

• DO NOT share identifying information, such as last names, school names, city names, etc.

English Only
We understand that English might not be your first language, but AutCraft is an English speaking server only. We will help you in any way that we can, but we ask that all communication on AutCraft platforms are in English.

No Advertising
There will be no advertising of any other servers in any form. No talking about other servers, enjins, discords, games, etc. on any AutCraft platforms.

Changing Usernames
Usernames should not:

• Mimic or put down other players
• Be inappropriate in any way
• Make players think you are staff (copying names of Helpers, SrHelpers, Admins)

You will be removed from the whitelist until you change your name back.

Roleplay Reminders
We know some of our players have active imaginations and are fantastic storytellers. Chat channels are available for any players who want to participate in extended roleplays. All roleplay chat needs to be contained in a channel and need to follow all of AC's Chat Guidelines. Sr. Helpers and Admins monitor all chat channels.

Forum Rules

• No posting links to download files. Due to the inherent danger of downloading unknown files off the internet, we cannot allow this. 
• All content posted, including, but not limited to, images, song lyrics, art, stories, venting, random chatter, *must* be Autcraft friendly and appropriate for all ages.
• All previously stated server rules apply to the forum

Consequences

On Autcraft we try to be fair and understanding. We have several tools to help us maintain a safe and family-friendly environment. What tool is used is at the discretion of the staff member online at the time. In most situations, there will be one or more verbal warnings in public and/or private messages.

If you or your child experiences any of these consequences, you can contact any staff member in game via private chat, /helpop, or the Facebook page. Please include the player’s username when inquiring via email or Facebook. We advise all parents to frequently check the emails provided in the whitelist application for updates concerning the player.

Mute
Mutes prevent the players from speaking in chat or channels and are generally reserved for chat violations. You will usually be messaged concerning why you were muted and can often respond via a book or signs. Admins can also be contacted with /helpop.

Jail
Jail is a room that players cannot leave or interact with other players. Jail is typically, but not exclusively, reserved for violations of gameplay rules. Players may be held there until staff can contact their parent or guardian.

Ban
In extreme cases, players who repeatedly make poor choices will be temporarily unable to access the Autcraft server. The timeframe is at the discretion of the admins, however, some players will remain banned until their parents can be contacted to help us help the player better understands the rules.

Whitelist Removal
Rarely, but sometimes, players are removed from the whitelist and given a chance in the future to apply again. This is used for players who are continually destructive or show signs that they are not ready to participate in a multiplayer server.

Note to Players
This is not an extensive list of the rules and behaviors expected of AutCraft players. If a staff member asks you to stop a certain behavior, you are expected to respect their request. If you disagree with a staff member or their request, you should contact an admin via private message, do not argue with staff members.

 

Store

Description

The Autcraft Store is where players can buy ranks, permissions, and other items to enhance game play. To access the store, visit click here, or click the "Store" tab on our website menu.

Currency

Items can be purchased using real money, or with credits. Players can earn credits by signing up for in game jobs and then converting earned job points to store credit. 

Jobs

Players can have up to three jobs at a time. Visit /warp jobs to see available jobs and their descriptions. After choosing jobs, simply do activities that earn points. For example, Miner job gives points for mining stone, ores, deepslate, and other blocks. Choosing activities that are enjoyed and frequently done while playing Minecraft will make earning points quick and easy.

Converting Job Points

IMPORTANT Players must have registered at Autcraft.com beginning April 2022 or later before converting any job points. If you have not updated registration to our new website, your job points will be lost during conversion. 

When a player is ready to use their job points, they can convert the points into credits with the command /jobs shop

The blocks on the shop GUI represent the increments of points that can be converted into credits. Hovering over each block will provide the conversion information. Players must have a free inventory space in order to convert points.

Note: These blocks do not represent ranks or any other item. They are only placeholders for the conversion options. 

Dirt Conversion - 10,000 job points = 1 store credit

Iron Conversion - 100,000 job points = 10 store credits

Gold Conversion - 500,000 = 50 store credits

Diamond Conversion - 1,000,000 job points = 100 store credits

Using the Store

After points have been converted to credits, players can visit the store by clicking the link on the menu bar at the top of our website. Please make sure that there is enough inventory space in the game for the player to receive the items purchased. 

Items are added to the store manually. As our store is newly opened, please be patient during the process. As of the most recent update of this page, only Ranks are available for purchase. Other items will be added. 

Select the category of the desired item. At this stage, there will be a field to enter the username of the player the item will be sent to. This can be you, or it can be a different name if you wish to donate a rank to another player. 

Note: The store no longer displays your current balance until you get to the checkout page.

For information about each item, click "Buy"

A description of the item will pop up. To continue with the purchase, choose "Buy"

On the checkout page, there is an option to use the available credit balance, or pay with real money through PayPal. Make sure to check the box at the bottom agreeing to terms and conditions of the purchase. To finalize this sale, click "Purchase."

Approved Mods

Mods are modifications to the Minecraft game that make it behave differently. Sometimes they're small, like a minor graphical change; sometimes they're big, like adding new blocks and items; and sometimes they're unfair, like x-ray. In an effort to ensure that Autcraft is a safe and fair place to play, where everyone has similar experiences and opportunities, only some mods are allowed.

This is a list of all of the mods currently allowed to be used on the Autcraft server. If a mod you want to use is on this list, please read the entire section for that mod so that you can see if there are any parts of that mod that are disallowed. If there is a mod that you want to use that is not on this list, please see if it has been suggested before and if not, suggest it on the forums and don't use it unless it is put on this list.

Note: If a mod on this list requires another mod to work, that mod is also allowed.

Mod Loaders

Most mods use either the Fabric/Quilt or Forge mod loader. To use a mod, you'll usually have to install a mod loader first.

How to Install Fabric

1. Download the Fabric installer from fabricmc.net/use. Use the Windows/.EXE method if you are on Windows, or the universal jar method if you're on another platform (or don't like the SmartScreen warning). Note that to open the .jar file, you'll need to install Java first which you can do from adoptium.net.
2. Open the file that you downloaded. If done correctly, the installer window should appear.
3. Select the Minecraft version you want to use.
4. Click "Install".
5. Open the Minecraft launcher (closing it first if it was already open).
6. A new Fabric installation profile should appear. Select it, put the mods you want to use into a "mods" folder in your Minecraft directory (instructions on how to find it here), and you're ready to play!

Quilt

Quilt is a fork of Fabric, compatible with most Fabric mods (though that's one-directional compatibility - Fabric cannot load Quilt mods). The QuiltMC website has installation instructions if you want to use Quilt.

How to Install Forge

1. Download the installer for the version of Forge for the Minecraft version you want to use from files.minecraftforge.net. Note that clicking on the download link will take you to an ad page before letting you download the file, do **NOT** click on *anything* on that page except for the "Skip" button at the top-right! If you did that correctly, you should get a file named forge-<minecraft_version>-<forge_version>-installer.jar.
2. To open the .jar file, you'll need to install Java first which you can do from adoptium.net.
3. Open the file that you downloaded (with Java). If done correctly, the installer window should appear.
4. Click "OK".
5. Open the Minecraft launcher (closing it first if it was already open).
6. A new Forge installation profile should appear. Select it, put the mods you want to use into a "mods" folder in your Minecraft directory (instructions on how to find it here), and you're ready to play!

A word of safety: NEVER download mods or mod loaders from websites you don't trust! At best, this can lead to installing malware and viruses; at worst, you can lose your Minecraft account. For your safety (and everyone else's), only download mods from the websites listed below unless you are sure you know what you're doing.

OptiFine

OptiFine is likely the most popular and most downloaded mod for Minecraft. It's been around since Minecraft Beta 1.7.3, and was originally a great mod with many optimisations, features, and quality of life improvements. However, in recent years, it's benefits have dwindled and causes many incompatibilities with other mods due to it replacing large amounts of code and being closed-source. In the modern Minecraft modding era, with the Fabric/Quilt mod loader and community, open-source mods exist to replace most of OptiFine's features. Other mods that optimise the game more than OptiFine exist too, and they work in a way that's more compatible with other mods.

It's not recommended to use OptiFine anymore, but it is allowed as long as Options -> Video Settings -> Performance -> Fast Math is set to OFF (reason why here). OptiFabric is a mod which allows you to use OptiFine on the Fabric mod loader (it isn't supported natively), and is also allowed, though not recommended.

How to Download OptiFine Safely

1. Go to the download page on optifine.net.
2. Find the version you want to download in the versions list.
3. Right click the "(mirror)" button link to the right of the "Download" button for the version you want to download.
4. A context menu should have appeared. In it should be an option called something like "Open Link in New Tab". Click it.
5. You should now be on the page with the download link. Click it. There are ads here, so be very careful to click on the right link.
6. You should get a file called something like OptiFine_<minecraft_version>_HD_U_<letter><number>.jar.

How to Install OptiFine Standalone

1. Open the installer .jar file. To do this you'll need to install Java first, which you can do from adoptium.net.
2. Click "Install".
3. Open the Minecraft launcher (closing it first if it was already open).
4. A new OptiFine installation profile should appear. Select it, and you're ready to play!

Allowed Mods

Performance

Despite being a simple-looking block game, Minecraft can actually be quite difficult to run because it is incredibly unoptimised. Luckily, the community have recognised this and created mods to help. These mods don't affect gameplay, and exist to improve performance, and so are okay to use on the server.

Note: Any performance enhancing mod that does not affect gameplay is approved to use on Autcraft. See examples below. If you have a question about if a mod is okay, please ask on the suggestions forum.

• Sodium - Rendering engine and client-side optimisation mod, usually even better than OptiFine.
• Indium - An addon mod for Sodium adding Fabric Rendering API compatibility (which is required for some of the mods below to work with Sodium).
• Lithium - Optimises many server-side things, though provides some benefit when installed on a client only.
• Phosphor - Optimises the lighting engine.
• Starlight - Replaces the lighting engine with a significantly more optimised alternative. Generally performs better than Phosphor, though isn't compatible with Phosphor and is generally less compatible with other mods than Phosphor. NOTE: No longer updated
• FerriteCore - Reduces memory usage.
• LazyDFU - Reduces start-up time by not compiling DataFixerUpper rules until they're actually needed.
• Dynamic FPS - Renders Minecraft at 1fps (or not at all) when unfocused, as well as improving background performance.
• Enhanced Block Entities - Optimises block entity (such as chests) rendering by rendering them as normal blocks until they need to animate.
• Entity Culling - Optimises entity rendering by culling entities hidden behind walls using asynchronous path-tracing. Not perfect, but can increase performance when there's lots of entities around.
• Exordium* - Rendering the GUI at a lower framerate to increase available rendering resources to the world rendering. There's little point in rendering the hotbar at 100+ fps.
• ImmediatelyFast* - Optimises "extra" rendering - maps, particles, entities, text, etc.

OptiFine Alternatives

While OptiFine is not recommended to be used, you can still use most of its features by using a mod from this list that adds the feature you want to use.

• Iris - Supports loading OptiFine format shaders. It's compatible with Sodium, allowing for much better performance when using shaders compared to OptiFine.
• Canvas - An alternative shader and optimisation mod, incompatible with Sodium and Iris. Uses it's own shader format.
• Kappa - Lets you see OptiFine capes without using OptiFine.
• Logical Zoom - Adds a simple zoom mimicking OptiFine's zoom.
• Ok Zoomer - Adds a configurable zoom.
• Zoomify - Also adds a configurable zoom, with different (more?) options.
• WI Zoom - The zoom from the Wurst hacked client as a dedicated mod.
• LambDynamicLights - Adds dynamic lights. If you hold a torch, the area around you lights up!
• Continuity - Adds efficient MCPatcher/OptiFine format connected textures. Includes a resource pack adding some connected textures (like glass and bookshelves), and another resource pack to fix glass pane culling.
• LambdaBetterGrass - Recreates OptiFine's better grass and snow features with extra customisation.
• Fabrishot - Lets you take large screenshots.
• Cull Leaves - Recreation of OptiFine's "Smart Leaves" feature. If playing on fast graphics, this won't change visuals, but will still provide a performance increase in forested areas (see: MC-179383).
• CIT Resewn - Recreates OptiFine's Custom Item Textures feature, allowing for items to have different textures or models depending on some information about the item such as its name.
• Chime - An alternative Custom Item Textures mod using its own format.
• Nuit (formerly FabricSkyboxes) - Recreates OptiFine's "Custom Skies" feature, but using its own format.
• Entity Textures Fabric* - Recreates OptiFine's Random/Custom Entity Textures feature, allowing resource packs to specify custom textures for entities to use based on several properties such as spawn biome or name.
• Entity Model Features* - Recreates OptiFine's Custom Entity Models feature, available in both Fabric and Forge.
• OptiGUI - Recreates OptiFine's Custom GUIs feature, giving resource packs way more control over GUI textures.
• Animatica - Recreates OptiFine's Animated Textures feature, allowing almost any texture to be animated instead of only items and blocks.
• Colormatic - Recreates OptiFine's Custom Colours feature, allowing resource packs to change the colours of things that are normally hardcoded by vanilla such as the experience levels number, dyes, the sky, arbitrary blocks based on biome, and lightmaps.
• Puzzle - Adds configs for a few mods that re-implement OptiFine features to one central place, and adds a few extra resource packs features of its own.
• Sodium Extra - Adds lots of OptiFine's smaller settings, like whether certain animations, particles, or details render, and an optional fps information overlay like OptiFine has.
  • Reese's Sodium Options - Changes Sodium's options menu to fit more on the screen, recommended to use with Sodium Extras due to the amount of extra options it adds.
• MCPPPP - Runs a conversion tool on startup converting OptiFine/MCPatcher format resource packs into newer formats (most notably for FabricSkyboxes).

Visual Changing Mods

• Item Model Fix - A small graphical enhancement mod that fixes the tiny gaps in item models.
• 'Slight' GUI Modifications - Allows you to customise some parts of the GUI that are normally hard-coded and adds some new animations for things like taking screenshots.
• Quilt Loading Screen - A tiny mod that changes the loading screen to have several patches from the Quilt logo falling like snow (with an optional pride mode).
• First-person Model - Enables the third-person model in first-person, so you can see the game from the player's real perspective. Do not enable FirstPerson Settings -> Cosmetics -> Change camera height.
• Not Enough Animations - Adds some missing third-person animations that play in first-person and modifies some existing third-person animations to make them more accurate to how they're rendered in first-person.
• Skin Layers 3D - Renders the usually flat second layer of player skins as a 3D model.
• CapeTweaks - Allows you to disable capes and slightly modify how they behave.
• Wavey Capes - Makes capes be wavey!
• Clear Skies (forge version) - Removes the lighter-coloured band around the horizon.
• Blur (forge version) - Lets you customise the normally transparent black GUI background shown when in inventories or in the pause menu by changing its colour, making it a gradient, or blurring what's behind it.
• Falling Leaves - Adds little particle leaves that fall from trees and move in the wind.
• MinecraftCapes Mod - A cape mod letting you add custom capes to your Minecraft character.
• Hat List - Always shows the hat layer of Minecraft skins in the tab player list.
• Chat Heads - Shows player heads next to chat messages depicting the sender of the message.
• Semitranslucency Fix - Allows resource packs to use semi-transparent pixels instead of only either fully transparent or fully opaque pixels in GUI/HUD textures.
• Seamless Loading Screen (1.19.2 fork) - Takes a screenshot when you leave a world or server, and shows it as the loading screen background when you rejoin.
• Fullbright (Forge)- This mod provides 4 brightness levels which can be cycled through by tapping the keybind
• GammaUtils (Fabric) - This is a fully configurable and client side gamma/brightness utility mod.
• Caxton - Adds proper TrueType/OpenType font rendering support, allowing for perfectly smooth vector font rendering like in web browsers instead of using bitmaps. This can make chat easier to read, especially when scaled to certain values.
• No Weather Effects - Introduces a new component into the game by disabling all of the game’s weather effects, including precipitation, storms, and snowfall, resulting in clear skies at all times.
• Do a Barrel Roll - A lightweight, fully client-side mod for Fabric that changes elytra flight to be more fun and semi-realistic. It achieves this by redesigning movement with a completely unlocked camera orientation in mind, allowing for full pitch, yaw and roll control in flight. Note: check required dependencies
• Simple Armor Hud*- Displays the armor currently being worn above the hunger bar, along with a damage bar.
• Dynamic Surroundings* - Alters the visual and audio experience by adding more effects to the game.

• Bobby* - Increases the apparent render distance for the player, allowing for better screenshots and more expansive views. 
• PatPat* - Adds animations allowing players to pet mobs.

Utility Mods

Note: Any mod with the sole purpose of allowing controller use in Minecraft is approved. Any non-vanilla features, such as reach-around, must be disabled. If you have questions about a specific mod, please ask in the suggestions forum. 

• Mod menu - Adds a "Mods" button and provides a list of mods and a way to access their configs in-game.
• ShulkerBoxToolip - A mod allowing you to see everything that's inside a shulker box by hovering over it in an inventory instead of only seeing a small text list.
• AdvancedChatCore - A base mod that other AdvancedChat module mods rely on, that also adds a few basic features such as chat timestamps and duplicate message stacking.
  • AdvancedChatLog - Adds a searchable chat log of many previous messages that you can access with a keybind or button.
  • AdvancedChatFilters - Lets you filter incoming chat messages and replace their contents, change colours, play a sound, and many other things.
  • AdvancedChatBox - Adds some configurable features to the chat box area that you type in, such as a spell checker and in-chat calculator.
  • AdvancedChatHUD - Lets you separate different types of chat messages into different chat windows (known as "tabs"), as well as colour them and move them wherever you want.
• MiniHUD - Adds a customisable "mini-F3" screen, with many additional render options showing things like light levels or holographical spheres. If you use this mod, you are not allowed to use the debug water renderer (enabled with Config -> Renderer Hotkeys -> debugWaterEnabled).
• Item Scroller - Adds many new shortcuts for inventory GUIs allowing you to move items around much quicker than usual. Note: Autcraft has a packet rate-limit and your client will get auto-kicked if it sends too many packets too quickly, which can happen when using certain shortcuts too many times too quickly. You can enable Config -> Generic -> rateLimitClickPackets and adjust the Config -> Generic -> packetRateLimit setting if you would like to prevent this from happening, however that can cause your shortcuts to take a while to execute and so this is not required.
• No Strip - Adds a toggle to being able to strip logs.
• Amecs - Allows you to have more control over your keybinds.
• Extra Sounds - Adds configurable sounds to the Minecraft UI for actions that are normally silent (such as changing hotbar slot or a message appearing in chat).
• Xaero's World Map and Xaero's Minimap (Fair-Play Edition) - Map mods that work together. They map out the area around you in real-time and let you set waypoints to remember locations. Note: Only the Fair-Play edition of Xaero's Minimap is allowed, please make sure you don't use the full edition. Also, remember to disable the minimap and don't use the world map while in competitive minigames such as H&S.
• Vivecraft - Lets you play Minecraft in Virtual Reality!
• Roughly Enough Items (and Just Enough Items) - Offers a clean, simple way to view blocks and items, along with their recipes.
• multiconnect - Allows your client to fake the Minecraft version its running so you can join older servers with newer clients.
  • ViaFabric (and ViaForge) - Adds ViaVersion packet translation to the client, allowing you to join older servers in newer clients (similar to multiconnect). Autcraft has server-side ViaVersion packet translation, so this mod isn't necessary there, but it's allowed anyway.
  • ViaBackwards - Like ViaFabric, but the other way around. Allows you to join newer servers in older clients.
• Not Enough Crashes - Improves Minecraft crashing. Instead of closing the game immediately, it shows you a list of mods possibly involved in the crash and returns you to the main menu. Sometimes a crash is unrecoverable, or a crash corrupts the render engine, in which case a restart is required.
• Inventory Control Tweaks - Adds a few useful inventory shortcuts, like swapping an elytra in your hand with the chestplate you're wearing with right-click (normally you can only do this if you're not already wearing the chestplate).
• Language Reload - Only reloads language data when swapping languages instead of all resources from all enabled resource packs. Also allows you to have multiple languages enabled at the same time, similar to resource packs.
• Distant Horizons - Adds a Level Of Detail (LOD) system to Minecraft, allowing for much higher effective render distances by rendering far-away chunks as blocks of colours instead of detailed block models. On multiplayer servers, it will only load LODs for chunks that you've seen before. If there's a gap in the areas you've been, there'll be a gap in the world, which you can see through to see things underground you wouldn't be able to normally (although not in much detail). Remember, intentionally x-raying in any way is not allowed. Please do not abuse this.
• Force Close Loading Screen - Fixes a bug where the "loading terrain" screen shows longer than it needs to.
• Enhanced Searchability - Adds a search bar to the resource pack, server, and data pack selection screens.
• PingList - Replaces the ping bars in the player tab list with coloured numerical values.
• microDurability - Adds durability bars above the experience points level number showing the durability level of your armour/elytra.
• One Click Crafting - Makes it faster to use the recipe book by making it craft stuff on click instead of just preparing the recipe.
• ChestTracker - Remembers the contents of containers you open and allows you to search through its memories to highlight containers containing the item you want.
• Colorful Subtitles- Categorizes subtitles into hostile, peaceful, and other areas to assist with awareness of surroundings. Colors are assigned to each type of sound.
• Mouse Tweaks - Replaces the default dragging mechanic to allow for quickly selecting identical blocks when moving between inventories.
• World Edit CUI - provides a client-side user interface for the WorldEdit plugin allowing you to see your selected region in-game in real time.
• Craftify - Allows you to control the Spotify app while in Minecraft. You can choose to have chat notifications when a new song begins, display album art, and other options. Please note that this mod does require fabric-language-kotlin 
• Jade - Displays information about what you are looking at. Option to add narration. Dependent on Just Enough Items.
• DarknessUtils - Adds an outline to the bosses in Darkness and Wither fights to make them easier to locate in the arena.
• DarknessUtils 1.20.4 Fork - An updated fork of the original player-made mod.
• Chat Patches - Adds time stamps to each message. Config file can be edited to adjust time format as well as color (converted to decimal). Requires Yet Another Config Lib and Mod Menu.
  
• Notes - In-game note pad for all your base planning needs.
• Sounds Be Gone - Adds ability to permanently mute specific sounds heard in game. 
• Untranslated Items - Displays item names in English(US), regardless of the current language setting. If the item has a translation in the current language, it will be shown at the same time. 
• CalcMod* - Make Minecraft-specific calculations right in your chat window! 
• Status Effect Timer* - Displays the remaining time for status effects in the upper right corner of your screen.

Client-Specific Mods

We do not have the time to review every possible mod or client, however as needed, we will sometimes review third party client mod lists to ensure players continue to play fairly on Autcraft. Any pre-installed mods that are already on our approved mods list are automatically approved for use with third party clients. Most "mods" that are included with these clients function as resource packs or are changes easily accessible through vanilla Minecraft options. If you use a third party client and do not see a mod that you are interested included on this list, please ask for approval before using. Make sure to scroll up and check that it is not already listed as an approved mod. The following list includes currently approved third party client mods.

Description 

Augmentative and Alternative Communication, or AAC, refers to any form of communications besides talking. Augmentative means to add, while alternative means to be used in place of something. AAC can be as simple as using facial expressions, drawing pictures, using hand gestures, or pointing to pictures and words. It can also be special programs on tablets or using a computer to speak for you. 

Autcraft's AAC

Our AAC plugin utilizes Minecraft items that represent helpful phrases. A list of current options is at the bottom of this page. If there are additional options that you would like to see included, please make a post on our suggestions forum.

To open the ACC GUI, type /acc get

Open the green book to view the options. 

Hovering over any of the displayed images will pop up a word or short phrase.

Clicking an item will immediately send the attached word or phrase into chat. 

Current Options

This list will be updated as more options are added to our AAC. The list is current as of 26, March, 2024

Tour Guide

Description

Players who log into Autcraft for the first time should always be offered a tour. This guide provides helpful information on the areas to show each player and some simple wording for each area. Please always offer a personal guided tour. The tour coaster has been created for when there is no one available to give a tour so the new player can still get started. https://www.autcraft.com/forum/topic/204-tour-guide/

For a simpler version of this guide, please visit the Tour Guide forum. 

Who Can Give Tours
Any player can give a tour! Please explore Spawn to learn where things area. Review the basic rules of Autcraft so you can answer questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't know the answer to a question. Ask to shadow a tour led by an experienced tour giver, such as a Helper or Buddy. 

Tour Behavior

• Stick to the important topics (portal room, shops, info center)
• New players do not need to see your base or learn about your head collection. There is plenty of time to do that after the tour. 
• If you need to leave before the tour is over, do not just say goodbye and leave. Always find someone to take over the tour. Introduce the new player to the person finishing the tour, then say goodbye. 
• Do not start playing a minigame during the tour. Let the player know they have time to play games when the tour is over. Help them set a home in build world, request protection, and lock a chest for their items before starting any games. 
• Always tell the player how to leave the channel after the tour and make sure they have left the channel before you leave. Welcome them to Autcraft back in main chat.  

Areas to Cover

• Portal Room
  • Please explain the purpose of each world instead of only announcing where each portal leads, as they are already labeled. 
  • Explain the purpose of resource worlds and that they reset each month. 
  • When you get to the minigames portal, explain that they must empty their inventory before joining a game. Show the new player where the enderchests are. Let them know to ask in chat when they want a friend to join them in a game.
• Jobs
  • Use the button wall, walk, or use /warp jobs
  • Explain that doing jobs in Autcraft will earn them join points and jobs $ (/bal)
  • They can have up to 3 jobs at a time and can change jobs at any time. 
  • Give the player time to choose their jobs. 
• Shops
  • Walk, or use /warp shops
  • Show The Bank and explain how to exchange jobs $ (seen with /bal) for emeralds. If you are feeling generous, grab some emeralds to give them. 
  • Take them to one of the shops and explain how to right click a shopkeeper to see what is for sale. 
  • If you gave them emeralds, let them buy something. 
  • Take the new player to the Trades area and let them explore what is available. 
• Lost and Found
  • Return to /spawn
  • Walk the player to Lost and Found
  • Explain that important items that are found can be returned here.
  • Show the player the anvils and ask that they name important items with their use name so items can be easily returned. 
• Info Center
  • Walk up the stairs Info Center
  • Commonly used commands are displayed in this room.
  • Players can check here or ask in chat is they have any questions

Optional Areas to Cover

These are other important areas to show new players, but they are not required if the new player seems bored or in a hurry to get to playing. 

• TAO
  • Talking About Others
  • Explain that we like to share when players are being kind and helpful
  • Show the book dispenser and the hopper
• Birthday Island (Birthday Boardwalk)
  • Tell the new player that they can let us know about their birthday!
  • Birthdays can be added using the /birthday <day> <month> command. This automatically informs staff about upcoming birthdays which are announced at Player of the Week and displayed on the Birthday Board at /warp bday.

But There is So Much More To See!
Less is More. Too much information makes it hard to remember it all. Stick to the important places and leave the rest for the new player to discover as they play.

• If the new players asks to see a specific area, show them!
• Wait to show player shops, the emerald farm, or any other builds until the tour is complete. 

I'm Not Giving a Tour. How Can I Help?

• If someone else is giving a tour and you are not part of it, please wait until the tour is over before interacting.
• Please do not send the new player any TP requests. New players may not understand the commands and they need to learn Spawn first.
• Let the player giving the tour lead our new friend around. 
• Wait before inviting them to play games, visit your base, or anything else on the server. Let them finish their tour. 
• Please wait before throwing gifts at new players
• Give the new player some space. Logging in for the first time can be very scary.
• Wait until the tour is over and then ask if they would like any armor or gifts. Some players like to earn things on their own
• Do not join the tour channel unless you are giving a tour or shadowing to learn how to give one in the future. The channel is only for the new player and tour giver. 
• If you are shadowing a tour, please just watch and listen. Save any questions you have for after the tour, or message a staff member for help. 

The New Player is in a Hurry to Get Started! What is the Shortest Tour I Can Give?

• Show the player the portal room
  • Explain the difference between build worlds and resource worlds
• Let them choose which world they want to build their first baes in
  • Guide them through finding a place to build, setting their first home, and submitting at /modreq for protection
• Tell them to ask in chat if they have any question. 
• Let them know they can have a full tour at any time if they want one. 

Wording Suggestions (great to copy/past into chat!)

• Resource versus Build
  • The resource world is for mining, hunting, getting wood, and other things. The world resets each month.
  • The build world is where we have our bases and keep our things. It does not reset. 
• Minigame Inventory
  • Always empty your inventory, including any gear you are wearing, before joining a minigame. You may use the enderchests in the portal room or in the minigames lobby.
• Info Center
  • This is where you will find answers to many common questions. You can also ask in chat if you need any help.
• How to /sethome
  • Please give each home a unique name like "base." Please type /sethome base
  • Let's test your set home. Walk over here and type /home base
• Marking Protection Corners
  • Use the wool markerblocks to mark the corners of the area you want to claim. Make sure they are easy for the admins to see. 
• Modreq
  • Please type /modreq please protect
• Lock Chest and Sign Placement
  • You can lock a chest to just you by placing a sign without shift/crouch. 
  • (Place a double chest and give them a sign if you are able)
• How to Leave the Channel
  • Do you have any questions before we end the tour?
  • To leave the tour please type /chan leave
  • (Make sure the player understands how to leave the channel before you leave)
  • (in main chat) Back from chan with (new player name). Welcome to Autcraft!

Other Useful Information
If you are giving a tour with more than one tour guide, take turns sharing information and explaining areas. An easy way to do this is one person explains the portal room. The next person explains the jobs area, and so on. 

Please try to keep the tour brief. New players are eager to start playing. Show them what they need to know to get started and help them get playing as soon as possible. A complete tour can take as little as 10 minutes. 

Description

Staying safe online includes protecting your mental health. There are tools available to help us avoid unnecessary stress from online bullying, harassment, general annoyance, and an over-connection to social media. Knowing how to ignore and block specific players, adjusting notification settings, and having a way to contact admins in an emergency will greatly improve your online experience.

Autcraft

Ignore
If a player is bothering you, you have the option to stop their messages from appearing on your screen with the command /ignore <player name>.

Example: /ignore username1

You can keep the player ignored forever, or for a short amount of time to take a break.
To stop ignoring a player, use /unignore <player name>

Teleporting

We always have the option to deny teleport requests with /tpdeny or /tpno but if you have Patreon rank you can also set all requests to automatically deny with the command /tptoggle

HelpOP

Another very important command to know is /helpop <message>
This is only to be used in emergency situations when there are no staff members online.
Always check Tab to make sure there are no Helpers, Sr. Helpers, or Admins online before using this command.

/helpop can be use used to immediately contact staff to alert serious situations, such as:

• Someone threatening the safety of you, other players, or the server
• Someone talking about suicide or self harm in real life
• Drama in chat that is causing stress
• The server is malfunctioning and needs attention

Do Not use /helpop for anything that can wait, such as a question for AutismFather, or to check on a modreq.

Legal Information

COPPA

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act has been Federal law since 1998. It exists to restrict how websites, apps, and other online groups can collect and use children’s data. Due to these restrictions, many apps and websites do not allow children under 13 years of age to create accounts. If they are found to knowingly allow underage children to use their services, steep fines may be imposed, which have reached millions of dollars in past cases.  This is why so many websites and other online services have a minimum age requirement of 13.

Autcraft History

Description

Autcraft was created on June 23, 2013, in response to autism parents online searching for a safe place for their children to play without fear of bullying, teasing or harassment. Stuart Duncan created an autism blog titled Autism From a Father's Point of View in May 2010 and and got to know many people throughout the autism community.

Autcraft's original logo with the first Lodge at Spawn 1

Creation
As the popularity of Minecraft grew, he began to notice more and more parents of autistic children reaching out to one another in hopes that their children could play apart from the public servers where bullying ran rampant. Witnessing this for several months, Stuart Duncan felt like he could help. From a modest $2.50 investment, Autcraft was born.

Reception
From just a simple Facebook post going out exclusively to friends, not publicly, the reach went viral within the autism community as word spread from autism parent to autism parent. Stuart was quoted as saying "within 2 days, I had received over 750 emails."

Within 48 hours of announcing the launch of the server, Stuart Duncan's ISP (Internet Service Provider) disabled his access to their email server citing the reason being that the traffic volume of emails resembled that of a business and was not allowed for a residential account.

Within 8 days of the server's launch, the price of renting the server hardware went from $2.50/m to $85/m having upgraded 8 times from the bottom tier package to the top tier.

Currently, the server has over 15000 players on the whitelist with an average of 1,200 unique players on the server each month.

 

AutismFather

Things to Know

•     AutismFather does not cheat. Don't ask him to use creative to get items, or suggest using command blocks to make things easier. He absolutely refuses to cheat or to cheat for anyone else.
•     AutismFather believes in everyone having the same opportunities. That might not always mean that people are treated equally since some people need more help than others to have the same experience. But it also means no special favours for individuals unless everyone can have the same thing.
•     AutismFather lives in Canada

Commands
/channel create <name> - create a new chat channel. Channel names must be one word with no spaces.
Example: /channel create private
/channel join <name> - join an existing chat channel

Note: Admins and SrHelpers can monitor the chat channels to make sure the chat is appropriate.

.

Description

There are several ways in which players can communicate with each other both on and off the server. 

Public Chat
To enter a message into public chat, press the T key on your keyboard to open the dialog prompt. A cursor will begin blinking within this prompt, indicating that it is ready to receive characters that you type into your keyboard.

Enter your message into this box and press the Return key on your keyboard to send that message. Everyone on the server (with the exception of those in Calming Rooms or Spam Rooms) will be able to see your message.

Private Messages
You also have the option to send a private message in which only one player will be able to receive it.

To send a private message, press the T key on your keyboard and begin your message with /msg. Press the spacebar next and then enter the name of the person to which you wish to send a message. Again, press the spacebar and then enter your message.

Example: /msg AutismFather Hi! How are you today?

To reply to a private message, you can follow the instructions above, placing their name in as the name of the person to which you wish to send a message.

Alternatively, you can shorten the command by using the /reply or /r command. In this case, you no longer need to include the player's name as it simply replies to the last person that sent you a private message. Be aware that if a player sends you a message while you are typing the reply, your message will reply to the most recently sent message.

Example: /r I'm doing great! Thanks. How are you?

Mail
The server also has an in game mail system so that you can send messages to players even when they are not online.

• Sending 
  • To send mail, press the T key on your keyboard and enter the command /mail send followed by a space and then the player's username. Place another space and then the message that you wish to send.
  • Example: /mail send AutismFather I left something a gift for you at your house.
• Reading
  • When you first sign onto the server, it will give you a message in chat if you have any mail messages to read. It will also tell you how many there are.
  • To read your mail, press the T key on your keyboard and then type in the command /mail read.
  • If you have a lot of mail, it may be split into multiple pages. To read beyond page 1, simply add a number to the end of the command to indicate which page you would like to read.
  • Example: /mail read 2 (to read page 2)
• Clear
  • Once you have read your mail (and responded if necessary), it is wise to clear your mail so that you know when new mail comes in.
  • To clear your mail, press the T key on your keyboard and enter the command /mail clear

Description

This command will display a player's in-game balance. 

Other commands

These commands show the same information:

• /balance
• /bal
• /money

How to earn in-game currency

Balance can be earned by completing actions that match a player's jobs, and by completing daily job quests. Quests can be seen with /jobs quests

How to use in-game currency

In-game currency can be exchanged for emeralds at The Bank at /warp shops.

Description

This command will allow players to fly around most of the server. Having /fly enabled also prevents fall damage.

How to Use

To enable, type /fly. Then press the space bar twice. Holding space will raise the player, and holding shift will lower the player. 

Who Can Fly on Autcraft?

Players who first join the server will not be able to fly. This command is available to earn in a variety of ways. It is available for purchase as a command in the permissions section of the store. Fly for Life is available for 15 store credits (or $15 USD). /fly is also included with Diamond, Netherite, and Patreon ranks. 

Where Can I Fly?

All players can use /fly at spawn, regardless of rank or purchased permissions. In contrast, no one is able to fly in any minigames. Players also have access to /fly in the Creative Server, however please be aware that individual plots may be set to survival mode and the command will not work. 

Description

The /helpop command is available to all players. It sends a highly visible message to all online admins from a player in the event of an emergency. 

How to Use
Press T and type /helpop <your message here> then enter. For example:

/helpop A player is threatening me now by writing bad things on a sign!


When to Use
When an emergency is happening. Some example of emergencies are when you are being harassed (spammed teleport requests by one person, someone is at your unprotected home at that moment griefing it, a player won't leave your home after being asked, you are 'stuck' in one spot, or you are being threatened or made to feel uncomfortable in any way), or there is a threat to the server's stability.

When Not to Use
If you only want to talk or ask an Admin a question that isn't an emergency, or need anything usually done by submitting a modreq. This should not be used to chat with a vanished admin outside of an emergency.

    • &d light purple
    • &e yellow
    • &f white

Description

In order to keep your valuables safe, you have the option to lock your doors, chests, furnaces or any other containers using a Lockette sign.

How to use
To use, place a sign without crouching (do not shift) on the door, chest or other container to be locked. The sign will automatically lock to the user who placed it. Another option is to place a signpost on the floor directly besides, or on, a chest or other container to be locked. Enter [Private] as the first line. The player's own name will automatically be entered on line 2 as the chest owner.  Players can also type in the full names of two other users allowed to access the chest's inventory on lines 3 and 4.
Sometimes, a player might want to allow more users access than can fit on one sign. The owner of a container can add more users by placing additional signs beside the container with the heading [More Users] where lines 2-4 specify the names of the additional users. You can edit the users on previously placed signs by right clicking the sign and using the command /lockette <line number> <text> to change it.

Example: /lockette 3 username1

If you would like to allow everyone to access a container, you can add a line with [Everyone] to the sign. Keep in mind though, this means anyone can access the container!
Note: that this means that nobody can break the sign, even the person who placed the sign.

Doors
To protect a door, you can use the same method as protecting a container, the sign will attach to the door automatically. In addition, you can attach a [Private] wall sign to any side of the blocks just above or just below a door. For double doors only one side needs a sign.

Once a door is protected it will only open for someone listed as a user and will not respond to redstone power or switches unless [Everyone] is listed as a user. Iron doors which usually won't open from clicking will work just as wooden doors. In addition, double doors will open together automatically!

You can also use [More Users] signs as with containers, with the caveat that the sign cannot be placed on the block above the door if the [Private] sign is not above the door as well! (This is done to prevent a security uncertainty issue.)

Protected doors will be closed automatically if a timer is set. A timer can be set globally with a configuration option, or individually for each door by using the tag [Timer: #] on line 3 or 4 of the [Private] sign, where # is the number of seconds that the door should remain open. If the timer is set to 0, this means the door will never automatically close.

 

Description

Sometimes the admins are busy or there isn't an admin on when you need them. To take care of this, we've implemented a "support ticket" system called '''Modreq'''. “Modreq” is an abbreviation for moderator (admin) request (objective your require help with).

At any time, whether admins are online or not, you can create a ''modreq'' indicating to admins that you need them for something. 

Create a Modreq
Command: /modreq <your message here>

Example: /modreq please protect my home

It's important to remember that you must make your ''modreq'' in the place that you need the request done. For example, if you need a house protected, make the request in that house. Admins teleport directly to the location in which the ''modreq'' was created so it needs to be created where the work needs to be done.

View your Modreqs
Command: /status

This command will give you a list of all ''modreqs'' that you have created by their ID numbers.

View a Modreq
Command: /status <#>

By entering a specific ID number after the status command, you can view the details of that ''modreq'' including admin's actions and comments.
Note: You can only view the status of a ''modreq'' you submitted.

Comment on a Modreq
Command: /comment <#> <message>

Example: /comment 1234 write the comment here

In some cases, you may want to add more information to your modreq, or perhaps there wasn't enough room on the command line to include all of the information you wanted.

By entering the comment command followed by the ID number of the ''modreq'', you can then place an additional comment after, providing the admins with all of the information they need.
Note: You can only comment on a ''modreq'' you submitted.

Close a Modreq
Command: /done <#> <message>

Example: /done 1234 the problem has been fixed

Sometimes you might want to close a Modreq, such as if you created one by mistake or you no longer need help.

By using the done command followed by the ID number of the Modreq, you can close the Modreq immediately, even if Admin haven't replied yet.
Note: A Closed Modreq can't usually be re-opened later. If you need to re-open a Modreq, it may be easier to create a new one.

How Long Until a Modreq Is Completed
Admins do modreqs in the order they receive them and can take up to 1-2 days to complete. We thank you in advance for your patience. 

Have a Question About Your Modreq?
Please check the status of your modreq before asking an admin. 
 

Description

The /pronouns command allows player to have their personal pronoun displayed alongside their user name in chat.

All About Pronouns

A pronoun is a word used instead of a noun. Well then, what is a noun?

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. 

• Person: Steve, Alex
• Place: Spawn, Info Center
• Thing: sword, wood, diamond
• Idea: friendship, happiness, kindness

A pronoun is used in place of a noun.

• Steve is mining. He found lapis. 
• Alex went to the Info Center. She learned a lot.

What about pronouns on Autcraft? 

(Autcrafter)<He/Him> Steve: Hello, Friends!

Steve wants to be called “he” or “him” when we talk about him. 

(Autcrafter)<She/Her> Alex: Hi Steve!

Alex wants to be called “she” or “her” when we talked about her.

(Autcrafter)<They/Them> Wandering Trader: Hello! Would you like to buy this cactus?

Wandering Trader does not want to be called “he” or “she.” They would like to be called “They” or “Them.” You may also call them by their full name: Wandering Trader. 

Wandering Trader will be sad if you call them something they are not. Friends don’t make friends feel sad. Please call Wandering Trader by their name, or using the pronouns They/Them. 

What should I do if I don’t understand how to use my friend’s pronoun?

Just call them by their name. 

(Autcrafter)<He/Him> Steve: Hey Alex! Did you see what Wandering Trader was selling? You should check out Wandering Trader’s items!

What about pronouns I have never seen before? 

• Pronouns are listed in a consistent order. 
• he/him/his is the same order as xe/xem/xir

This is my friend Creeper Xe likes to sneak up on people. I like to watch xem blow up dirt. Xir explosions are loud!

Description

Helpers, Apprentice, SrHelpers, and Admins in-game can use the /seen command to view how long a player has been online or offline.

Note: The command is not caps sensitive, so writing the name of the person in lowercase letters will still work with the command.

Note: This command is only available to Helpers, SrHelpers, and Admins.

Command
 /seen PlayerExample1234

• Result 1: Player PlayerExample1234 has been offline since 2 days 6 hours 21 minutes.
• Result 2: Player PlayerExample1234 has been online since 2 hours 42 minutes 13 seconds.

Description

The spawn command is a command that is used to teleport back to spawn.

Command
When a player wants to return to spawn they type /spawn. If a player has used the /tpa, /home, or /warp commands in the past two minutes and attempts to use the /spawn command, it will not work unless they have a rank that bypasses teleport timer.



 

Description

Players can teleport around the server in various ways. You can teleport to someone, have someone teleport to you and you can teleport to locations using commands or warp buttons.

Teleport requests
Requesting to teleport to others and vise versa can be done with commands that start with ''/tpa''.

TPA
Command: /tpa <player>

Example: /tpa username1

You can send a teleport request to another player using the ''/tpa'' command. This will prompt that other player to either accept, deny or ignore your request.

TPAHere 
Command: /tpahere <player>

Example: /tpahere username1

If you wish to have a player come to you instead of going to them, you can use the ''/tpahere'' command. This will prompt that other player to either accept, deny or ignore your request.

TPAccept / TPYes
Command: /tpaccept or /tpyes

When you receive a request from another player to either allow them to teleport to you or to have you teleport to them, you can accept their request using the /tpaccept or the /tpyes command. This command accepts the last request made to you. So if one player sends you a request and another player sends you a request as well before you can accept, you will be accepting the second player's request, not the first.

TPDeny / TPNo
Command: /tpdeny or /tpno

When you receive a request from a player to either allow them to teleport to you or to have you teleport to them, you can deny their request using the /tpdeny or the /tpno command.

TPCancel
Command: /tpcancel

If you accidentally send a teleport request to the wrong person, you can cancel it by typing in ''/tpcancel''.

TPToggle
Command: /tptoggle

If you do not want people to teleport to you, you can use ''/tptoggle'' to make it so that when someone sends you a teleport request, it is automatically denied.  This command is only available to people with Patreon rank.

Spawn
Command: /spawn

You can teleport to Spawn by entering the ''/spawn'' command from anywhere on the server.

Timer
Shortly after Autcraft began, a teleport timer was added to discourage players from teleporting all around the server all of the time without actually exploring or traveling by any other means.

The constant use of teleportation proved to be very taxing on the server and generated a lot of lag.

Initially, the TP Timer was set at 5 minutes. This was removed completely for January 2014 as the initial world was closed and new worlds were created as a means to give players greater ease with which to move their belongings. When the timer was reinstated in February 2014, it was reduced in duration to 2 minutes where it remained until March 18th, 2020, when it was reduced to 30 seconds, where it stays today.


 

Description

Vanish is a command available to Admins, which allows them to be invisible on the server and not appear on the online player list. 

Conditions
Used when an admin needs to focus on work either on and/or off the server and is not available for chatting. The /vanish command is only accessible to the players with the rank of admin. No other ranks have access. 

Chatting to a Vanished Admin
Use /r <message> to reply to a vanished admin, if they private message you. 


What a Player Should Know and Do
We are not ignoring you. We may not be at our keyboard, we may be back and forth between the server and various other places on the internet, or talking to another player privately. Please do not ask us to private message you in public chat, if you know we are online. If you have an emergency, please use the /helpop command. If it is not an emergency, please modreq what you need. 



 

Description

A Protection is an area around your land that essentially locks the permissions to only you and other players of your choosing. Once protected, no other players will be able to place or break blocks within your protection.

Your protection will also include a custom greeting that appears in chat for any player that enters as well as a farewell message that appears in chat for any player leaving your area.

Requirements
Your build must be 30 blocks or more away from every other build around it. If there is something created by another player already existing within a 30 block distance to your requested build, then it can not be protected.

In order to have your area protected, you must have something build that is clearly visible to the admins. If your base is under ground, then you must mark out its furthest edges above ground.

If you need it protected before you have time to begin building, you must, at the very least, mark out the area using clearly visible materials, such as wool or coloured glass. If the admins can't find it, it won't be done.

Requesting Protection
To request that your build be protected, you must stand within the area to be protected and issue a modreq

30 Block Rule
As stated, you must be at least 30 blocks away from all other player's builds in order to be approved for protection.

However, players must realize that builds are protected with a 10 block buffer. This means that your base will be protected as well as 10 blocks out from your base in each direction. This means that if another player builds 30 blocks away and their base is also protected  with a 10 block buffer and both players expand up to the edge of their protection, it could look like both bases are actually only 10 blocks apart, not 30.

Adding Members
You can add other players, called region members, to your protection, enabling them access to build with you.

To list members of your region, type /rg info in the chat.

Additional Options
You may request, in your modreq to have your area protected, to include these additional options as features of your protection:

• Disable use of all buttons, levers, pressure plates, doors, enchantment tables, workbenches (it is not possible to enable/disable individual items, it's all or nothing)
• Disable chest access for all players not on the protection list (this overrides Lockette)
• Custom Greeting (specify in your modreq or the comments of your modreq what you would like the greeting to say)
• Custom Farewell (specify in your modreq or the comments of your modreq what you would like the farewell to say)
• Deny raid triggering due to Bad Omen for visitors 

Description

Region members are players you allow to build/place/break or otherwise move blocks and items in your protected region. 

Choosing Members
Members should be players you like, know well and trust. 

Member Limit
Each region may have one owner and up to 6 members. 

Add A Member
Stand in the region you own and want them to be a member of, then modreq for an admin to add the player to your region. You must provide the full and correct username of the player, at that time.

Remove A Member
Stand in the region you own where they are member and modreq for an admin to remove them from your region's member list.
Note: You must allow the member to remove their items first, before removing their membership. If this is proving difficult, please alert an admin and we will assist you.

Listing Members
To list members in your protection, type /rg info while in the protection
 

Description

Most players build and set homes for themselves somewhere on the server. Some players have multiple homes. There is a system which allows you to keep track of these and even get around from home to home easily.

Home
Command: /home <name>

Using the home command, you can instantly teleport to your home from any location on the server. Remember to give your homes a name though so that you can go from home to home if need be. Also, use descriptive names that are easy to spell so that you never forget which home is which.

Example: /home cave

SetHome
Command: /sethome <name>

Stand in the location that you want to return to each time, generally in the middle of your base or at your storage area or somewhere that you know you'll want to be each time, and enter the ''/sethome'' command to set the desired location of your home teleport.

Remember to give it a descriptive name that is easy to spell.

NOTE: Home names can not have spaces in them because it will only put the first word in.

Example: /sethome cave

DelHome
Command: /delhome <name>

Sometimes you may wish to abandon a home, if you are moving or if you run out of available homes that you can set. In this case, you can "unset" a home by entering the ''/delhome'' command.

Example: /delhome cave

When you join Autcraft, you are given a limit of 3 homes. That means that you can do the ''/sethome'' command, assigning 3 separate homes that you can teleport to at any time with the ''/home'' command.

 

Description

Griefing is the breaking and/or taking of any item or block placed by another player without the owner's permission; or the placing of items/blocks inside or on the builds of others without their permission. 

Examples include but are not limited to:

• Removing items from a chest you did not place without the owner's permission
• Removing items from an item frame without the owner's permission
• Breaking walls or beacons made by others without the builder's/owner's permission
• Placing signs on or in a build without the builder's/owner's permission
• Placing a lockette sign on a chest without the person who placed the chest's permission
• Placing  lava, water, a piston or lever in a position to do any of the above or make it so the area cannot be accessed by the owner 

If This Happens to You
Take a deep breath, then modreq where it happened, telling an admin what you believe is missing or damaged. We will check the history of the area and replace/repair what is needed. 

What To Do If You Grief Accidentally
Modreq, standing where it happened, if you cannot repair the damage yourself. 

Consequences of Griefing
If there was no modreq to repair an accidental griefing by you, items taken will be removed from your inventory and you will be mailed with a warning on the first griefing; jailed for 24 hours on the second. If griefing continues, admins will assess your history and discuss a longer jail time, possible temporary ban, or removal from the whitelist until your parents are contacted and respond. If you are an adult, you risk a longer jail time or removal from the whitelist, until we feel you understand the rules and will no longer grief. 

Exceptions
Region Members of your region cannot technically grief it. They are people you have asked to live with you, because you trust them. It is up to you to choose your members wisely, make sure they understand what you will and won't allow to be done in your region, and to modreq for their removal as a member from your region, if they do not respect your wishes. If items are missing or placed in your protected region, this normally means a member of your region has removed or placed an item. Please ask for the items to be returned or removed by your members before alerting an admin, in this situation.

Caught Being Awesome, known as CBA, is the term used to describe the act of catching players during random acts of kindness or friendship or sharing or any other positive way that makes a positive impact on others.

How to get a CBA
Players are generally just discovered by the watchful eye of those with the Admin, SrHelper, and Helper ranks.

Screenshots or logs are captured of the moment and recorded into a hidden forum where they can be reviewed and stored. 

Players who are Caught Being Awesome are awarded with .5 credits on the Autcraft store. 
 

Description

Players are encouraged to tell staff when they see someone being extra kind or helpful in game. 

When to Submit a TAO

• Know someone who has been very nice? Been friendly?
• Did someone do something good or helpful?
• We want to hear from you! 

If a player sees someone going the extra mile to be kind and helpful to others, they can let staff know by submitting a book at TAO. Located north of the world portals room, this area can also be reached with the command /warp tao 

How to Submit

Grab a free book from the dispenser. Write the message and sign the book with your player name. Drop it in the hopper. It's that easy!

Description

The Player of the Week, or POTW, is the player that stands out the most during the week from Saturday to following Saturday. It used to be Monday to Monday before the day was changed in January 2018.

Earning Player of the Week is actually tougher to do than earning a CBA due to its competitive nature. Often, many players stand out through the week but only one player can be chosen.

To be that one special player selected to be POTW, you must exhibit one or several of the following:

• Be Kind
• Be Helpful
• Show Personal Growth
• Be friendly

How POTW is Selected

The Admins and SrHelpers nominate players each Saturday that they feel are good candidates for POTW. Admins discuss all of the nominations, exchange notes in case anyone missed anything and then the Player of the Week is selected. Generally the POTW is announced on the server each Saturday at 4:00 PM Server time (16:00 displayed on the Tab menu, 4:00 PM Eastern Time)

From the first POTW until December 2017, POTW was always announced on a Monday, but in January 2018 announcements happened on Sundays to make it easier for Players to join the event. Starting on 2nd May 2020, the POTW announcement was moved to Saturdays.

The POTW will have with their player head and signs announcing their position inside the TARDIS. Players are also awarded 4 credits on the Autcraft Store.

Have you always wanted to know how to pose your armor stands in different ways to add some fun to your builds? Read on to learn all about the armor stand editor!

How to Use

First, you must craft an armor stand. The recipe calls for 6 sticks and 1 smooth stone slab. You can make smooth stone by smelting a piece of regular stone block.

After placing your armor stand, shift and right click or type /armorstand near to bring up the editor GUI. If you are positioning more than one armor stand, you can use /armorstand last to bring up your most recent one.

Each wool block controls a specific setting, as seen when hovering over the blocks.

• Visible - Controls visibility of the stand. Whatever the stand is wearing or holding will remain visible.
  • 
• Small - Toggle between two size options
  • 
• Gravity - Affects ability to raise and lower armor stands. When gravity is enabled and the block the stand is place on is broken, the stand will fall to the next block down.
  • 
• Visible Arms - Remove arms while the rest of the stand is visible
  • 
• Glowing - Adds a white "glow" outline that can be seen through all other blocks.
  • 
• Visible Name - Select this, and use a named nametag, to display text above any armor stand. Alternatively, place the armour stand on an anvil to rename before positioning.
  • 
• Plate - Toggles visibility of the stone plate at the base of the stand
  • 

Compass

Open Position Options


From left to right, each row controls the head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, and position. Position refers to the full armor stand, while the other options control individual parts. 

The brown wool blocks control the X axis. Blue controls the Y axis, and purple controls Z. While Y is always up and down, the X and Z are relative to your coordinates. This means one direction will not always be to the "left." You will need to experiment to see which direction to move your armorstand.

Left clicking increases the value, while right clicking decreases. Holding shift while clicking will move increase/decrease at a quicker rate.

Using these various options will allow you to pose your armor stand any way you wish.

Paper
Open Clone Picker

Each wool block corresponds to a setting you chose while editing your armor stand. On this screen, you can choose which things you want to copy to a new armor stand. After choosing which options to keep, you will be instructed to right click a new armor stand, or to punch a block (left click) to cancel.

When your armor stand has been successfully copied, you will receive this message in the chat:

Now you have made an identical copy of your display

Beacons are used to apply a variety of effects to an area, which is determined by the size of the beacon pyramid.

How to Craft a Beacon

Beacons are crafted with 5 clear glass, 3 blocks of obsidian, and one nether star.

About Beacon Pyramids

The size of the pyramid will determine which effects you are able to choose, as well as the the range of the effects (how many blocks away from the beacon they will work). The level of a beacon refers to how many layers. How to construct each level will be shown after this section. Pyramid levels 1-3 can choose one effect. Level 5 can choose a secondary effect.

• Level 1 Pyramid
  • Requires 9 blocks
  • A single 3x3 block area
  • Speed I, Haste I
  • 20 block effect range, 11 second duration (once you leave the area)
• Level 2 Pyramid
  • Requires 34 blocks
  • 5x5 bottom layer, 3x3 top layer.
  • Speed I, Haste I, Resistance I, Jump Boost I
  • 40 block effect range, 13 second duration (once you leave the area)
• Level 3 Pyramid
  • Requires 83 blocks (1 stack + 19 blocks)
  • 7x7 bottom layer, 5x5 center layer, 3x3 top layer. 
  • Speed I, Haste I, Resistance I, Jump Boost I, Strength I
  • 40 block effect range, 15 second effect duration (once you leave the area)
• Level 4 Pyramid
  • Requires 164 blocks (2 stacks + 36 blocks
  • 9x9 bottom layer, 7x7, then 5x5, and 3x3 layers
  • Speed I, Haste I, Resistance I, Jump Boost I, Strength I
  • A Secondary effect may be chosen, either Speed II, Haste II, Resistance II, Jump Boost II, Strength II, or Regeneration
  • 50 block effect range, 17 second effect duration (one you leave the area)

A fully maxed beacon pyramid with all effects will require 6 beacons, 5 at level II effects, with the 6th set to Regeneration.

How to Build the Pyramids

Pyramids can be built from any combination of iron, gold, emerald, diamond, or netherite blocks. They must be completely solid. The beacon is placed at the top of the pyramid on the center block.

Selecting the Effects

Right click the beacon to bring up the menu. The beacon must be "fed" a netherite ingot, emerald, diamond, gold ingot, or iron ingot in order to apply the effect. Level 4 beacons will require a second "feed" to apply the secondary effect.

Building a Multi-Beacon Pyramid

Beacons must be surrounding by blocks on all sides on the top layer. This is best seen with a level 1 beacon

When adding a second beacon, more blocks must be added to maintain this requirement.

A third beacon can be added the same way.

When adding 4 or more beacons, they can either continue in a line, or can make squares and rectangles. 

The rest of the pyramid will need to be adjusted to continue the solid structure. Here is a level 4 pyramid with 2 beacons.

There is no fancy math involved in doing this. Simply decide how many beacons you need to use. Place them on top of a 4 block tower. Build out and fill in the beacon making sure each later expands by one block, from top to bottom. 

A fully maxed out level 4 beacon with all 6 buffs will require 244 mineral blocks.

Players can have a variety of skins in the game. This page will explain where to find them, how to make the change, and review what is an is not appropriate for Autcraft.

Where to Find Minecraft Skins

There are a variety of websites that can be used to find the perfect skin. For these directions, we will look at The Skindex. Use the search bar to look for something specific, or browse the various options. Let's use this cute fox skin as our example:

We have decided to change to this skin. The first step is to download the image using the Download button on the right side of the page. Please remember where you save the file to so you are able to find it again. Creating a folder for minecraft skins on your desktop is an easy way to do this.

Changing the Skin

For this next step, there are two options. For the first, we need to visit the Minecraft website. Log in with the link in the upper right corner of the page. The next page will show your Minecraft games. Make sure to do this in the Java Edition section.

Select "Change Skin." 

The model you choose will determine the size of the skin. When in doubt, choose Classic. If you discover black lines on the back of your skin that shouldn't be there, you may need to upload your skin again and use the Slim model.

Now it's time to upload the image file you downloaded. Click the button that says "Select File" and then search your computer for the location you saved the file to. After it has been selected, click Open. The skin will appear on the screen when finished. At this point you can leave the Minecraft website.

Open the Minecraft launcher. At the top of the window will be a few tabs. Select "Skin."

This page will display all skins you have used. Your new skin will appear on the page. Hover over the thumbnail for options, which will allow you to use the skin of your choice, or apply a special name to the skin.

A second option is to add a new skin directly through the launcher Visit the Skins tab, then choose either the wide (classic) or slim model and click the browse button. At this point you will need to navigate to the location where the skin image file was saved. Select the file to upload it. 

Enjoy your new skin!

Introduction

A "drop key" is the key on your keyboard when tells the game to drop the item you are holding. Whatever items you are currently holding when the key is pressed, will be tossed to the ground. Accidentally hitting this key while playing is the most common cause of lost items.

Key Bindings
Key bindings are a setting in computer programs that cause a specific action to happen when pressed. A great example of this is in word processing programs. Copy and page can be quickly done with CTRL + C and CTRL + V (⌘ +V/C or CMD + V/C on a Mac. Keyboard shortcuts are a type of key binding. 

When to Change
In general, it is good to stick with the default key bindings. It makes it much easier to get help when wanting to know how to do a specific action, or answering other people's questions. Another consideration is that most key binds are standard for gaming. Small differences do exist, such as a sprint key, or opening inventory. It may make sense to change your bindings to be consistent between the games you play.

It is also worth changing your key bind if you repeatedly hit the key on accident, negatively affecting your game play. The default drop key (Q) is a great example of this. The most common cause of lost items on Autcraft is from players accidentally bumping Q while using the movements keys (WASD). The best way to avoid this happening, is to change the drop key. 

Deciding on a New Key
The first step is to go to the key bindings page in your game settings. You can get there with Escape > Options > Controls > Key Binds... 

This page is where you can change any of your bindings, or completely remove them. At the bottom of the above image, you will notice that Q is set for "Drop Selected Item." This is the key we are changing. 

Clicking on the button that says Q will change it to say > Q <. At this time, you can select another key. Any key on your keyboard can be bound to an action. 

Let's start by changing our drop key to the space bar:

The red marks that have appeared let us know that there is a conflict with this selection. One key is assigned to two actions. In this example, space bar is assigned to "Jump" and "Drop Selected Item." This means any time you press the space bar, both of those things will happen. It is important to choose a key that is not already assigned to something. The keys that are available will depend on what other mods you may have installed. 

To prevent accidentally hitting the drop key, consider choosing a key that is not next to your directional keys, or other keys you frequently use during the game. In this example we are using Backspace/Delete. 

To leave this screen, either press "Done" or hit escape to return to your game.

I Messed Up! How Do I Fix It?
The easiest fix it to select the "Reset Keys" button at the bottom of the Key Binds page. This will return all bindings to the default setting. 

All My Keys Are Assigned! How Do I Find One!
Find a key bind that you aren't using. Perhaps one assigned to a mod or a feature that you don't use. Click the button with the current binding and then click escape/esc. This will unbind the key. 

Description

Conduits allow players to stay under water indefinitely without the use of potions or an Ocean Prince boss head. 

From the Minecraft Fandom Wiki page:
"This effect restores oxygen, gives underwater night vision, and increases mining speed by 16/7%. Conduits also damage any hostile mobs, like drowned, guardians, and elder guardians, within a range of 8 blocks of the conduit. Conduits can be activated in any biome and at any height or depth."

How to Build

The activation frame of the conduit must be built out of prismarine block, prismarine bricks, or dark prismarine block.

The frame is built as follows:

Begin with a cross shape, 5 blocks by 5 blocks. This image is looking straight down from above.

Next, stack four blocks on each end, for a total height of 5 blocks. Repeat the same cross pattern on top.

Add a square going around the center of the frame.

In the bottom center of the frame, place another block, with the conduit block on top. (See below how to craft the actual conduit block)

Remove the block that was just placed so the conduit is "floating" in the center of the frame. This will activate the conduit.

If the activation was successful, there will be an effect icon on your screen.

How to Craft a Conduit Block

A conduit is made by placing 8 nautilus shells around a heart of the sea.

Autcraft features many unique items, including some that you can craft yourself! Read on to learn how to make some special recipes.

Leap Frog's Head

Combining one of each Shiny Frog (temperate, verdant, and pearlescent) on the crafting table will result in a Leap Frog's Head. Wearing this head will give you Jump Boost VI.

Wither Miner

Crafting together one of each Shiny Wither variant will create a Wither Miner pickaxe. This amazing tool features Efficiency VIII, in addition to Mending, and Unbreaking III. The attached lore states "Powered By The Souls of the Forgotten." When combined with a haste II beacon, this pickaxe can insta-mine deepslate!

Dragon Egg

Dragon Eggs are a much sought after item on Autcraft, considering there is only one available each month. Normally, an egg only goes to the first player to kill the Ender Dragon after the resource worlds reset. Now, anyone can craft their own special egg by combining nine Ender Dragon heads! 

Description

Making your first post on the forum can be a confusing experience. Read on to learn how to start a new topic and add images to your posts. Please remember that all images must follow Autcraft rules.

Getting to the Forum

There is a purple navigation bar at the top of our website. The link to the forum is next to the Home button. Click this link.

You should now be in the forum section of our website. There are several categories here for posting. If you aren't sure where your post fits in, just ask! Here is the first section of the forum, however there are many more areas.

Posting on the Forum

For this example, we will be posting a screenshot to share with friends. These types of posts belong in the Personal section of the forum.

We have a subtopic for Pictures and Screenshots, so that is where we will go to make our post. Once we are in that section, click "New Topic" which is next to the search box. 

Clicking "New Topic" will bring up the text editing window, where we will make our new post.

If our post does not include any images, we can write our message in the text box and click submit. We are going to post a screenshot, so we first need to open the menu for extra options. Click on the three dots.

This will open the options window for our post.

Our options include things to change the appearance of the text, like bold, italic, underline. We can change the text color, font size, and add emojis to our post. We are going to add a picture, so we need to click the icon that looks like an image.

This will bring up a window for us to add our picture. Click the text that says "Upload."

You have two options for adding your picture. You can click "Browse for an Image" and search your computer folders to find the picture. For Minecraft screenshots, they will be found in the Screenshots section of your Minecraft folder. If you need help finding your folder, ask in chat!

The second option is to drag and drop the file directly into the white box. If your picture is saved to your desktop, this is the easiest option.

Once your image has been added, you will automatically be returned to the General section so you can edit the image size. If you aren't sure how big you want it, just click Save. The size can be edited later as well.

Click Save and see how your picture looks in the post.

Oh wow! Our picture is very big. We will need to make it smaller. There are two ways to do this. One is to click and drag the blue squares in the corners of the image. You can use these to make the picture bigger or smaller right in your text box. If you have a specific size you want to make the picture, just click the image, and then go back to the image uploader. It will show you the size for the selected picture and we can edit it.

We have adjusted the width of our image to 400 pixels wide. For reference, most of the images in this wiki page are also set to 400 pixels wide.

There we go! Our picture fits much better now. All we need to do is add some text and a title. The Topic Title is located above the text box. When you are finished, click submit and check our your very own forum post!

Installing resource packs is quite simple once you know where to put the files. read on to find out more.

Choosing A Pack

The first step is to download your desired resource pack. Autcraft allows any pack that does not provide an unfair advantage. The best example of an unfair advantage would be any packs using X-ray. Texture packs that change how blocks look, or resource packs that change music and paintings are fine. 

These packs can be found in many places, such as Planet Minecraft or CurseForge. It is up to you to determine the safety of the website you are downloading from. If you aren't sure, please ask an adult or a trusted friend. After downloading your chosen pack, do not unzip the file.

Where To Place the Pack

Whether you are on a Mac or a PC, your game was installed with a special folder for resource packs. If you do now know where this folder is, the easiest way to locate it is through the game itself. 

• While in game, click escape, options, resource packs.
• On the resource packs page, click the bottom button that says "Open Pack Folder"
• This is where you will place your resource pack files. You will not need to restart the game once new files are added. 

Using Your New Pack

Back in the resource pack page in the Minecraft options menu, you will see there are two columns. The "Available" column shows any resource packs you have that are not currently being used. This is where your newly added packs will be. The "Selected" column lists resource packs that are currently in your game. To move a pack, simply hover over the icon and click the large right or left arrow. All packs in the right column will be active in your game. 

Some packs may have an alert saying it was made for a different version of Minecraft. This does not mean the pack will not work. While sometimes this may be the case, most often the resource pack will work just fine. 

Common Questions

• I have installed my resource pack but it's not working
  • There are two possibilities for this. One is that the pack truly is not compatible with the version of Minecraft that you are using. The second is that a different pack is overriding the settings. When hovering over the pack icon in the "Selected" column, there are small up and down arrows. Selecting one of these will change the order of the listed packs. The higher the pack is in the list, the higher the priority it will be given. It may take some time to figure out which order works best for your combination of resource packs. The fewer packs you use, the less likely this will be an issue.

Description

We have an Autcraft-exclusive plugin that makes creating and removing item displays easy for everyone!

What is an Item Display?

An item display is a form of entity display, which was a new feature with Minecraft 1.19.4. These displays are created with some code that is stored on the server and sent to your client so it shows you an image of something that isn't actually there! Item displays generate zero lag. This allows us to place items all over the server without the use of item frames and armor stands, which greatly reduces overall lag on the server.

To learn more about lag, please see https://www.autcraft.com/wiki/lag/

How to Place an Item Display

The main command to type is /itemdisplay
Once this is typed, all you need to do is tab through the remaining options and hit enter!
The command works by selecting to create, choosing the item, and then using either the default size (item frame size) or actual block size (large). 

For example, a full size birch log display would be entered as:
/itemdisplay create birch_log large

While a birch log sized to replace an item frame would be typed:
/itemdisplay create birch_log

Here are those two displays for size comparison:

Using the default size displays to replace item frames in a storage room could look like this:

These item displays will rotate to always face the viewer. To create a display that will show in one fixed direction without moving, use this command:

/itemdisplay create item_name fixed

Replace "item_name" with the name of the item you wish to display. Such as birch_log in the previous example. This display will set to the direction you are currently looking when the command is entered.

A trick for centering these displays is to /sit on a block to center yourself, then use the shift key to stand. You can also adjust the height of displays by placing and standing on layers of snow.



The list of items to choose from comes directly from the Minecraft database, and all items are listed in their data form. To find out what an item is called, make sure you have Advanced Tool Tips enabled (F3+H) and hover over the item in your inventory or in the crafting menu. As you start to type the item, the plugin will automatically filter the options and then you can tab through, much like when sending a message to a player in chat. 

How to Remove an Item Display

Since the item displays don't actually exist on the server and we can walk right through them, how do we remove them? With the shift key! Simply pressing shift while right-clicking the display will remove it from view. This is accomplished through the use of hit boxes. If you struggle to remove the item, enable hit boxes with F3+B and click somewhere inside the box. Using hitboxes will also show you where to click on chests if you have used item displays as storage labels. When using the default (small) size item displays, this hit box should be no larger than an item frame. This means we can still open chests as always, as long as we click on the edges of the chest to avoid the hitbox. 

Limitations and Guidelines

Item displays can only be placed within protections that you are a member of. This means that you are either the protection owner, or the owner has added you to the protection. You are not able to place outside of your protection, including unprotected areas in the build and resource worlds.

Each player is currently limited to 500 item displays. This is a brand new plugin and we are still testing to make sure there are no issues and this doesn't negatively affect the server. Assuming we don't run into any problems, this limit may be raised in the future. 

Players are only able to remove item displays that they placed. You cannot remove a display from your protection that another player placed. Please ask them personally if they can remove it. If you run into any issues, speak with a staff member or submit a /modreq. 

All item displays must follow Autcraft rules for safety and appropriateness. If staff determine that an item display or combination of items does not meet these guidelines, your display may be removed. 

Description

In our /warp jobs room, you can sign up for up to three jobs that allow you to earn in game currency ($), job experience (exp) and jobs points (points) while playing the game. For more information on which jobs are available, please go to Wiki - Locations - Jobs Room. 

In Game Currency 

Performing job actions earns in-game currency. The amount of money earned can be seen with the commands /bal, /balance and /money. This money can be exchanged for emeralds at The Bank at /warp shops.

Jobs Points

To see how many jobs points you have created, you can do /jobs points. On Autcraft, 10,000 jobs points equals 1 credit. You can convert your points into credits by using the command /jobs shop. You can use credits to buy things on the Autcraft website store, such as spawn eggs, ranks, decorative heads and much more.

Jobs Experience

The more you do your jobs, the more experience (exp or xp) you get. This helps you move up jobs levels and get new job titles, which allows you to earn more money and jobs points each time. These are the same job titles that Villagers move through as they trade.

The job titles are as follows:

- Novice (from level 0)

- Apprentice (from level 25)

- Initiate (from level 50)

- Journeyman (from level 75)

- Adept (from level 100)

- Master (from level 125)

- Grandmaster (from level 150)

- Legendary (from level 175)

You will get a message similar to 'You are now A Miner' or 'You are now J Fisherman' when you reach the level. 

Quests

Each job you join offers quests which allow you to earn more money ($), jobs points or in some cases, whole credits. 

When you type /jobs quests, a box will appear in your chat box listing the available quests for your jobs. When you hover over the title of the quest, it will give you the information on what you need to do and what your reward will be for completing it.

Once you have completed your quest, you will get an automated message to let you know that the points or money have been added to your account.

Player Shops

Description

Players on Autcraft can make shops to sell items at any price.

Shop Creation

To begin setting up a shop, place a container near the location of the shop. The container must be recently placed. If there is already a container, it must be broken and placed again. Containers include chests, shulkers, and barrels. For the remainder of this article, containers will be referred to as "chests."

While holding a stick, right click the desired chest. The stick will now be used for shop type and appearance selection.

Shift and right click the stick in the air (so no block is selected) to select shop appearance. Options are:

• Villager
  • The most common shop on Autcraft. Players interact with a villager to purchase items.
• Wandering Trader
  • Players interact with a wandering trader to purchase items.
• Sign
  • Players interact with a sign to purchase items. 

All shop appearance options function the same way. There is no benefit for having one over the other, other than for cosmetic reasons. 

Next, right click the stick into the air without crouching (no shift). This will cycle through the shop types:

• Selling Shop
  • Sells items to player for emeralds.
• Buying Shop
  • Buys items from players for emeralds.
• Trading Shop
  • Trades items with players. This is how players can sell items for diamonds or other currency.
• Book Shop
  • Sells copies of player created books.

Now you will choose how you want the shop to look. Shift and then right click the stick into the air once more. The options are:

• Villager
  • You can change the villagers job outfit and color.
• Wandering-Trader
  • The trader only has the default appearance.
• Witch
  • Only use in hard world. If you select a witch shop in peaceful, your shop will be automatically removed.
• Sign
  • A simple sign with all the same options as a mob shop.

After selecting both the shop type and appearance, use the stick to click the location where the shop should be placed. All shop types can be placed on the ground. Signs shops may be used anywhere a sign can be placed.

Shop Set Up

Place the items to be sold into the shop chest. For this example, there are End Crystals and Nether Stars:

Shift right click the shopkeeper or sign to enter the Shopkeeper Editor:

• First row
  • Items for sale.
• Second and third row
  • Null symbols ∅
    • Price selection (more information below).
• Fourth row
  • Paper
    • Hover over the paper to see the shop type and instructions for how to set the price.
  • Book
    • Displays the current page. Shops that sell many items may have multiple pages for price setting.
  • Book (2)
    • Click to move to the next page. A book will appear on the left side of the screen to go back a page.
• Fifth row
  • Name tag
    • Set the name of the shop. Follow the directions on screen.
  • Chest
    • Opens the chest associated with the shopkeeper.
  • Bell
    • Toggles trade notifications. A text and sound alert will be sent to you in-game when items are purchased.
  • (Villager shop appearance only)
    • Egg
      • Toggles the baby variant. This is a visual change only, and can still be traded with.
    • Null symbol ∅
      • Changes the villager profession. This changes the outfit displayed on the villager.
    • Leather tunic
      • Choose villager biome variant. This changes the colour and style of the outfit displayed on the villager.
    • Cobblestone
      • Changes the villager badge color. Options are cobblestone, iron, gold, emerald, and diamond.
  • (Sign shop appearance only)
    • Sign
      • Changes the wood variant of the sign.
    • Ink sac
      • Does nothing, though is meant to toggle the glowing text on the sign.
  • Bone
    • Delete shop. This action is permanent. Choose Yes or No on the confirmation screen to continue.

Setting Prices

In a selling shop, all items are sold for emeralds. The top row of the editor displays the items for sale. The second row is for setting an emerald block price, and third row is for individual emeralds. The maximum number for both is 64. If the price totals 20 emeralds or less, the price will be set in emeralds only (no blocks). If the price totals more than 20 emeralds, the price will be set as as many emerald blocks as possible, and emeralds for the remainder. Left click the null symbol ∅ to increase the price by one emerald or block. Shift and left click to increase by 10. Right click and shift right click will lower the number. To stop selling the item, reduce the cost to zero and remove the item from the shop chest.

In this example, the End Crystals are set to 10 emeralds and the Nether Stars are set to 5 emeralds. This is how they are displayed to players using the shop to buy items:

Setting Up a Buying Shop

This shop works the same as a selling shop, however the shopkeeper will give emeralds (not blocks, so a maximum of 64 emeralds) to players in exchange for the desired items. Place one of each item to buy in the chest, as well as emeralds to give players in exchange.

Left click the red null symbol ∅ to set the number of emeralds players will be given in exchange for the desired item. In this example, shoppers will give an End Crystal in exchange for 64 emeralds. The shop screen displays like this:

Setting Up a Trading Shop

This shop allows players to sell or buy things for more emeralds than the selling or buying shops allow, or for a currency other than emeralds. For example, a common currency on Autcraft is diamonds. Place one of the item to be sold in either the top row of the shopkeeper or in the chest, and the item(s) to be traded (such as diamonds) in the 2nd and 3rd rows of the shopkeeper. In this example, End Crystals will be sold for Nether Stars. Left or right click to set the quantity for each.

Setting Up a Book Shop

Place the signed book (or books) into the chest along with blank book and quills. 

In the Shopkeeper Editor, the books will appear in the top row. Use the second and third rows to set the price with emeralds or emerald blocks. This process works identical to a trading shop.

When books are purchased, the blank book and quill will turn into a copy of the selected book. 

Description

Beacons can be used for more than their special effects. They are also excellent sources of light and can be used to display colors and patterns. If you are not familiar with activating beacons, first visit our page on Beacons. 

How to Change Colors

The color of a beacon beam can be changed by placing either block or pane of glass above it. Shift + left click to place the block. 

Multiple colors of glass can be placed in different orders in order to change the colors and create a gradient effect.

Glass can even be used to create images in the sky, such as this display in the Village of Boos.

What will you create with your beacons?

Sign Codes

Description

Special codes can be used to change the appearance of signs

About Signs

Signs can be crafted using any wood type. Six matching planks and one stick will craft 3 signs. Each sign can display four lines of text. Each line has a width limit, however due to varying character length, there is no set number of characters that can be used on each line. For example, "O" is wider than "I." 

Sign Uses

Signs can be used in many ways. They can label the contents of containers, display ownership of items or builds, or be used with the /lockette command. 

Changing Sign Appearance

Players can easily change the color of sign text by tapping the sign while holding dye. Another way to change appearance is by using special codes. There are a variety of codes that can be added to signs to change their appearance. These codes affect the color and formatting of the text. The color code must come before the format code. 

Color Codes

• &0 - Black
• &1 - Dark Blue
• &2 - Dark Green
• &3 - Dark Aqua
• &4 - Dark Red
• &5 - Dark Purple
• &6 - Gold
• &7 - Gray
• &8 - Dark Gray
• &9 - Blue
• &a - Green
• &b - Aqua
• &c - Red
• &d - Light Purple
• &e - Yellow
• &f - White

Format Codes

• &l Bold
• &m Strike
• &n Underline
• &o Italic
• &r Reset (removes formatting)

How to Use Sign Codes

As a reminder, color codes must come before format codes. There does not need to be a space between the code and the text. Here are some examples:

Hello!

You can use a different color for each line of text!

Or each letter!

We can make words BOLD or italic

We can also change the glow color

Tap the sign with glow ink. A white glowing outline will appear.

Then tap the sign with dye. The color formatting will remain, but the glowing outline will now appear in the selected color.

Description

Smithing templates are an exciting new feature in 1.20 that allow players to customize their armor with designs and colors. These templates are also required for upgrading diamond armor to netherite. Read on to learn more.

Smithing Templates

A basic smithing template is required in order to upgrade diamond armor to netherite, or to add armor trim designs to existing armor. Each design is created from a specific smithing template. There are 17 smithing templates, 16 with designs, and they can be found in various areas around Minecraft. The locations of each template are listed below with the images of the designs.

Making Copies

With Smithing Templates being somewhat difficult to locate, be sure to take advantage of the copying feature. Templates can be copied by placing the original template, 7 diamonds, and a specific block onto the crafting table. The resulting items will be the original template plus a new copy. The specific block needed depends on the template you are trying to copy. In the examples below, Rib requires a block of netherrack, while Tide requires prismarine.

Available Templates

To see these designs in person, visit the Armor Trim Room at /spawn, which is near /warp jobs.

Description

Trail ruins are a new structure added in 1.20. These are part of the new archaeology gameplay, and require careful excavation to uncover the buried structure as well as retrieve the hidden treasures within.

About Trail Ruins

The above image shows a fully excavated trail ruin. They are randomly generated and each one will be different in size and shape, however they all share similar characteristics. They appear to be an ancient terracotta village, sometimes including the paths taken between buildings, as well as workbenches that past villagers may have used.

Locating a Trail Ruin

Ruins can be found in taiga, snowy taiga, old growth taiga, old growth birch forest, and jungle biomes. They are quite difficult to locate, with only the very top peaking through the surface of the biome, as seen below:

That single red terracotta block was the only visible sign of this trail ruin, which was found in a jungle biome. Carefully breaking the blocks around it will begin to reveal the full structure.

Excavating the Ruin

While mining out the ruin, keep a close watch for suspicious gravel. Use your brush to carefully sweep the gravel away and find the ancient artifacts inside. In this particular ruin, we found these items:

This is just an example of the types of items that can be found, as each ruin is randomly generated. Many workbenches can also be found in this ruins. This particular site contained a furnace, blast furnace, smithing table, and crafting table. Other ruins have held looms, grindstones, and cartography tables. You never know what you're going to find!

Description

AutCon is an annual event based loosely around the famous MineCon. As children with Autism often struggle with social settings, Autcraft allows them to generate friendships, bonds and be social without being in person. Autcon helps them one step further by having them meet ''in person'', whilst being entertained by games and activities, and work on those in-person social skills.

AutCon 2015
In 2015 the first AutCon was held in Brisbane, Australia.  However small it was, AutCon was a success. Games were played, new friendships forged, barbecue lunch was provided and the members each left with a 'goodie' bag full of things to take home.
 
AutConUK 2016
In 2016, The Second AutCon was held for the first time in Liverpool, England and was organized by SparkleTwinnie & TheHemikoWay, With help from TheDonster & DaisyBoo.

AutconUS 2017
In 2017, Autcon was held in three locations, two of which were in the United States. Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Georgia hosted these events. 

AutconUK 2017
Also held in Liverpool AutconUK was organised by SparkleTwinnie and the AutconUK team, the event was held in the Harrington Center, Formby on Saturday 12th August. 


AutconUK 2018
Also held in Liverpool AutconUK was organised by SparkleTwinnie and the AutconUK team, also the first Autcon with special guests AutismFather & WizardKeen! the event was held in the Harrington Center, Formby on Saturday 1st September. 

AutconUK 2019
Also held in Liverpool, AutconUK was organised by SparkleTwinnie and the AutconUK team. AutismFather couldn't make it to this one so he video called instead.

AutCon 2020
Autcon was not possible to arrange because of the pandemic and following lockdowns.
Instead, it was arranged online on Autcraft. Over 100 players visited, and AutismFather livestreamed the whole event. The staff built a specific arena with lots of booths with minigames and contests.

AutCon 2021
This event was also held online due to the pandemic, with brand new arena built for the occasion.

AutCon 2022
The 2022 event was again held online. The staff created builds around the theme Big Gaming. Mazes, games, and elytra jumps were created within larger-than-life versions of Minecraft mobs and blocks.  

AutCon 2023
With the great success of the 2022 area, it was decided that we would continue to build upon the existing area to add more mazes and games. Special treasure hunts were held throughout the day. 

Autism Awareness Day

Description

After starting Autcraft, it became painfully obvious that the bullying problem facing all people, but especially Minecraft players that have autism, was far more severe than anyone ever realized. It is estimated that in the first two years of the server being around, [[AutismFather|AutismFather]] (The owner of Autcraft) was speaking to an average of 2 [[Players|players]] per week that were feeling so depressed that they had considered suicide and that was primarily due to bullying. It was this overwhelming build up of emotions that prompted the writing of the Plea to the Minecraft Community.

2014
The first annual Plea to the Minecraft Community came prior to April 2nd where it was requested that all players within the Minecraft community stand up to bullying. Many players responded positively.

Some players created videos, they can be seen below:

• IMPORTANT! Autism Awareness Day, April 2nd
• Autism Awareness/Bullying
• World Autism Awareness Day (April 2nd)
• Minecraft Bullies
• TDOR Vlog || Take a stand against bullying
• Timeshot SMP Ep. 11 || Bullying
• BULLYING | Minecraft Hunger Games - Game 140
• Minecraft Survival Games- Bullying- Game 9
• Autism Awareness (My Message to the World: Part 2)

2015
The second annual Plea to the Minecraft Community consisted of a live stream in which several famous YouTuber Minecraft players not only hosted and participated in the stream, they also visitors!

Videos of the live stream (not playable in all countries) can be seen below:

• Part 1
• Part 2

Description

The Darkness is an amazing custom mob battle created by AutismFather that can only be found on Autcraft. There have been three versions, with the most current being The Darkness 3.0.
 

What is The Darkness
The Darkness is an automated Wither fight centered around a Minecraft fox and over 300 command blocks. The fox randomly runs around the arena while the command blocks set off a chain of events such as spawning custom mobs and mob bosses around itself, making spooky sounds, changing the arena walls, floor and roof, creating particles and potion effects on the players, and more. When all of the bosses are defeated, The Darkness (the fox) collapses until it returns again.

Balloons
After all bosses have been defeated, "balloons" are unleashed throughout the Wither Arena. The floating balloons consist of jeb_panda and jeb_sheep stacks on invisible bats, glow squids on invisible bats, parrots, cats, and both regular and screaming goats. This bright and colorful display symbolizes the defeat of The Darkness, and provides a great way for players to collect mob heads. 

The Darkness 3.0

Our newest version of The Darkness has been completely reimagined, using the same familiar bosses (plus two new additions), placed into an ever-evolving world of changing floors, structures, and effects. This completely automated fight is also randomized, meaning no one, not even the admins, will know which boss is coming next, and the structures are in different locations each time. Every fight is a completely unique experience! Keeping in mind that the order is different every time, here is what you can expect during each boss segment:

• The Darkness 3.0
  • A snow fox, that wanders around the arena, spawning mobs wherever it is located at the time. Follow the fox to find the action!
  • Floor changes to deepslate bricks
• Wither
  • The arena goes dark
  • The wither boss falls from the sky as a baby wither, which grows in size over time. When it reaches full size, the attach begins.

Valentine's day is a day dedicated to spreading love and kindness to others, Autcraft has hosted Valentine's day events in the past, The most recent being the Love and Kindness day, 2022. 

Autcraft's Valentines Day Hosted Events
Autcraft has hosted Valentine's Day dating back to 2020

2020
The Valentine's day event of 2020 was the Celebration of Love and Kindness 2020. This had parkour, a heart-shaped glass island at Spawn, a dance floor island, a maze, and the Admins gave out valentines.
2021
The event of 2021's Valentine's Day was similar to 2020s with a maze, a dance island, parkour, and an island made out of red glass. The admins also left valentines for others to collect and a unique map art with a photo map art wall. Unlike last year, this event also unveiled a brand new Wither Fight arena with hearts, chocolate, custom trees, a Ferris wheel, and more.
2022
This year's event featured similar events to the previous years. The glass at Spawn 5 was changed to pink and white, and a DJ booth was placed up in the sky near an interactive dance floor in the shape of a heart.  A heart-shaped maze, staff dunking booth, and photo backdrop filled out the remainder of the decorations. This year also featured a specially created resource pack which changed the in-game discs to play music all about friendship, and changed the game paintings as well! Each player received a special map art and a decorative head to remember the event. 


 

Description

Wither Fights are an event that Autcraft Admins hosts on the server from time to time. You never know when one may happen.

Wither Fights grew over time to include Giants (huge zombies) and expanded even further to include just about every mob there is in the game, including bizarre combinations of mobs such as witches riding bats and evokers riding sheep.

Introduction
Wither Fights first started taking place on the server back on August 17th, 2013. These fights took place in a secluded location within the world where no damage would be done to surrounding builds. The area was then regenerated using WorldEdit to be used once again at another time. Players had so much fun that it became a regular, yet unscheduled event on the server.

Time
Wither Fights happen a few times per day, often one did after POTW (After 4 pm EST), and some are hosted throughout the day for different time zones. 

Wither World
This world is the host of all wither fights with each wither arena to be summoned into the straight-ahead arena. Players gather, collect food, and prepare for the wither fight about to happen with bows and arrows and chicken.

Currently, there is the main arena where all arenas are hosted and three side arenas where the Dry Glutch is Located (A wither Arena), and an old Sand Arena (unused).
There are also solo arenas if you want to host your own wither fight.

Arenas
Since the creation of Autcraft's new worlds in 2014, Wither Fights have been contained primarily within special arenas created by the admin where damage is either minimal or can be easily rolled back (fixed) so that the next Wither Fight can be started at a moment's notice.

• Bedrock Arena
  • Created by AutismFather, the bedrock arena originally was placed at the top of the nether but was then moved to the wither world where it is still to this day. This bedrock arena had walls, a floor, and a ceiling consisting primarily of bedrock.
  • However, the ceiling and floor also had glowstone (later replaced with Sea Lanterns) randomly placed throughout to provide light. It was a bonus effect that these lights would be destroyed throughout the battle causing a dimming/darkness that grew throughout the fight.
• Castle Arena
  • The Castle Arena is a big wooded castle centralized in the wither arena and small 1.12 village houses in birch wood. This arena was one of the first stylized wither fights to a specific theme.
• Desert Arena
  • Currently, this arena is not used often in the wither fights, this arena has a unique temple in the middle with 1.12 sandstone houses.
• Nether Arena ( Old )
  • A wither arena in the nether, placed over a lava pool, fight mobs on a nether fortress with small bits of netherrack on the sides to fight. [Discontinued]
• Ocean Arena
  • The Ocean wither arena has 2 guardian temples, stylized artwork like fish, a chest with coral, crabs, light towers, and a boat. Inside this arena, you will have a fun time with water mobs in the water or flying mobs in the sky.
• Ocean (Ice) Arena
  • The Ocean Ice arena is very similar to the Ocean Arena but is themed with ice and snow decorations.
• Winter Arena
  • The Winter Arena is an arena made by the Autcraft Helpers and has many stylized penguins in the clothing and manner of helpers, a big ice mountain in the middle with an 'evil' cookie monster(Maybe?) with other cozy houses and camping setups. There is an icy river surrounding the ice mountain and an ice skating rink. The train station has many penguin workers helping keep the train up to schedule. You can see the train boarding the station soon coming from the dark tunnel to the right of the entrance. Snowy trees can be seen around the arena to make a wintery feel.
• Mesa Arena
  • This arena was also known as The Dry Gulch is an old wild-west inspired town in the mesa biome which was made at the same time as the minigames Dry Gulch maps. 
• VOB (Village of Boos) Arena
  • An arena centered around Halloween was created in 2019 was made by admins, sr helpers, and helpers and has the Spooky Haunted House, a Graveyard, a giant pumpkin, a bone structure, a forest, a lava pool, and some pixel arts. This arena is used sometimes but more often around the Spooky season of October but can be used throughout the whole year.
• The Forest Arena
  • The arena of tranquility and peace decorated with customer trees, mushroom houses, butterflies, and many flowers and rainbows. Visit this peaceful place during the rampaging wither fight of withers and destruction. Made around the Spring of 2020
• Mars Arena
  • Made as an arena for an out-of-this-world experience you fly around with jump boost and slow falling giving a low gravity feel with rockets ready to head back to earth and a dome city for survival and protection. Don't explore too far or you may get stolen by aliens investigating crash sites and a mysterious cave system and camp sight. Powered by Solar Power. Made in Spring 2020 and Revealed on Autcraft's 7th Birthday
• Mars With Magnets (Normal Gravity) Arena
  • Very Similar to the Normal Mars map this map is housed with magnets under the ground to stick to all materials requiring the same gravity as earth. The landscape is less explorable but the same as the other.
• Valentines Arena
  • An arena from valentines day with hearts, Ferris wheels, bears, costume trees,  and a pinky and white backdrop. Added on 2/13/2021.
• Nether Arena (1.16)
  • Fight amongst the 5 nether biomes, a bastion, and a nether fortress. In each biome it is specialized per the arena to fit and is custom made by the Patreon Build Team.
• Solo Arenas
  • These small areas are open to players to build and create custom arenas along with fight withers on their own, these arenas are cylindrical shapes and anyone is allowed to place a wither here since it is made out of bedrock. There are 4 different areas, 3 of which are the same and one has bedrock structures to hide behind and make a more unique fight.

Special Locations
A few Wither Fights have taken place in locations other than the designated areas. These special fights are very rare but the destruction they cause can be so much fun.

• Withers At The Watch
  • As the older world of 2013 was coming to a close, we held a special Wither Fight on December 24th, 2013 within The Watch.
  • This fight can be viewed on YouTube.
• The End
  • The end, the home of the Ender Dragon and brought in with withers as reinforcements and eventually Cursed Admins this land was the banished land to endermen and the Ender Dragon until the Dragon Fights happened which left the worlds open to attacks from withers and more dragons from time to time, Eventually, new mobs from ancient lands arrived to defeat the invaders, but more and more came including mobs one called 'The Ragecraft Mobs'
• Christmas Party 2020
  • One night a smaller than normal wither arena was made, it was a small party for the night hosted by JustBlue333, the arena was Christmas-themed with presents, a big Christmas tree, and some pixel arts and penguins.
• Overlord_Krycis's Castle
  • Overlord_Krycis sacrificed his castle to a swarm of Withers on January 24th, 2014.
  • This fight can be viewed on YouTube.

Videos
Not all Wither Fights have been recorded but AutismFather began recording quite a few of them to not only document the occasions but to also give the players the chance to see themselves on YouTube.
Along the way, many special occasions were also recorded including Wither Fights in unique locations.

The entire playlist of videos can be viewed on YouTube.

 

Description

The server has a lot of locations for players to explore and play in, from several different worlds to mini-games. Below is a summary of various locations on our server. For more information, click the "Locations" link on the right side of this page and then choose the location you wish to read more about. 

Spawn
This is a list of all the locations at the current spawn. For the history and information about spawn, visit its wiki page. Spawn can be reached with the command /spawn

• World Portals
  • All the portals and warp buttons to major locations are in the Teleportation Station. 
• TARDIS
  • The TARDIS is a reference to Doctor Who in which the lead character flies around in a big blue phone box that is bigger on the inside. The TARDIS replaced the "wall of player heads" as the number of players we had with grew beyond what the walls could hold. As AutismFather thought about it, he realized that an infinite number of wall spaces were required so it only made sense to have a building that was somehow "bigger on the inside."
• Shops
  • At spawn there's a range of items and blocks that players can buy, ranging from wood to elytras. The only items and blocks that will be for sale are base items and blocks (e.g logs, stone etc.) and rare items and blocks (e.g elytras, mending books etc.) You can get to it using /warp shop
• Bank
  • The Bank can find a bank in the shops area of spawn, in a stone building next the tunnel exit. Ingame money can be traded in for emeralds, which can be used to purchase items in the shops area.
• Patreon Monument
  • AutismFather signed up for Patreon to allow people anywhere in the world to support the server with monthly donations. In exchange for pledges of $10 or more, a monument at spawn was created to hold and display the patron's name. The Patreon Monument currently resides at Spawn5.
• Jobs Centre
  • In the Jobs Centre you can join or leave jobs, check your job stats and see the top workers in each job.
• Mini-Games
  • On AutCraft there are some fun mini-games you can play. These are Paintball, Parkour, Spleef, Hide & Seek, and Mob-Arena. The Mini-Games can be accessed through a portal in the Teleportation Station, or by typing /warp minigames. 

Role Play World
Autcraft's RP world is an exciting land with many places to discover.

• Ponyville
  • Fans of My Little Pony will enjoy Ponyville, a recreation of the town from Friendship is Magic.
• 1890's School
  • A massive building created in the style of an 1890's school, players can create the perfect school like stories in a huge and impressive school environment.
• Castle
  • Kings and Queens never lived so well in our Templar inspired castle. Complete with hidden passageways, spiraling towers, and a massive throne room, there is no end to the stories that can be created here.
• Cruise Ship
  • The Cruise Ship, previously called Oasis, is exactly as it sounds, a cruise ship. It's built to scale, where one end of the ship is beyond the render distance of the other end. If you're not careful, you might even get lost inside the ship.
• Wonderland 
  • Set to the theme of Alice in Wonderland, you can explore the Queen of Heart's castle, the hedge maze and see all your favorite characters as you roleplay your own wacky adventures.
• Pokemon Island
  • Visit the land of the Pokemon creatures and role play until you catch them all!
  • Giant Land
    At Giant Land, you will find huge statues of the admins as well as statues of most of the popular passive and hostile mobs in the game. Inside many of those giants, you may find a basic parkour course and even some hidden signs with messages.

Farms
There are many locations on Autcraft where players can kill mobs for XP or gather resources in a controlled environment.

• Ender Ender 2.0
  • The Ender Ender is a build in The End where Endermen are dropped from severe heights so that players can kill them with a single empty-handed punch. 6 stations allow for several players to kill Endermen at the same time, collecting both experience and ender pearls all they want.
• Mob Farm
  • Players can kill skeletons, creepers, zombies, witches, spiders, and slimes at our Mob Farm, all while earning experience, mob drops, and maybe even mob heads.
• Public Farm
  • The AutCraft Public Farm was built by players, for players. Players can get everything from carrots to chorus fruit there. Players can get items from the chests at the front of the farm but they can't farm themselves as the farm is protected. There is also a Public Tree Farm at the back of the Public Farm where players can get all the wood they want. To visit the farm type /warp farm

Other Locations

• Calm Rooms
  • The Calm Rooms, sometimes called Snoezelen rooms, are special buildings on the server specifically built to stimulate and calm a player's senses. There are several different rooms with different effects and moods. All of these rooms have the public chat disabled for both incoming and outgoing chat. A player can still send and receive private messages but nothing in the public chat. These rooms can be visited by pressing the warp button in the Teleportation Station at Spawn.
• Spam Rooms
  • The Spam Rooms are a building with a series of rooms with different activities to "spam" with, the chat is disabled in there, but you can still message people. This to prevent people from spamming things in chat, and provide a place for people to calm down, much like the calm rooms, but a lot different as well. These can also be visited by pressing the warp button in the Teleportation Station at Spawn.
• Village of Boos
  • A treat at Halloween and throughout the year, Village of Boos contains a haunted house, maze, cemetery, and jump scares, among other things. Once updated each year in October, you can expect fun, spooky happenings and treats from dispensers.

Description

Autcraft's Creative server, dubbed ACC, launched on December 18th, 2017. The Creative server is powered primarily using the PlotSquared plugin and includes WorldEdit.

The addition of Autcraft Creative also includes the introduction of the system in which the Survival and Creative servers are separate machines but tethered together to provide players a way to travel back and forth between the two without disconnecting.

Creative Spawn

Development
The server was promised early in 2017 should AutismFather's Patreon page reach $2000/m. This milestone was reached in June 2017 and work on the server began. There were several delays however including some missing features in PlotSquared and the new Amp software, the replacement to McMyAdmin 2, was not yet complete enough to use. Also in that time, the Autcraft survival server was reaching its limits on hard drive space and required a server move, leaving the original server free to put Creative on.

Getting Started
You get access to the Creative server by first going onto Autcraft like normal and then either going through the Creative server portal or by entering the command /server creative.

When you join the ACC server, you find yourself at spawn with two books in your inventory which will explain the basics on using the server. This spawn is in a separate world from the plots world where you will have access to land and building tools.

To begin, use the command /plot auto to claim your first plot on which to build. You can also go to an empty plot and claim it by entering the command /plot claim.

Players with the Autcrafter rank get 1 plot, Iron and Gold get 2 plots, and Diamond and Patreon get 4 plots. Patreons also get access to some extra WorldEdit commands (brushes).

Extra plots and creative commands can be purchased using points at the Autcraft Shop.

Need to Know
Some commonly asked questions can be found here. Check these before asking an admin.

• Deleting a Plot
  • You can not delete your plot. Unfortunately this can cause glitches in the plots so this has been disabled for players. We encourage players to reuse a plot by clearing it (/plot clear) and starting over. If you absolutely must delete it, do a /modreq and an admin will perform this action for you.
• Difference between Add and Trust
  • Add - Player can only build on your plot while you are online
  • Trust - Player can build on your plot any time as well as use world edit anywhere on your plot
• Deny a Player Entry
  • /plot deny - This will lock a player out of your plot.
  • /ignore - Just like on Autcraft, you can use the ignore command.
• Changing More Plot Settings
  • /plot flag set gamemode <gamemode> - This changes the gamemode of the plot.
  • /plot flag set time <ticks> - This sets the time of the plot. For example: 0 is dawn, 6000 is noon/midday, 12000 is sunset, 18000 is midnight.
• Merging Plots
  • If you have multiple plots next to each other, you may want to merge the plots into one bigger plot. To do this:
    • Stand in one of your plots that you want to merge
    • Look into the plot that you want to merge with the plot you are standing in
    • Type the command /p merge - This will remove the road between the two plots, and merge them into one bigger plot.
• Useful Tip
  • Some players may have their plot set to be in survival mode which means when you fly into the plot you may die from fall damage. One thing you can do to help is wear an elytra and when your change gamemode activate it to fall slowly to the ground.

Description

The first building ever made on Autcraft, the lodge was designed to be the central meeting place for players to gather and head off on adventures together. It was created with enderchests, anvils and even a hidden enchantment table for players to do virtually anything they needed while there. The lodge was created before Autcraft even opened to the public and hasn't changed much since.

Description

Lost and Found is a service for players who have lost important items. This area is located at Spawn, southwest of the Transportation Station.

How It Works
If one has found an item that does not belong to them, they may deposit it into one of the five hoppers (Fig. 2). Then the item will flow into one of two double chests which are locked to AutismFather using the Lockette plugin. To re-obtain a lost item, one must contact any online Admin or use the /modreq command. Directions are also posted on signs in the structure 

History
Lost and Found was built and established by AutismFather on April 14th, 2020.

Description

The initial spawn location, where you appeared when you first join the server, where you went when you typed in /spawn and where you went when you die, was inside the great Pyramid as Spawn. Inside there was some useful information to get you started, examples of several mob heads that drop throughout the server and also the portal to the Wither Arenas.

The Pyramid was not transferred to the new 1.9+ spawn because of a design philosophy around circles and a focus on making it quick to get to the world portals. The spawn point was now on a circular junction next to the world portals & minigames. The portal to the Wither Arenas was now in the world portal building.

In the 1.13 + 1.14.4 spawn, the pyramid is not present.

Description

Spawn is the first place new players see when they log on to Autcraft. It is the central location for getting to every location on Autcraft and also functions as a meeting place for many events and activities. 

Current Features

• Spawn Tower
  • The current spawn has a large tower in the center of a valley. From this point, players can see many of the most important areas at spawn. Players can leave the tower via a suspension bridge, or a water elevator. The raw gold block in the center of the tower is known as "The Golden Beans." Inside of the tower can be found an enchanting room, a map of spawn, and a secret underground dance club.
• Secret Rooms
  • There are many secret rooms hidden around spawn for players to discover. They are hidden and tricky to find, utilizing secret entrances tucked away in unexpected locations. 
• Shiny Room
  • The Shiny head room displays shiny heads that have been discovered. This room also features some of the mob heads from The Darkness, such as Cursed Admins and mob bosses. 
• Transportation Station
  • The portals room at Spawn 6 is known as The Transportation Station and contains portals and warp buttons to take players anywhere they want to go. World portals feature mini biomes to provide examples of what can be done in each world, such as building, collecting resources, or playing a minigame. The button wall has warp buttons to take players to the Birthday Board, Jobs Center, Calm Rooms, Spam Room, Enderman Farm, Mob Farm, Public Farm, TARDIS, and Shops area. 
• T.A.R.D.I.S 
  • The TARDIS is a reference to Doctor Who in which the lead character flies around in a big blue phone box that is bigger on the inside. The TARDIS replaced the "wall of player heads" as the number of players we had with ranks grew beyond what the walls could hold. As AutismFather thought about it, he realized that an infinite number of wall spaces were required so it only made sense to have a building that was somehow "bigger on the inside." The TARDIS traveled through time and space to arrive in the mountains at Spawn 6. 
• Jobs Centre 
  • In the Jobs Centre, you can join or leave jobs, check your job stats, and see the top workers in each job. This centre can be found from the Spawn Tower by following the path in front of the the Transportation Station to the left and walking down into the large cave. The Jobs area are at the bottom of the steps. 
• Lost and Found
  • Lost and Found is a service for players who have lost important items. From the Spawn Tower, follow the main path to the right. There is a sign pointing to a small set of stairs. See [[Lost and Found]]
• Lodge
  • The first building ever made on Autcraft, the lodge was designed to be the central meeting place for players to gather and head off on adventures together. It was created with ender chests, anvils, and even a hidden enchantment table for players to do virtually anything they needed while there. The lodge was created before Autcraft even opened to the public and hasn't changed much since. The lodge can be found by following the path through the tunnel behind the campfire benches that are over the Transportation Station.
• Shops
  • The Shops are located on the other side of the mountain and can be accessed through a tunnel past the Announcements Board. In this area players can exchange emeralds for many useful items. The Trade Merchants are also located in the Shops area now, where you can trade items you have for different materials. 
• Bank
  • You can find The Bank in the Shops area. Here, you can exchange your in-game money for emeralds, which can be used to buy items from shops at spawn or from players.
• Birthday Island
  • This "island" is on the south end of spawn and can be accessed by a bridge at the edge of the forest. Upcoming birthdays are displayed. Players can request their birthday be added to the board, and be announced at Player of the Week, by submitting a modreq

Past Features

• Patreon Monument
  • To have Autcraft actually generate some income, AutismFather signed up to Patreon where people anywhere in the world can pledge money to the server monthly. In exchange for pledges of $10 or more, a monument at spawn was created to hold and display the patron's name. For more information on Patreon, visit [[Patreon|its wiki page.]]
• Appreciation House
  • In December 2020, to celebrate Patreon members,  a new house was built and installed at spawn. It was open to only paying Patreon members. The name was later changed to the “Appreciation House”, and became open to everyone. 
• Elytra Tower
  • The First And only Tower Of its kind is at Spawn 4

Spawn History
In 2013, Autcraft launched with just one single world. At its center was Spawn, the gateway to all other places of interest on the server.

Since that time though, the server has gone through several changes and with it, several different versions of spawn.

Spawn 1
2013 - 2014

This spawn was the first and often regarded as the player's favorite spawn. When [[AutismFather|AutismFather]] first set up the server, this was the location where the very first blocks were placed. The premise was to have a warm, inviting feeling as though you were joining a friendly neighborhood. Villager stations were set up, a lodge was situated on top of a nearby mountain where players could gather and a large 'Welcome' sign was high in the sky in the very center.

Players were encouraged to build around this central location.

Other buildings were added over time including the original "Quartz Hotel", the original sandstone pyramid, a trading station, the Autcraft railway station, and an animal zoo. 

You can TP to this spawn by doing /warp spawn1

Spawn 2
2014 - 2015

In 2014 Spawn wasn't just a new location but a whole new world.

The "Lobby" world was created to house all future Spawn builds with the idea that since players could not explore, the file size of the world would never grow so large as to become corrupted by data loss.

The neighborhood feel was replaced by a single massive building with intricate details throughout. The hope was to demonstrate to players the possibilities that could be done with walls and floors beyond a basic flat surface.

The warp room and warp buttons were replaced with water portals throughout the building that players could walk into and instantly be transported to the world or mini-games of their choice.

This building was a collaboration between many admins and even had input from visitors.

Features included walls throughout displaying various ranks and top players, the addition of a birthday board, Redstone 'gate' examples, and a dragon head featuring the Dragon Eggs from past Ender Dragon Fights.

You can TP to this spawn by doing /warp spawn2

Spawn 3
2015 - 2016

Still, in the Lobby world, this new spawn returned to the village feel of the original.

Returning to this Spawn was the lodge on the mountain, the floating Welcome sign floating high in the center of the village, and the warp room.

Many new builds were carried over from the new Peaceful World into this new spawn, including the bank, post office, party room, and giant new Quartz Hotel.

Additions added since then include the library, Patreon Monument and T.A.R.D.I.S. which is now the home to our player headwalls where our ranks and P.O.T.W.

You can TP to this spawn by doing /warp spawn3

Spawn 4 
Spawn of Autcraft from 2016 - 2019

With the upgrade to 1.9 and the addition of several new block types as well as the Elytra, a new spawn was introduced to feature these changes as well as to correct some issues that we had with the previous spawn.

This spawn's key feature is a reduced overall size especially directly around the primary /spawn area so that players with a render distance of 4 could find the important areas immediately.
Another key feature is the inclusion of launching platforms from several key areas allowing for players to "spread their wings" and soar around with the use of their Elytra wings.
Also, areas were consolidated, meaning that the world portals were no longer spread out in four different places. Now all world portals are in one place, all mini-games in one place, the bank and shops are in one place, and so forth.

Speaking of shops, the general store was replaced with a market in which the ShopKeeper plugin made it so that players could trade emeralds for items they wanted much as you do in vanilla Minecraft.

Buildings that returned from the previous spawn included The Lodge, The T.A.R.D.I.S., the Patreon Monument, and the Town Hall.

You can TP to the spawn by typing /warp spawn4

Spawn 5
Spawn of Autcraft from 2019 - 2022

When Autcraft updated to 1.14, the spawn was changed to fit with the underwater theme of 1.13, and with a pillager outpost to fit with 1.14. Most of the major things like the World Portals and Minigames were moved to underwater bubble-like structures. This new spawn also gave everyone the ability to use /fly, regardless of their rank. 

The Lodge, Bank, Town Hall, and Shops were absent from this spawn, however returning buildings were The Patreon Monument, which was designed by MagicLentilSoup, and the mob heads building, which only contained shiny heads. The TARDIS was replaced by a portal, however, the inside remained the same. New builds included but were not limited to Patreon House, Lost and Found, a birthday island, and update-specific items (Think Pillager Outpost, Coral reefs underwater).

Throwing a trident outside of the spawn border is not recommended as sometimes they may not come back, even if it has Loyalty, resulting in you losing your trident.  

In June 2020, to celebrate Pride Month, a rainbow version was created and had many different themes as you came and went.

Spawn 6
Spawn of Autcraft from 2022 - present day

Soon after Autcraft updated to 1.18, a new spawn was created to highlight many of the new features that had been added to the game since the previous spawn was built. A perfect location was found to showcase both the new caves and cliffs, with a beautiful valley in the center. 

Spawn 6 is Autcraft's largest spawn to date, which allows room for more exciting builds. The spawn point is set on a large tower in the center of the valley, from where players can see the most commonly used locations. A brand new Transportation Station was built to house world portals and warp buttons to every world on Autcraft. The Info Center was created as a place to quickly find answers to common questions about gameplay. Lost and Found, TAO, the Jobs Centre, Birthday Island, and the Shiny Room are all located in the main area on this side of Spawn. The Shops and Trades area is on the other side of the mountain through a tunnel. Along the snowy peaks to the south of Spawn, the Lodge has returned, as well as the TARDIS, a boat skating rink, and other fun builds to discover. 

A new feature at this spawn is The Tour Coaster. This ride was developed as a way to give new players an overview of Autcraft where there isn't anyone available to provide a personal tour.

Description

The T.A.R.D.I.S  (Time and relative dimension in space), also known as a time travelers box which was stolen by the doctor and he has been running ever since. The T.A.R.D.I.S may seem to have landed on the autcraft server, but this is just a mere shell. Inside the structure, the building is much bigger on the inside (Autcraft magic, yes!). 

Autcraft's TARDIS
On the Autcraft server, the structure plays a role of being the Hall of fame, the hall not only holds the lists of people with the ranks of Admin, Helper or Buddy but is also the grounds in which players gather once a week, Saturday at 9 pm GMT/4 pm EST/7 am AEST/8 am AEDT to watch the unveiling of the new POTW (Player of the week.) The TARDIS can be found on the south end of Spawn, where it crash landed in the mountains. Players can also visit it with the command /warp tardis

Existing areas with paths were redone with new paths to correlate to what goes there. A New Strider race was added for players to run around a racing area against others. Ghost Busters was also added to shoot ghosts inside a haunted house. Other areas added were by the pumpkin roller coaster for the pumpkin contest.

History
2013 
Autcraft initially began with just one world (including the Nether and The End). This world had a region of space surrounding the spawn point where 2000 blocks in any direction (making it a 4,000 x 4,000 area) would be unable to spawn any hostile mobs.

The perimeter of this area had a brick wall that would keep hostile mobs out. On the other side of this wall, however, would and could spawn any mobs that regular Hard mode Minecraft could create. This quickly caused problems as the server filled up with players, most of whom desired space within the peaceful, walled, non-hostile mob spawning area. Space ran out fast.

Also, it created problems within the mob spawning mechanics of Minecraft as the game tried desperately to spawn mobs around all of the players on the server but couldn't due to the peaceful region. The resulting effect was that the game would spawn unbelievable amounts of mobs around those few players outside of the wall. Sometimes the screen would be filled with literally hundreds and hundreds of mobs.

As the end of 2013 came to an end, we began to run into data corruption issues. The server struggled to save the changes that players made to the server fast enough and thus, data was lost. This created corrupt chunks, lost items, random glitches, and more. The problem continued to worsen over time causing Autcraft to make the fateful decision to close the world forever and start anew in 2014 with the creation of two new worlds.

2014
Near the end of 2013, Autcraft announced that the single world would be closing and in January 2014, 2 brand new worlds were opened.

• The Peaceful World were only passive mobs could spawn and hunger was not an issue
• The Hard World where the difficulty was set to "Easy" and hostile mobs could spawn and you had to eat but would not die of starvation.

In addition to the creation of these worlds, a 3rd world was created called "Lobby" in which the main spawn building as well as the server's "jails" were placed. This world was locked such that no player could explore or travel beyond the building's borders in an attempt to keep the file sizes on the server as minimal as possible, reducing the chances for data corruption.

In mid 2014, yet another world was added called Resource World where players could mine for resources, chop trees, dig the ground and do as much damage to the terrain and world as they pleased. This world would be reset at the beginning of each month, replenishing the resources and providing all of the players with virtually limitless resources without having to destroy the worlds in which they lived.

Unfortunately, much like the first world, over time, there were so many players and so much activity that the server once again began to fail to save the data quickly enough, leading to data corruption. Entire areas on the server became so corrupt that simply entering those areas would crash your client, causing you to have to close the game entirely. Upon signing back in, you would appear in that area and your game would attempt to load the corrupted data and crash again, keeping your player stuck in that area until manually placed outside of that area by an administrator.

2016
Towards the end of 2015, Autcraft formulated the plan for 2016 in which there would be 4 new worlds to live in. These were:

• Peaceful World - Difficulty is set to Peaceful, you do not get hungry, no hostile mobs
• Peaceful Amplified World - Difficulty is set to Peaceful, you do not get hungry, no hostile mobs, the terrain is amplified
• Hard World - Difficulty set to Easy, hunger is affected, hostile mobs spawn
• Hard Amplified World - Difficulty set to Easy, hunger is affected, hostile mobs spawn, the terrain is amplified

Players were given 4 months in which to move everything they have/wish to one of these new worlds and then, the 2 old worlds would be closed on January 1st, 2016, leaving only the 4 new worlds in which to build.
