This page is the human version of the command list. It tells you what to do first, what systems matter, and which commands are worth remembering.
1 First 10 minutes
Run /guide. The guidebook explains the core commands and gives you a quick in-game reference.
Use roads, the live map, or /rtp to find fresh land. Do not build directly on top of public paths.
Once you find a spot, run /sethome. If you die or disconnect, /home is your lifeline.
Use GriefPrevention claims and trust commands before you add valuable blocks, farms, or shops.
Run /daily. Streaks build coin rewards and pay a diamond on every seventh day.
Run /skills. Mining, fighting, farming, fishing, and movement feed AuraSkills progress.
2 Your first base
A good starter base is easy to reach, protected, and not in the middle of somebody else's expansion route.
| Step | Do this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Scout | Open map.aowmc.com and look for roads, water, and empty terrain. | Map scouting saves time and helps you avoid building into another player's plan. |
| Travel | Use /rtp, /tpa, or a public warp. | You can start far from spawn without a long walk. |
| Mark home | Run /sethome starter. | Homes are safer than trying to remember coordinates. |
| Claim | Use a golden shovel claim and then /claimslist. | Claims protect builds and show your remaining claim blocks. |
| Trust carefully | Use /trust, /containertrust, or /accesstrust. | Give friends only the level of access they need. |
/trust .Steve.3 Progression lanes
Claim land, stock materials, build roads, decorate with farms, and use the live map to plan nearby paths.
Search Terralith terrain, Towns & Towers villages, the structure module in AoWWorldGen, richer chests, and new ore veins.
Move beyond 200 blocks, watch for gold-named Elite mobs, and bring gear before fighting glowing threats.
Use /ah, QuickShop chest shops, and /pay to turn surplus resources into useful upgrades.
Level AuraSkills through normal play, then check /skills top and /top playtime.
Answer join questions, explain dot names to Bedrock players, and point new players to /guide.
4 Commands worth memorizing

5 Good SMP habits
- Claim a base before placing valuables.
- Ask before building directly beside another player.
- Use shops and auctions for trades instead of begging in chat.
- Use the live map to plan roads without cutting through private builds.
- Report problems with coordinates, player names, and a short description.
