Start Here

AoW SMP Quick Start Path

One playbook for first-time joins, first home, first command, and your first successful return to your plot.

If this is your first time on the server, start here and complete everything in one pass. This is the default onboarding route we recommend for players, helpers, and staff handoffs.

Connect

Add play.aowmc.com in your client and connect using Java 21565 or Bedrock 19132.

Get your baseline

Protect early

Map sanity

Open map.aowmc.com and memorize a simple route back to spawn.

2 First 60-minute checklist

01) Confirm crossplay identity If you are on Bedrock, in-game names usually appear with a dot prefix like .Steve.
02) Build your command memory Run /sethome home, /home home, and /claimslist before any major work.
03) Run economy loop Open /ah and visit one safe local player market before starting survival trade routines.
04) Recovery setup Open /deaths and /backtrack as your default recovery sequence for long trips.
05) Keep things tidy Keep your base footprint compact until a trust network is in place with safe neighbors.
