Guides

Welcome to SentinelCraft!


If you just joined our community and you need some guidance on how to start playing our server, you came to the right place.
First of all, if you joined for the first time, after logging in into the server, you will have to do /register <password> <password> then /login<password>. After the first join, you will only need to keep using /login <password>

Right-clicking on the NPC, it will give you our general rules. You will auto-join the server as a member but do make the time to read the rules or ask staff about any unclear information about the rules to avoid any unwanted punishments.

After you successfully done all of it, You will see that spawn is protected from building to prevent griefing. To be able to build your house, you will need to warp into the wilderness. You can also do /rtp which will randomly teleport you in the world. Do try to build away from others! Be a good neighbour!

To help you in your gameplay, we have also implemented some useful commands. Below is a list of some of the basic ones, and you can always go to the tutorial room by typing /tutorial to check out the rest of them. You can also check the list of our other guides by doing /guides.

   - You can also /vote and get 100$ and 10 tokens each time you vote on a link. There are five links you can vote on every 24 hours. So you can earn 500$ and 50 tokens a day.
   - Some towns/players have shops where you can sell items in order to make money. You can also make your own shop.
   - /Auction is also a great way to earn money.
   - If you cannot wait to have money you can also /donate and receive up to 250000$ in-game cash, along with quite a few other perks.

General Gameplay:

This is a primarily survival server, that means this is a server that plays along the same line as single-player mode survival in vanilla Minecraft. No one in the game is granted creative except for the owner.


Your first task in starting out here is to find a place to build. You should check /map and find a nice location to settle. Once you have that you can set up shop and start building. You can harvest and sell wood logs, ores, and farmed goods to the shop to make some money.

This is only a starter guide into our server, as you can imagine there are a lot more commands that can be used. If you need any help with the more advanced commands we recommend asking other players or staff members for help. If you still have any doubts, more questions or even have any suggestions to help our server get better, you can go to our forums and post a topic about it.


We hope you enjoy your stay,

-- SentinelCraft Staff.

A User’s Guide to the Sentinelcraft Auction House



 

So you want to make some money using the auction house system on Sentinelcraft, eh? Well, this guide is here to offer tips about how you can close your next deal successfully and with ease! Listed below is our quickstart guide to using the auction house system as well as a reference sheet for all of the commands that will be useful for you to know so you can become the next CodeJoel!

What is this page?

This page is the auction house. Here you can list items for sale, and purchase items others have listed for sale. The auction is also a great way to make money by selling farmable items other players may be interested in selling.

How to Sell An Item On the Auction House

To list an item on the auction house, just hold the item in your hand and type /ah sell <price> 

You don’t even need to worry about collecting your posted auctions, as the money you earn will automatically be added to your balance. To see your balance, type /balance or /money

Expired Auctions

On occasion, some of the items you list may not be the immediate big-ticket sellers you were hoping, and the auction house will list your items as expired. Fret not, as you are able to recollect your expired items by typing /ah expired and returning the items to your inventory.

Keep trying and repost the item back to the auction house. Someone will eventually buy that dirt block of yours for sure!

And That’s Pretty Much It!

Husk Claims Tutorial

Tutorial video:

Disclaimer: This was made for GriefPrevention, a similar plugin, HuskClaims that we have updated to works similarly, so we have not removed the tutorial.

Step 1: Claim your area

First thing we got to do, is to take out your golden shove. With that, right click one corner of your base (shows a diamond blocks marking it), then move to opposite corner and right click again. This claims the area. You should end up with some blocks marking your area. 

Creating a claim by right-clicking two corner points

 

If the area you set up is too small or too big, you can right clock on any of the corners to resize it. This only works for rectangular shapes. You can also click next to it, and move o the next area, to make the protection a different rectangular shape.

Step 2: Use subdivisions

If you don't want everyone to be able to edit it freely and only want them to make builds in specific areas, you can use subdivisions. To use them, you need to change the golden shovel mode. To change it to that mode, use the command /childclaim [radius].

Now in your claimed area, right-click on the corner of your subdivision and then go to the opposite corner and right click again. Subdivisions show up with iron instead of gold.

Step 3: Give permissions for friends

Now that you have the subdivisions made, you need them to be able to build there. For that, you can use the trust commands individually in each subdivision. When you know who will build in the area, you'll have to set up their permissions:

  • /accesstrust [playername] -> lets trusted players press buttons, levers, and pressure plates and open doors, trapdoors, and fences gates as long as they have been unlocked through /lwc
  • /containertrust [playername] -> lets trusted players open chests, hoppers, furnaces, etc - and edit the items in them, only if they have been trusted or unlocked through /lwc
  • /trust [playername] -> lets trusted players place/break blocks (and all of the above)
  • /permissiontrust [playername] - lets trusted players have full claim management access, letting them trust/untrust other players, toggle groups and create child claims (and all of the above)

Make sure to do them inside the subdivision. Otherwsie the person you are giving the permissions will have them everywhere in your claim.

Step 4: Remove permissions or subdivisions

You can remove permissions from a subdivision. Sometimes they have given others permissions to build there. So when you want to kick a player from your area, use /untrust all. This will remove the permissions of everyone in that subdivision.

To remove a subdivision, stand inside the subdivision, and type /abandonclaim. Make sure you stand in the subdivision, or else you delete the entire protection.

Step 5: Maintenance of claims

Abusing your powers can lead to punishment. Make sure to follow the rules.

If you are a trusted player on an inactive players' claim, you are able to request claim leadership transfer to your name, if you have a legitimate reason (you have 60 days).

If you need help checking where your claim is, you can use bluemap. {insert new image here}

You can check your claims using /claimlist

Towns Guide


HuskTowns is a versatile, player-controlled land management plugin.

It costs $2000 to create a town. From then on, you spend money to level your town at x2 the cost of the previous level. Town levels allow you to increase your:

  • Maximum town members;
  • Maximum claims;
  • Crop growth rate;
  • Mob spawner rates.

Abusing your powers as a mayor or trustee can lead to punishment. Make sure to follow the rules.

Players are considered inactive after 30 days without joining the server. After this time, you are allowed to remove their build, permissions. Make sure to visit their owned plot when this happens. A town will be inactive after 180 days of nobody in the town joining.

If you are a trustee and your Mayor went inactive for more than 60 days, you are able to request the Town leadership transfer to your name, if you have a legitimate reason.

If you need help checking where your town is, you can use BlueMap.


Town Management: 

/town create [name] - Creates your own town. 

/town invite [player name] – Invites a player to your time letting them join the town. 

/town leave – You leave your town, leaving them behind ): 

/town rename [name] – lets you rename your town. 

/town color – lets you give your town name a color, when you enter the town and when you view it it becomes the color that you choose. 

/town relations - View your towns’ relations.

/town relations set [ally/enemy] [town] - Sets your relation with another town.

/town relations set neutral [town] - Sets your relation to neutral with another town (Default).

Ranks and evicting:

/town demote [player name] – Demotes a player, disabling them from editing town grounds. 

/town evict [player name] – Kicks a player from the town. /town ban [player name]

Claiming: 

/town claim – Claims a chunk for your town, letting you build and break blocks there, but not letting residents and outsiders build and break in that chunk. 

/town unclaim – Unclaims a chunk, It’s not your property anymore, so people can edit blocks in it. 

Town Plots & Farms:

To make a town plot from a regular claim, use /town plot and members will then be able to use /plot claim to claim the plot while it is vacant. Alternatively, you can assign someone to the plot with /town plot add <player>. Note the <player> does not actually have to be a town member. Players added to a plot have full access to build within it.

You can designate someone as a "manager" of a town plot, which will let them add others to the plot as well using the previously mentioned command. You can do this with /town plot add <player> manager.

You can remove someone from a plot with /town plot remove <player> and view a simple list of plot members with /town plot list.

/town farm - To make a town claim into a town farm claim, stand in it. Mob spawners and crops in town farms spawn/grow at boosted rates based on your town's level. Any member of your town can break and place farm blocks, crops, interact with mobs as well as access containers in town farms. They can't, however, build or break most structures.

/town clearspawn – lets you remove the spawn point of your town.

/town deposit [amount] – lets you put money in your town bank and save it, rather than spend it all, smart choice

Town Wars:

The war system is something fun for the ones that want to go into friendly battles over a wager. There is no grief involved, and it only happens when both parties consent to the war (A party declares it, a party accepts it and both are enemies)

A War is between two towns, and a few requirements must be satisfied between both towns before going to war:

  • Both towns must have at least one claim with a /town spawn point set within it.
  • Both towns must be able to afford the minimum wager for a war: 10,000$
  • Both towns must not be on cooldown from a previous war (default value: 48 hours)
  • The attacker declares the war, the defender accepts the war. The war only starts if both parties are consenting.

/war declare [town] [wager] - Mayor declares war with a town over a wager of a minimum of 10k.

/war accept - Accepts the war. The defending town will receive a message informing them that a war declaration request has been made against them. They must then accept the terms of war (including the proposed wager).

A User’s Guide to the Sentinelcraft Chest Shops



So you want to make some money using the chest shops on Sentinelcraft, eh? Well, this guide is here to give our two cents about how you can establish your own shop successfully and with ease! Listed below is our quickstart guide to using the chest shop system as well as a reference sheet for all of the commands that will be useful for you to know so you can become the next Market!

Quickstart Guide

To start, place a simple chest on the ground. While holding the item you want to sell in this shop, type /ecs create <buy price> <sell price>. If you don’t want players selling to your shop, or you’re only seeking to collect resources, don’t worry! There are settings you can alter we’ll get to in a bit. For now, just set a number that works to get started. The result of this command will transform your chest into a shop!

 

   

Let’s take a look at the settings inside real quick. When you first enter the shop screen, you’ll be faced with a screen that looks like this:

 

 

First thing you will notice is the chest icon in the bottom-left corner called Admin View. This is where you will restock your shop with items as your stock is depleted.

The sign icon in the bottom-right is your shop Settings. Let’s take a look at that next:  

 

From here, you can alter a number of basic settings for your shop. From left to right, the settings are:


Toggle Transaction Message - By turning this setting on, you will be informed whenever someone makes a purchase from a chest. While you might not want to know every time someone buys a stack of cobblestone from you, this might be handy if you’re looking to sell rarer, high-ticket items. Of course, how you run your shop is up to you!

Disable Buying - This will make it so players can no longer buy from your stock. Maybe you want a bit of time to readjust your shop settings or refill your stock. Perhaps you want to set up a selling market for collecting building resources from your neighbors looking to make a quick profit– this setting would be perfect for you!


Disable Selling - A pretty useful setting, you probably aren’t always going to be in the business of running a shop only for people to sell more stock back to you. You want to make sales yourself! By switching this off, you won’t have to worry about other players robbing your pockets blind by fixing you up with the materials you weren’t even looking for.


Shop Admins - Running a lucrative business or town will at times require a savvy executive to hire extra labor to run the stores for them. This setting will allow you to add your friends, townmates, or employees as admins to help access the admin settings for this chest so they can get on with the menial task of refilling stock while you’re taking a money bath Scrooge McDuck-style!


Hologram Rotation - Depending on how you want to customize your shop, you may want the floating hologram text to be in a different position than the default. This is the command for you. Here are some examples of different positions you can place your hologram text:

 


Shop buy/sell price - If you’re looking to edit the prices you had initially set when creating the shop, this is the way to do it. Left-click to edit the buying price, and Right-click to edit the sell price. Type the new amount in chat, and it will be edited. Remember, the market is always about knowing your target market prices!


Customize your hologram - This will permit you to add a special title line for your shop in case you want to spice up your marketing for your interested buyers/sellers. For my own example, why buy another marketeer’s cobblestone when you could buy from my luxury brand, Quabblestone? Buy it at your local nowhere today!

 



And That’s Pretty Much It!

 

This plugin is pretty straightforward, so do your best to build a marketplace that will attract customers across the server. Someday, you too might become a mogul if you’re willing to bargain for it! ;)
