The server has a permanent world (One that never changes, for claiming and making bases) and three extra frequently-resetting worlds (for looting and mining).
The Main World:
This is the world you spawn in when you first arrive! It is a regular overworld with a 15.000x15.000 border, where you can claim, adventure, make bases, farms, etc.
Extra Worlds:
The command /warp portalroom will bring you to a room with portals that lead to the Nether, the End, or the Mining world. Here is a brief overview of what you can expect of each extra world:
Click me!
The Mining World: The Mining world is perfect for gathering resources and looting without having to worry about other peopleâs claims, plus it resets every two weeks so it will never run dry of resources. It works a little like a wilderness, so there you cannot claim anything inside of it, and griefing/raiding is allowed.
The End: The End can be accessed from the portal at /warp portalroom without having to find a stronghold. It resets every two weeks so there is plenty of chance to get some epic loot! The enderdragon is respawned every time the world is reset, but can also be respawned using end crystals (though a player-spawned dragon wonât drop an egg). Because it resets, claiming is disabled in the End. Griefing is allowed in this world.
The Nether: The Nether can be accessed from the portal at /warp portalroom or from any nether portal. Like the other worlds, it resets every two weeks. Because our economy is based on gold, nether gold ore has been removed and piglin/zombified piglin drops and nether loot have been altered. Claiming is disabled and griefing is allowed in this world.
When entering Survival for the first time you will likely want to start finding a place to set up your claim as well as collect some materials, as well as setting up teleports so you can find things easily!
Click me!
You can quickly go outside by using the command /rtp, and you will teleport to a random place on the map. You can use /rtp as many times as you want (with the exception of a short cool-down) in order to find certain materials you may need such as wood or food.
Setting Homes:
When you find a place you particularly like, you may want to set a home to return to that place later (especially your main base). You can use /sethome (home name) to create a personal teleport you can return to at any time by typing /home (home name). The number of homes you can set depends on your rank.
Itâs also possible to create your own warps on the server using a warp totem. These are created by placing a beacon on top of a block of obsidian, and following the commands in chat to name it.
Click me!
You can have up to three warp totems. Totems cost a flat payment of 3000 gold each.
You are able to set the amount it charges a person every time they warp to your totem, and can change the name of your own totem any time you wish. Both of these options can be found by right clicking your totem in the warp totem menu:
To use the warp totems, right click the beacon on the totem and select which warp you would like to travel to. Totems can only be travelled to from another totem.
Totems are sorted by the amount of âHITSâ or uses. The more popular a totem is, the higher it will be on the warp menu!
*It is discouraged to âfarmâ hits, as it makes it unfair for other players.
When you find a place youâd like to settle down and create a base, you want to claim that area to protect your land and valuables from other players.
Click me!
Claiming protects your land and prevents other players from building/breaking/stealing from it! Moderators are NOT RESPONSIBLE for the griefing of any UNCLAIMED land. You may only claim land in the main world, not the extra worlds. To select your land, imagine a box around the area you want to claim, then you can either:
All methods work the same. To claim the area you select you must have enough claim blocks in your claim block balance, which shows to the right of your screen. If you donât have enough blocks for that selection, you will be offered the option to buy the extra blocks you donât already have with gold from your balance. You can also just claim a smaller area for the time being. As a starting player you already have at least 300 claim blocks, enough for a small-sized house. From there, you can start gaining more claim blocks and/or gold.
There are 2 types of claims you can make. Normal Claims, and Clan Claims.
Normal claims are made by individual players. You are free to add/remove whomever you like. This option is great for solo players or players who like to play with people who are not in their clan.
Clan Claims are special group claims that are shared by the members of your clan, and they have some very unique and special perks! See the Clans section for more information
Other Claim Features:
- Have an abandoned claim right outside your base that is preventing you from expanding? This season, you have the option to appeal a claim through the normal ticket process. If moderators agree that the claim is NOT significantly built, and has been abandoned by an inactive player for an EXTENDED period of time, you may have a chance for its removal.
When appealing a claim, please make sure to include the co-ordinates of both your own claim and the claim you would like removing.
Blacklisted playersâ claims are subject for removal at any time, but normally banned players will NOT have their claims removed, nor any of their items deleted.
You can now create Sub Claims within your existing claim where you can configure custom settings and add members to just that region of your claim!
Click me!
You define a region for a subclaim using either of the following methods:
Once youâve selected the region you can do /subclaim confirm twice to set your subclaim.
You can edit your subclaim using /subclaim edit while standing inside of your subclaim.
Eventually, you will likely be wanting to edit your claim. This is pretty simple to do, just type /claim edit or select the claims option in /menu (clan claims are edited by clan officials with a separate command, /clanmenu).
Within the /claim edit GUI, you can do the following actions:
Click me!
-
Expand and reduce your claim
-
Add/Remove members and assistants
-
Set Greeting/Farewell messages (displayed when entering/exiting claim area)
-
Enable/Disable Mob Spawning
-
Delete the claim entirely (You receive 90% of spent claim blocks for that claim back)
-
Set the claimâs name (You are entering name/You are exiting name)
You can also add players to your claim by standing in the claim you wish to add them to and typing /claim addmember [playername].
If someone is causing you issues and you would like to remove them from your claim, you have the option to /claim kick (to remove them to your claim border) or /claim ban (to prevent them from entering your clan until you unban them).
Expanding your existing claim is a common thing for players to do, and itâs simple to do. In the claim edit GUI you will be able to see all of your existing claims. Just click on whatever claim you want to expand, and then it will ask which direction you wish to expand in (north, south, east or west), and whether thatâd be expanded 1, 5 or 10 blocks.
To check with direction you want to expand in, open up your debug menu by pressing F3 (Or Command+F3 in some cases). Within all that information, youâll see a section that looks like the displayed image below. In the red outline you see the current direction, based on where youâre currently looking. Thatâs how you figure out which direction is which.
The amount of claims you can have depends on your rank, but most players start with the ability to create 3 claims. You can also purchase more claims on the MunchyMC store: shop.munchymc.com
While having your friends added to your claim is almost a given, you may not want them digging around in all of your chests. With a plugin, you have the ability to easily set a sign that restricts certain chests to only specifically stated people.
Click me!
Itâs simple: place a sign onto the chest or door you wish to lock (without shifting) and it should automatically place a lock sign on it.
If you want to add more people who can access the chest/door, right click the sign and type the command /lockette [line #] [playername]. If you wish to add more than two players, you can place another sign on the door/chest in the same way which will say [More Users]. Add players to this in the same way as you would to the original sign
Hereâs a quick clip of how it should go:
And to add other players:
The economy of Survival is based off of Gold. Gold is used to trade with other players for goods, expand your claim if so desired, used to bid in auctions, and maintain a Mall shop (more info on that below). That being said, you can gain gold in these ways:
Click Me!
-
Mine and smelt gold ore you find
-
Sell items in auctions
-
Receive gold directly from players
-
Have players buy items in your Mall shop
When you mine gold, and have it in your inventory, smelt the ore into ingots, and you can use /deposit (amount) to add gold to your account. Use /withdraw (amount) if you ever need to take gold from your account. Use /pay (playername)(amount) to transfer gold to another player.
As mentioned, auctioning is a great way to put your items up for sale for other players to buy and potentially generate quick money. Hereâs how to do it:
Click me!
First off, make sure you are holding the item you wish to auction in your hand! Then use the following command:
/auc (starting price) (increment).
The starting price is the minimum amount of gold you wish to set on the auction. The increment is the minimum amount a bidder must bid, in order to set another bid. For example:
/auc 10 3
The minimum starting bid has to be at least 13. The next minimum is 16, and so on.
/auc 5 5
The minimum starting bid has to be at least 10. The next minimum is 15, and so on.
Of course, there will be cases in which no one buys your item, and so you receive it back. You may need to set the pricing lower in order to entice players more into buying your item. It all depends on whoâs online, and whether or not someone may need the particular item youâre auctioning.
*If you want to showcase an item without auctioning it, you may perform the command â/showitemâ while holding the item you wish to showcase to the server. Players cannot take the item, they simply have the option to look at it in chat! This is a great way to flex that OP sword you made, the netherite you just mined, or anything you wish!
You have a 5 minute personal cooldown between showing items
The server has a global cooldown of 2 minutes between showcased items.
Another surefire way to generate some money is to set up a shop. To purchase your own shop, you will need to visit the mall by typing /warp mall.
Click me!
There are 2 sections of the mall. The Normal shops (#28-111), and the VIP shops (#1-27). You can quickly travel to a specific mall shop number by doing the command â/mall menuâ or you may follow the directions within the mall spawn.
All shops can be rented one week at a time, for a maximum of two weeks. If you do not renew your rent every week, you will lose your shop!
VIP Shops cost 200 gold per week to rent. They are far larger than normal shops, and have a prime location, located on the first floor of the mall.
Normal Shops cost only 100 gold per week to rent. They are the standard mall shop size, and are located on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor of the mall.
Maintaining a shop can be very expensive, so itâd be a good idea to have a decent reserve of gold on your hands before purchasing.
Now that you have your shop, you can begin to set up chests to either sell to players, or buy from players. Setting up these chests is a process very similar to locking chests.
Mall Menu:
You can easily navigate your way around the mall with the new Mall Menu!
You can open the Mall Menu by typing /mall menu. Here you will find lots of information on each mall shop, can teleport to them by clicking the icon, and can even search for shop names, owners or keywords in descriptions using the search feature.
You can customize your shop in the Mall Menu by using the /myshop GUI. In this GUI you can change your shop name, icon, description and more!
Buy/Sell Chests:
To begin, letâs say you want to sell diamonds to players in your shop. You want to label the chest as a Buy chest, because players will be buying the item displayed on the sign; it seems kindaâ backwards to some. If you wanted to buy diamonds instead, you can have players sell diamonds straight to you from the chest. The chest would be a Sell chest because players are selling items to you.
The format for setting up a shop sign is as following:
Selling items to people
Buy
Price of Item
Item Name
Quantity
Buying items from people
Sell
Price of Item
Item Name
Quantity
When setting up chests meant to buy items from players, be mindful that you have the gold to pay them, and that you donât end up buying more than you anticipated, as thereâs no limitâplayers can sell to you until you either run out of Gold to pay them, or the chest becomes full.
Example:
(Creating a Shop Chest to sell 1 Diamond for 50 Gold)
NPCs:
Douglas sells two items:

Quests have been completely revamped in S4! Quests are activities you can perform within normal survival gameplay to win special prizes, such as mini crates! To find out info about quests in game head to /warp quests
Click me!
You can now start Quest Storylines by going to either Frikka, Bjarke or Hillevi, they can be found in the house located at /warp quests.
If you click any of them, they will give you some story dialogue in chat followed by a quest, and you will be able to follow along on the adventure they give you. The choices you make along the way will determine what quests and bosses you get, and ultimately which ending you arrive at!
You can now also get Boss Fights as part of your quest adventure! You can either do these solo or with a team (maxiumum 5 members).
To assemble a team you can do /team in chat to see all the sub-commands!
Upon completing a quest or you will receive a reward and you will be instructed to return to the NPC that you started a storyline with to start a new quest. You can view your current quest, storyline, completed endings and boss fight stats with /quests
Completing all of the possible endings in a storyline will get you an extra exciting reward - a baby dragon pet and an exclusive tag!
(You must complete all boss fights without using any of the difficulty modifiers in order to get the dragon/tag prize)
Once you have completed all of the bosses in an NPC storyline you also unlock freeplay mode for those boss fights! This allows you to start the boss fights without having to reach them in the quest storyline each time. Freeplay mode is very similar to story mode, but any of your potential team members will also have to unlocked freeplay mode for those bosses in order to join your team.
Want to find out who has finished the most quests in the server? Do /questtop to see!
Clans are a great way to hang out with your friends on the survival server! They cost tokens to set up and you can level/rank them up to get exciting perks and features.
Clans also have a new special feature - Clan Claims! These are special claims for all clan members which have unique perks and features, including flight and holograms!
For more information on creating and using clans, go to the Clan Help Page
For more information on creating and using clan claims, check out this Guide to Clan Claims and Perks
Munchy Survival has togglable PvP! This is toggled on and off using /pvp - when enabled, you can give and receive PvP damage, when disabled, you canât do either.
If you die due to PvP damage, you will automatically keep your inventory! You can still lose your inventory if you die to other forms of damage while your PvP is toggled on, so be cautious.
There is also a combat timer to prevent people from toggling off their PvP in the middle of a fight.
McMMO is a common plugin that many survival-type servers utilize to provide a greater experience and goal for players aside from the standard vanilla survival genre.
Click me!
Basically, McMMO allows you to level up skills, which are mostly typical tasks a player would do normally (Such as woodcutting, mining, fishing, brewing, and many more). Each skill provides unique abilities once a certain level is reached, unlocking bonuses for practicing that skill. For example, leveling up your Acrobatics skill will increase the chance that you will not take damage after falling. A higher Mining level means that you have a greater chance of mining double the resource from a single block.
Thereâs really so much to learn about McMMO that it would be pointless to try to explain it all here. Itâs so big, in fact, that thereâs a whole wiki dedicated to the plugin. You can learn everything about all the skills offered, tactics for leveling up, and abilities unlocked on the wiki.
Whatâs a server without ranks to help keep it alive? Here are all the benefits you can receive from purchasing a rank:
Click me!
Global Ranks
The server global ranks of Elite and Legend also give perks on survival! These include extra claims, extra homes and keeping your inventory on death. Legend also gives you the ability to use colours in chat!
Hereâs a handy image that tells you all the color codes you can use:
Purchase ranks from the store at shop.munchymc.com!
Host Rank
Host Rank is a new rank assigned to people who are in charge of hosting Events on the server!
Crates are a favorite feature from Season 2! Keys to open specialty crates can be purchased from the MunchyMC store and contain all kinds of exciting things.
Click me!
There are currently 4 different types of crates:
Mini Crates, Regular Crates, Seasonal Crates and Champions Crates.
A survival server would be boring without events, which is why we have plenty!
The staff and players host their own events all the time and Season 4 brings even more!
This season introduces Community Events and the Championship Hall!
Click me!
Staff/Player Events
These usually take place at custom built events, and will be for a variety of prizes or just for fun. Bigger tournaments or events are often advertised on the forums or in the discord, so you have plenty of time to practice and prepare.
Often, we hold build contests where players are challenged to create a masterful build that follows a determined theme. These competitions can be fierce, which is why we often allow players to work with other players, depending on the event. Winners can get keys, ranks, or exclusive particles! The announcements for these will be listed on our forums and our discord, so keep your eyes peeled.
Community Events
Work together with the Survival community in the newly introduced Community goals and Community events! Community goals are tasks which players have to come together to contribute towards its completion! As soon as it has been accomplished, the Community event would be scheduled to the nearest weekend. Community events set the stage for epic battles where you fight either with other players or a boss!
Championship Hall
You can find everything you need to know about the Championship hall in the post below:
Guide to Survival's Championship Hall
Marriage
For those of you who are suckers for romance, survival has the ability for players to marry each other! Propose to your beloved (or bestie) using /propose [player] and get them to accept using /proposal accept [player]. If it doesnât work out, you can divorce using /divorce [player]. Marriage allows you to insta tp to each other, give each other gifts remotely, set and use shared homes, heal each other from afar and kiss each other mwah. Itâs cute but cringe. Who knows why, but you can also marry yourselfâŚ
That is just about the entire basics of the Survival server. I hope you learned something new that will help you with your survival experience. Any suggestions are welcome!
