General Information

Opticraft is a non-PVP survival server. It is fitted with ranks, economy, and an anti-grief system to enhance your playing experience. Take the time and type /rules on the server for a list of our rules. All we ask is that you respect other players and follow the rules while on our server.

Our server has a multiple world system. The world you spawn in is the Guest world and is accessible by anyone. The other worlds include older Guest worlds, a Member+ world and a PVP arena world for private battles. To become a Member simply sign up on this website, you will automatically gain access to it! It is highly recommended you build on Member worlds as they are less likely to be griefed.

Protections (Land)

This server uses a plugin that allows players to buy stones that protect a given area allowing only the player, and whoever they choose, to modify blocks inside that area.

New players who register on these forums to gain the Member rank automatically get a free coal protection stone!

Coal Ore
This is the smallest protection stone we offer, it is very cheap and is useful for protecting small areas or buildings you intend to rent to other players.

Protection size: 11x11x11
Price: $750

Market signs example

Lapis Ore
This is the second largest protection stone we offer, for the size it protects the price is very reasonable. Use this to protect medium sized builds, 8 times the size of the coal protection stone.

Protection size: 21x21x21
Price: $6,000

Market signs example Diamond Ore
This is the largest protection stone we offer, it protects a very large area, 8 times the size of the lapis protection stone. Use this to protect large builds and whole towns.

Protection size: 41x41x41
Price: $45,000

Market signs example

You may also want to allow other players to build within the protection zones so they can help you build. To do this, you can use the following commands.

/ps allow <name> - Adds specified player to protection zone
/ps remove <name> - Removes specified player from protection zone
/ps removeall <name> - Remove specified player from all of your protection zones
/ps allowed - Lists all users allowed to build inside your protection zone

Once placed, protection stones can be broken and picked up so you can move them from place to place. They will not break forever!

Protections (Blocks)

Opticraft uses LWC to protect chests, doors and other personal items ingame. This plugin enables users to protect their items so that no one is able to steal from them or use them without permission.

By default any door, chest, furnace and trapdoor you place will automatically be protected so that only you can access it. However, sometimes you will want to allow other players to access your protections, or you may want to remove the protection altogether. Use the following commands to do just that!

/cmodify <name> - Allow someone else to access the protection.
/cmodify <name> - Remove someone's ability to access the protection.
/cremove - Remove the protection alltogether.
/cpassword <password> - Set a password on the protection.

In order to change channels, you can use the command /ch <name>, where name is the first letter OR name of the channel, for example: /ch g.

If at any time you feel overwhelmed by the chat, you can use /deafen to mute everyone besides staff members.

There are a number of other channel commands. To see an up to date list, simply type /ch help ingame.
