Getting Started

Connect

Java Edition

Multiplayer → Add Server → paste the address. Use 1.21.x for the best experience. Older clients can usually connect through ViaVersion, but newer blocks and items may look wrong.

play.stampedemc.xyz

Bedrock Edition

Phone, console or Windows: Servers → Add Server, then enter the address and the port below. Bedrock players appear in game with a . in front of their name.

play.stampedemc.xyzPort 25603

Connection limits: at most 3 accounts can join from the same IP address, and VPN or proxy connections may be refused. If you see “The connection was denied”, turn the VPN off and try again.

First join

Accept the resource pack

You will be asked to download the StampedeMC pack (about 0.5 MB). It is required because it holds the WWII gun models and the vehicle models, and declining it disconnects you. If the download never starts, select the server in your list, click Edit, and set Server Resource Packs to Enabled.

Register a password

The server runs in offline mode, so a password is the only thing protecting your name. You spawn blinded and frozen until you log in. Type the password once:

/register <password> /login <password> /changepassword <old> <new>

6 to 32 characters. Don't reuse a password from anywhere else.
You have 2 minutes and 5 tries to log in before you are kicked.
If you rejoin within 60 seconds from the same connection, you stay logged in.

Grab the starter kit

Every new player starts with $5,000 and can claim the starter kit once: stone tools, 16 bread, 16 torches and a boat.

/kit starter/balance

Link your website account (optional)

You only need this for the store. Create an account on this site, open Account, start a link, then type the 8-character code in game.

/verify <code>

Leave spawn

You arrive in the Spawn world every time you log in. Spawn is a safe zone with no PvP, no damage and no hunger, and nothing there can be built or broken. The game itself is played on Earth, a 1:1000 map of the real world. Get there with a random teleport:

/rtpFree. Lands you on Earth 200–9,000 blocks from 0,0.

5 secWarm-up. Moving cancels it.

10 minCooldown between random teleports.

OpenUnclaimed wilderness: build and mine freely.

Pick your country. RTP lands anywhere, including next to other towns. If you want a particular place, find it on the live map and travel there. The map follows real geography: x runs west to east, z runs north to south, and 0,0 is in the Atlantic off West Africa.

Your first day

Set a home

Found somewhere good? Mark it. Everyone gets one home, and ranks add more.

/sethome <name>/home <name>/spawn

Found a town or join one

A town costs $250 and protects your builds from everyone outside it. Stand where you want the centre, run the command, then claim more chunks as you grow. Or ask an existing town for an invite.

/town new <name>/t claim/t deposit <amount>/town list

Upkeep is real. Every town pays $10 at new day (12:00 UTC). If the bank can't pay, the town is deleted along with its claims. Keep a few days of upkeep in the bank. The full rules are on the Towns & Nations page.

Make money

Sell what you mine and farm to the server shop, kill mobs for cash drops, and vote for the server every day for $5,000 per site.

/shop/sellall inventory/vote/ah

Arm up

WWII guns and explosives are sold in the Armory. Cars, boats, helicopters, planes and tanks are in the vehicle shop.

/armory/vehicles shop

Know the basics

PvP is on

PvP is on everywhere outside Spawn, including inside towns.
When another player kills you, 20% of your balance drops as cash for them to pick up.
There is no keep-inventory anywhere on Earth, siege zones included. Death drops everything.
Logging out within 60 seconds of a fight kills you. See the combat rules.

Stay alive

Thirst drains about 1% a minute. Drink water bottles; drinking straight from a river can poison you.
New players get 30 seconds of PvP protection after joining. Attacking someone ends it.
Items dropped when you die are reserved for your killer for 30 seconds.
Slimefun is fully unlocked. Open the guide with /sf guide.
