Starter Guide

Congratulations, you have officially joined EarthPol! Welcome to a world unlike any other — a dynamic, player-driven Earth server where history, politics, economy, and exploration come alive on a 1:326 scale map of the real world. Whether you dream of building a mighty empire, founding a peaceful town, exploring uncharted wilderness, or shaping global events, EarthPol offers you a canvas limited only by your imagination.

Spawning​

When you first join EarthPol, you will be teleported to a random location on our 1:326 scale map of the Earth, which is divided into regions including Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Oceania, and South America. Visit our map here.

EarthPol Map

Upon spawning:

  • 🗺️ You can use /map to find your location on our interactive 3D map.
  • 🛡️ You are immune from mob damage for your first 24 hours — giving you time to settle in safely.
    (⚠️ Note: Players in the wild can still attack you!)
  • ✈️ Want to teleport to a different random location?
    Use /rtp to teleport randomly, or /rtp [continent] if you want to teleport to a specific continent.

When you spawn, you'll also receive a helpful starter kit:

  • ⛏️ Stone Pickaxe
  • 🪓 Stone Axe
  • 🍞 16 Bread

Basic Gameplay Overview​

🏕️ Towny Camps​

Included in your starter kit is a campfire, which can be used to create a Towny Camp.

A Towny Camp is a temporary, one-chunk protected claim where:

  • Only you can access the area.
  • PvP and griefing are disabled inside the camp.
  • Camps last 48 hours (but you can re-light your campfire to reset the timer).
  • You can only place a new camp once every 24 hours.

Creating a Towny Camp

When you place your campfire, you'll see a prompt:
"Would you like to make a Towny Camp?"
Simply click the /confirm button or type /confirm in chat to claim the area.

🏙️ Towns​

Once you're ready to settle permanently, you can join or create a Town!

Towns provide:

  • Permanent land claims (no expiration as long as upkeep is paid).
  • Full protection from PvP and griefing inside town land.
  • A community where you can build and collaborate.

Joining a Town

  • You can be invited to a town by another player.
  • Or, join an open town using /t join <town>.

Creating a Town

  • Requires 512 gold and an unclaimed area.

  • Confirm the creation by clicking /confirm or typing it manually.

Useful Town Commands

  • /t spawn — Teleport to your town's spawn.
  • /t invite <player> — Invite a player to your town.
