Navigating TerraTrove is easy and enjoyable when you’re familiar with our travel systems, community map, and respectful guidelines for exploring and building. Here’s everything you need to know to get around safely and smoothly.

1. Using the TerraTrove Map

🗺️ Exploring with the Server Map
Our online server map is your best friend for finding locations and planning your travels across TerraTrove. The map lets you track your position, locate important points of interest, and see player-built areas in real time.

🔗 Access the Server Map Here

How to Use the Map:

• Locate the Spawn Area: Spawn is a protected zone with a 500-block radius dedicated to community builds and shops. Please avoid setting up private builds within this area.
• Check Player Bases and Claims: The map shows player markers and other active builds, which helps you avoid settling too close to someone else’s territory. Always check markers before setting up nearby, or ask a staff member if you’re unsure about a location.

Using the map first will help you identify your destination, plan a safe travel route, and ensure you don’t accidentally build or settle in claimed areas.

2. Fast Travel via the Nether Hub

🛤️ Getting There Quickly with Nether Highways
Once you’ve found your destination on the map, our Nether Hub offers the fastest way to travel there. Located on the Nether roof at [0, 128, 0], the hub’s highways extend up to 1250 blocks in each cardinal direction, allowing quick access to distant areas in the Overworld.

Why Use the Nether Hub?

Because the Nether compresses distances, traveling here is much faster than in the Overworld. Using the Nether highways, you can reach far-off locations, distant player bases, and unique biomes more efficiently.

Building Off the Highways: If you want to add side paths or portals, please ensure they don’t obstruct main routes. This keeps travel smooth for everyone.

3. Respecting Bases, Claims, and Public Areas

⚠️ Be Mindful of Other Players’ Bases and Claims
To maintain a positive and cooperative environment, respect others’ builds and land claims. When setting up a new base or project, keep a respectful distance from existing structures, and avoid interacting with private farms or builds unless you have permission from the owner.

Key Reminders:

• 500-Block Spawn Area: The spawn area is reserved for community builds. Avoid placing personal builds within this 500-block radius unless you have staff approval.
• Check Before Building: Always check the projects-coords channel and markers on the live map, or reach out in chat if you’re uncertain whether an area is claimed.

By familiarizing yourself with the map, using the Nether Hub for efficient travel, and respecting player spaces, you’ll enjoy exploring TerraTrove while contributing to a welcoming community atmosphere. Safe travels, and happy exploring!

In this section, everything you need to know regarding spawn, such as key buildings & core mechanics, can be found right here!

Starter House

Located near spawn, there is a starter house (images shown below) located at [-20, 20].

The spawn house is a safe-haven for players, where they can sleep without the risk of being attacked by phantoms and chill out in general.

It's also worth noting that upon entering, there's a small area where you can play some music discs in a jukebox!

Blacksmith

The blacksmith is another important structure for new players, and was one of the first structures in spawn to be built. This building supplies newcomers with a fresh set of starter gear.

It is located at [-50, -30], and an image of the building is showcased below.

Upon entering the blacksmith, there will be a marked button that players can press to obtain some starter gear and resources. Please only press the button once.

Post Office

At spawn, one of the most important structures frequently used by other players to deliver items and belongings is the post office.

The office is a notable building, which is hard to miss, and is located at [-30, -40].

Images for the post office can be seen below.

The post office is, as you'd probably guess, an area where each player has their own kind of mailbox.

Items can be delivered to certain boxes in the event that a player may not be able to currently make trades with other players (obviously, there are many scenarios in which it would be used).

When you enter the post office, you will see a lectern with a book - Inside the book, you will see a list of players with a number next to their name. This number represents their PO box.

If you don't have a PO box, but would like to obtain one, check to see if there are any unassigned numbers first and put your name next to the corresponding number (you would also need to change the sign name on the box to your name). In the event that there are no more spaces, contact a staff member through a ticket and the team will work towards getting you a working PO box.

The Tree of Life

One of TerraTrove's most significant structures would be the Portal hub, connecting the Overworld to the Nether through what is often called 'The Tree of Life'.

This structure can be found at [-10, -60], and an image can be shown below.

When you go through the portal in the middle, it will take you to the Nether Hub, which is described more below.

Nether Hub

The Nether Hub is one of the other vital locations at spawn, which is used to cover long distances in the Overworld.

It is located at the portal in the Tree of Life, and an image can be seen below.

The Nether's portal tree resembles the Overworld's Tree of Life in the sense that it has a more Nether-Like feel to match the typical environments in the Nether.

In each main direction (North, East, South, and West), there's a 3-block wide ice path which extends +-1250 blocks on its respective axis. Within' less than a minute, you can traverse all the way to the end of the paths, which makes traversing long distances effortless and easy!

Shopping District

Around spawn, a shopping district is used to display and sell items to other players. The main currency is diamonds, and more information regarding our shopping and currency process can be found here.

Spawn Development

Staff members are constantly making changes to spawn. To see more information regarding this, check out the link here. Keep in mind that you have to be a part of the server to see this thread.

Public Projects

There is always a range of public projects that are being worked on in spawn, whether it's down to landscaping areas, obtaining a list of items, or many other things!

TerraTrove is available for both Java and Bedrock players on any device via crossplay. This section addresses issues related to using the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft on TerraTrove and will provide resources fix stated issues.

Useful Resource Packs:

• GeyserOptionalPack
  • GeyserMC alongside GeyserOptionalPack brings Bedrock Edition in-line with Java Edition via various features, bug fixes, and improvements. For more information, as well as a download link, visit here.

Issues Related to the Server:

• "End of Stream" Server Error
  • Caused by: Inconsistent network connection or experiencing connection issues for some time causing the game to continuously crash over a period of time even when no network connection issues are present. Can also be caused by sitting on player's heads whilst flying, as well as flying through previously unloaded chunks.
  • Fixes: Can be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to the server several times.
• /geyser offhand Not Working As Intended
  • Bedrock Edition does not support the use of items in your offhand (except for those in the native Bedrock Edition). The only use for this command is repairing gear that includes the mending enchantment.
• Connection-related Issues Using Console (Xbox and Playstation)
  • When accessing the server via console, please follow the guide here. If any errors continue to persist after following the guide instructions, please create a ticket via our discord server so the staff team can assist you further.
• Iron Trapdoor Glitch
  • There is currently a glitch with Bedrock Edition on Java Servers when you attempt to walk forward while touching an iron trapdoor, it won't let the player move. There is no fix available for this yet.
• Items Floating in Inventory While Crafting
  • In certain cases, when items are inserted into the crafting grid UI, the items will 'float' around and will often result in the crafting product going into the crafting grid UI as well. This issue is yet to be fixed--you can prevent crafting products from entering the crafting grid UI by switching from 'Pocket UI' to 'Classic UI' and then proceeding to craft.
• Visual Glitch Related to Enchanted Armor and Tools
  • Enchanted armor and tools can revert to a blocky texture instead of a detailed texture. Please make sure to update your game program if this issue persists.
• "Dressing Room" Skins and Using Marketplace Skins
  
  • Unfortunately, "dressing room" skins are not available when playing on the server, as the data is separate from their java counterparts. If you would like to change your default Steve character model, you will need to either import a custom skin or use a marketplace skin.
• Crossbow and Spectral Arrows Visual Changes
  
  • There are a few issues identified with crossbows when charging whole using rockets, as well as spectral arrows not applying a glowing visual effect around mobs. Unfortunately, there are currently no suitable fixes for these visual bugs.
• Inability to place mob heads
  • Currently, there is an issue in Bedrock Edition where heads cannot be placed on floors or walls; this issue is expected to be resolved soon. As a workaround, you can use dispensers or have a Java Edition player place the heads for you.
