Join Message

A join message announces you when you first log in.

Use /joinmessage to open the window. Click on the left block or right block to select the join message category (and join message) you want to equip. Make sure it's unlocked! Additional pages of messages can be accessed by clicking on the white arrow.

To remove a join message, click the white [ − ] button at the bottom of the main /joinmessage screen.

Name Gradients and Colors

Change your name color in chat by doing /nick or /nickname or /nickgradient or /gradient.

If you are a Dragon rank, you can also customize your prefix title [ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ] as well. Do this by using /prefix #hexcode:#hexcode:#hexcode:#hexcode:#hexcode:#hexcode (up to six colors). Select your hex codes from any hex code color picker, like Birdflop RGB.

Chat Colors

In the Mineseed chat, you can customize your chat color once you unlock from many choices! Type the command /chatcolor to open the menu. Pick from a variety, or create your own in the Mineseed store. Other colors can be won through crates (including the daily rewards crate).

Glows

Glows make your avatar have a color around your skin. They are equipped from /eglow. Select solid colors from the main menu, or click the enchanted book and select special glows. You can make glows blink or stay solid.

Tags

Tags appear after your username. In this example, estherium's tag is [ᴅᴜᴄᴋʟɪɴɢ]. You can equip unlocked tags by doing /tags. You can win custom tags by winning build competitions. Other tags can be won through crates, the soul shop, the token shop, and more.

Pins

Pins are small icons that can appear after your username in chat and in the tab screen (for java users). You can equip a pin by doing /pins and selecting an unlocked one in the menu. You can win custom pins by winning build competitions, or purchasing them from the Mineseed store. Other pins can be won through crates, the soul shop, the token shop, and more.

Wings

Wings, or back bling are just that--a cosmetics that you can put on your back. Hold the wings in your active hand, and do /wings or /backbling to put them on and off.

You can get wings from the goodies crate, monthly crates, and the /store. Occasionally, people will also sell them on /ah, especially after monthly crates come out.

Examples of some wings in the game.

Troubleshoot my litematica?

Litematica is allowed on mineseed. You can use easy place, but NOT print mode.

Litematica is great to add beautiful builds and create map art on the server. You may use litematica in easy place mode, but not printer mode.

You can learn about how to use litematica in their wiki.

Toggle Tool

Pressing M + T on your keyboard at the same time will be your default hotkeys to disable your litematica tool (stick by default). This will allow you to use rewards crate keys at /warp rewards.

Alternately, change your tool from a stick to something else:

Easyplace and Mineseed

Because Mineseed has the convenience of having our minimum item prices in-game, this can cause litematicas easy place to misbehave, following the steps below will get you back on the road to your building journey in no time.

Method 1:

Method 2:

Run the following command in-game /price toggle (You can run this again to turn prices on blocks back on after you have finished building if you desire)

Keep my villagers from dying?

In an effort to give everyone an optimized playing experience, we do have mob caps on many of the mobs in the game, including villagers. You can have up to 10 villagers in 1 chunk (do F3 G to see chunk lines).

To make sure they do not die:

Your villagers may also lose their AI (their movements) if they are in a space that is 2x2x2 or smaller. This is to help with optimizing lag on the server. They will still retain the ability to trade with them.

Get a free rank/Join a Guild?

/guild

Treat yourself to a free rank on the server by doing /guild. We have 3 different guilds to pick from:

Archer Rank

The archer rank will give you an [ARCHER] prefix tag in chat! You will also get access to:

Knight Rank

The knight rank will give you a [KNIGHT] prefix tag in chat! You will also get access to:

Fairy Rank

The fairy rank will give you a [FAIRY] prefix in chat! you will also get access to:

Use and Access my Player Vaults

/pv # | /vault #

Player vaults are additional storage that are available wherever you go, similar to your inventory.

Each player vault is the same size as a double chest (54 inventory spots). You can put anything in them that you can normally put in your inventory.

To access them, simply type /pv # or /vault #, where the # is which player vault you want to access. Premium ranks have anywhere between 1 and 12 player vaults.

Make a Warp

To create a warp, you will need at least $25K.

On Java

In the /warps window, click the red bed.

It will open a window that has a crafting table at the bottom. Click the crafting table.

In the chat window, you will be directed to write the name of your warp in chat. Just type the name of your warp. You do not need any commands. It will not send it as a message to everyone. Just type the name of your warp into the chat window.

Once you do this, you will be prompted to confirm warp creation (and get charged $25K). Clicking the green button will send you a notification in chat:

You can then return to the /warps red bed window. Your warp will now appear in one of the blocks above the crafting table. Hover over the warp to confirm the name, and click on it to manage the warp settings.

On Bedrock

In the /warps window, select Create warp.

In the next window, enter your warp's name and click Submit.

You will receive a confirmation screen that looks like this. click Create.

Change settings for your warp by going back to the /warps menu and clicking Your Warps.

Create A Sign Shop

Please note that all chest and sign shop prices must be equal to or more than the prices in the Official Price Guide.

Teleport around

/rtp

The simplest way to teleport around the world is to use /wild or /rtp.

With the warlock and dragon rank, you can select specific biomes to teleport to. Read the instructions on that here.

If you're on bedrock or you prefer to type full commands, try

Claim Land?

Make sure to do /kit claim and check out our Claims page!

Get a claim near mine moved?

On Mineseed, we recommend building your base at least 200 blocks away from the nearest claim. You can check this by doing /gnear, which will list all the claims near where you are, and /gtoggle which will show you red particles where claim edges exist.

Claims will only be removed if your claim was there first. First come, first served.

If someone does still build around you, there are some options:

  1. Kindly ask the player to move their base, since you were there first. Please ask a staff member to help if you cannot be kind. We do not tolerate toxicity.
  2. If the base is claimed, please open a discord ticket in #support and provide your username, the coordinates of the claim in question, and who it belongs to.

An admin will take a look at your ticket and use the following to determine eligibility for removal of the claim:

If these criteria are not met, we will address the each situation on a case by case basis.

Get Back to My Claim

Maybe you accidentally met your end to a skeleton or zombie. Or you thought that beds set a spawn point in the SMP. Either way, you are not able to find your home! Did you /sethome ? If yes, do /home. If not, read more here...

Get more claim blocks?

There are many ways to get claim blocks on Mineseed.

  1. Do /wb = 50 blocks per person
    (welcome back people who join the server)
  2. Do /welcome = 100 blocks per person
    (welcome people who join the server for the first time)
  3. /rewards = 1,250 blocks daily with extra bonuses at the end of each week)
  4. actively play gain up to 200 blocks a day
    (afk or idling does not count!)
  5. Use a claim voucher:
    - available in /soul shop as a part of the rotation (voucher for 250 blocks, with a total of 15 vouchers each time it's in the rotation)
    - available in the daily rewards crate (voucher for up to 1,000 blocks)
    - available from the daily rewards crate villager at /warp crates (35 daily reward coins for a voucher for up to 10,000 blocks)

Buy Custom Heads

You can get custom heads to help spruce up builds, change your appearance, and more. The head database can be accessed at /hdb or /heads. It is available to anyone with the Druid premium rank and above. You can purchase the Druid rank permanently from our store or temporarily through the mineseed shop /msm on the server.

Once you complete the /heads command, it will open a gui with a categorized library of heads that you can choose from different alpha/number options to heads of active players and all manner of decorations for your builds to add more customization.

You can also search for specific heads by doing /hdb search whatever-you-want

Edit Armor Stands

Armor stands are a great way to create and pose an NPC of your very own. This is available to anyone with the Rogue premium rank (temporary or permanent) or with the Panda /ranks.

First, find yourself an armor stand (you can build one with 6 sticks and 1 smooth stone slab) and place it down.

Then, put a flint in your active toolbar slot and click anywhere. It will open up the armor editing window:\

Hovering over each of the items in this menu will allow you to adjust your armor stand:

Customizing Your Armor Stand

  1. Hold the editing tool (piece of flint) in your main hand.
  2. Left or right click away from an armor stand to open menu.
  3. Select the labeled menu options.
  4. Left click the armor stand with the edit tool in hand to apply those options.
  5. Right click instead of edit in reverse!

Tips

  1. Press the "Swap Item in Hands" key (default F) while holding the edit tool to target a specific armor stand, if other armor stands are in the way.
  2. You can apply Nametags to armor stands. You use the & symbol to make colored names.
  3. You can use crouch + scroll wheel while holding the edit tool to change Axis without opening the menu

For more information, read the Armor Stand Editor

Use an Item Renamer

/warp how2rename

  1. Go to https://www.birdflop.com/resources/rgb/ or https://minecraft.menu/minecraft-rgb-generator

  2. Use the menu there to create your custom item

  3. Copy the code that it gives you (the stuff in the red rectangle in the above screen shot)

  4. Go back to Mineseed

  5. Make sure that you have the item renamer in your inventory and make sure you are holding the item you want to rename

  6. Do /rename code (paste the code there)
    /rename &#FFFFFFE&#FFFBF0x&#FEF6E1a&#FEF2D3m&#FEEEC4p&#FEEAB5l&#FDE5A6e &#FDDD88T&#FDD97Ae&#FCD46Bx&#FCD05Ct &#F7B268G&#F5A36Do&#F29473e&#F08579s &#EB6785H&#E9588Ae&#E64990r&#E43A96e

  7. Enjoy!

Add Color to Signs

Two different ways, two different outcomes

You can add colors to signs in two different ways.

Option 1: Dyes and Glow Squid Ink

Click on a sign with a dye color of your choice.

Click on a sign with a glow squid ink to make the sign brighter.

The benefit of this option is that you can color sign shop signs, which cannot use the second option.

Option 2: Commands

The benefit of using commands is that you can add more than one color to a sign, and even could do more than one color on each line of a sign.

To use the command colors, do command space text (example: [&1 dark blue text] would show dark blue text that says dark blue text)

Any colors with * means that it only works on bedrock versions of Minecraft (and not our java version server).

Color Code
black &0
dark blue &1
dark green &2
dark aqua &3
dark red &4
dark purple &5
gold &6
grey &7
dark grey &8
blue &9
green &a
aqua &b
red &c
light purple &d
yellow &e
white &f
minecoin gold* (this also does not display on Playstation) &g
quartz* &h
iron* &i
netherite* &j
redstone* &m
copper* &n
gold* &p
emerald* &q
diamond* &s
lapis* &t
amethyst* &u

Formatting Commands

Name Code Works in Bedrock?
bold &l (L, but lowercase) yes
strikethrough &m no
underline &n no
