🆕 Getting Started
Your first minutes on PlanetSMP, explained in order.
You know right away what to do, and you do not lose your first build.
Your first minutes
- Connect to the address
PlanetSMP.com. Java and Bedrock play together. - Open your inventory. Armour, tools and food are already there.
- Watch the action bar. It counts down your newbie protection.
- Start the tour of spawn with
/tutorial. - Use
/rtpif you want a building spot far out. - Secure the spot with
/claimbefore you build your first house.
What you get at the start
- 1,800 coins starting balance
- A full set of leather armour
- Stone sword, stone pickaxe and stone axe
- 16 cooked beef
Newbie protection
You are protected for the first 24 hours. No player can damage you. Explosions and mobs leave you alone too. On top of that there is /noob protect for 4 hours. You can end the protection yourself at any time. The remaining time is shown in your action bar. Use that time to find a spot in peace.
Commands to start with
/tutorial- Takes you through spawn and the most important places.
/help- Shows the most important commands. Add a word for detail.Also:
/help claim, /help team /rules- Shows the server rules. Read them through once.
/news- Shows what has changed recently.
On phone and console
On phone and console you use the same address. Your name there starts with a dot, for example .PlayerName. Since 30 September 2026 every menu opens as a form. You tap an entry instead of clicking inside a chest. You type commands into the chat window as usual.
What often goes wrong
You build a house and blocks are missing the next day.
Without a claim the spot is open to everyone. Secure it with `/claim` before you build on.
Suddenly other players can damage you again.
Newbie protection ended after 24 hours. You are still safe at spawn, at the warps and in the market.
You cannot find your building spot again.
Open the live map in your browser. It shows you and every claim.
