Getting started on MCATLAS

Shutdown

MCATLAS has been shutdown as of Dec. 2021.

Joining

Connect to MCATLAS with play.mcatlas.net. Add this as a server to your Minecraft Multiplayer list.

After Joining

When you first log on to MCATLAS, you're spawned randomly on a map of the Earth. You can locate where on Earth you are by viewing the dynmap or by typing /whereami in-game to see where you are related to places in real life.

MCATLAS features Towns and Nations using the popular plugin, Towny. You're encouraged to either join an existing Town or create your own. There is no other way to protect land other than towns.

You can teleport around to public towns with /t spawn <town name>.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with the rules!

Economy

MCATLAS has a unique economy based on gold ingots. There are no player-based banks or vaults to store them in. The only banks that exist are Town and Nation banks. So keep them in a safe place (like a locked chest).

Joining an Existing Town

Say you want to just get started and not worry about running your own Town. Joining an existing Town is a great option and can really help you get started on MCATLAS.

In order to join an existing Town, you must ask around in the community. A Town mayor or assistant has to invite you to their town. Towns are always seeking new players because it allows the Town mayor to expand with more claims.

Creating a Town

You've decided you want to create your own town. Great! It will cost you, however.

Creating a town costs 100 gold ingots which you must have in your inventory at the time of creation. To create a town, use the command /t new <townname>. It will deduct the 100 gold ingots from your inventory automatically as a result of creating your town.

Make sure to have some extra gold, because it costs 2 gold a day to upkeep your town! Use /t deposit <amount> to deposit your gold into the town bank to pay for upkeep.

Creating a Nation

You've decided you want to create your own Nation. Great! It will cost you, however.

Creating a nation costs 1000 gold ingots which you must have in your inventory at the time of creation. To create a nation, you must already be a mayor for an existing town; also, to use the command /n new <nationname>. It will deduct the 1000 gold ingots from your inventory automatically.

Make sure to have some extra gold, because it costs 25 gold a day to upkeep your nation! Use /n deposit <amount> to deposit your gold into the nation bank to pay for upkeep.
