Continuing: How To: Play on a PVP Server

We're continuing yesterday's topic. There's a lot more you need to know about this kind of server. Over the next few weeks I'll be letting you guys know how to survive multiplayer Minecraft on the different kinds of servers.

I'm also adding a new feature to the blog.

From now on I'm going to pick a music track for you guys to listen to. You can play it while you read this blog. I'll try to match it up with the mood.

Here's today's music track:

This is Great and All, but I Need a House.


Houses are an important part of Minecraft. On some PVP servers they have hotel rooms for you to temporarily/permanently stay in. Others you're just on your own. For the last type, I recommend a house that looks like this:


There are several things to note about this house. One is this entrance. It is actually the bottom part of the home. Then there are ladders on the inside of the column. Then there are trapdoors on top of the ladders. Once you get in, there is a door leading to the bridge that leads to the bedroom where all personal belongings are held. Now, a person can still grief this home, but it will be an effort.

This home (and all homes) would be extremely easy to break into if it weren't for a system called locking. When you lock something, only people you specify can open it. Here's how to lock something:

1. Craft a sign.

2. Put it near the object you want to lock.

3. Type in: [PRIVATE] on the top bar just like I typed it (caps and all) and press enter.

4. Type in your username for Minecraft.

5. Tada.

That simple.

What About That /home Thing?


When you build a home, you may have to hunt for some stuff. That's when you use the /home feature to instantly return home. To set your home, simply type in /sethome and then test it out with /home.

That's basically the basics. Have fun!
