MagnoliaMC Wiki

Everything you need to settle in, pick a path, and make the most of Magnolia, a long-term, community-focused survival world. Flip through the chapters below, or use the arrows to turn the page.

Getting Started

Magnolia is survival-first and built for the long haul. There is no need to rush. Find a spot that feels right, claim it, and start building your corner of the world.

Your first session

Settle & protect

  • /rtp to find a place to settle
  • /claim your land before building anything valuable
  • /sethome to save your base

  • Join the Discord for events and updates
  • /help any time you need a hand
Keep the server resource pack enabled. It powers Magnolia's custom cosmetics, wraps and placeable cosmetics!

Worlds & Travel

The Overworld is where most players build, trade and explore. The Nether, the End, new structures and seasonal content open up as the community grows the Magnolia Tree, so watch announcements for the current stage of the season.

/spawnReturn to the server spawn.
/rtpRandomly teleport into the wilderness, or open the RTP menu.
/backReturn to your previous location when available.
/warpList every warp, or open the warp menu.
/warp <name>Travel directly to a named warp.
/tpa <player>Ask to teleport to another player.
/tpahere <player>Ask a player to teleport to you.
/tpacceptAccept a pending teleport request.
/tpdenyDeny a pending teleport request.

Claims & Homes

Claims protect the area you build in. Claiming early is strongly recommended, before you place storage, farms or anything valuable. Griefing, stealing and building in another player's area is never allowed, even on unclaimed land, but your claim is still your best first line of protection.

Claim your land

Use /claim at your location, then /claimpermissions to choose exactly who may build, use and access it. /help covers the full claim toolkit.

Build respectfully

Do not claim or build right beside another player's home without consent. Leave room for everyone to expand.

Trust with care

Only give claim access to players you genuinely know. Staff cannot always reverse mistakes caused by trusting someone.

Managing your claims

/claimCreate a claim from your golden shovel selection.
/claimlistView your claims and remaining claim blocks.
/claimblocksCheck your claim block balance.
/claimpermissionsOpen the menu to manage who may build, use and access the claim.
/claimban ban <player>Ban a player from the claim you are standing in.
/claimexplosionsToggle explosions inside the claim you are standing in.
/childclaimToggle child-claim (subdivision) creation mode.
/resizeResize the claim you are standing in.
/transferclaim <player>Transfer ownership of a claim to another player.
/transferpet <player>Give the pet you are looking at to another player.
/unclaimRemove the claim you are standing in.
/trappedTeleport out of a claim you are stuck inside.

Homes & storage

/sethome <name>Save your current location as a home.
/home <name>Teleport to a saved home.
/homesView your saved homes.
/delhome <name>Delete a saved home.
/enderchestOpen your ender chest from anywhere (also /ec).
Your number of homes and player warps scales with your rank. Heading away for a while? Open a ticket, as claims left inactive for a long time may be reviewed.

Affinities

Affinities are Magnolia's playstyle system. Instead of forcing one survival path, each Affinity specialises in the kind of Minecraft you enjoy, with a signature active ability, base passives and drawbacks, and its own skill tree. Everyone starts as a Human with no bonuses. Open /affinities to view and choose your path. The in-game GUI is always the most accurate source for exact values.

The seven paths

Skill trees

On top of those base stats, every Affinity has a six-node skill tree: a root, three branches, an advanced node and a capstone. Nodes are tagged Economic, Mobility, Combat or Utility, and cost 1 to 5 skill points (14 SP to fully complete a tree). Here is the Arcanist tree as an example:

1 SPApprentice Focus, the root every other skill builds on
1 SPEfficient Brewing, faster brewing with fewer wasted ingredients
2 SPMana Well, cheaper enchanting and brewing services

3 SPBattle Mage, weave offensive magic into melee
5 SPArchmage, the capstone and mastery of every discipline

Earning skill points & ranks

Play in your Affinity's style to earn Affinity XP (AXP). Banking enough AXP raises your Affinity rank, and each rank-up grants a skill point plus Petals, six skill points and 1,125 Petals across the full climb.

0 AXPBeginner, starting rank
1,000Apprentice, +1 skill point and 50 Petals
2,500Intermediate, +1 skill point and 75 Petals

25,000Grandmaster, +1 skill point and 500 Petals
Affinity quests add bonus rewards on top: vanilla XP, random enchanted books, and occasionally Petals. Use /affinity skills for your tree, /affinity quests for quests, /affinity info for your active ability and passives, and /affinity reset to switch paths (first reset is free, then costs Petals).

The Magnolia Tree

The Magnolia Tree is the heart of the server's shared progression. Rather than unlocking everything at once, the community grows the Tree together, and as it develops it can open world access, server-wide buffs, events, structures, festivals and seasonal milestones for everyone.

/magnoliatreeView the Tree's current stage and contribution progress.
/magnoliatree commit <amount>Commit Petals toward the Tree to help it grow.
A farmer, a miner, a trader and an explorer all feed the same goal. Stages and rewards change as Magnolia updates, so check the Tree in-game for current requirements.

Economy & Shops

Magnolia runs on two currencies. Dollars are the everyday economy currency for trading, shops and the Auction House. Petals are a special progression currency earned through gameplay, the Tree, quests, ranks and rewards, and spent on exclusive items and cosmetics.

The shopping district, reached through the warp menu, is the main place to visit player-made stores. The Auction House lets you buy and sell even while other players are offline, and your own player warps help people find your shop or build.

Money & Petals

/balCheck your Dollar balance (also /balance).
/pay <player> <amount>Send Dollars to another player.
/petalsCheck your Petal balance.
/petalspay <player> <amount>Send Petals to another player.

Shops & selling

/shopOpen the server shop, or jump to a category page.
/sellSell the item in your hand (/sell all sells everything sellable).
/sellguiOpen a window and drop items in to sell them.
/ahBrowse the Auction House (also /auction).
/ah sell <price> [amount]List the item in your hand on the Auction House.
/ordersOpen the buy-order marketplace to buy or fulfil requests.
/playershopCreate and manage chest shops (also /pshop).
/districtBrowse and rent a plot in the shopping districts.

Player warps

/pwBrowse player warps to find shops and builds.
/pw createCreate a player warp at your location.
The economy is player-driven: gather, trade, run a shop and set up a player warp. Price fairly, describe items honestly, and never scam. The number of player warps and Auction House listings you can hold grows with your rank.

Teams & PvP

Teams are for players who want to build, organise and play together, with their own members, alliances, roles, homes, spawn and private chat.

/team create <name>Create a team.
/team invite <player>Invite a player to your team.
/team join <team>Accept a team invitation.
/team leaveLeave your current team.
/team sethome <name>Set a shared team home.
/team home <name>Teleport to a team home, or list them.
/team ally <team>Request or accept an alliance.
/team chatToggle private team chat.
/team rolesCustomise your team's roles and their permissions.
/team listBrowse every team on the server.
PvP is opt-in. Toggle your own status with /pvp, and fight at the designated arena via /warp pvp. Do not lure players into traps, attack people who have not agreed to PvP, or turn a land or shop dispute into harassment.

Crates & Voting

Crates reward cosmetic and useful items, and never give an unfair gameplay advantage. Visit the crate area with /warp crates, then use your keys.

Tulip Crate

Wearable cosmetics like wings, hats, backpacks, and more to give your character a unique look!

Rose Crate

Decorative cosmetics like plushies and decoration to spice up your builds!

Magnolia Crate

A seasonal, exclusive armour set with enchantments!

Using crates & kits

/crate open <crate>Open a crate when you hold a matching key.
/crate preview <crate>Preview the rewards inside a crate.
/kitsOpen the kits menu.
/kit <name>Claim a kit you have access to.
/voteShow the current voting links and your progress.
Voting is the easiest free way to support Magnolia, and it helps new players find the server. Use /vote for the current links and rewards.

Ranks

Ranks help support the server while staying fair. They focus on cosmetic and quality-of-life perks rather than raw power. Magnolia is not pay-to-win, and ranks never give a combat, resource or progression advantage over free players.

The rank path

Events & activities

Magnolia regularly hosts events, seasonal content, competitions and relaxed social nights, a great way to meet people and earn rewards outside of normal survival. Watch Discord, in-game announcements and the event calendar for what's coming up. You don't need to be the best builder or fighter to take part; events are made for the whole community.

Need a hand? Open a Discord ticket for account, purchase, report or claim issues, and include what happened, where, and how to repeat it. Found a bug? Report it instead of using it. Never be afraid to ask a small question.

Mods & Clients

Magnolia allows a wide range of performance, visual and quality-of-life mods, as long as they only use default features and never give an unfair advantage. Everything below is split into what is not allowed and what is allowed. Anything that automates gameplay, reveals hidden information or bypasses vanilla limits is banned. If a mod is not listed here and you are unsure, open a ticket before using it.
