๐Ÿ  Finding Your Home

Claiming Land

One of the first things you should do is find a place to build your base and claim it!

  1. Explore the world to find a nice location (remember: 150 blocks minimum from other claims)

  2. Use /claim or a golden shovel to claim your land

  3. Your claim protects your builds and chests from other players

Check out the Claiming Land Guide for detailed claiming instructions!

Building Your Base

Once you've claimed land, you can start building:

  • Craft a bed to set your spawn point

  • Build storage for your items

  • Create a Pokemon healing station

  • Set up breeding areas for later


โš”๏ธ Catching Pokemon

Finding Pokemon

Pokemon spawn naturally in the world based on:

  • Biome - Water Pokemon near water, Fire Pokemon in hot biomes, etc.

  • Time of Day - Some Pokemon only spawn at night or day

  • Weather - Certain Pokemon prefer rain or clear weather

Use /checkspawns to see what Pokemon can spawn in your current area!

Battle Mechanics

  • Click on a wild Pokemon to start a battle

  • Use your Pokemon's moves strategically

  • Weaken the Pokemon before throwing a Pokeball

  • Different Pokeballs have different catch rates

Pokeball Types

  • Poke Ball - Basic ball, works for most common Pokemon

  • Great Ball - Better catch rate than Poke Ball

  • Ultra Ball - Even better catch rate, good for rare Pokemon

  • Specialty Balls - Dusk Ball (night), Net Ball (water/bug), etc.
