Server guide/New players
Welcome to FroobWorld!
A cozy survival multiplayer server with a history dating back all the way to 2011.
💻 Server IP: s.froobworld.com
🎮 Game Version: 1.21.10
The intent of this guide is to provide an overview of FroobWorld’s features and answer common questions newcomers may have. Be sure to check out the rest of the wiki for information. Anything not covered feel free to ask in the FroobWorld 💬 Discord server.
🧭 What is FroobWorld?
FroobWorld is a survival multiplayer (SMP) Minecraft server with a focus on collaboration. It’s classified as semi-vanilla, meaning gameplay stays close to the vanilla experience — all players, including staff and admins, play in survival mode.
⚖️ Rules
FroobWorld’s rules are designed to encourage fairness and teamwork:
- 🚫 No griefing, stealing, or cheating
- 💬 No swearing or profanity — keep it friendly for players of all ages
- 🤝 Be respectful and collaborative
- 💡 Use common sense — this is a family-friendly survival server.
For complete details, visit the FroobWorld Policies.
🧱 Updates & Map Resets
After each major Minecraft update, the admin team — with input from players — decides how best to update or potentially reset the world. 🕰️ Historically, FroobWorld maps last 2–3 years.
🗓️ Last map reset: 28 June 2025 → the start of map 12, with map 11 having lasted around 3.5 years.
When the map isn’t reset, admins may:
- Expand world borders 🌍
- Move the spawn point 🧭
to include new features from recent updates.
🏡 Getting Started
📖 Getting Started
📍 Where to Build
Finding a good spot to build can be tough near spawn, as it’s often crowded. You can build anywhere unclaimed, but it’s good etiquette not to build too close to others.
🌀 To explore quickly, use /rtp for a random teleport.
(It has limited uses that recharge over time.)
🤝 Many players build together in towns — a great way to collaborate and share resources! Active towns can even earn a 🌌 Town Portal. (Note: Warps are not available on map 12 yet.)
🧭 Teleportation
FroobWorld’s main quality-of-life feature is teleportation — letting players travel instantly.
🛏️ /sethome
Use /sethome to mark a location and /home to return.
For multiple homes, simply add a name:
/sethome base → /home base
🏅 The number of homes depends on your rank.
⏪ /back
Use /back to return to your previous spot — whether from death or teleportation.
FroobWorld does not use keepInventory, making /back a very useful command when starting out.
📨 Teleport Requests
/tpa <player>→ ask to teleport to them./tpahere <player>→ invite them to teleport to you.
The other player can accept or deny requests.
👥 Friends Teleport
Use /friend to add someone and then /tp for instant teleport.
⚙️ Toggle Teleports
Use /tptoggle <requests|friends> to control teleport permissions.
🧱 Land Claiming
Protect your creations by claiming land 🏡 There’s no hard limit, but staff will review large or excessive claims to ensure fairness. 📘 See Protecting an Area for step-by-step instructions.
See below for simple, easy protection of containers for extra security!
🛡️ Protecting Containers
Players can protect their chests, furnaces, barrels, and other containers to keep items safe from others.
🔒 Automatic Protection
Place a sign directly on a container.
If you leave the sign blank, it will automatically fill in with:
[Private] followed by your username.
This locks the container so only you can access it.
🗝️ Editing Access
Use the /lock command to edit the protection sign and add friends who can open it.
💥 Removing Protection If you’re the owner, simply break the sign to remove the lock.
💡 Tip: Protecting your containers is quick, easy, and helps keep your loot safe!
⛏️ Finding Resources
Resources can be scarce — but FroobWorld’s 🌌 Border Regions help with that. They’re special reset zones outside the main world border that refresh regularly.
Use the 🗺️ Live Map to check the world borders.
⚠️ Border Region Rules
- You may only loot or mine each structure/resource once.
- Don’t leave items or builds — the area can reset without warning. Leave items at your own risk!
- You’ll receive an in-game alert when entering a border region.
💚 Welcome to FroobWorld — build, explore, and have fun! 💚
