Basic Information
What is Architektus all about?

What do I need to play? We highly encourage you to download the Architektus Texture Pack. This texture pack retextures some blocks such as ores to other textures that are more suited for a creative server so our players will have more choices in their builds.

Are there rules that I need to follow? You need to look over both the Rules and Building Code to get the most out of your experience on Architektus. The rules and building code are in place to ensure that all players have an equal opportunity to build their vision on our server without impeding the progress of others.

'''I’m ready to play! How can I join the server? You can join the server with the IP address architektus.net''' at any time, but you will need to apply for whitelist in order to actually build on our server. For more information on joining the server, please read on how to submit an Application.

Server Basics
Why do some people have different colored names in chat? Those colors signify their rank. More information on ranks can be found here.

I see people flying, how can I fly? We allow players to use Zombe’s Fly Mod. It makes exploring and reaching high places much easier. You can find the download and installation instructions on the official Minecraft Forums.

How can I visit other people’s creations? Most established cities and towns will have warp points which allows instantaneous travel. Find these travel hubs and the whole world will be open to you.

Building on the Server
How do I acquire materials? As we are a creative server, we do not require players to gather their own materials. Players are allowed to use /item to load any unrestricted items they want.

How do I use /item? The command /item is used to load any block in the game. The command is used as such: /item (item name/id) (quantity). For example, /item stone 64 will load a full stack of smooth stone. Since /item also accepts item IDs, /item 1 64 will also achieve the same result. A full list of blocks and item ID’s can be found at the Minecraft Wiki.

What are the restricted blocks? For safety reasons, we do not allow spawning of a few blocks. Please do not use them in your builds. (For future purposes)

Where can I build? Many players have started up towns and will be happy to offer you a place to build. Just know that in their town, you must follow their building rules. You can also start your own town as long as it is at least two to three horizons away from any existing builds. This is to allow existing towns ample room for expansion. More information can be found in the building code.

Further Instructions
What commands can I use? Besides /item, we offer a variety of commands to make building as smooth as possible. For a full list, please go here.
