Plugins always change, if you do not have the permission to do something on the server please contact us immediately either on the website or on discord.
Hello and welcome to our new wiki!
We have created this wiki for your benefit to keep you safe and healthy while playing on Straya's server and other assets
Please ensure you read our rules and moderation
STAFF
The staff is always here to help, but please understand that most of the staff have a different life away from gaming and may not be instantly available to answer your questions. If this is the case, please check this wiki or the FAQ for some answers or alternatively you can contact us via email at contact@straya.biz or pop in to our discord server.
As stated the staff are here to help, do not abuse the staff!!
Below is a list of frequently asked questions that have been developed by admins and players, if the answer is not here please contact the admins via email contact@straya.biz
I have not received my verification email what can I do?
Can I donate to Straya?
Yes most definite. We have set up a donation plan where you can donate directly to the server. Please click here to donate.
Your donations are extremely appreciated.
I have been banned from the game server, what can I do?
Depending upon you ban you can appeal it by using the appeals form located here.
Please ensure you read our rules to prevent yourself from being banned.
NOTE: Temporary bans cannot be appealed, the player MUST complete the punishment.
Can I become an Admin or Mod?
Yes you can, however there are certain criteria that you must meet even before being considered for a position of authority on either the website or game servers, some of these may include:
It may be that you already qualify due to your experience with websites or Minecraft, if you think you already qualify you can apply by using this form.
Where are the servers located?
What resources and plugins do you have on the server?
I noticed that you see resources for minecraft, are they premium?
Yes, most certainly.
All resources are "Premium" untouched resources from the original authors. We offer these resources at a much cheaper price simply because the authors charge too much for what we believe are over priced.
Our resources are kept up to date, however if you know of a resource that you would like added or updated, please use this form to request it.
Straya's Report system is an amazing tool for both Staff and Players alike. While it is simple to use - /report [PlayerName] [Reason] - in order to be fully effective it must be used properly.
To ensure anonymity for you, you cannot use /report to report staff. Instead, message the Admins at straya.biz or through an email to contact@straya.biz.
Examples of both good and bad reports can be found near the bottom of this page.
Spam / Caps: Spam and caps reports are some of the most common. Often, these infractions are simply accidents. It is important to know the difference. You should only report a player if they are clearly abusing the system. See emc.gs/chat rules for more details.
Foul / Inappropriate Language: Empire Minecraft is a family friendly Community, and all Chat should be kept as friendly as possible. Insulting other players or causing discomfort by having inappropriate conversations is not tolerated on the Empire. Chances are, if you are uncomfortable with the conversation, others will be as well.
Foul / Inappropriate Material: As with language, it is important to keep creations, signs, and similar items friendly. Inappropriate items or constructions in public view (including on a players residence) are not tolerated.
Stealing: As mentioned above, be as detailed as possible. Reports with simply “stealing” as the reason are extremely difficult to investigate, and will likely not get resolved. Do not give a player a valuable item unless you are 100% sure they are trustworthy.
Griefing: Almost always better to message an online staff member at emc.gs. If you do need to /report in-game, please add as much information as you can. Please note that reports of griefing in Town are extremely difficult to prove. In fact, it is impossible for a player to grief another without permissions being willingly handed out. Be cautious who you issue permissions to!
Hacking: Quite simply, just type /report and let a staff member handle it. Hackers will usually lie low to not get caught if given too much attention.
Spamming - The following report tells staff exactly where and what to look for:
/report player1 Spammed 10 lines of a shop advertisement in town chat.
Foul Language - The following report alerts staff to look for bad words and insults:
/report player1 Insulted player2 by calling him bad names.
Inappropriate Item on Residence / Wild - This report shows staff the location and the residence number for an inappropriate sign. If in the Wild, include coordinates (/loc).
/report player1 Mean sign here on residence # xxxx.
Scamming - This report points staff in the direction of rupee transfers, and has enough information for staff to contact player1. The system will block reports which appear to not provide enough information about scams.
/report player2 I gave player2 1500R for a diamond pick and he never gave it to me.
Stealing - Here, the reporting player clearly identifies items that the staff can look into.
/report player2 Player2 stole my enchantment table and burned down my cabin.
Hacking - Instead of simply saying, "hacks," the reporting player took screenshots AND specified what staff should search logs for.
/report player1 Flying in town. I took screenshots.
Spam - This report is not the best. Unless the spam is extremely obvious, this report will be hard for staff to investigate.
/report player1 Spam
Rudeness / Inappropriate Language / Etc - This report could be much better. Who is the reported player being mean to? What are they doing that is mean? Are they in Town, or the wild?
/report player1 Being mean.
Inappropriate Item on Residence - Remember, some players have multiple Residences, and it is sometimes possible to build on other players' Residences. So, if staff has to search all areas of each residence, it could take quite some time to locate the infringement.
/report player1 He has a bad sculpture on his friend's plot.
Stealing - The staff will have tons of investigation to do on this, and it is likely to slip through the cracks. This report needs to list what is being stolen and from where. Did the reporting player pay any money? Quite simply, not a lot to investigate here.
/report player1 Stealing
Hacking - Again, this report is very non-descriptive. "Hacking" could mean a variety of things. Is the reported player exploiting a glitch? Duplicating diamonds? Flying? Speed mods?
/report player1 Hacks and stuff.
Storage Banks
A Storage Bank is formed when you pay someone to store your items on their residence. A player's Hotel may or may not include a Storage Bank option.
Storage Banks put your items into another player's possession with no way for Staff to enforce that those items will be left alone and untouched by the owner. Additionally players sometimes suddenly disappear or could get banned; making your items unavailable or removed due to a purge.
Storage Banks are not moderated by Staff. Participating with one is done at your own risk and if something goes wrong, Staff will not have the proper evidence to take action.
Residence Permissions
Selling residence permissions is when a player offers the ability to move, use items, etc on their residence. The participation in these situations should be approached with caution. Like storage banks, players will sometimes stop playing or could get banned, which would remove access to whatever permissions you purchase.
Staff will not intervene in the case of issues with the selling/purchasing of residence permissions and you will be participating at your own risk.
Loans and Savings Accounts
A Loan is formed when you allow another player to borrow something of yours, with the intention of eventually returning the item, with or without additional bonus.
By opening a saving account with someone, you're effectively giving them your Rupees, and trusting them to give them back. By investing your Rupees in a project, with the expectation of receiving something in return, you are participating in a loan.
It's possible for a player to build up lots of debt, draining them of all their coins. In addition, it is possible that a player may not give back what was loaned to them. According to Staff, when you willingly give your items or coins to someone else, they stop being yours, and are now theirs.
Loans and Savings Accounts are not moderated by Staff. Participating with one is done at your own risk and if something goes wrong, Staff will not have the proper evidence to take action.
It is NOT allowed to publicize the offering of nor the inquiry of a loan or savings account. By this, we mean that you may not make a forum thread or speak in the public Chat channels about them. Unsolicited advertising through other means is also disallowed.
Our mission is to have fun and create lasting memories.
The rules listed below are in place so that everyone can enjoy their time on our server. If you EVER have a question about a rule, please ask a Staff member for clarification. The Staff will never tell you or ask you to do anything unreasonable. If you ever have a problem with a Staff member or you feel a situation or report was handled incorrectly, contact the Admins at pmadmin.emc.gs so that the situation can be reviewed.
Straya's Staff reserves the right to ban accounts for causing problems that border the lines of the rules. Straya's Staff reserves the right to update any rule, as necessary, and it is the player's responsibility to read and follow the most current version of the rules. A staff post will be created alongside any major rule changes.
If a player breaks a rule in-game and you witness it, please report them to a Staff member by using our report system. In-game staff may be able to assist, but can also be busy doing other tasks. To report a player, use /report [name] [reason]. For example, /report Aikar inappropriate messages. This report will be logged into the Staff's system and a Staff will be able to take care of the situation quickly and sometimes without even logging in-game. Do not abuse the report system to file false or joke reports. Doing so may result in punishment.

For an in-depth guide to the possible staff-issued punishments on the server and how to appeal, see EMC Punishment System.

Using any mod, including approved mods, in order to bypass the intended conditions of an event is not allowed. Example: OptiFine is allowed as long as you don't use the zoom feature to aim in an event.
These are mods that are focused primarily on enhancing the player's graphic performance by modifying small client-side details.
These are mods designed to make gameplay more convenient by simplifying normal aspects of Minecraft while not giving a significant advantage over non-mod users.
These are mods that are focused primarily on enhancing the player's aesthetic experience in-game.
These are mods designed to complete very specific game-play actions. These are not going to be desired to be used by everyone due to a niche use.
The following mods are explicitly against the rules and are NOT allowed.
Use of illegal mods on EMC will result in a ban. These mods break Rule #4 of EMC: Do Not Hack, Cheat, or Exploit.
These rules apply to each and every post on the forums. If a post is in breach of any of the following rules, please use the forum report button. All punishments are at staff discretion. If you have a problem with the way a staff member handled a situation, then please contact the Admins at straya.biz to discuss.

Be mindful that there are people with other religions, ethnic backgrounds, political views, etc than what you may have. While you may not agree with other players' viewpoints on these matters, it is NEVER okay to insult another player or their beliefs anywhere on the forum.
Do not spam.
A 'bump' is any post that is posted in order to bring the post to the top of the most recent threads list without offering new updates or important content that otherwise warrants a post.
We have many threads and only 20 may be in the recent post section at once. Due to this, you may bump, at earliest, 12 hours after the last post. This 12 hour timer is based on the last post by any player in the thread and applies to all forum areas including auctions.
Bumping rules are minimized to every 6 hours for any public member in-games events that are occurring within 24 hours, unless an important content update is warranted.
Do not use other languages. English is required.
We are first and foremost a Minecraft Community. Threads about topics that cause conflict or lead to harassment are posted in the section 'Controversial Topics', but will be shut down if the line is crossed at any time, as deemed by Staff. Access to this section is opt-in only and you must message Admins to be evaluated for acceptance based on ability to handle yourself in a controversial setting. Individual access to this forum section may be removed, if deemed appropriate by Staff.
Controversial Topics include, but are not limited to:
If you have a question if something is controversial or not, please ask Staff before posting.
Offenses covered by this rule include:
Discord is a great tool for communicating with other players on Straya. Because of its popularity, some rules and policies have been created, to assure everyone gets the best possible experience and things are under control.
Cyberbullying is a BIG issue on the internet and here on EMC, it is never acceptable. We have rules to counter it, and we work with the Community to prevent it.
Do not discuss staff reports/incidents over Discord
Do not use inappropriate language
Do not be rude or bully others
Do not spam or refuse to utilize push-to-talk when necessary
Do not record others without their permission
Reporting Discord issues appropriately
If you are permanently banned from Straya, you will be permanently banned from Discord.
Below is a simplified list of rules that may not be covered in previous topics.
If you are unsure of any rule, please contact the staff for clarification.
PLAYER CONDUCT
CHAT
GAME PLAY
GENERAL
HACKS
SERVER
STAFF
On Straya, we have rules in place to make sure that everyone has a family-friendly and fair survival experience. If a player break one of these rules, they will be punished by Staff. The type of rule broken and the player's rule-breaking history is what usually determines the type of punishment received. This page covers the various punishment types, as well as what the player should do if they receive a punishment.
Jail
Use mostly for minor indiscretions. Jail is only located on the server in a hidden location. Players who are Jailed MUST be on the server for the jail time to expire.
EXAMPLE:
A player is jailed for 15 minutes and leaves the server at the 10 minute mark, when the player re-joins the server, that player will still have 5 minutes in jail.
When a player who has been jailed re-joins the server that player will respawn in jail in the same cell.
Mutes
Used mostly for Chat related offenses, a mute disables the player's Chat for a period of time. Duration is usually 5 minutes - 1 hour, but may extend beyond dependent on the staff's discretion. The player will receive a message on their screen and will be unable to send Chat messages until the time period is up.
Kicks
Used primarily by our automatic hack detection. Don't worry if you aren't using hacks and you still receive this kick. You can re-connect immediately and it won't count against you. It's just the system stating that your player movement is erratic and not typical. This often occurs during large lag spikes or long falls. The message that will appear on your screen is:
Temporary Bans
A temporary removal from the server, usually used for punishments that are equivalent to a time-out when a player needs time to cool off, or needs a more stern warning prior to receiving a regular ban. Each temporary ban has a duration set by the staff member, and this may vary depending on the offense.
NOTE: Temporary bans cannot be appealed, the punishment MUST be completed.
Perma-Bans
This is our most severe punishment on Straya. Used for punishing illegal hacks, scamming, griefing, etc. The offenses that result in a permanent ban on Straya are usually those that involve the player making the Straya environment unfair. An extensive player history of other offenses may also result in a permanent ban. We use the term 'permanent' to indicate the ban length, however the ban may be lifted if the player appeals or successfully disputes the ban.
Appeals and Purges
When a player is permanently banned from Straya, they can appeal the ban to the staff member that banned them (starting here). If a player successfully appeals a ban that was not in error, they will usually be purged. If the player successfully disputes the ban, they will not be purged. The purge does not automatically occur at the time of the ban being issued. If you are unable to Appeal a Ban, please email contact@straya.biz for assistance. This also applies to players who are banned from the forums.
A purge erases everything that a player previously had on Straya. This includes their residences, vaults, stables, rupees, EXP, mail, and more. The returning player will start in the tutorial again. Their Site data (such as post and like count) is not erased.
Purging an account after a permanent ban is part of the standard appeal procedure on Straya. It prevents players from accessing anything that was obtained in an unfair way and gives them a fresh start. Temporary bans are not accompanied by a purge. In rare circumstances, a purge is not issued.
Recently Straya's admins have trialed a few plugins to lock chests without any luck. Plugins like the old Lockette no longer works and the spin off LocketteX works but doesn't protect anything, while LockettePro isn't pro at all.
We now use LWC-Extended the full wiki can be found here
NOTE: Automatic protection for blocks as been disabled you must use the commands below to lock blocks/chests
To lock a chest (without a password)
To lock a chest (with a password)
NOTE: When using a password protected chest you will need to use that password to open the chest every time
To unlock a chest
To break/remove a chest
You are likely seeing this page because you were kicked for hacking by our automated hack detection system. The incident that caused you to be kicked has been logged. We advise you read this whole page to understand why you have been kicked.
I was not hacking:
If you were not hacking, do not worry. Sometimes, things, such as block lagging, can flag your account and cause you to be automatically kicked. Provided you are not actually hacking, you will not be banned. However, it is probably a good idea to not do what caused you to be kicked again.
I was hacking:
If you were hacking, stop now. This is your only warning.
It is against our rules to hack. If you are caught hacking by a staff member, you will receive a permanent ban, and your account will be reset. Remove your hacks now if you wish to continue playing on Empire Minecraft. If you are banned from one of our servers, you are banned from all of them. See the Rules and Moderation page.
After you play Parkour or another map that has effects, sometimes those effects will remain.
The simplest way to remove the effects if the interfere with your game is to drink a bucket of milk.
If you don't have any milk you can find some at Spawn in the public chests. If there is no milk there please contact an admin.
Once you build a house you might want to protect it from griefers.
Follow these simple steps:
You can also expand to the sky and bedrock using the command: /res select vert Keep in mind that this can be expensive!!!
NOTE: The name of the house must be server unique and contain no spaces or special characters.
At any time to see what your house will cost to build type:
/res select cost
To add a friend to your house:
(the commands are case sensitive)
If you are unable to do any of the commands above, please contact us, it may be that you don't have the correct permissions assigned to you.
We think you will be amazed with this newly created server.
This server is the gateway to Staya, the gateway to all of the servers.
There are public chests where you can get items that other players have left, it is the gateway to server like the end and the nether, not to mention a portal to transport you to a secret location on the wilderness server.
Things to remember:
The Shop - If you need to go shopping, use the commands /menu or /shop
Spawn - If you ever want to return back to this server simply type the command /spawn and you will be teleported back to spawn.
You can always check the wiki for thinks you want to know.
