Getting Started
Joining the server, the hub, your first session.
The Java IP is play.astroworldmc.com. Add it to your server list in Minecraft Java Edition.
For Bedrock (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile, Win10): the same address play.astroworldmc.com on port 25565. Geyser handles the conversion.
The server runs on Minecraft 1.21.x. Your client should be 1.20.5 or newer to connect cleanly.
You will get a one-time starter kit ($1,000 + iron tools + food + Claim Shovel) when you arrive
The hub itself is for travel only. You cannot break or place blocks there, and survival commands like /sethome and /buychunk only work after you reach the survival world.
It is a golden shovel in your starter kit. Use it to mark land as yours.
Right-click two opposite corners of an area you want to claim. The system marks that area as your claim. Once claimed, no one else can break or place blocks inside without your trust.
You start with 768 claim blocks and earn 256 more per hour while online. See the player guide for the full claim system.
The store has optional cosmetics and donor ranks for players who want to support the server, but everything you need to play is available without spending real money. We do not sell pay-to-win items.
Java 1.20.5 and newer (1.21 recommended). Bedrock players connect through Geyser using the same IP. Console players (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) can join via Bedrock.
If you connect on an older Java version, you may see "outdated client" or feature glitches. Update before reporting issues.
The short checkout page is at /store. For deeper product explanations, rank comparisons, crate odds, AstroCoins, extras, delivery notes, refunds, and EULA compliance, see our store guide at store.astroworldmc.com.
Use the guide to research products, then buy only through the official checkout at astroworldmc.com/store.
In-game, type /discord or /link discord. You will get a code to enter in the Discord server.
Or click the Discord NPC in the hub. Same flow.
Linking unlocks Discord-only perks (role auto-sync, channel access) and is required for some staff features. Linking is free and takes about 30 seconds.
Same IP / shared connection. If your ban was joined via shared WiFi (siblings, dorm, family), the IP block may be hitting both of you. File an appeal through /support explaining the situation.
Account sharing. If you shared your account with the banned friend, anything they did is on your account. We do not reverse "but it was my friend" bans. See rule 6.2.
For appeals, use /support and include both account names.
/trade <player> - direct, atomic swap. Both sides put their items in, both confirm, the swap happens. Cannot be scammed at the last second. Use this for one-off deals.
Chest shops - passive, ongoing. You set up a chest with /shopbuy or /shopsell and players can buy/sell at any time. Use this for selling resources you want to move while offline.
Auction House - listing-based. You list an item, players bid or buy out. Use this for valuable single items.
Dropping items on the ground - never safe. Items can be picked up by anyone. We do not refund items lost this way.
For large or rare item exchanges: always use /trade. For passive resource selling: chest shops.
If the scam happened through /trade, we can usually verify what was offered (the system logs offers). If it happened through dropped items or unlocked chests, we cannot recover those - that is at your own risk.
If we verify the scam: 7 day temp ban for the scammer + full refund to you. See rule 4.1.
The cosmic crate is the rare crate with the best rewards: high-tier money payouts, multiple AstroCoins, spawn eggs for rare mobs, donor-tier kit items, exclusive cosmetics, and ultra-rare items.
Cosmic keys are not from voting. They drop from special events, are sold occasionally on the store, or come as ultra-rare drops from vote crates.
Yes, please. Honest bug reports may earn you a small reward.
Use /support and describe:
What you did
What happened that should not have
How to reproduce it (if you can)
Any screenshots or video
Do not exploit the bug. Reporting honestly = potential reward. Exploiting = temp ban + items removed. Sharing the bug with friends to exploit together = longer ban.
If the bug duplicates items, gives unlimited money, bypasses claims, or breaks economy rules: stop immediately and report. See rule 3.3.
Joining Discord, OG status, applying for staff, advertising rules.
Click "Join Discord" anywhere on the website, or use the link in the homepage hero.
After joining:
Read #welcome and #announcements
Link your Minecraft account with /link discord in-game
Say hi in #general
Drop ideas in #suggestions
Discord is also where you can claim OG status if you joined before launch.
The first 50 Discord members get permanent OG (Original) badge. It comes with:
Permanent OG tag in Discord
VIP+ rank in-game (free, permanent)
Beta access to test features before public launch
Priority access to launch events
OG status is locked once we hit 50 members. After that, no more OG slots ever.
Yes for casual questions in #general. The community is friendly and other players answer most stuff fast.
For actual reports (bans, scams, bugs, item loss, appeals): use /support on the website. We track those formally and they go to the whole staff team. DMs to a specific staff member can get missed.
Promoting other Minecraft servers, Discord servers, or businesses is not allowed. That includes IPs, links, names, or hints.
Talking about your own YouTube channel or Twitch stream IF it is Astroworld content is fine. Sharing a clip of you playing on Astroworld? Great. Posting "subscribe to my channel" with no Astroworld context? Spam.
DM advertising (cold DMs to members) gets a permanent ban with no warning. See rule 8.2.
