Using Shops

RagnaCraft currently uses the localshops plugin. This allows players to create their own shops and buy from other player?s shops. In order to set up a shop within a city or town, one must first buy or create a shop stall.
There are many player shops created around the RagnaCraft world. In order to buy and sell from a shop, do the following:

- Locate a shop to buy from or sell too. A message will appear (with the shop?s name) in the chat console when you enter the area of a shop.

Players are able to buy shop stalls within Towns and Cities on RagnaCraft. Once you have bought a stall you may create and stock a shop with the following commands.

- To create a shop type /shop create [shopName]
- In order for your shop to sell and buy items, you must first add it to the inventory list. To add items to the shop inventory list type /shop add [itemName]
- Once an item is added to the shop you may set the selling amount with /shop set buy [itemName] [price] <bundle>
- To set something you want the shop to buy, type /shop set sell [itemName] [price] <bundle>
- Once the shop is setup properly you may add items to the actual shop inventory using, /shop add [itemName] [quantity]

/cprivate

Death

---

What Happens on Death

Death generally acts the same way it does in standard Minecraft. Upon losing all your health and XP and dying you will return to your spawn location.

If you are carrying a chest or two upon dying, the chests will be placed and filled with as many items in your inventory as possible. Note that this also includes in and under lava which can be very useful. You then have 6 hours to retrieve your items before the chest disappears

Teleport & Spawn Commands

---

Home Command

RagnaCraft has a plugin that support a home spawn location (Aesir only, not in PVP world Muspell). Setting a spawn location allows you to teleport to that spot at any time. Due note however, that setting your spawn location comes at a cost of 150gil and actually spawning to it costs 50gil. There will be a 5 second wait between entering the comand and the actual teleportation, so be warned. The reason for this feature costing Gil is to prevent players from exploiting and abusing the home spawn method.

To set your spawn location to the chunk you are currently standing on, type /home set

To spawn to your current home location type /home

Town Spawn Command

Town spawning is not supported. This means that you have to find alternative travels to towns, such as rail, or airship.

Mini-Games

Monster Arena

The Monster arena mini-game occurs OUTSIDE of Juno. Players can work in a co-operative means to slaughter monsters that come to attack them. The features of this game are as follows:

- Enter the Monster arena by typing in /MA J When you have NO ITEMS EQUIPPED OR IN YOUR INVENTORY
- There is a place Next to the Arena that players may place their items if needed or inbetween arena battles. Please Read the signs outside of the Arena to further help
- There are 6 different classes (Which can be changed by administrator at any time). Each class has it's own specialty and usage.
- The Further you reach, the better prizes that will be given. Work hard to find out all the prizes that you can get.

- Exploiting glitches in the arena will result in a ban or a kick! This means no making forts out of blocks or fences in order to defend yourself from monster attacks. (I.E No cake walls or forts, as they can crash the server.)

Skills & Abilities

How Skills Work

The RagnaCraft server uses the MMO plugin. This enables an RPG element of skills and levels. Skills improve the task by helping in various ways. For example, a high mining level allows for double dropping of blocks.

Most skills also have special abilities that ease tedious jobs. An example of this is the Super Breaker ability for mining. When active it will allow you to single click blocks to mine them (making mining ridiculously fast), keep in mind your durability decreases at a much faster rate however. In order to activate a special ability click the right mouse button while holding an item to activate (example: right click while holding a pickaxe)

In order to view your skills and levels type /stats
To further detail a specific skill type /[Skillname] example /mining
