THE WIKI.
Guides for the actual server. No filler.
Getting started
Everything you need before leaving spawn.
Connect
Open Minecraft Java Edition → Multiplayer → Add Server.
Server address
Enter playrift.net and join.
Open the Nexus
Use /rift for Rift MC’s in-game menu.
Head out
Use /rtp to reach the wilderness. Return with /hub.
Open Parties and Claims
Use claims to protect the land you build on.
Claims cover Minecraft chunks (16 × 16 blocks). Flan is not available for normal player claiming.
Find a spot
Leave spawn with /rtp and find unclaimed land.
Open claim controls
Use /oclaims or the mod’s UI if you have its compatible client mod.
Claim chunks
Select the chunks you want. Each chunk is 16 × 16 blocks.
Set access
Use the party and claim options to manage who can build or interact.
Claim limits, permissions, and exact menu controls depend on Rift MC’s current server configuration. If /oclaims differs in-game, check command suggestions or ask staff.
Parties & teams
The server has more than one team-related system.
Claim access
Manage parties and trusted players for your claimed land. Start with /oparties.
Team system
Separate Rift MC team features. A scoreboard or social team does not automatically grant claim access.
Party memberships and land permissions are separate from LuckPerms ranks. Check your claim permissions before sharing a base.
World & structures
Explore altered terrain, ruins, fortresses, and dungeons.
Overworld
Tectonic changes terrain. WWOO expands biomes. Dungeons and Taverns and the DnT overhauls change structures such as ancient cities and mansions.
Nether
Incendium Legacy reshapes the Nether. Rift’s Nether vault and chest mods add custom loot systems; the Nether fortress overhaul changes fortresses.
End
Stellarity changes the End. Access to dimensions may be restricted by the server’s Disable Dimensions settings.
Generation affects newly created areas. Some structures, loot, and dimensions can be limited by server configuration.
Economy & shops
Two ways to trade: server economy and player shops.
Server economy
Use /eco for economy options, and /shop to open the server shop.
Player-run shops
Trade items directly with other players using shopcases. The usual recipe is a chest and emerald, if enabled.
About shopsShop prices, available items, and shopcase recipes are controlled in-game and can change.
Combat & death
Griefing, raiding, and PvP are allowed. Cheating and harassment are not.
Fights are allowed
PvP and raiding are part of the SMP. Fair Fight helps stop combat logging.
Death is not always safe
Rift Conditional Keep Inventory uses server-defined conditions. Don’t assume you keep your items.
Find your death
Death Location Bar adds a death marker. Death Backup helps staff investigate inventory loss.
Heads & spawners
Player Drops Head and Mineable Spawner adjust drops and block behavior, subject to settings.
Voice & chat
Voice is optional. Text chat works without a voice mod.
Proximity voice
Install a compatible Simple Voice Chat client mod to use voice. Check your keybinds and microphone settings.
Stay connected
Flectone Pulse formats chat. Rift Bridge and Discord-MC-Chat connect supported messages to Discord.
Commands
Copy a command, then paste it into Minecraft chat.

Common questions
Is griefing allowed?
Yes. Griefing and raiding are part of the SMP. Don’t harass players, cheat, or use exploits.
What mod handles player claims?
Open Parties and Claims. Flan is not available to normal players.
Do I need to install mods?
Rift MC is a Fabric server. Some features work entirely server-side; optional extras like proximity voice, Jade, and JEI may require compatible client mods. Check with staff before installing a client pack.
Do I keep my inventory when I die?
Not always. Rift Conditional Keep Inventory uses conditions set by the server.
Can I use the Nether and End?
Dimension access depends on current server settings. The world-generation mods do not guarantee access.
How do I get help?
Ask in Rift MC Discord.
