RuneHaven SMP · Player guide

How RuneHaven works

New here? Grab your kit, find somewhere to build, and take it from there. There’s a lot to do, but you don’t need to learn all of it on day one.


Your first few minutes

  1. Join play.runehavensmp.com on Minecraft Java. The server runs 26.2. Accept the resource pack so custom items and menus look right.
  2. Open /kits and claim the kit available to you. Check /rewards too. Free stuff helps when you’re starting out.
  3. Use /rtp to choose a world. Start in Survival, find a spot, and claim it before moving your valuables in.
  4. Save your base with /sethome base. Use /home base to get back. The normal starting limit is three homes.
  5. Open /jobs and choose up to three jobs that fit what you actually do. Check /quests for your current goals.

The grind is part of it

Build a town, collect custom gear, run a shop, go fishing, or build a factory. There isn’t one route everyone has to follow. Some upgrades are expensive on purpose; you’re meant to work towards them.

Vanilla gear still matters. Jobs pay for useful actions, skills improve as you play, and tougher combat opens up more rewards. Keep a backup set before taking your best stuff somewhere new.

Things worth knowing early

  • Money, Coins, Souls, fishing Entropy, and Jobs points are different balances. Having one does not mean you can afford something priced in another.
  • Enter the Nether and End normally before using random teleports or player warps into them.
  • A backpack is an item you can lose. It is not a second protected Ender Chest.
  • A public player warp lets other people visit. Use a private home or team home if that’s not what you want.
  • Custom ores are not all processed the same way. Check the recipe before smelting or throwing anything away.

If something doesn’t work

Read the message or item lore first. It will often tell you what is missing: a level, materials, money, a cooldown, or access to that world. If you’re stuck, ask in chat or send a clear bug report.

Pick something to work towards

If you like…Start hereYour next useful goal
BuildingClaim a base, set a home, and choose Builder or Lumberjack.Expand the claim, collect decorations, and open a player warp when you want visitors.
MiningJoin Miner and open /mine.Save artifacts and Vessel parts while selling Flux for cash.
FarmingJoin Farmer and check /farmer prices.Build a reliable crop supply and level Farming for its passive bonuses.
FishingOpen /fish and fish without expensive bait first.Keep materials and Entropy for a planned rod upgrade.
FactoriesBuild one working powered line.Automate components and science packs before increasing the factory size.
CombatKeep a backup kit and start with fights you can survive.Work on dungeon rooms, Souls, gear, and Adventure goals.
TradingLearn the difference between auction listings and chest shops.Price items after fees, keep stock, and give people a reason to visit.

None of these locks you into a class. Switch between things when you feel like it. Just check what a purchase needs before spending the materials you were saving for another goal.

Which level is the menu asking for?

SystemCheck it hereWhat that progress belongs to
Jobs/jobsYour chosen job levels, cash, and Jobs points.
AuraSkills/skillsGathering/combat skills, stats, passive abilities, and mana abilities.
PyroMining/mine statsMining XP, Zeta progression, and Oracle level gates.
PyroFishing/fish statsCustom fishing level, augments, skills, and totem progression.
Minecraft XPYour XP barVanilla levels and XP points used by purchases and enchanting.
Factory research/mt researchTechnologies unlocked by supplying science packs.

For example, Mining 40 in /skills is not PyroMining 40 for an Oracle. Likewise, Minecraft level 30 is not 30 XP points. Read the name of the requirement as well as the number.

Before using a sell-all button

Put away the things you are saving: fishing materials, Vessel parts, rank materials, custom ores, keys, and upgrade items. Different shops accept different items, and an inventory-wide sale can include more than the stack you had in mind.

Start with a small sale through the matching shop. Check the cash received and the items removed before doing the rest. The money guide covers chest-shop controls and fees; the mining guide explains which mining finds are useful to keep.
