Welcome to HTD SMP! This guide covers everything you need to know about the server — from your first day to endgame progression.
When you join, you'll spawn in the server hub. Here's how to hit the ground running:
1. Teleport to the world — Run /rtp and click Overworld to land somewhere random in the 30k x 30k survival world.
2. Grab your starter kit — You'll automatically receive a stone sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, and some food.
3. Pick a job — Open /jobs and select a profession. Everything you do related to that job earns you money.
4. Start questing — Open /quests and browse 500+ challenges. Completing quests earns money and Level XP.
5. Set a home — Found a good spot? Run /sethome so you can always get back.
HTD SMP has four distinct worlds, all accessible through the /rtp menu:
Overworld — 30,000 x 30,000 blocks of classic survival terrain. Build, mine, and settle wherever you land. PvP is enabled.
Mining World — A 10,000 x 10,000 custom cave dimension. No surface, no sky — just endless caves packed with lush caves, dripstone caves, and deep dark biomes.
Nether — 10,000 x 10,000 blocks of hellscape. Grab your fire res potions and go hunting for ancient debris.
The End — 5,000 x 5,000 blocks. Slay the dragon, raid end cities, and farm shulkers.
The server runs a dual-currency economy:
Money ($) — Earned by working jobs, completing quests, and selling items with /sell. Spend it at the /shop, player auction house, and lottery.
Coins — A premium currency available through the server store. Coins unlock cosmetics, pets, backpacks, ranks, and other perks in the /coinshop. You can also earn coins through crates and voting.
Jobs — The most consistent income. Pick from 12 professions and earn money passively as you play. Higher job levels mean bigger payouts.
Selling Items — Use /sell to sell resources from your inventory at set prices. Ores, logs, crops, mob drops — everything has a value.
Quests — Every quest pays out cash on completion. With 500+ quests, that adds up.
Auction House — Sell items to other players at your own prices with /ah.
Choose from 12 professions, each with their own leveling track. The higher your job level, the more you earn:
Blacksmith, Brewer, Builder, Crafter, Digger, Explorer, Farmer, Fisher, Hunter, Lumberjack, Miner, and Shepherd.
Pick a job with /jobs and start earning just by playing the way you already do.
Level up 11 different skills as you play. Every action levels up your skills, and each skill maxes out at level 100 with unique abilities along the way:
Farming, Foraging, Mining, Fishing, Excavation, Archery, Defense, Fighting, Agility, Alchemy, and Enchanting.
Check your progress with /skills.
Over 500 quests spread across 12 categories. Whether you're forging tools, hunting mobs, farming crops, or brewing potions, there's a quest for it.
Quest categories: Blacksmith, Brewing, Building, Crafting, Digging, Enchanting, Farming, Fishing, Hunter, Lumberjack, Mining, and Miscellaneous.
Every completed quest rewards you with money and Level XP. Browse them with /quests.
