Installing Optifine


How to Install OptiFine (taken from online)

Optifine allows you to run Minecraft smoother as well as have easier and more reliable access to our resource and texture packs, Optifine somehow allows our resource/texture packs to work more effectively on our servers, we recommend all users run Optifine for the performance benefits and this in mind.

With our server you can use any client that supports Optifine, I would recommend using the latest Optifine version. NOTE: you need to make sure you run the same version of the release as Optifine for it to run, eg 1.19.2 Optifine requires 1.19.2 default client downloaded to work.

The following covers in detail the installation process of OptiFine:

Ranks

We have 6 ranks currently that can be purchased and the below spreadsheet will detail the rewards these ranks give out and their prices. The spreadsheet is embedded so that it will update when we update our store. Make sure to visit the store for the most recent details.

There are 3 ways you can purchase, a rolling monthly cost, 6 months, or for a year. The longer period you buy the cheaper it is to get the rank per month.

Note: Make sure to change TABS to see the different types of keys.


Pay to Win claims

Symbiplex Levels


What are Symbiplex Levels?

Symbiplex levels are key to our server and connect everything that we do. You earn level experience from all sorts of things, the most common way is by playtime and voting. Essentially play on our server and rank up. Most levels will have a reward associated with it as documented in the spreadsheet below.

The first tab details the rewards that you get at each level and the second explains how you can earn the experience.

This can constantly change, hence why we have embedded our spreadsheet directly from the google sheets where we do the work so you will always see a live version and/or any perceived changes.


The Levels & XP Gain

[iframe src=”https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRa2xA8gOnx_-ABS-cOSJtUl3F2SIwK8mvZYOfBIc19UnEGc5ZJHbkGYak_bS9KwVB30yXOKP_MulyY/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false”]


Claiming Rewards

The GUI that is given by Levels can be accessed by running /rewards. Once in the GUI you will see a list of rewards. The feature allows you to claim rewards in certain servers, eg. any reward marked as Creative can only be claimed in creative. Global rewards can be claimed across all the servers, these are usually cosmetic features and or permissions that span the entire network.

To claim a reward simply click the green chest icon (with a sheep coming out of it!) and this will automatically claim the reward for you to the server you are in.
Any normal chests are rewards you can not claim because you have not reached that level
Any chests that are red (with the sheep coming out of it) are rewards that you have already claimed and so you can’t claim these!

To cycle through the GUI use the Arrows to cycle through.

The GUI also has links to other features that allow you to claim rewards, such as quests or voting. It also links back to /info which you should know by now is the key command to the server!

To check your level press the TAB key and it will show up next to your name. This is also displayed on the GUI on the brewing stand with a progress bar to the next level.


Why claim my rewards?

Players often get stuck with the generic permission system eg. only getting a set number of set homes. We want to change that server dynamic and give you, the player, a purpose regardless of what server you play on. Although donation ranks can be obtained in our shop, this allows a way for our players to earn new rewards, eg. get that 3rd set home for your new Nether Gold farm so you don’t have to find your way through your portals.

It also gives you access to features you may need such as world edit for creative etc.

Claiming allows you to progress down the level tree faster by giving you XP boosts along the way and bonuses to make your playing experience better.


Future Features

Currently, the leveling system only reaches 250 (you can see this when you scroll down on the spreadsheet) and does not include veteran rewards even if you see this within the GUI, this is a future feature.

As we add more server features and content to the server more rewards will get added as time goes on.


 

Server Economy


Symbits

Our server currency is called Symbits and we use the symbol â‚¿ to denote this currency. Symbits are a unique currency that derives from the popular Cypto currency; Bitcoin with our own unique twist with the name. This currency is shared across all of the servers that utilise the economy features.

This wiki page will talk through the basic commands as well as some of the more complicated features. Note anything player economy related is within its own wiki page. This will include information about custom player shops, the auction house and others.


Essentials Economy Commands

Useful Commands

O – /bal or  /balance – check your balance. Subcommands can be /bal top to display the top players within your server. This feature is usually shared across leaderboards stored around different servers.

O – /pay <player name> <amount> – pays the given player the given amount from your balance. This is important if players ask to be paid in /bal when you trade with them!

O -/sell hand – This sells the item in your selected hand based upon the costs that are shown within /shop (more on that later)

O -/sell <item> <amount> – This sells the item in your selected item based upon the costs and the number you selected that are shown within /shop

O -/sell all – This sells all the items that can be solved in your inventory based upon the costs that are shown within /shop


/Shop

To access the server shop you can run the command /shop or find the NPCs that are at spawn for this feature. Each sub-server may have different variants and different prices depending on the needs of each server. For example, RPG will have custom items and Symbisky will have its prices altered to suit Skyblock play styles.

You will see the following GUI:

Each of the blocks there is a category of items. On this page, the following also help you in navigating to other parts of the server:

O –The Paper opens the /info menu, which we know is the most important menu of all on each server!

O –On the servers that this allows the Sunflower will take you to the Casino menu, which allows you to gamble all of your earnt money for special prices. This will only be available on some servers (eg. not RPG)

O –The left-most Arrow takes you to the Auction House

O –The right-most Arrow takes you to the Website – What you are reading now!!

O –The barrier block will close this GUI and allow you to go back to what you were doing

 

Starting from each inventory from left to right we have:

O – Commands + Keys

O – Most recent server update items (these will merge into other categories when the update has passed)

O – Blocks

O – Wood

O – Valuables

O – Adventure

O – Banners

O – Heads (permission required)

O – Redstone

O – Honey

O – Mob Drops

O – Decoration

O – Color Blocks

O – Transportation

O – Trims

O – Spawners (Symbisky only, hence why the shop picture is different for this server!)


How to buy/sell items

Each item within the sub-inventories will display a price such as the below:

The buying price will always be more expensive than the selling price with some items having a better return than others. This is for our players to find out what the best items are to farm to get the most money possible.

Left-clicking this will take you to the buy screen

The Buy screen

Once on the buy screen you are given a number of options to purchase the items. You have the left side glass, the right side glass, and the bottom side glass.

Not all items will be able to be increased as you can only buy one at a time, for an example would be a tool or a command where you can not buy more than one at a time.

The menu will look something like this:

The left side will allow you to do the following:

O – Red Stained Glass Pane – Set to One (reset how much you want to buy to one of the item)

O – Orange Stained Glass Pane – Remove 10 (reduce the quantity you will buy by 10)

O – Yellow Stained Glass Pane –  Remove 1 (reduce the quantity you will buy by 1)

 

The right side will allow you to do the following:

O – Yellow Stained Glass Pane – Add 1 Item (adds 10 items to the amount you will buy)

O – Lime Stained Glass Pane –  Add 10 Items (adds 10 items to the amount you will buy)

O – Green Stained Glass Pane –  Set to 64 (set the total limit you will buy to 64)

 

Once happy you will use the Red or Green Stained Grass Pane to:

O – Red – Go back (do not buy eg cancel)

O – Green to Buy the item

 

You will then receive the item or a message to say it was unsuccessful.

The Sell Screen

Much like the buy screen, this is set up in the same way as the above. Alternatively, you can use the command systems above to sell the items you choose if this is easier for you.

The Sell all command

Much like the name implies click with your middle mouse button to sell all the items in your inventory of that type.


Commands + Keys

This can vary from server to server dependent on the features that we offer and areas that we will see. For Survival we see the following:

This server allows you to purchase claim blocks, and the different tiers of keys, including the global cosmetic and pet keys. It will also allow you to access /heads which is also the heads inventory that you couldn’t access without the right permissions.

Lastly, this allows you to redeem your Mob Hunting coin drops that you get from killing mobs.

The Diamond takes you to /ranks

RPG’s additional features include broomstick upgrades.

Symbisky’s additional features include spawner keys.
