Getting Started
Welcome to INVO-ke Gaming! This page covers everything you need to know to connect, explore, and start playing. Whether you are on Java or Bedrock, we have got you covered.
🌐 How to Connect
INVO-ke supports both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition (including mobile, console, and Windows 10/11). Bedrock players connect through Geyser, so no extra mods or apps are needed.
Bedrock players: Add the server in your server list using the address and port above. Geyser handles the translation automatically — you will join the same world as Java players.
👣 First Steps When You Join
Here is what to expect when you first log in:
-
Accept the resource pack.
You will be prompted to download our custom resource pack when you connect. It includes custom textures, sounds, and UI tweaks. Accept it for the best experience. It only takes a moment to download. -
Explore the spawn area.
You will land at our central spawn hub. Look around — there are info boards, a community market, starter kits, and portals to key locations. Take a minute to orient yourself. -
Grab a starter kit.
Type/kit starterto receive basic tools, food, and a golden shovel for claiming land. Starter kits are one-time use. -
Head into the wild.
Walk, fly with an elytra (when you find one), or use/wildto teleport to a random location. Find a spot you like and set your home with/sethome. -
Claim your land.
Once you have found your spot, use your golden shovel to create a claim. Right-click two opposite corners. This protects your builds from griefing. See the Land Claims section below for details.
⛏ Basic Commands
These are the commands you will use the most. All commands start with / in chat.
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
/spawn |
Teleport back to the server spawn point. |
/sethome |
Set your current location as your home. You can set multiple homes: /sethome base |
/home |
Teleport to your home. Use /home base for a named home. |
/tpa <player> |
Request to teleport to another player. They must accept. |
/back |
Return to your last location (e.g., after dying or teleporting). |
/warp |
List available warp points. Use /warp <name> to travel there. |
/kit |
View available kits. Use /kit <name> to claim one. |
/balance |
Check how much money you have. |
/pay <player> <amount> |
Send money to another player. |
/worth |
Check the sell value of the item you are holding. |
Some commands have cooldowns to prevent abuse. If a command does not work right away, wait a few seconds and try again.
💰 How the Economy Works
The server runs a player-driven economy. You earn money by gathering resources and selling them, then spend it on land claims, player shops, and more.
Earning Money
- Sell items: Hold an item and type
/sell handto sell what you are holding, or/sell allto sell everything in your inventory that has value. - Check prices: Use
/worthwhile holding an item to see its sell value. Use/worth <item>to look up any item by name. - Jobs and farming: Mining ores, farming crops, fishing, and hunting mobs all yield sellable items. Find what is profitable and build around it.
Spending Money
- Player shops: Buy from other players at the community market or their own shops.
- Teleportation: Some warps and teleport commands may have small fees.
- Trade directly: Use
/pay <player> <amount>to send money to anyone online.
Check your balance anytime with /balance. Start by selling common materials (cobblestone, wood, crops) to build up funds, then move to higher-value items like diamonds and netherite.
🛡 How to Claim Land
We use GriefPrevention to protect your builds. No one can break, place, or interact with blocks inside your claim unless you trust them. You get a golden shovel from your starter kit — that is your claiming tool.
Creating a Claim
-
Equip your golden shovel.
Hold it in your hand. You will see glowstone and gold block outlines if you are standing in an existing claim. -
Right-click one corner.
Stand at one corner of the area you want to protect and right-click the ground with the golden shovel. A diamond block marker will appear. -
Right-click the opposite corner.
Walk to the diagonally opposite corner and right-click again. Your claim extends from bedrock to sky, so you only need to define the two corners on the surface.
Managing Your Claim
| Command | What It Does |
|---|---|
/trust <player> |
Give a player full build access in your claim. |
/containertrust <player> |
Let a player open chests and use buttons/doors, but not build. |
/accesstrust <player> |
Let a player use buttons, levers, and doors only. |
/untrust <player> |
Remove a player's access to your claim. |
/trustlist |
See who is trusted in the claim you are standing in. |
/abandonclaim |
Delete the claim you are standing in. Reclaims your block budget. |
/claimslist |
List all of your claims and their sizes. |
You earn claim blocks over time just by playing. The more you play, the more land you can protect. Check your available blocks with /claimslist.
🎤 How to Use Voice Chat
INVO-ke uses Simple Voice Chat for proximity-based voice communication. Players near you in-game can hear you talk, and the volume fades with distance — just like real life.
Setup (Java Only)
-
Install the mod.
Download Simple Voice Chat for your mod loader (Fabric or Forge). Drop it into yourmodsfolder. -
Launch Minecraft and join the server.
The mod will automatically connect to the server's voice chat. You will see a microphone icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen. -
Configure your mic.
Press V to open the voice chat settings. Select your microphone, adjust the volume, and set your activation mode (push-to-talk or voice activation).
Keybinds
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| V | Open voice chat settings menu. |
| Hold CAPS LOCK | Push-to-talk (default keybind — hold to transmit). |
| M | Mute/unmute your microphone. |
| - | Decrease voice chat volume. |
| + | Increase voice chat volume. |
Simple Voice Chat requires a client-side mod and is only available on Java Edition. Bedrock players can still use the text chat or an external voice app like Discord to communicate.
📜 Server Rules
We keep rules simple. Respect others and use common sense. Breaking these rules can result in warnings, mutes, kicks, or bans depending on severity.
- No griefing. — Do not destroy, steal from, or tamper with other players' builds or items, even if they are unclaimed.
- No cheating or exploits. — No hacked clients, x-ray, duplication glitches, or any unfair advantage. Optifine and approved performance mods are fine.
- Be respectful. — No harassment, hate speech, slurs, excessive toxicity, or targeting other players. Keep it friendly.
- No spam. — Do not flood chat, abuse commands, or spam teleport requests.
- No inappropriate builds or skins. — Keep it PG-13. This includes builds, item names, signs, and chat.
- No AFK machines or auto-farms that cause lag. — Redstone farms are fine as long as they do not tank server performance. If staff asks you to modify a build, please cooperate.
- Claim your builds. — Unclaimed builds are at risk. We will help recover griefed builds when possible, but claims are your best protection.
- Listen to staff. — Moderators and admins have the final say. If you have a concern, bring it up respectfully.
If you believe you were banned or punished unfairly, reach out on our Discord. We review every appeal.
