Game guide

Quick answers for your next adventure.

The website explains the systems in plain language. The in-game /guide remains the fastest source for commands, live leaderboard views, and rules acceptance.

Getting started

Play first. Link later.

Guests accept the rules in /guide to become Newcomers. Discord is optional for play, but an active linked identity is required for the automatic Member and Trusted timer.

01

Newcomer

Unlocked immediately after rules acceptance. You can play, claim land, use core survival features, and access the free cosmetic set.

02

Member

Earned automatically after 4 hours of eligible linked playtime.

03

Trusted

Earned after 24 hours of eligible linked playtime. Trusted unlocks carefully protected mechanics such as VeinMiner.

04

Account tools

Use /account to inspect profiles, choose a leaderboard primary profile, unlink, and view personal rankings.

Relics & enchantments

Ten custom enchantments. One Great Tree ritual.

Craft a named relic, convert it at the shrine, keep the matching book in your inventory, hold the target item, and complete the shrine interaction. Use /relic for the live recipe menu.

Safety, claims & PvP

Protection is part of the gameplay loop.

P

Opt-in PvP

Both players must enable PvP with /pvp on. Arena combat is managed separately.

C

Land claims

Your starter golden shovel protects builds with GriefPrevention. Custom mining mechanics honor claim boundaries.

R

Private reports

Use /report <player> <reason>. Reports go to staff; do not escalate problems publicly.

T

Chat controls

Severe language is blocked. /pc controls ordinary profanity visibility for your own chat experience.

Arenas & rewards

Fight players or challenge the Relic Shrine.

Managed arenas intentionally disable custom enchant functionality so wins come from the arena rules, not outside gear advantages.

Player Arena

/arena

Join signup, fight under arena protections, earn per-kill rewards, and reclaim temporary build materials if inventory space runs out.

Mob Arena

Relic Shrine challenge

A solo escalating mob challenge where higher progress awards stronger shard rewards.

Reward storage

/reward

Arena drops are kept in reward storage instead of being lost to a full inventory.

Fair play

Custom effects sleep

No custom enchant effects, costs, cooldowns, or Soulbound retention while inside managed arena combat.

Travel, tools & events

Less busywork, more reasons to explore.

Woolevators

Place matching wool colors over slime blocks. Jump to move up; sneak to move down. Upward travel costs XP by distance, while downward travel is free.

Trusted VeinMiner

Use /vm on as Trusted. Natural ores and trees chain-break while player blocks and claim borders remain protected.

Thornmoon

A rare full-moon forecast event. Use /thornmoon for live details; during the event, players gain Swiftness II and natural hostile XP is doubled.

Random teleport

/rtp opens LeafBound’s random teleport flow for supported worlds.

Death & recovery

Dying should create a recovery story—not delete your week.

Death Chests protect ordinary inventory drops for recovery. Soulbound items remain with you on death. Last Leaf and No Fall provide additional armor-based safety outside managed arenas.

Community systems

Useful even when your friends are offline.

Mailboxes

Claim-based delivery

A claim owner can mark a sign [mailbox]. Visitors may deposit; only the owner can withdraw.

Weekly titles

Leaderboard recognition

Weekly category leaders can earn titles displayed with their player name.

Discord

Optional identity

Linking enables rank progression, community role sync, and cross-community chat without becoming a requirement to play.

Two profiles

Java + Bedrock

A LeafBound account can hold one active Java profile and one active Bedrock profile. Choose which profile represents you on leaderboards through /account.

Cosmetics

Pets, trails, arrivals, auras, and username colors.

Guests get none. After rules acceptance, every Newcomer gets one free option in each category. Supporter collections add more choices without changing gameplay.

🐝

Pets

The free Bee and supporter pets follow their owner. Use a renamed Name Tag on your summoned pet to give that pet type a persistent personal name.

Trails & auras

Trails react to movement; auras appear while idle. Effects are designed to stay lightweight and crossplay-friendly.

Arrivals

Select a join effect that plays when you enter the server.

A

Username colors

Choose from curated colors while keeping rank prefixes authoritative and readable.
