How to Create a Team¶
This guide walks you through creating a new team, inviting your first members, and getting everything set up. The whole process takes just a few minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Team¶
Run the following command to create a brand-new team:
/team create <name>
Naming Rules
Team names must be between 2 and 12 characters long. Choose wisely -- you can rename later with /team name <newname>, but your team's identity starts here.
Once created, you are automatically assigned as the Owner.
Step 2: Invite Players¶
Now that your team exists, bring in your friends:
/team invite <player>
The invited player will receive a message in chat. They need to accept the invite by running:
/team join <teamname>
Invite Expiry
Invitations expire after 120 seconds. If your friend misses it, just send a new invite.
You can invite as many players as your team level allows (10 members at Level 1).
Step 3: Customize Your Team¶
Make your team stand out with a color, tag, and description.
Set a Color¶
/team color <color>
This changes the color of your team name in chat and on the leaderboard. Use standard Minecraft color names (e.g., red, gold, aqua, dark_purple).
Set a Tag¶
/team tag <tag>
The tag appears next to your team name in chat -- think of it as a short abbreviation or motto.
Set a Description¶
/team description <text>
Other players see your description when they look up your team with /team info.
Step 4: Set a Team Home¶
Pick a central location for your base and run:
/team sethome
All team members can now teleport to this spot using /team home. You can move the home at any time by running /team sethome again from a new location.
Step 5: Create Warps¶
Warps are additional named teleport points for your team. You get up to 2 warps per team.
/team setwarp <name> [password]
Password-Protected Warps
Adding a password means teammates need to type it to use the warp:
Setting the warp:
/team setwarp vault secretpass
Using the warp:
/team warp vault secretpass
This is useful for restricting access to sensitive locations like storage rooms.
View all your team's warps with /team warps.
Managing Members¶
Once your team is up and running, you will need to manage your roster from time to time.
Promote and Demote¶
/team promote <player>
/team demote <player>
Kick a Player¶
/team kick <player>
Ban and Unban¶
/team ban <player>
/team unban <player>
Transfer Ownership¶
/team setowner <player>
This Cannot Be Undone Easily
Transferring ownership gives another player full control of the team. You will be demoted to Admin. Only do this if you are sure.
Team Ranks Explained¶
| Rank | Abilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything -- disband, rename, promote/demote, transfer ownership, manage all settings |
| Admin | Invite and kick players, manage warps, manage chest claims |
| Member | Use team chat, teleport to home and warps, open claimed chests |
Open Teams¶
Want anyone to be able to join without an invite? Toggle open mode:
/team open
When open mode is enabled, any player can join your team by running /team join <teamname> -- no invitation needed. Run the command again to close it.
When to Use Open Teams
Open teams are great for community events, public projects, or when you are actively recruiting and do not want to manually invite every player.
