Underworld

The Underworld is accessible with /underworld or /uw. There are two Underworlds: Underworld-A and Underworld-B. They are functionally the same, and there are two to balance server load and reduce lag. If your company is already established in an Underworld (has claims in one), then /uw will bring you to that Underworld. Otherwise, /uw will bring you to one of the two Underworlds at random.

Here, players are able to build automatic farms and utilise company gameplay (see below). The underworld is made up of layers of stone, cobblestone, and deepslate from bedrock to sky limit with an unbreakable glass roof. There is a 4 block gap in the middle for players to be able to navigate the world. Players in the underworld are encouraged to create a company and claim their lands, however this is not required. However, containers such as chests and barrels as well as chunk hoppers are unable to be placed and used outside of claimed land.

The Companies aspect of MCLabs offers a side of the gameplay that is more productive using teamwork through creating or joining companies. The companies plugin allows you to create your own group of up to 15 players, and claim your land to protect it. Companies can only be used in the Underworld. Company claims are great way to protect your land and use company upgrades.

Company Basics

General Information

Companies are available in the all worlds but can only be used in the Underworld. If you are leading a company, make sure to set the abilities of different ranks in your faction with /c perm. The main commands are listed below, but you can view all of them with /c help as well.

Company Rules

• Company Hopping: Company hopping (broadly defined as “leaving or remaking a company to avoid restrictions”) is not allowed.
• Inappropriate Company Names: Company names must generally follow the same rules as chat and nicknames. If your company name is vulgar, derogatory, racist, or references another player without their permission you will be asked to change it.
• Company Titles and Names: You may not use faction titles and or color codes to obscure or fake the names of the people in your faction.

All server rules must also be followed. You can view those here: Rules.

Commands & Company Power

Company Commands

Here are the basic Company commands you need to know to get started:

• Create a company: /c create <company name>.
• Invite someone to your company: /c invite <player>
• Join a company: /c join <faction name>
• Claim land (by the chunk in a radius): /c claim <1-5>
• Set your company home: /c sethome
• Teleport to your company home: /c home
• Check total company power: /c who <company name>
• Check personal power: /c power
• View the company's upkeep breakdown: /c upkeep
• Fly in your company's claimed area: /c fly

Please view the official Companies wiki page for more details.

Company Power

The amount of land your company can claim is limited by the power of your company. Each player has their own amount of power, and the company's power is the total power of every player in the company. The number of chunks you can claim is limited by your company's power.

You can gain more personal company power by ranking up - view Ranks to see how much power is unlocked, and at which ranks.

Company Bank & Upkeep

Your company has a bank which all members are able to deposit into with /c deposit <amount>. The company leader and other trusted members are able to withdraw funds from your company balance with /c withdraw <amount>.

Your company bank is primarily used to pay for your daily upkeep. You can check your upkeep by using /c upkeep in the underworld. Every company is charged a daily upkeep fee, and the amount of upkeep your company pays per day is based on a number of factors. A few examples are:

• Claimed chunks: Each chunk claimed by your company costs money to maintain.
• Company upgrades: Your company is able to purchase upgrades with /c upgrades. Buying an upgrade deducts money from your company bank unless there are insufficient funds, in which case it is charged to the person making the purchase.
• Amount of chunk hoppers present in your claims: Containers and chunk hoppers must be in claimed company land in order to be used. Each chunk hopper present in a claim adds $12,500 to your daily upkeep costs

Upkeep is collected from every player in your company at 18:00 server time. This is known as "paying dues". By default, every player in the company pays equal dues to make up the amount that upkeep costs. This can be changed with /c dues setmode <mode>. If a player is unable to afford the dues for the day their portion will be deducted from the company bank.

If a company cannot afford upkeep for the day it will be frozen. Frozen companies will not be able to grow crops in their company lands until their company is unfrozen. This can be done by depositing money into the company bank.
