Companies
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. They do, however, cost a daily upkeep depending on different variables. There is no raiding or pvp in the Underworld.
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 company 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 titles and or color codes to obscure or fake the names of the people in your company.
All server rules must also be followed. You can view those here: Rules.

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.
Dying will not lower your power, your power is a static number.
You can gain more personal company power by ranking up - view Ranks to see how much power is unlocked, and at which ranks.
Company Chemtainer, Lab, and Nexus
Company Chemtainer
Your company's chemtainer is a shared storage space for chems and compounds. Each chem has a capacity limit, which can be upgraded with a company upgrade based on the chem type. You can withdraw chems from the chemtainer from anywhere but Spawn.
Automatic Farm Collection
In the Underworld and Raid World, when an automatic chem crop grows, it is automatically harvested and sent to your company chemtainer.
Automatic crops include: - Sugar Cane - Melons - Pumpkins - Glow Berries - Cactus
This means you do not need to set up any machines or harvesters to harvest these crops. Simply make sure they have the space they would normally need to grow. When they would normally grow, the growth is cancelled and the result is sent to your company chemtainer.
Automatic farm chems are batch-collected and sent to your chemtainer every 10 seconds.
Chemtainer Furnaces
Your company chemtainer has built-in virtual furnaces to smelt any smeltable chems stored in your chemtainer. Click the furnace at the top of the company chemtainer GUI to manage them. You can buy more furnaces in this GUI to increase the smelting rate. Smelting is triggered by a batch of automatic farm chems.
Upgrading Growth Rates
Since there's no cost for this automatic collection, automatic crop growth rates are slower than vanilla by default. You can increase growth rates for both automatic and manual crops by purchasing crop upgrades in /c chunk. Note that these upgrades are on a chunk-by-chunk basis, so it's smart to build your farm for each type of chem in one or two chunks, so you can get the most value out of upgrading the chunk(s).
Manual Crops and Chest Linking
While automatic chems in the Underworld and Raid World go directly to your company chemtainer upon growth, manual chems still drop normally and need to be collected.
The best way to collect manual crops is with Chunk Hoppers. They collect all items dropped in a chunk (optionally filtered to only specific items) and move them directly to chests, wirelessly.
You can set up one chest for each chem type to be linked to your company chemtainer. Every 10 seconds, all chems of that type in the chest will be sent to your company chemtainer.
- Link a chest by looking at it and using/c ch setchest <chem>- Similarly, you can set an input chest for fuel (which collects all major fuel type items) with/c ch setchest fuel. - Linked chests collection is triggered with every automatic farm batch, so make sure you have some automatic farms set up.
Chemtainer Tool
The chemtainer tool offers a shortcut for unloading chems from your company chemtainer to a chest.
To use it:
- Get one with/c ch tool <chem>- If you'd like to unload compounds, from your Nexus Lab inventory usenexus<1-4>as the chem. - Right-click the chest you'd like to unload the chems into.
Note that there is currently corresponding method to manually load chems from chests into the chemtainer. The fastest way to do so is to move them to your inventory and use /c ch qd (quick-deposits all chems in your inventory into the company chemtainer).
Company Lab
Compound Slots
Purity
Lab Inventory
Company Nexus and Upgrades
Your Company Nexus is the link between your company chemtainer and lab to the Raid World. In the Raid World, you can have a physical Nexus Core chunk. While this core is active, you can generate Raid Points to purchase powerful upgrades from /c upgrades. Read Raid World for much more info.
Company Upkeep
Your company upkeep will vary depending on player amount, chunk claims, chunk hoppers and farm upgrades.
