Hello and welcome to Sparky's Minecraft. Sparky's Minecaft (focuses on building, economy and the community).

Player Commands

 * /warp spawn – teleports you to spawn (Costs 50 Credits)
 * /sethome - designates your current location as your 'home'. (Costs 250 Credits)
 * /home - teleports you your "home" (Free)
 * /money – shows you how much money you have (more in money in the Economy section below)
 * /money pay [player] [amount] - This will pay the [player] the [amount] of Credits.
 * /mail [name] [message] – Sends a private message to another player.
 * /mail read - Shows all your unread messages
 * /mail clear - Deletes all the messages in your inbox.
 * /who – shows who is online

Joining a town
The map is divided into zones driven by the players (called Cities), and the Wilderness (which is for everyone). All cities currrently belong to the Minecraft Union (A nation).

A city is run by the founders, and usually have citizens. You can join a city by talking to the cities's founders. A list of the cities and their founders can be found on the Wiki site.

The Wilderness surrounds the towns. Everyone can build in the Wilderness with little restrictions (read the Rules for further information on this). Just remember to put up a sign saying it is yours!

Lockette (Lock your Chests, Doors, Furnaces)
With this little plugin one can lock his chests, doors and furnaces and protect them from other players stealing them. The protected object will be indestructible for everyone else, except for the person who placed the lock and of course admins. In the case of chests and furnaces, no one can open them.

To lock something, simply place a sign with the heading [Private] on it. This works for chests, furnaces and doors.

Economy
Using our economy system players can trade with each other with ease.

Each players has a salary of 120 credits per hour. Using this money, players can buy materials, houses and even hire people to help you with your building projects.

Earning money can be done by selling stuff or helping other players build.
 * /money – shows you how much money you have (more in money in the Economy section below)
 * /money pay [player] [amount] - This will pay the [player] the [amount] of Credits.

Minecart System
The Minecraft Union Railsystem connects all cities to Grand Central, enabling fast travel between them. It is completely free and mincarts are provided in the station.

To use it, simply go to one of the stations and place your minecart on the tracks.
