HarmonyNetwork Wiki

1. Getting Started

HarmonyNetwork is a modern Minecraft Java Edition network hosted in Sydney, Australia. Our network architecture uses Velocity as the proxy gateway to route players securely into individual Paper backend servers.

Connection Details

Connecting to Gamemodes

When you connect, you will land in The Hub. You can switch to any world at any time by typing the following commands in chat:

• /skyblock (or /sb) — Teleports you to the Skyblock realm.
• /survival — Teleports you to the Survival wilderness.
• /creative — Teleports you to the Creative plot world.
• /hub (or /lobby) — Returns you to the central lobby.
• /servers — Displays available realms and your current location.

2. Skyblock Guide

Skyblock runs on HarmonySkyblock, our own island plugin. You start on a floating void island with a few supplies, then build it up through missions, upgrades, and island value.

Starting Your Island

When you first enter /skyblock, create your new island:

• /is create: choose a desert, jungle, or mushroom starter.
• /is home: return to your island spawn.
• /is sethome: move your island spawn to where you are standing.

Cobblestone Generator Upgrades

Your traditional water-and-lava cobblestone generator is upgraded! Instead of merely producing plain cobblestone, generators have progressive ore drop percentages that increase as you level up your island:

Co-op & Island Permissions

You do not have to conquer the void alone. Form an alliance with friends:

• /is invite <player>: invite someone onto your island.
• /is accept: accept a pending invitation.
• /is kick <player>: remove a member.
• /is leave: leave your current island.
• /is permissions: set who can build, open containers, and visit.

Stacking, Missions, and Value

Sneak and right-click a block with the same block to stack it. Sneak and break takes the whole stack. The full stack counts toward your island value and level. Spawners stack the same way when the mob matches: a taller stack is worth more and spawns faster.

• /is missions: daily and milestone challenges for crystals and island funds.
• /is value: see your island value, including stacked blocks and spawners.
• /is top: the highest value and level islands.
• /is bank: deposit or withdraw the shared island treasury.

3. Survival Guide

Harmony Survival offers a pure Minecraft experience with essential quality-of-life additions. The economy is player-driven, and player creations are backed by HarmonyCoreProtect.

Homes & Waypoints

Never lose your base. Every player has access to personal home locations:

• /sethome [name] — Sets a home point at your current position (e.g. /sethome base).
• /home [name] — Teleports you immediately back to your designated home.
• /delhome <name> — Removes an existing saved home.
• /homes — Lists all your saved home waypoints.

Player Teleportation

To meet up with friends in the survival wilderness:

• /tpa <player> — Sends a request to teleport to that player's location.
• /tpahere <player> — Requests that the player teleports to your location.
• /tpaccept — Accepts an incoming teleportation request.
• /tpdeny — Declines an incoming teleportation request.

HarmonyCoreProtect Rollback Protection

If your build is griefed, defaced, or your chests are rifled through:

1. Do not break any remaining blocks or attempt to rebuild immediately.
2. Note the coordinates (press F3).
3. Submit a support ticket on our Discord (invite code: rspWnd7ax8) or email our team at mc@harmonynetwork.au (never post grief reports, player accusations, or appeals on the public forum).
4. Staff will inspect the logs using HarmonyCoreProtect, investigate the situation, and let you know what we find.

Mob Health & Combat Feedback

Whenever you engage in combat or damage hostile, neutral, or passive mobs, our custom HarmonyMobHealth system dynamically displays the mob's remaining health and health bar overhead, alongside real-time damage statistics on your action bar. Mob health is permanently active across all servers to maintain clear, consistent combat visibility for all players.

4. Creative Guide

The Creative realm (/creative) is dedicated to boundless architectural design, redstone experimentation, and collaborative building. The realm is powered by a high-performance grid plot system with instant Creative mode flight and unlimited resources.

Claiming Your Plot

Every player is entitled to claim their own dedicated plot free of charge. You can claim a plot in two easy ways:

1. Auto-Claim (Recommended): Type /plot auto (or /p auto). The server will automatically locate the closest available plot, claim it in your name, and teleport you directly to it.
2. Manual Claim: Explore the plot grid on foot or by flying. When standing inside an unclaimed plot (bordered by stone slabs), type /plot claim to claim that specific plot.

Building with Friends

• Trusted Builders: /plot trust <player> grants a player full building access on your plot, even when you are offline.
• Temporary Helpers: /plot add <player> permits a player to build only while you are actively online in the realm.
• Revoking Access: /plot remove <player> instantly strips building privileges from the specified player.
• Denying Troublemakers: /plot deny <player> bans a specific user from entering your plot boundaries.

Plot Management & Utilities

• /plot home (or /p h) — Return to your claimed plot from anywhere on the Creative server.
• /plot info (or /p i) — View coordinates, owner, trusted members, and biome details for the plot you are in.
• /plot set biome <biome> — Change the environmental biome (e.g. cherry_grove, plains, jungle).
• /plot clear — Reset all blocks within your plot boundaries back to pristine grass while keeping ownership.
• /plot delete — Unclaim your plot and restore the terrain, releasing it for other builders.

5. Prison & Survival Plots Guide

The Prison realm (/prison) combines classic ranking progression with a dedicated survival plot economy. Mine your way through sectors A to Z, sell your materials to the Store, and invest your earnings into building materials to construct your personal base on your private Survival Plot.

The Prison Store & Economy

The Prison economy is fully integrated with Vault and the server Store:

• Store Menu: Type /store or /shop to access categorized storefronts: Building Blocks, Decorative Items, Mining, Redstone, Farming, and Valuables.
• Buying Items: Left-click any item in the store to buy single units, or shift-click for full stacks (64x).
• Selling to the Store: Right-click items in the store menu to sell them, or use /sellhand to sell what you are holding.
• Instant Sellall: Use /sellall to instantly sell all sellable ores and blocks from your inventory at peak prices.
• Checking Balances: View your bank account anytime using /balance (or /bal) or pay allies with /pay <player> <amount>.

Survival Plots

Every inmate is entitled to claim their own 42 × 42 block plot in the plots realm.

• Survival Mechanics: Unlike Creative plots, Prison plots operate strictly in Survival mode. You place blocks that you have physically earned, mined, or purchased from the store.
• Claiming: Type /plot auto (or /p auto) to claim an open survival plot.
• Returning to Base: Type /plot home (or /p h) from anywhere on the Prison realm to instantly teleport to your plot.
• Returning to the Mines: Type /prison or /spawn to return to the prison sector lobby and start mining again.
• Teaming Up: Cooperate with fellow inmates by running /plot trust <player> to let trusted partners build on your plot.

6. In-Game & Web Authentication

HarmonyNetwork does not rely on traditional, vulnerable passwords. Instead, our accounts use cryptographic in-game verification:

7. Private Messaging & Group Chats

All private and group chat commands are network-wide — they work from any realm (Hub, Survival, Skyblock, Creative, Prison) and messages are delivered instantly across servers.

Private Messages

Send a one-to-one whisper to any online player:

• /msg <player> <text> — Opens a private channel with that player. Aliases: /m, /w, /tell, /whisper.
• /r <text> — Quickly reply to the last person who whispered you (or the last person you whispered). Alias: /reply.
• /r <player> <text> — Reply to a specific player by name. Useful when you have been talking to multiple people and want to be sure your reply reaches the right one.

Group Chats

Group chats let you create a persistent private channel with multiple friends across all realms. Any group member can send messages to the whole group at any time.

Managing Your Groups

• /groupchat list (/gc list) — Lists every group you currently belong to.
• Tab-completion is available for both group names and player names on all messaging commands.
• Group membership is active for the current server session. Groups reset when the proxy restarts.

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Can Bedrock Edition players connect?

At this time, HarmonyNetwork is exclusively Java Edition. Bedrock support (via Geyser) may be evaluated in a future update once our Java network infrastructure is fully mature.

What happens if I lose my items or get griefed?

All block and inventory changes are permanently recorded in our network database by HarmonyCoreProtect. Submit a support ticket on our Discord (invite code: rspWnd7ax8) or email mc@harmonynetwork.au with your coordinates (never post reports on the public forum). Our staff will inspect the database logs, investigate the situation, and let you know what we find.

How do I log in to this website if I am away from my computer?

If you have already linked your Discord or Twitch account from your Account page, you can simply click "Sign in with Discord" or "Sign in with Twitch" on the Login page from any device (phone, laptop, work PC) without needing to boot Minecraft!

Are donor ranks pay-to-win?

No. HarmonyNetwork strictly adheres to the Mojang Commercial Guidelines. All store perks available on our Store are cosmetic (chat colours, titles, particle effects) or convenience-based. We do not sell unfair combat advantages or game-breaking items.

Why are VPNs and anonymous proxies blocked?

HarmonyNetwork automatically screens and blocks connections originating from commercial VPNs, anonymous proxies, and hosting datacenters. This policy is essential to protect both us (the server owners) and our player community from griefing, botting, and malicious conduct. Attempting to bypass security filters or circumvent an IP ban will result in immediate permanent action against all associated accounts. If you receive a VPN warning, simply turn off your VPN or proxy and join directly using play.harmonynetwork.au.

What plugins do you use?

HarmonyNetwork runs a curated combination of proven community platforms alongside our own custom-engineered plugin suite. Because our network requires deep integration across multiple realms and the web platform, we build and maintain bespoke solutions rather than relying on generic third-party plugins that may fall out of date:
