Lifesteal Wiki

MangoMC runs on Paper 1.21.11 and accepts both Java and Bedrock players. The two editions connect on different addresses.

Java Edition

play.mangomc.org

1. Open Minecraft: Java Edition
2. Click Multiplayer, then Add Server
3. Put anything you like in Server Name
4. Paste play.mangomc.org into Server Address
5. Click Done, then join

Bedrock Edition

bedrock.mangosmp.org

Note that this is a different address to the Java one — mangosmp.org, not mangomc.org. Using the Java address on Bedrock will not connect.

1. Open Minecraft: Bedrock Edition
2. Go to Play, then the Servers tab
3. Scroll to the bottom and choose Add Server
4. Put anything you like in Server Name
5. Enter bedrock.mangosmp.org as the Server Address
6. Leave the port at its default unless told otherwise
7. Save and join

Reaching the Lifesteal realm

MangoMC runs more than one realm. Lifesteal is the one this wiki covers; there is also a Vanilla realm with entirely different systems.

You land in the hub. There are two ways across:

1. Use the compass. Every player is given one in the hub. Right-click it to open the server selector and choose Lifesteal.
2. Or type it. /server lifesteal takes you straight there from anywhere in the hub.

The compass is the one to remember — it is in your inventory the moment you join and it lists every realm the network runs.

Which version to use

The server runs Paper 1.21.11. Java clients on that version connect cleanly. If you are on an older or newer client and cannot get in, check Discord for the currently supported range.

What to do first

Read your first hour. It covers the things that will otherwise catch you out — including a spawn hazard that is worth knowing about before you stand still.

Lifesteal is a PvP realm. Killing another player takes hearts from them and gives them to you; dying costs you hearts. Run out and you are locked out of the server until you are revived.

That single rule shapes everything else. Here is how to spend your first hour so it does not cost you.

Before you move

Get out of spawn and find land

The main survival world has a border of 15,000 × 15,000 blocks. Everything you build has to sit inside it.

/rtp

Random-teleports you out into the world. This is the fastest way to get clear of spawn and the players hunting near it.

There is a cooldown between uses, which varies by rank.

Understand the grace period

At the start of each season there is a grace period. During it, PvP is enabled — but no heart loss occurs and raiding is disabled.

This is the window to establish yourself. Read the grace period for exactly what is and is not protected, and note that being unable to lose hearts is not the same as being unable to die.

Join or start a clan

Almost every system on this realm runs through clans: claiming land, shared storage, the shield window, the leaderboard.

• If someone has invited you: /clan accept
• To find a clan: /clan list or /clan top
• To start your own: /clan create <name>

Joining an established clan is usually a better first hour than founding one — you get claims, storage and defenders immediately. See creating a clan.

Know what combat tagging does

The moment you hit or are hit by another player, you are combat tagged for 180 seconds. While tagged you cannot teleport, cannot swap relics, and cannot use escape commands.

You cannot run from a fight by typing. Read combat tagging before you pick one.

Start earning

The economy runs on spawners — real, physical blocks you build grinders around. They accrue value over five days and convert into clan points.

That is a longer-term project than your first hour, but it is worth knowing early that spawners reward being left alone inside a claim rather than being moved around.

You start with $1,000. That is a working float, not a war chest — enough for tools and a first few purchases, well short of a spawner.

Chat and cosmetics

Chat supports colours and formatting, and there is an auto-announcement every five minutes carrying server information.

/cosmetics

Opens chat colour options.

A checklist

1. Get away from spawn — and do not stand still there
2. /rtp somewhere far out
3. Join or create a clan
4. Read the grace period so you know when protection ends
5. Read combat tagging before your first fight
6. Bank anything valuable in the clan bank — it survives death and raids

If you get stuck

In-game help requests forward to Discord, and there is a ticket system for anything that needs a human. See getting support.

Every season opens with a grace period — a window where the two most punishing systems on the realm are switched off while everyone establishes themselves.

What grace actually does

Three things are true during the grace period:

	During grace
PvP	Enabled
Heart loss	Does not occur
Raiding	Disabled

Read that first row carefully, because it is the one people misread.

Why it exists

Two reasons, and both are about the shape of a season’s opening.

Hearts compound. In a system where killing takes hearts from the loser, whoever wins the first fights snowballs. Grace lets everyone reach a baseline before that starts.

Bases take time. Raiding being off means a clan can establish a core, claim land and build depth before anyone can breach it. A season where raiding opened on minute one would be decided by whoever logged in first.

How long it lasts

On a normal season, grace runs for around 3 days.

Against a four-week map that is roughly a tenth of the season spent unable to lose hearts — enough to get established, short enough that it is not the season.

What to do with it

The grace period is the only time you can build without a raid interrupting you. Spend it on the things that are hard to do later:

1. Get far from spawn. Distance is free now and expensive once raiding opens.
2. Place your core and claim around it.
3. Set your shield window. It is the only protection that works while you are offline, and only the Leader and Co-Leader can set it.
4. Build depth, not just walls. Note the claims known issue — mining inside claims is currently not being denied, so thickness matters more than boundary lines.
5. Start a spawner grinder. Value accrues over five days, so the sooner it is running the better.

When grace ends

Heart loss and raiding both switch on. Nothing announces itself in your inventory — the change is that dying now costs you hearts, and your base can now be attacked.

If you have not set a shield window by then, your base is unprotected during every hour you are offline.

The Lifesteal realm wipes seasonally. At the end of a season, the map resets and progress starts again from zero.

This is deliberate, and it is the single most important thing to understand about how time invested here works.

How long a season runs

One month — four weeks per map.

That is short by Minecraft server standards, and it is the point. A four-week map means the clan that starts fastest cannot coast to the end on a lead, and it means a season you missed the start of is never far from finishing.

The current season

Season 2, currently in beta ahead of full launch.

Beta means systems are still being confirmed and balanced. Some of what is documented on this wiki is marked unconfirmed for exactly that reason.

What carries over

Two things survive a wipe:

• Purchased ranks. A rank bought this season still applies next season.
• Gold. Bought on the store, and not reset with the map.

Everything else belongs to the current map.

The Reset Vault

Playing a season well

Because everything resets, the value of a season is where you finish, not what you accumulate. Clan points decide standing, and they come from kills, spawners, upgrades and events.

The Weekly Point Race runs on a weekly reset alongside the season, which gives clans something winnable on a shorter horizon than the whole map.

Lifesteal is a single rule applied ruthlessly: hearts move between players when they kill each other. Beat someone and you take from their maximum health. Lose and you give some of yours away.

Your heart count is not a health bar that refills. It is your maximum — the ceiling you heal back up to. Losing hearts makes you permanently easier to kill until you win them back.

The exchange rate

The heart cap

Withdrawing hearts

/withdraw

Takes hearts out of your health and turns them into something you can hold or hand over.

Running out

When hearts are safe

During the grace period at the start of each season, PvP is enabled but no heart loss occurs. You can still be killed and still lose your inventory — you just do not lose hearts for it.

Once grace ends, every death costs.

Rules around hearts

Lifesteal servers put a real cost on losing: run out of hearts and you are banned from playing for a period of time. On this realm that system exists, and other players can bring you back from it.

The terms — how long the ban lasts, how you get revived — are not confirmed.

The death ban system

A death ban system is confirmed to be running on the server.

Death bans and ranks

Rank perks are not documented on this wiki — they live on the store. One question about them is a gamemode question rather than a perk listing, though, and it belongs here.

Reviving

/revive

A revive system exists, and it is how a banned player gets back in before their ban expires.

Evading a death ban is bannable

If something goes wrong

If you believe a death ban was applied incorrectly, or you hit a bug involving one, open a Discord ticket. Appeals go through the same route.

Do not fabricate evidence to support an appeal — Forging Proof is itself a Tier 3 offence.

See getting support.

The moment you hit another player, or another player hits you, you are combat tagged. While the tag is on you, the escape routes are closed.

This is what stops fights being decided by who types fastest.

How long it lasts

180 seconds — three minutes — counted from the last hit taken or dealt.

The timer resets on every hit. A drawn-out fight keeps you tagged continuously, and the three minutes only start counting down once the hitting stops.

What it blocks

While you are combat tagged you cannot:

• Teleport — including /clan home
• Swap relics
• Use escape commands

Relic swapping specifically

The relic restriction is worth calling out separately, because it interacts with what a raid costs you.

Equipped relics drop at your core if your core is destroyed. You might reasonably want to unequip them when a fight starts going badly — and that is exactly what the tag prevents.

Swap relics before a contested window, not during one. See relics.

Logging out while tagged

Disconnecting while combat tagged carries a penalty.

Evading combat is a punishable offence

The tag is a mechanic. The rules back it up.

Fighting with the tag in mind

A few things follow directly from a three-minute, hit-refreshed tag:

• Disengaging is a physical problem, not a command. You need distance and cover, not a keybind.
• Third parties are dangerous. Anyone who lands a hit on you refreshes your timer, so a fight you had almost escaped can restart with one arrow.
• Your shield window does not help you personally. It protects your core and claims. You can still be killed inside your own shielded base, and it still costs hearts.

A clan is a group of players who share territory, storage and a place on the leaderboard. Almost everything that makes progress on this realm — claiming land, banking money, storing gear, earning points — runs through one. Playing solo is possible, but you will be doing it without claims, without a shield and without a core.

Most players join an existing clan rather than starting one. If someone has already invited you, skip to joining a clan.

Starting your own

/clan create <name>

That creates the clan and makes you its Leader.

Creating the clan is only the first step. A clan with no core is a chat channel — you cannot claim land or be raided until you place one. Read the clan core next.

Joining a clan

If you have been invited:

/clan accept

To turn down an invite, use /clan deny. To ask to join a clan directly, use /clan join <clan>.

To find clans to join, /clan list shows every clan on the server and /clan top shows the current leaderboard.

Inviting players

/clan invite <player>

The player then runs /clan accept on their end.

A clan holds a maximum of 10 members. The cap is fixed — no rank and no store item raises it, and extra slots cannot be bought.

Roles

Clans have a role hierarchy. Roles decide who can withdraw from the bank, set the shield window, claim chunks and kick members.

Command	What it does
/clan promote <player>	Moves a member up one role
/clan demote <player>	Moves a member down one role
/clan setrole <player> <role>	Sets a member’s role directly
/clan members	Lists everyone in the clan
/clan roster	Shows the roster with roles

Two roles are confirmed by name: Leader and Co-Leader. Both can set the shield window; nobody else can.

Leaving and removing players

• /clan leave — leave the clan you are in
• /clan kick <player> — remove a member
• /clan disband — delete the clan entirely

Clan chat

/clan chat — alias /clan c — switches your messages to clan-only chat, so you can call out raids and coordinates without broadcasting them to the server.

Checking on a clan

• /clan info — details about your own clan
• /clan who <player> — which clan a player belongs to
• /clan logs — recent clan activity
• /clan rename <name> — change the clan name

Your core is a physical block you place in the world. It is the anchor for everything your clan owns — your claims exist because your core exists, and when a raid comes, the core is what the attackers are trying to break.

Think of it as your clan’s health bar made of stone. Everything else you build is there to keep people away from it.

Placing your core

Cores are craftable.

Once placed, /clan core shows your core’s status.

Choose the spot carefully. Your core determines where your claims can be, and moving it later is possible but restricted — see relocating your core.

Core health

Your core has hit points. Raiders reduce them; at zero, the core is destroyed.

Core health is upgradeable with hearts, bought in blocks of 100 HP:

Cost per 100 HP	10 hearts10
Maximum core health	300 HP

/clan upgrade

Taking a core from its base health to the 300 HP maximum is a real investment in hearts — health you are not carrying yourself. That is the trade: a tougher core, a squishier clan.

The health hologram

Your core displays a live health-bar hologram floating above it, so you can see its condition at a glance without running a command. During a raid this is the fastest way to tell how much damage has landed.

Relocating your core

You can move your core after placing it, but the move is on a cooldown — you cannot shuffle it around to dodge an incoming raid.

When your core is destroyed

This is the part worth reading before it happens to you.

What you lose: every relic your clan has equipped drops on the ground at the core. All three slots. Whoever broke your core is standing right there when they land.

What you keep:

• Your clan bank — the money is not touched
• Your clan vault — the items are not touched

Both survive core destruction outright. That is worth building around: anything you genuinely cannot afford to lose belongs in the vault, not in a chest next to the core.

The clan survives

Losing a core is not losing the clan. Your members, your upgrades and whatever remains in the bank all persist — you rebuild from a setback, not from nothing.

Protecting your core

Three systems keep your core alive, and they work at different times:

1. The shield window — a scheduled daily period where the core takes zero damage. Works while you are offline.
2. Claims — stop attackers building and breaking their way in.
3. Core health upgrades — more HP simply takes longer to chew through.

None of them stop a determined raid during your unshielded hours. Depth of build and active defenders do.

Claiming marks a chunk of the world as your clan’s territory. Inside a claim, players who are not in your clan are blocked from interfering with what you have built.

A chunk is a 16×16 block column running from bedrock to sky — the same grid Minecraft itself uses. Claims are made one chunk at a time.

Claiming and unclaiming

Stand in the chunk you want and run:

/clan claim

To release a chunk you no longer want:

/clan unclaim

To see what you already own:

/clan map

That draws a map of the chunks around you and marks which are claimed, which is far easier than guessing at boundaries in the world.

Claiming costs 2 hearts per chunk, paid from your own health. A 25-chunk clan has therefore spent 50 hearts on territory alone — land is the single biggest heart cost in the game.

What a claim stops

The design is full block protection inside your claim: players outside your clan should not be able to alter anything within it.

Here is what is actually enforced right now.

Action by a non-member	Status
Placing blocks	Denied
Breaking blocks	See the known issue below
Opening containers	Denied

Building is blocked

Players outside your clan cannot place blocks inside your claim. This is working as intended.

Mining is not blocked

Containers

Protection blocks

Beyond chunk claims, the realm has protection blocks — placeable blocks that add another layer of defence to your base.

Where you can claim

Claims are made in the main survival world. The world border is 15,000 × 15,000 blocks, so there is a hard edge to how far out you can settle — see worlds and the map.

Claims and raiding

During a raid, claims are the outer layer an attacker has to get through before reaching your core. While your shield window is up, claims cannot be broken at all and raids are blocked outright.

Your clan picks a time of day when it is untouchable. During that window nobody can damage your core, break your claims, or raid you — and it runs whether or not a single member is online.

This is the single most important defensive system in the realm, and it is not a shield you charge up or activate when you are under attack. It is a scheduled daily window. You choose when it happens; you do not choose to switch it on once a raid has started.

How it works

Your clan sets two things: a start hour and a duration. Every day, at that hour, the shield comes up for that long. While it is up:

• Your clan core takes zero damage
• Your claimed chunks cannot be broken into
• Raids against your clan are blocked entirely

When the window closes, all three protections drop until the same time the next day.

The shield does not care whether anyone is logged in. It is a property of the clan, not of your online members, so it protects you overnight and while you are at work or school.

Setting your window

/clan settings

The clan leader picks a start hour from 0 to 23, in EST — the server’s timezone. That hour is when the shield comes up, every day.

Countdown warnings

The server broadcasts a countdown at 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5 minutes before the shield opens and before it closes.

Those closing warnings are for you as much as for anyone else. Five minutes is enough to log off somewhere safe, finish a repair, or get people online — treat the last broadcast as the end of your safe hours, not the start of a scramble.

Everyone can see your window

This is the part players miss, and it changes how you should think about the whole system.

Shield windows are public. Any clan can look up when yours is active, which means they also know exactly when it is not. Raiders plan around published windows — a clan that shields from 02:00 to 08:00 is advertising that 08:01 is the best time to hit them.

Making the window longer

Every clan starts with a 4 hour window. Hearts buy more, to a maximum of 8 hours — a third of the day.

Upgrade	Cost
4 → 5 hours	8 hearts8
5 → 6 hours	12 hearts12
6 → 7 hours	18 hearts18
7 → 8 hours	25 hearts25

Going the whole way from 4 to 8 hours costs 63 hearts. The steps get steeper as you go, so the last hour costs more than three times the first — decide early how much of the day you actually need covered rather than upgrading on impulse.

/clan upgrade

What the shield does not do

The shield protects your core and your claims. It does not protect you.

• You can still be killed while your shield is up, and you still lose hearts for it
• Combat tagging still applies normally
• Your clan can still raid others while shielded

The shield is a defence for your base, not a truce.

Who can set it

The clan leader sets the start hour through /clan settings.

Role	Can set the shield window
Leader	Yes
Co-Leader	Yes
Every other role	No

The clan bank is a pot of money every member contributes to and the clan spends from. It funds upgrades, replacement gear and anything else the clan buys collectively.

It is also the safest place on the server to keep money.

Depositing and withdrawing

/clan bank

Any member can deposit. There is no role requirement to put money in.

Withdrawals are permission-gated. Only members whose role allows it can take money out, which stops a new recruit from emptying the clan the hour they join.

What makes it safe

Three things, and together they make the bank the correct default for clan money:

• It is persistent. Money in the bank stays there across sessions.
• There is no cap. You can bank any amount.
• It survives core destruction. If a raid takes your core, the bank is untouched.

That last point is the important one. When your core falls, equipped relics drop on the ground for the attacker to pick up — but the bank does not. A raided clan loses its position and its relics, not its treasury.

Where clan money comes from

The main earners on this realm are spawner grinders and selling what you farm. See earning money for the full picture.

Amounts are written with a $. The currency has no special name — it is money.

Gold is a separate currency, bought on the store, and does not go in the clan bank. See gold.

Bank and vault are different things

	Clan bank	Clan vault
Holds	Money	Items
Capacity	No cap	Upgradeable to 4 rows
Survives core destruction	Yes	Yes
Any member can add	Yes	—

The clan vault is shared item storage. Unlike a chest in your base, it cannot be raided — it survives your core being destroyed — and more than one member can be inside it at the same time.

Opening the vault

/clan vault

Multiple members can access it simultaneously. You do not have to wait for someone else to close it before you can take gear out, which matters during a raid when several people are re-kitting at once.

Size

Every clan gets 1 row — 9 slots — free on creation. Rows after that cost hearts, and hearts only; there is no money price.

Tier	Size	Cost
Base	1 row · 9 slots	Free
Tier 1	2 rows · 18 slots	5 hearts5
Tier 2	3 rows · 27 slots	15 hearts15
Tier 3	4 rows · 36 slots	25 hearts25

/clan upgrade

Fully upgrading the vault costs 45 hearts for 27 extra slots. Worth weighing against core health and your shield window, which compete for the same hearts.

What cannot go in

Two things are blocked from vault storage:

• Shulker boxes
• Hearts

Shulkers are blocked because they would multiply the vault’s real capacity many times over. Hearts are blocked because the vault is raid-proof, and a raid-proof heart store would remove the risk that holding hearts is supposed to carry.

Disbanding destroys it

It survives raids

When your core is destroyed, the vault is not lost. Its contents are untouched, exactly like the clan bank.

This makes the vault the correct place for anything you cannot cheaply replace. The things a raid actually takes from you are:

• Equipped relics, which drop at the core
• Anything in ordinary chests that the raiders reach
• Whatever you were carrying when you died

The vault is on none of those lists.

Relics are physical items your clan equips to gain an effect. They are the clan-wide equivalent of gear: rare, expensive to slot, and the one thing a successful raid takes from you.

Getting relics

Relics are not craftable. There is no recipe and no shop entry. They come from:

• Lootboxes
• Rare loot

That scarcity is the point — a relic represents luck or grinding, not a purchase.

Equipping them

Your clan has up to 3 relic slots. Each slot has to be unlocked before you can use it, and each unlock costs both hearts and cash.

Tiers

Relics come in three tiers:

Tier
Common
Rare
Legendary

Deep Pockets

The one relic confirmed by name. While equipped, it grants your clan an extra row of vault storage — nine more slots, without spending the hearts a real upgrade costs.

It also shows how relics are meant to work: a slot given over to Deep Pockets is a slot not spent on something else, so the question is never “is this good” but “is this better than the alternative”.

Swapping relics

Relics can be swapped freely — except in the two situations where you would most want to.

You cannot swap relics while:

• your clan is being raided
• you are combat tagged

Losing them

Every equipped relic drops at the core when your core is destroyed.

Not into a protected inventory, not into the vault — on the ground, at the core, where the clan that just broke it is standing.

This is the single mechanic that makes a lost core hurt. Your bank and vault both survive intact; your relics do not.

Clan standing on this realm is measured in points. Not hearts, not money, not kills on their own — points, earned from four different activities and totalled across the season.

Where points come from

Four buckets feed your clan’s total:

Source	What it rewards
Kills	PvP performance by your members
Spawners	Building and holding spawner grinders
Upgrades	Investing in your clan — core health, vault, shield
Events	Placing in KOTH, outposts, LMS and the rest

The spread is deliberate. A clan that only fights, only farms or only turtles will not out-score one that does all four, so there is no single dominant strategy to copy.

Checking your points

/clan points

Shows the breakdown for your own clan — how many points you have and which bucket they came from. Use it to work out what you are neglecting.

/clan top

Shows the clan leaderboard.

Spawners and points

Spawners are the clearest example of how points accumulate over time. A spawner accrues value across 5 days, that value scales with stack size, and it converts into clan points. Right-clicking a spawner shows you its current clan point worth directly.

That makes grinders a long-hold investment rather than something you throw up and cash out. See spawners for the full mechanics, including the mining tax.

The Weekly Point Race

Running alongside the season-long leaderboard is a weekly competition, and it is scored differently in a way that matters.

The Weekly Point Race is judged on point gain, not point total.

• Baselines reset each week
• What counts is how many points you added during that week
• Top clans win prizes

This means a small clan that has a strong week can win the race outright over an established clan that is coasting. Sitting on a large total earns you nothing here — only movement does.

It does not affect the season

The Weekly Point Race has no bearing on the overall map winner. Winning weeks is its own reward; the season is still decided by total points.

Rules that apply to standings

Manipulating the leaderboard is punished, and two of the rules are worth knowing before you organise anything with another clan:

• Boosting Leaderboard Positions — colluding with other clans to manipulate standings. Disqualification.
• Payout Eligibility — every member must have played legitimately throughout the map, with no active severe punishments at payout time. Management may disqualify at their discretion.

Raiding

Changes coming

Raiding is how one clan takes a season from another: get through their claims, reach their core, and mine it down to nothing.

The objective

When a clan can be raided

One rule here is fully confirmed, and it is the one that shapes every raid:

A clan cannot be raided during its shield window. During that daily window the core takes zero damage, claims are unbreakable, and raids are blocked outright. It runs whether or not anyone is online.

Shield windows are publicly visible. You can see when a target clan is protected, which means you can also see exactly when they are not.

Raiding is also disabled entirely during the grace period at the start of each season.

Getting through claims

Claims are the outer layer. Inside a claim, non-members are blocked from placing blocks.

Note the known issue on claims: block breaking by non-members inside claims is currently not being denied. That is a bug rather than a raid mechanic, and deliberately exploiting it is Core Griefing — a Tier 3 offence.

What is confirmed to exist

These commands are present on the server:

Their presence confirms the system is being built. It does not confirm that the items are obtainable or that raids can currently be run start to finish.

Rules

Cores are not broken with a pickaxe. Three purpose-built items exist for the job.

The three tools

The common thread is controlled damage. These are not general demolition tools — they are built to damage cores specifically, which keeps raiding to a defined mechanic rather than letting attackers flatten a map with vanilla explosives.

Placement restriction

Recipes

/raidrecipes

See also custom items and recipes for the wider custom crafting system.

Commands that exist

The server has raid-related commands registered, including recipe lookup and raid logging.

A raid claim is a disposable staging post. You place one near a clan you intend to attack, and it gives you a foothold close to the target without committing your real base.

How they are planned to work

/clan raidclaim

How this differs from a normal claim

	Normal claim	Raid claim
Purpose	Your permanent base	A forward base near a target
Chunks	Up to 25 planned	1
Duration	Until you unclaim it	Up to 3 days
Shield protection	Yes, during your window	No
Limit	—	One per clan

Why the restrictions matter

One per clan means you cannot blanket the map with staging posts. You pick one target at a time.

No shield protection means your forward base is exposed the entire time it exists, including while you are offline. The defenders can counter-attack it whenever they like.

Low health and a three-day cap mean it is a raid tool, not a second home. It expires whether or not the raid succeeds.

Money buys spawners, funds clan upgrades and replaces the gear you lose. This page covers where it comes from.

Much of the economy is still being balanced during beta, so parts of this page are marked as unconfirmed. What is confirmed is marked plainly.

Spawner grinders

The main earner. Spawners are physical blocks you build grinders around, they accrue value over five days, and that value scales with stack size.

This is the system with the most confirmed detail — read that page first if you are deciding where to put your effort.

Farming and selling crops

Selling to the shop

/shop

See the shop for what is documented about categories and prices.

Trading with players

The auction house lets players sell to each other directly.

Gambling

Coinflip and the lottery exist on the server. Note that coinflip currently has a known issue — check that page before relying on it.

What you start with

Money has no special name — it is just money, written with a $. Every new player starts with $1,000.

That is a working float rather than a war chest: enough for tools and a few early purchases, well short of a spawner.

Gold is a separate currency and works differently. See gold.

Keeping what you earn

Money on your person drops when you die. Money in the clan bank does not — and the bank survives your clan core being destroyed, has no cap, and accepts deposits from any member.

Spawners are the backbone of the economy on this realm, and they work differently here than on most servers.

They are physical, not virtual. There is no menu holding an abstract “spawner count” — you place a real spawner block in the world and build a real grinder around it, with real mob pathing and a real collection system. What you build is what produces.

Stacking

Spawners stack up to a maximum of 50 in one place.

A stacked spawner produces as a unit and is worth more than the same spawners spread out, which pushes clans toward concentrated grinder rooms rather than scattered singles.

Value accrues over five days

This is the mechanic that decides how you should play spawners.

A spawner accrues value over 5 days. It does not pay out instantly and it does not pay out at a flat rate — the longer it has been running, the more it is worth, up to that five-day horizon.

Three things follow from that:

• Value is claim-only. A spawner accrues for the clan whose claim it sits in.
• Value scales with stack size. A stack of 50 accrues faster than a stack of 5.
• Value converts into clan points. Spawners are one of the four point buckets that decide clan standing.

Checking a spawner

Right-click any spawner and it tells you:

• How many are in the stack
• What it costs to mine
• What it is currently worth in clan points
• What it is currently worth in clan wealth

No command needed — the information is on the block.

Mining tax

Breaking a spawner costs money. The tax is a flat fee per spawner type, paid when you mine it.

Spawner	Mining tax
Silverfish	$250,000
Iron Golem	$125,000
Blaze	$50,000
Skeleton	$25,000
Zombie	$25,000
Spider	$25,000
Cave Spider	$25,000
Cow	$20,000

The tax scales with how valuable the spawner type is to hold. Silverfish costs ten times what a cow does to pull out of the ground.

The five-minute grace window

There is a 5-minute free-break window after placing a spawner.

Place a spawner in the wrong spot, and you have five minutes to pick it back up at no cost. After that, the normal mining tax applies.

Buying spawners

Protecting your grinder

A spawner inside a claim accrues for your clan, so grinders belong inside claimed chunks. Bear in mind that block breaking by non-members inside claims is currently not being denied — see the known issue on the claims page before you assume a grinder room is sealed.

The shop is where you buy and sell to the server itself, at fixed prices, rather than trading with other players.

/shop

What is documented

Very little, honestly. The command is confirmed to exist. The contents are not.

What is planned

Selling to players instead

For player-to-player trading, use the auction house. Prices there are set by players and are often better than the shop for rare items — and worse for bulk.

Gold is a second currency, separate from the $ money the rest of the economy runs on. You buy it on the webstore and spend it in-game through the store menus.

The two do not mix. Money comes from playing — grinders, crops, selling to the shop. Gold comes from the store. Neither converts into the other.

How it works

1. Buy gold on the MangoMC store.
2. It lands on your account.
3. Spend it in-game, through the in-game store menus, on the items sold there.

It survives a season wipe

Gold is not reset when the map wipes.

That makes it the one thing on this realm that carries between seasons. Your base, your claims, your clan’s bank and vault, your hearts and your leaderboard position all belong to the current map — see seasons and wipes. Gold does not.

Buying safely

The auction house lets players list items for other players to buy, at prices sellers set themselves.

The rules do apply

This is the part that is fully documented, and it is worth reading before you list anything.

If you get scammed

Open a Discord ticket with proof. Victims may request a rollback.

Do not retaliate and do not fabricate evidence to strengthen your case — Forging Proof is itself a Tier 3 offence, and it will cost you the ticket as well as your own record.

See getting support for how to open a ticket, and the full rules for the complete ladder.

Advertising items for real money

Two systems let you gamble money rather than earn it.

Coinflip

/cf

A head-to-head wager between two players.

Lottery

A lottery system is present on the server.

A word on gambling money you need

KOTH — King of the Hill — is a scheduled fight over a single capture point. One clan holds the point; everyone else tries to take it off them. Hold it long enough and your clan wins the event.

Capture is clan-based, not individual. You are holding the point for your clan, and it is your clan that takes the reward.

The arena

KOTH runs at Pirate Cave, in its own world. The event uses a themed interface for tracking the capture.

How capture works

Rewards

Rules during events

Getting there alive

The KOTH arena is contested by definition — everybody who wants the reward is in the same place. Expect to die, and expect to lose hearts for it.

Read how lifesteal works before you commit gear to a contested event, and bank anything you cannot afford to drop.

An outpost is a location on the map that a clan can capture and hold. While you hold it, your entire clan gets a set of multipliers — and points tick in on an interval for as long as you keep it.

Unlike KOTH, which is a scheduled event with a winner, an outpost is a persistent thing you hold until somebody takes it from you.

What holding an outpost gives you

Confirmed benefits, granted to the whole clan:

• XP multiplier
• Spawner multiplier
• Sell multiplier
• Clan points, awarded on an interval

The spawner and sell multipliers stack with an economy already built around spawner grinders, which makes an outpost worth real money over a long hold rather than just a trophy.

Where the outposts are

Capturing

Rules during captures

Last Man Standing drops players into an arena and lets them fight until one is left. No clans, no teams — the last player alive wins.

The arena

LMS runs in the warzone world, in a region called lms-arena. It is a dedicated space separate from the survival world, so fights there do not touch anyone’s base or claims.

Still being tuned

LMS is live but actively under development. Several parts of it are being worked on right now:

• State messaging — the announcements that tell you what phase the event is in
• Anti-AFK — handling for players who enter and then stand still
• Event mobs — additional hazards in the arena

Hearts and LMS

Rules

Envoys are loot drops that appear on the map and are open to whoever gets to them first. They are running on the server now.

Until it is documented

Watch #announcements on Discord — envoy drops are the kind of event that gets called out there, and that is currently the reliable way to know one is happening.

The realm tracks several separate rankings. They measure different things, and the one that decides the season is not the one most players look at first.

The clan leaderboard

This is the one that matters. Clan standing is scored on clan points, totalled across the season.

/clan top

Points come from four sources: kills, spawners, upgrades and events. A clan that does all four outscores one that specialises.

The Weekly Point Race

A separate weekly competition scored on point gain rather than total, with baselines that reset each week. Top clans win prizes, and it has no bearing on the overall map winner.

Because it measures movement from a weekly reset, it is winnable by a small clan having a good week. See clan points and the Weekly Point Race.

Player leaderboards

Individual rankings tracked alongside the clan table:

• Top kills
• Top hearts

Clan rankings by other measures

Beyond the points table, clans are also ranked by:

Measure
Kills
Deaths
K/D ratio
Hearts
Members

These are informational. Only the points table decides clan standing — a clan can top the hearts ranking and still be mid-table on points.

Prizes

Rules

A crate or lootbox system is running on the server. The clearest evidence is relics: they are not craftable and cannot be bought, and lootboxes are one of the two confirmed sources for them.

Beyond that, the system is undocumented.

What is confirmed

Lootboxes produce relics. Relics are clan-wide equippable items that come in Common, Rare and Legendary tiers, and they cannot be crafted or bought — lootboxes and rare loot are the only sources.

That makes crates the practical route to relics, which makes them worth understanding once they are documented.

Related loot sources

• Envoys — supply drops that land on the map for anyone to reach first
• KOTH — a KOTH lootbag is among the planned rewards

The realm has a class system. You can open it right now:

/classes

Beyond the command existing, nothing about it is confirmed.

Why this page exists

The class system is live enough to have a working command, so players will look for it. A page saying “this exists, here is the command, the details are not documented” is more useful than a 404 — and more honest than a list of guesses.

If you have working knowledge of the classes from in-game, it is worth passing on in Discord so this page can be filled in.

Some things on this realm are not craftable with vanilla recipes. Two commands list what is.

The recipe commands

Both commands are confirmed to exist and work.

Items known to use custom recipes

Item	Recipe list	Status
Clan core	/recipes	Craftable, recipe not documented
Raid Cannon	/raidrecipes	Planned
Raid TNT	/raidrecipes	Planned
Raid Creeper Egg	/raidrecipes	Planned
Raid Claim Core	/raidrecipes	Planned

Items that are not craftable

Worth stating plainly, because players look for recipes that do not exist:

• Relics are not craftable. They come from lootboxes and rare loot only.

Related systems

• Custom enchantments — planned, and not obtainable on day one of beta
• Crates — the lootbox system relics come from

A custom enchantment system is planned for this season, with its own enchanter for applying them.

The enchanter

Why there is no enchantment list here

A draft list exists. It is not published on this wiki, deliberately, because it is not final in two specific ways:

• How many custom enchants an item can hold is undecided — whether the limit is 1 or 3 has not been settled, and that single number changes how every enchant on the list is valued.
• The Legendary tier is empty. The top tier has no enchantments assigned to it yet.

Publishing a draft under those conditions would tell players to build toward combinations that may never be possible.

Cost multipliers

What to do in the meantime

Vanilla enchanting works normally. Build gear on that basis, and watch #announcements on Discord for the enchanter going live.

Where you can build, how far the map goes, and how to travel it.

The survival world

The main world is where you build, claim and fight. Everything to do with clans — cores, claims, bases — happens here.

The world border is 15,000 × 15,000 blocks.

That is the hard edge of the playable map. Every base on the server sits inside that square, which puts a real ceiling on how far you can get from your neighbours.

Getting around

/rtp

Random-teleports you somewhere in the survival world. This is the standard way to get clear of spawn when you start, and to find unclaimed land.

There is a cooldown between uses, and it varies by rank.

The Nether

The Nether is open and reachable through portals as normal.

Two things about it differ from what you may expect:

There is no /rtp in the Nether. Random teleport works in the survival world only; in the Nether you travel on foot or by portal.

Event worlds

Some events run in their own worlds, separate from where you build. Nothing you do in them affects your base or your claims.

World	Used for
warzone	The LMS arena, in a region called lms-arena
koth_pirate	The Pirate Cave KOTH

Where you can claim

Claims are made in the survival world, one 16×16 chunk at a time, inside the 15,000 × 15,000 border.

Where the access column shows a dash, the permission requirement is not documented — it has been left blank rather than guessed at. Rank-gated permissions are not listed here at all: what a rank unlocks is store content, and the store is the authoritative list.

Clans

The clan system has around thirty subcommands. They have their own page: full /clan command reference.

Chat and cosmetics

Chat supports colour and formatting, carries a gradient server prefix, and posts an auto-announcement every five minutes.

Commands that are not documented here

Staff and admin commands are deliberately excluded. Clan administration and point-adjustment commands exist, and they are not player-facing — listing them would only invite attempts to use them.

Short answers. Each links to the page with the full picture.

Where the honest answer is “that is not confirmed yet”, it says so — this realm is in beta and a confident wrong answer is worse than an admission.

Joining

What is the server address?

play.mangomc.org on Java. bedrock.mangosmp.org on Bedrock — note that the two are on different domains. See joining the server.

What version does it run?

Paper 1.21.11.

Can Bedrock and Java players play together?

Both editions connect to the same realm, on the two addresses above.

Does this wiki cover the Vanilla realm?

No. This wiki is Lifesteal only. The Vanilla realm has entirely different systems, ranks and economy, and nothing carries between them.

Hearts

How many hearts do I gain per kill?

Not confirmed. This is the most basic number on the realm and it has not been verified — see how lifesteal works, where it is marked as an open gap rather than guessed at.

What happens if I run out of hearts?

A death ban system exists, and a /revive command exists. How long the ban lasts and how a revive is obtained are not confirmed. Play as though there is no safety net — see death bans and reviving.

Does buying a rank shorten my death ban?

Not confirmed, and it is the fairness question worth a clear public answer either way. See death bans and reviving.

Can I lose hearts during the grace period?

No. During the grace period, PvP is enabled but no heart loss occurs. You can still be killed and still lose your inventory.

Combat

Why can’t I teleport?

You are probably combat tagged. The tag lasts 180 seconds from the last hit taken or dealt, and it blocks teleports, relic swaps and escape commands. See combat tagging.

Is spawn safe?

No. Spawn is not fully damage-proofed — players can currently die there to campfires, drowning and the void. This is a known bug. Do not stand AFK at spawn. See your first hour.

Can I log out to escape a fight?

Logging out while combat tagged carries a penalty, and Combat Evasion is a Tier 3 offence starting at a 1-day ban. See the rules.

Clans

Do I need a clan?

Practically, yes. Claims, shared storage, the shield window and the leaderboard all run through clans. See creating a clan.

What decides the clan leaderboard?

Points, from four sources: kills, spawners, upgrades and events. It is not based on hearts — that was the old system. See clan points.

If my core is destroyed, do I lose everything?

No. Your clan bank and clan vault both survive intact. What you lose is every equipped relic — they drop at the core.

Are my claims safe from being mined into?

Not right now. Block breaking by non-members inside claims is currently not being denied. This is a known bug — see claiming chunks. Build depth, not just borders.

When can I be raided?

Not during your shield window, and not during the grace period. Note that shield windows are public — attackers can see when yours ends.

Economy

What is the fastest way to make money?

Spawners. They are physical blocks you build grinders around, they stack to 50, and their value accrues over five days.

Why did breaking my spawner cost me money?

Mining a spawner charges a tax based on its type, from $20,000 for a cow up to $250,000 for silverfish. There is a 5-minute free-break window after placing one. See spawners.

Is /cf broken?

It is currently showing as unregistered. See coinflip and the lottery.

Ranks and the store

What do the ranks give me?

Rank perks live on the store, not on this wiki. The store is the authoritative list — it is what you are actually buying from, and it cannot go out of date the way a copy here would.

Where is the store?

store.mangomc.org — the only official one. Be wary of third-party sites claiming to sell MangoMC ranks or keys.

Do ranks survive a season wipe?

Yes. A rank bought this season still applies next season. So does gold. Everything else belongs to the current map — see seasons and wipes.

The season

Does progress reset?

Yes. The Lifesteal realm wipes seasonally. The Vanilla realm does not. See seasons and wipes.

What season is it?

Season 2, currently in beta ahead of full launch.

Still stuck?

Open a Discord ticket — see getting support. In-game help requests forward to Discord too.

Everything that needs a human goes through Discord tickets.

Asking in-game

In-game help requests forward to Discord. If you ask for help in game, it reaches staff through the same route — you do not need to be in Discord to start the conversation, but the answer will come back through it.

What tickets are for

Situation	What to do
Appealing a punishment	Open a ticket. All appeals go through Discord.
Reporting a player	Open a ticket with proof.
Reporting a bug	Open a ticket. All bugs must be reported this way.
You were scammed	Open a ticket with proof — victims may request a rollback.
A rule needs clarifying	Open a ticket rather than arguing it in chat.

Reporting bugs specifically

The rules require it: all bugs must be reported via Discord ticket, and Bug Abusing is a Tier 4 offence starting at a 7-day ban.

The distinction is intent. Encountering a bug is not an offence. Using one deliberately for advantage is.

This wiki documents several known issues so you are not caught out by them — spawn not being fully damage-proofed, mining inside claims not being denied, coinflip showing as unregistered, and the Nether not spawning mobs. Those are documented so you can avoid losing gear to them, not so they can be exploited.
