These are tips for new players of RetroMC and Beta 1.7.3 in general.
Note: The default keybinds are shown in parentheses.
General tips
Boat acceleration indicator
Water particles will appear from the back of boats when travelling at full speed, and thus, will break when it collides with land.
If you slow down by holding the key to go back (S), the water particles will stop and it won't break when touching land.
Dismount minecarts and boats
Interact (Right-click) with the minecart/boat you're mounted on and you'll dismount it.
Wheat crop trampling prevention
Sneak (Shift) on farmland with wheat crops and they won't be trampled.
If you have permission to modify the wheat farm(s), you can add fences under the farmland to stop the crops from being trampled.
An additional use for swords
For some reason, blocks break faster with swords; for example: fences and stairs.
Difference in crafting recipes
- Fences are crafted with 6 sticks, horizontally.
- Books are crafted with 3 paper, vertically.
- Stone buttons are crafted with 2 stone blocks, vertically.
- Mushroom stew is crafted with red and brown mushrooms and a bowl, vertically.
- Some crafting recipes (e.g. Slabs, Fences, Doors) will result in less items crafted compared to modern versions of Minecraft.
Open the debug menu (F3) and you can see the IDs of entities, represented as a nametag above their heads; handy for finding spawners.
RetroMC tips
Item information command
/iteminfo shows info about an item that's currently held.
Useful for when you want to create your own shop.
Stacking the unstackable items
This tip uses the ChestShop plugin to stack items.
Place a sign above a chest you own and change the contents below according to your needs:

STONE_PICKAXE
- 1st line: username; you can leave it blank.
- 2nd line: quantity
- 3rd line: price
- 4th line: item name
Stacked items are a bit fragile when moving them in inventories, so remember to quick-move (Shift + Left click) them.
Tools effectively get "unbreaking" when you stack them (The stack number of a tool goes down when one of them fully breaks).
Eating stacked mushroom soup will give you only one bowl, so unstack the soup before eating.
LWC (sharing containers)
Furnaces, chests and doors automatically lock upon placement.
/lwc- Main command - shows usage commands./cprivate- Lock a container for purely personal./cpublic- Lock a container, but keep it open for public use./cremove- Unlock a container, only the owner of a specified lock or staff can do this./cmodify <username>- Permit a specified username to access a specified container.
You can use LWC to protect a build by encasing it in locked containers.
- Notice: By unlocking or modifying your container you agree to be responsible for it, staff will not nor cannot revert stolen items.
Actually useful sponges
Thanks to a plugin, sponges can be used to drain water.
As a bonus, you don't need to dry the sponge after use.
Extra money from killing Creepers
If you kill a creeper using a wooden sword, you obtain ~$5 instead of ~$1.
Holiday shops
On holidays like Christmas and Halloween, a special shop opens on the spawn island.
Rare items can be bought such as lava and water blocks.
Purchasing and setting custom warps
You can purchase and set publically accessible Custom Warps for $20,000 via a ticket.
⚠️ Warning: Custom warps are not refundable.
