The current Spawn is located in the middle of a sprawling Badlands biome with real estate and player shops available for rent and purchase. Map resets are based on the balance of currently occupied vs. available land. If it starts getting crowded, we expand. If it fills up quicker, we start a new map.
To keep the experience balanced with our gameplay philosophy, most well-formed Villages have been protected and act as conveniently located hubs to sell goods, rent shops, and access the server's banking system

Enjoy a short video showcase of some of the beautiful locations and gameplay features on the server. The video was recorded using the latest version of Optifine and BSL shaders in both night and daytime environments. The video also showcases some of the beautiful new biomes of the Nether Update!
Our goal is to keep the map clean and somewhat orderly. To make the experience more immersive, we encourage players to set up communities and build natural looking structures and foliage for realism. Large statues that detract from the overall appearance or just seem out of place i.e. cars, pokemon, or floating platforms are highly discouraged.
To assist with maintaining our natural resources in the over-world to the best extent possible, we have a resource world, resource nether, and resource end which automatically reset every seven days. We also offer admin shops in the Stimulus Trade Center (STC for short), located near the spawn plaza at coordinates 87, -25. The STC is open the first week of every month to buy bulk material like stone, dirt, sand etc. There are also a selection of shops that rotate for other special items. As of now, there is an End Shop, an Oceanic Material Shop, and a Redstone Shop. These three shops rotate on a monthly basis, but the bulk material store is always there for all your building needs!
The following commands allow access to each resource world:
/resource tp/resource tp nether/resource tp endCurrently there are eight server permission groups with five achievable ranks. The system is simple and gameplay is much more inline with survival Minecraft in the beginning. You start without the ability to warp and are only given one home location. /home and /spawn are the only free warp commands in the game. As players progress, more home locations can be earned. Only Citizens and above have access to public warps (at a cost). Nobles are the only rank that can create their own warps.
Basic essentials commands and one home location.
In addition to all basic permissions, Drifters gain the ability to use the /condense command to turn all applicable items into blocks. Drifters are allowed two home locations.

Players start out with 400 Claim blocks and gain 50 additional blocks per hour of gameplay. All players max out at 6000 claim blocks earned from gameplay, regardless of rank. Players can buy additional claim blocks. To claim your first area, place a chest down. The first chest you place will automatically create a 10 block x 10 block claim around it. The corners of your claim will be represented as gold blocks with glowstone showing the corner directions. Players can click their claim with a stick at anytime to see the outline of their claim.
To resize your claim you will need to use a golden shovel. Using your golden shovel, click a corner and then click somewhere else to expand or reshape your claim. It's that easy! The original chest does not have to remain where you placed it to keep the claim. If, for some reason, a player decides to move, claims can be abandoned by using /abandonclaim and all claim blocks will be added back to the player's total balance. If you want to create a non-adjacent claim, just shift click with your golden shovel to create another area. Here's a few of the top commands to know:
| Command | Description |

/abandonclaim |
Deletes the claim you're standing in. |
/buyclaimblocks [number] |
Will buy additional claim blocks at $0.75 emerald coins per block. |

Claims can be only be established in the main Over-world and main Nether! Claims expire after 20 days of player inactivity. Also, if you are having trouble using basic Redstone items i.e. hoppers, pistons, etc - make sure you are building in claimed space. Global perms prevent certain actions.

Players can see their current rank, by typing /ranks in the chat. The requirements to rank up to the next rank can be seen by using /rankup.
Certain areas in the world are available to rent, contract, or purchase. These areas are designated by Moderators and above. Players can setup shops or homes in these areas at a cost. There is a slight difference in how each designated region works.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Rent | These areas are rentals which must be re-rented before their expiration. A timers will begin to update on the sign to let the rentor know how long they have left on that property. |
| Contracts | Contracted area work much like rentals but will autorenew as long as the player has the funds in their account. |
| Buy | Bought real-estate is acquired at a flat cost and remains in the possession of the purchaser ad-infinitum. On Pixelfish, claims will be put back up for purchase if the owner has not logged in for over 90 days (No refunds!!). |
The Economy in Pixelfish revolves around the Emerald, Minecraft's default currency. Emeralds can be earned by finding them in the wild or setting up your own Villager trading spot. A player's balance is determined solely on their ingenuity, patience, and creativity. Other items in the game can be converted to and from Emeralds at any of the in-game Banks and Exchange dealers.
In addition to Exchange dealers at community banks, players can invoke the /sell command to sell any precious metal for in-game currency. This is a quick way to transform the precious goods you find to and from Emeralds. However, keep in mind that these values will fluctuate though and can be affected by the community's market trends.
For all those explorers out there, we've hidden valuable loot throughout the map in random places. Among the already valuable loot are 1-5 Midas coins which are are worth 64 EB each! Midas Coins can only be redeemed in the main Spawn Exchange. More information can be found in the Top Notch Bookstore. Are you up to the challenge?
There are numerous communities across the Server. These communities act as hubs for players to access the server bank as well as trade with admin and player shops. Plots can be contracted in these locations to set up a shop or just build a house with easy access to the market. In order to allow these hubs to flourish and grow, dedicated players can be given region access to build and expand them in creative new ways. Players can access these communities using the provided warps at Spawn. All warp requests cost 10 emeralds.
Pixelfish is all about promoting large-scale communities. We like to think of ourselves as a friendly SMP server for everybody. There are very few limitations aside from the built in GriefPrevention, LWC protections, and Emerald economy. However, with the Shopkeepers plugin, it's easy to start your own Empire and currency on the server, or join up with your friends to make a sprawling oasis. We're looking forward to seeing all the awesome stuff you build!
