Guide

Everything you should know to play: money, towns, dungeons, and more.

This guide may change with server updates. The in-game display and commands are always the authoritative source for numbers. All times on this page are Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9).

Moving around

CommandWhat it does
/mvtp worldReturn to the main world
/mvtp resourceGo to the resource world, for mining. It resets at the start of every month
/mvtp dungeonGo to the dungeon. You can only enter from 16:00 to 08:00 the next day
/backReturn to your previous location

Money (Shivor)

The currency is the Shivor. Besides your balance, you can exchange it for physical "Shivor banknotes".

CommandWhat it does
/balanceCheck your balance
/pay <name> <amount>Send money. The recipient receives the full amount you enter, and the sender pays a 5% fee on top
/shivornote mint <amount>Exchange balance for banknotes. Multiples of 100, no fee
/shivornote redeemTurn the banknotes you hold back into balance. 5% fee
/shivornote breakExchange a banknote you hold for the next smaller denomination. No fee

Taxes and running a town

Taxes are collected all at once every day at 12:00 (noon).

TypeAmountPaid by → received by
Town upkeepNumber of plots × town levelTown bank
Resident tax100 / day (flat)Resident → town. The mayor is exempt
Plot tax3 / dayPeople who own a personal plot → town
Nation tax200 / day / townTown bank → nation bank

Mayors and nation leaders can change tax rates with /town set taxes, /town set plottax, and /nation set taxes. On days when a town or nation bank cannot cover the upkeep, the mayor's or leader's personal balance covers the shortfall, so a town will not disappear as long as it is run normally.

Shiba Lottery (daily draw)

All the money players spend on tickets is split among the winners. No new money is created.

ItemDetails
Ticket100 Shivor each
DrawEvery day at 21:00

Use /lottery buy [count] to buy tickets, /lottery info to see the total pool and number of participants, and /lotteryautobuy set <amount> to set up an automatic purchase every day at 20:59. If there is only one participant, the pool carries over to the next day.

Shiba Stock Exchange (stock market)

The market is open only from 8:00 to 16:00 every day. You can place orders outside those hours too; they are executed at the next opening price. View the stock price chart

  • Buying is free. When you sell, a fee of 20% of the profit is charged. If you sell at a loss, there is no fee.
  • Dividends are paid once a week, on Friday at 16:00. The "weekly dividend rate" is the percentage of the share price you receive in that single payment (it is not an annual rate).
  • One dividend is the share price at that time × the number of shares held for 7 days or more × the weekly dividend rate. Major shareholders receive a bonus depending on their ownership share.
  • When you receive a dividend, the same 20% fee as on sales profit is deducted.
  • The staff may change the number of shares outstanding through new share issuance, stock splits, and reverse splits.
CommandWhat it does
/stock listCurrent price, change, shares in circulation, and major shareholders for all stocks

Towns and nations

Founding a town costs 250 Shivor, and a nation costs 1000 Shivor. A mayor can found a nation even from a town with just one resident.

CommandWhat it does
/town new <town name>Found a town (you become the mayor)
/town listList of towns
/town invite accept <town name>Accept an invitation and join a town
/town spawnTeleport to the town spawn
/towny mapSee the surrounding plots on a map
/plot claimClaim the town plot you are standing on
/plot trust <name>Allow a specific person to build on that plot
/nation new <nation name>Found a nation (mayors only)
Town and nation names written in Japanese can cause account-name conflicts in the economy plugin. We recommend Latin letters (romaji or English).

Dungeons

The dungeon is a separate world that you can only enter from 16:00 to 08:00 the next day. At 08:00, anyone still inside is sent back to the main world. To enter, use /mvtp dungeon from the main world.

  • The ruins are not in a fixed place. A new one is generated every time you explore.
  • Each ruin has a unique boss that drops dedicated armor and weapons. The boss itself cannot be killed by lava, fire, or suffocation.
  • Boss attacks are powerful. Wear at least one piece of dungeon armor before you go in. The higher the armor rank, the lower the cap on damage you take from one hit.
  • If you run far away, the boss will pull you back.

/shopThe admin shop. Buy and sell supported items
/sellgui, /sellallSell items, or sell everything at once

Crops

Besides vanilla farming, there are crops you grow on special blocks. Which crops you can plant depends on the season (spring, summer, autumn, winter, in a 28-day cycle).

SeasonCrops
SpringCabbage, lettuce
Spring / AutumnBanana, corn, moolis
Spring / SummerLemon, orange, pineapple
Spring / WinterStrawberry
SummerTomato
Summer / AutumnGrape
Autumn / WinterPomegranate

Crops wither from lack of water, from being out of season (without greenhouse glass), or from crow damage (without a scarecrow). Harvest quality is rated from 1 to 3 stars, and more stars means higher value. You can see the current season with /customcrops season get <world name>.

Chat translation

Messages in the world chat (the global channel) are automatically translated between Japanese and English. It is machine translation, so it gives you the gist. Translated lines are marked "(auto)". Town, nation, and private chat are not translated.

CommandWhat it does
/chatlang enRead in English. Japanese messages are shown translated into English
/chatlang jaRead in Japanese (the default). English messages are shown translated into Japanese
/chatlang offDo not show translations

Translation runs only on the server's own computer, and nothing is sent to an outside service.
