Basics

Welcome to YidCraft! This guide covers everything you need to know when joining the server for the first time.

Your First Join

When you first join the server, you will spawn at the main spawn area.

From here, you can begin exploring the world, learn the server’s features, and start earning your first shekels.

Your first day with the Jewish systems

The Jewish features are the heart of the server, and you can start on all of them in your first few minutes.

1. Log in. You are given two sefarim and already know their halachos.
2. Run /skills to see what you know.
3. Run /kosher keep to join the Kosher Challenge.
4. Craft a Shechita Knife from an iron sword, wheat, and bone, stacked vertically.
5. Go to spawn, get into the mikveh water, and click to toivel the knife.
6. Kill a cow with the knife, cook the beef, and eat it for points.

Full details live in Kosher System, Skills and Sefarim, and Mezuzos.

Trading

Players can safely trade both items and shekels using the built-in trading system.

Starting a Trade

Find the player you’d like to trade with and run:

/trade <player>

Replace <player> with their Minecraft username.

How Trading Works

1. Send a trade request.
2. The other player accepts or declines.
3. If accepted, the trading menu opens.
4. Place your items into the trade window.
5. Add the amount of shekels you wish to offer.
6. Review the other player’s offer.
7. Both players click Accept.
8. After a short countdown, the trade is completed automatically.

Trade Carefully

Always double-check the items and shekel amounts before accepting. Once both players confirm and the countdown finishes, the trade cannot be reversed.

Trading Tips

• Verify every item before accepting.
• Confirm the amount of shekels being traded.
• Be cautious of unexpected trade requests.
• Ask other players if you’re unsure about an item’s value.
