Archive/Homes Guides

Revision as of 09:45, 21 November 2020

Maintenence: The homes plugin has undergone drastic change, therefore this guide is currently under construction.

Homes are a feature of the Dogcraft Server that are supplied via plugin. They assist greatly with movement around the vast world by teleporting a player to a specified set of co-ordinates. This guide will aim to guide you through setting, using, and deleting your homes as well as public homes.

The homes plugin is a custom one that revolves around the use of the homes gui to select options. This resembles an inventory screen.

Creating (Setting) Homes

The homes gui after entering /sethome

To create a home, use the /sethome command in chat. This will bring up the homes gui for setting homes. Make sure you are standing in an area you would like to return to, and that it is relatively safe. The homes gui for /sethome will have three customization options, each represented by an icon depicting a Minecraft item.

Anvil - set the name for your home (compulsory): left clicking will bring up an anvil naming screen. Remove the default text and type in the name of your home. To confirm, left click the resulting piece of paper on the right.
Item in your main hand/Wooden door - set the icon for your home: this shows the Minecraft item that will be used as the icon for your home. It corresponds to the item you are presently holding in your main hand, or, defaults to a wooden door when the hand is empty.
Iron door - toggles between this home being public and private: Homes are private by default; left clicking here will toggle it to public.

Once you have made your choices using these, left click the green wool icon to confirm and create your home. You will be charged a small amount of Dogcraft Dollars for the process - 50 for a private home and 250 for a public one.

Using Homes

Chat Method

Using chat to access your home

To use your home(s), open chat and type /home <name>, where <name> is the name you gave a home in the Creating Homes section. After pressing enter, wait five seconds and you will be teleported to the co-ordinates of that home.
Public homes can be accessed using the command /phome <name>.

Homes Gui Method

Using the homes gui to access your home and it's details

Alternatively, you can access your homes via the homes gui. Use the command /homes to open it and view your homes visually, with their icons. Hovering over a home will display it's co-ordinates and name. If you have many homes, sign icons on the bottom row will can be used to move between 'pages' of homes.
This method is especially useful for using public homes. For this, after accessing the homes gui, left click the iron door at the top centre. This will toggle the display to showing public homes. They can be selected in the same fashion as with private homes. The additional information on name, co-ordinates and home owner also present, giving you more information before teleporting to an unknown place.
