Staying safe

Meridian is a war server, but new players, builders and traders are protected where it matters.

While you're new

• New player protectionFor your first hour of play, mobs can't hurt you. The timer only counts while you're online.
• Starter kitStone tools, leather armour, bread, torches and a bed on your first join.
• CampsNo town yet? Crouch and place a campfire in the wilderness and the chunk is yours for a week. See Towns & camps.

Keeping your items

• Spawn protectionAfter /t spawn, /n spawn or respawning, you keep your items if you die before travelling 8 chunks. /protection hide hides the countdown.
• Border protectionDie in the wilderness within 4 chunks of a town (outside siege zones) and you keep your items.
• Battle sessionsWhile a siege battle session is running, everyone keeps their inventory on death.
• Town vaults/tv is storage shared by your whole town, safe inside your claims. See Gold & money.
