Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

About Economy

Q. Why doesn’t gold drop from gold traps? A. StarMC adopts a “Gold Standard.” If gold became infinitely obtainable through automatic devices, currency value would collapse (inflation), and players who diligently mine would lose out. This is a specification to protect an economy where effort is rewarded.

Q. I’ve been scammed. Can I get a refund? A. Other than losses due to system malfunctions, management will not provide refunds or intervention. Please trade at your own responsibility, carefully evaluating your counterpart. That too is one way to enjoy this world.

About War & PvP

Q. I’m on Bedrock (mobile), can I beat Java players? A. This server is based on Java Edition PvP behavior (with attack cooldown). Bedrock players may need to get used to the controls, but on Simple PvP planets where equipment differences are minimal, you can perform well depending on your tactics.

Q. Can my town be raided? A. Towns on Earth will not be directly destroyed or have their chests looted. StarMC’s warfare is only the “fully scheduled, free participation” Conquest.

Technical & Other

Q. Will beta test data carry over to official release? A. No. At official release, fundamental system changes and load distribution processing are planned, so maps and money will be reset (wiped) once. However, beta participants will receive benefits such as “Permanent Limited Roles.”

Q. What should I do when the server is laggy? A. If you experience unnatural lag, please report it to the #bug-report channel on Discord.
