Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the FAQ where we will try to answer the most common questions about Dragonstone.

 

What are the effects I got at the top of my screen when I first joined the server?

That is your Newbie Buff. It is a buff that slowly fades away with time and lasts approximately one hour. You start with +100% PVE damage resistance and +30% speed which slowly fades away over the course of an hour. The buff is shown with the duration and number of buff stacks remaining.

 

Can I mine mob spawners on this server?

Yes, but they very rarely drop. The exact drop chance is not known, however most players report around 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 spawners dropping, so the estimated drop rate is around 1-2%.

Silk Touch is not required for a mob spawner to drop.

 

What are World Potions?

World potions are server-wide buffs that are typically activated each time Dragonstone receives 10 votes on voting websites, or if they are purchased with real money with the /donate command.

 

How do I talk in #in-game on Discord?

Instructions for this are located at the bottom of #rules on discord to encourage everyone to read the rules first.

You must link your account by using the /link command while on the server. You will then be given a code which you send as a private message to the "Draco" bot. This will link your accounts and grant you permission to speak in #in-game as well as post images and embed links in most channels.

 

How do I show an item in chat?

Type [item] in chat while holding the item you wish to show. You can also use [inv] to show your inventory, and [ender] to show your ender chest in chat.

Note that players can click on books to read them, and click on shulker boxes to view their contents!

 

How do I check the coordinates of my tombstone when I die?

Use the /tombstone command to pull up the coordinates of your active tombstones at any time!

 

What happens if I don't get to my tombstone in time?

The tombstone will despawn and drop your items on the ground. Most of the time, your items will be dropped into an unloaded chunk. This will preserve your items indefinitely until the chunk is loaded again, which will start the standard 5 minute despawn timer for dropped items. Note that shulker boxes can last up to 1 week on the ground before despawning!
