Server Worlds Tour

How worlds work on Sunrise

Sunrise SMP runs multiple persistent worlds plus temporary resource worlds. All worlds share the same economy, claims, ranks, and inventory — only the terrain changes. Open the menu with /worlds to teleport between any of them.

/worlds        open the world menu

You can also use the per-world shortcut commands listed below.

Persistent worlds

World 1 — the original (1.19 generation)

• Command: /w1
• Border: 5,000 blocks
• Created: January 2023
• The original world from the server relaunch. Contains main spawn, the sewer system, and most of the longest-standing player bases. Use /spawn to land here.

World 2 (1.20 generation)

• Command: /w2
• Border: 10,000 blocks
• Created: July 2023
• Cherry blossoms and 1.20 biomes. Has its own spawn area separate from World 1.

World 3 (1.21 generation)

• Command: /w3
• Border: 10,000 blocks
• Created: July 2024
• Trial chambers, tuff bricks, and the rest of 1.21's terrain features.

World 4 — the newest (1.21.10 generation)

• Command: /w4
• Border: 10,000 blocks
• Created: December 2025
• Pale oak wood and the latest world generation. Home to the player-built town of Lemuria.

Custom World 1

• Command: /c1
• Border: 5,000 blocks
• Created: June 2023
• Custom-generated landscape. Built for unique terrain and exploration rather than vanilla biomes.

Custom World 2

• Command: /c2
• Border: 5,000 blocks
• Created: June 2023
• Custom-generated world. A popular key hunt location during events.

The Event World

• Command: /event
• Created: November 2025
• Dedicated to events and activities. Has above-ground areas, sewer tunnels, and an "Upside Down" zone. PvP can be enabled here for tournaments.

Resource worlds (temporary — don't build here)

These reset periodically so players always have fresh terrain to mine and gather from:

• Resource World (overworld)
• Custom Resource World (custom-generated overworld terrain)
• Resource Nether
• Resource End

Anything you build in a resource world will be wiped on the next reset. Use /wild to teleport to a random spot in the resource overworld for quick gathering trips.

When to use which

• New players: start in World 1 (/spawn) for the community hubs.
• Building from scratch: World 4 (/w4) — newest terrain, least claimed.
• Resource gathering: /wild into the Resource World, never the persistent ones.
• Specialty terrain: /c1 and /c2 for unusual landscapes.
• Events: /event when one is running.
