Cube RP

A city, jobs, an economy

You are handed your ID papers and it starts there: a job, a wage, a plot to build on. A city built by hand, an estate where everyone gets their own parcel, worksites where the money is earned — and a metro to get from one to the other.

The idea

Forget what you know about Minecraft

How you get things has been rethought from the ground up. Here, gathering doesn't make you rich: selling is what pays, and buying is what equips you.

You mine to sell

Ore goes to the jeweller, wood to the sawmill, concrete to the merchant.

Whatever you own, someone paid for it

The crafting table no longer makes your blocks, your tools or your meals: you buy them at a counter.

Three jobs still produce

The work sites are a good way to build without buying your walls: keep the wood, concrete and ore you gather on the job, and use them at home.

An adventure to live

Five maps, one life

You sleep at home, earn a living at work, and meet up in town. Cube RP doesn't fit on a single map — and that's what makes a day there feel like a day.

The heart

The city

Shops, restaurants, town hall, police station, hospital, bank. Everything that's bought and everything that's decided happens here.

Home

The estate

44 × 44 block plots, one per resident, served by streets. Yours is yours, from a shed to a villa — with ten blocks of earth underneath, enough to dig a cellar.

Work

The mine

One deposit of every ore, and it grows back. Go down, dig it out, come back up and sell it to the jeweller.

Work

The forest

The lumberjack's domain: trees that come back, wood that goes off to the sawmill.

Work

The work site

The mason's, who makes the concrete the city needs to keep building itself.

The metro links the maps together, and it's the only way through: from home to the city, from work to the city, from work to home. The ticket machine issues the ticket, the platform does the travelling — instantly for now; the trains will come.

Work

Try the jobs, keep your favourite

Eleven jobs, and nothing locks you into the first one you picked. Sign up at the town hall, try it, switch — until you find the one you want to do every evening.

  • Six kitchens: burger, kebab, fried chicken, crispy rice, coffee, pizzeria
  • Mining, forestry and masonry for those who prefer the great outdoors
  • Police: the only job paid by time on duty
The city's prison and container port, at night.
The law

A police force, a prison, and good reasons to avoid both

The police enforce the law, protect residents and arrest dealers.

  • If you're stopped: search, raid, handcuffs, prison
  • A lawyer at the town hall who can reduce your sentence

Home

A plot, and what you make of it

The city centre is public and protected from destruction: that's where the shops, restaurants and services are. Your plot, on the other hand, is yours from the day you arrive — build whatever you like, and nobody touches it without your permission. Except the police, with good cause.

  • Your walls: bought at the counter, or brought back from the work site
  • There's a crowbar: it forces chests and doors open, and people hear it
  • You decide who's allowed into your home
The city centre early in the morning, café terraces and façades.
Together

Your server, your story

Proximity voice chat, a phone, a radio for the police. The stories told on your server won't look like any other — because your residents are the ones writing them.

  • A ringing phone can be heard from the street
  • The police radio only carries if the officer is on duty and holding it
  • Three metro stations, and a ticket to get onto the platform
Eating

You don't eat what you gather. You go to a restaurant.

Food can only be bought in town: no bread found lying around, no meat grilled over a campfire. To eat, you have to go through one of the restaurants — and behind the counter, it's a player doing the cooking.

Burger

Burgers, fries, nuggets

Inside Fried Chicken, its kitchen and its till.

Fried Chicken

Fried chicken, tenders, wings

Inside the late-night kebab shop, spit and drinks fridge.

Kebab

Loaded kebabs, spit of the day

Inside Crafty Crousty, its cook and its till.

Crafty Crousty

Rice dishes, crispy chicken

Inside the pizzeria and its oven.

Pizza

Hand-kneaded dough, wood-fired oven

The café counter, its barista and its machine.

Café

Coffees, pastries

Six restaurants, six jobs, six queues at rush hour.

Up close

A city that works, not a backdrop

A uniformed police officer on one of the city's shopping streets.

Police you run into on the street

On duty, the uniform is mandatory. Off duty, the officer puts everything away — uniform and gear — becomes a resident again, and has no more rights than you.

The city's cash machine, up close.

A bank, an account, interest

Deposit your money rather than carrying it around: savings earn interest. But be careful — an account balance can be made public.

The city forge and its workbench.

Tools you have to buy

The miner's pickaxe, the lumberjack's axe, the burglar's crowbar: each has its own counter in town, and each has its price. The crafting table won't help you.

The mine gallery with its ore veins and lamps.

An outfit for every job

The outdoor jobs — mason, lumberjack, miner — have their own work clothes too. On the street, you can tell who you're dealing with before you say a word.

The metro navigation terminal, on the platform.

A metro to get to the city or your plot

In town, three stations: the seafront, the main street, and the one serving the hospital and the airport. To get out, you need a ticket at the turnstile — and the police can close platforms.

Try before you rent

The beta server runs around the clock with the Cube RP mode on it. It is the same software you would be renting — come and see what it feels like before paying for anything.

How to play

Pick your city, the pack comes with it

Every city has its own rules, economy and content. Its page gives its address and the mods that go with it — exactly the ones it runs.

Before you start

  1. 1

    A Minecraft Java Edition account

    The official version, bought on minecraft.net — not Bedrock Edition. It is the only purchase you need.

    minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-deluxe-collection-pc
  2. 2

    Prism Launcher

    It replaces the official launcher and installs the pack in a single import. It also downloads Java by itself: the first time you open it, leave "Autodetect Java version" and "Auto-download Mojang Java" ticked.

    prismlauncher.org

Java 21 — Only for a manual install, without a launcher. Take version 21: older ones will not start the pack. adoptium.net

The city directory

Who is online, who plays there, and what you will find. The pack is downloaded from each city's page.

Cities without the herb trade

Same city, same jobs, same police. Each page shows in icons what the city contains, and their pack is open to everyone.
