## Why can I not join the SMP?

You need a [Discord link](/guides/account#discord) and Discord membership. Also accept the resource pack and confirm the rules.

## Are there homes or teleports?

No. You travel on foot, by horse, boat or minecart.

## How do I protect my builds?

With a [camp](/game-modes/smp/camps) or in a [city](/game-modes/smp/cities). The wilderness has no protection.

## Where may I fight?

In the wilderness. In camps and cities only if the owners turned PvP on. Never at spawn.

## I died. Where are my items?

In your gravestone. `/graves` shows where it is. More under [PvP and death](/game-modes/smp/death).

## Why did my items disappear?

Some items despawn faster in the SMP than in vanilla. More under [Changed mechanics](/game-modes/smp/mechanics#item-despawn).

## How do I get silver?

Play actively, complete quests, reach milestones and trade. More under [Silver and quests](/game-modes/smp/quests).

## Why do villagers not trade?

So that good finds keep their value. Where you get everything instead is under [Villagers](/game-modes/smp/villagers).

## How do I trade with a player?

Stand at most 8 blocks from them and type `/trade <player>`. More under [Trading](/game-modes/smp/trading).

## Why does my spawner produce nothing?

Spawners only work while an active player is nearby. More under [Spawners](/game-modes/smp/spawners).

## How do I get skill points?

From SMP level 2 you get one per level. More under [Skills](/game-modes/smp/skills).

## My farm runs slower than in vanilla.

Some values differ, for example for mobs, hoppers and the activation range. More under [Changed mechanics](/game-modes/smp/mechanics).

## May I use Litematica?

No, not in the SMP.
