We’re a circus-themed Minecraft server featuring:
Our community is small, close-knit, and always excited to welcome new players. Wondering where our name comes from? It’s inspired by the TikTok sound: “Not my circus, not my monkeys. Oh… my circus, my monkeys!”
We keep our rules simple, focusing on:

Here are some essential commands to get you started:
/kit claim

At CircusCraft, we understand not everyone can spend money on games. Growing up with only the basics, I’ve experienced what it’s like to see ranked players gain unfair advantages simply because they spent more money.
That’s why CircusCraft ranks focus on convenience and cosmetics—offering perks like workbench commands and colorful chat options without affecting gameplay fairness. Whether or not you choose to spend money, everyone can enjoy the same core gameplay experience since those who do choose to buy ranks only obtain cosmetic/convenience features. You can check out all our rank perks to see what they receive in comparison to monkey rank here.
Spawn is the heart of CircusCraft and offers many exciting features:
All our crates can be earned for free!
Vote Crate

Seasonal Crate
Located across from spawn, these limited-time crates always have a free way to earn keys, typically through mining or mob kills. Collect 50 event items and trade them for a key.

Our economy runs on diamonds! Visit /market
to explore player-run shops or check what’s for sale with /shop
. Our circus-themed market also features interactive rides to enhance your experience.
For details on creating trade signs, buying a shop, or market rules, refer to other wiki pages.
This section outlines the various in-game ranks and the abilities each rank provides. Refer to the image below for a detailed overview of all ranks and their features.
Anyone violating these rules is subject to shop removal or any other necessary punishment as determined by a manager, or the owner.

CircusCraft features a player-run, diamond-based economy, meaning that prices for items are set by players rather than an admin shop system. Because of this, prices can fluctuate based on supply and demand, making trading and bartering a dynamic part of the server experience. Staff members do not control or influence the economy, ensuring a truly player-driven marketplace.
How Pricing Works
The primary currency on CircusCraft is diamonds and diamond blocks. Players buy and sell goods using these. Since there is no fixed pricing, each player determines the value of their own items, and they can choose to set their prices above or below what others are charging. This flexibility allows the market to evolve naturally, depending on the availability of resources and the community's needs.
The economy is entirely community-driven, meaning price trends can change over time based on player activity. Most trades occur in player-run stores, conveniently located in /market. This trading area provides a structured environment where players can browse, compare prices, and make informed purchasing decisions.
Checking Market Prices
Since prices are determined by the community, staying informed is key to making the best trades. To help with this, some players maintain a player-run spreadsheet that offers advice on market prices and provides an overview of current rates for some items, particularly those from the seasonal crates. This resource is regularly updated by the community and serves as a valuable reference for both new and experienced players. Alternatively, you can browse the market by walking through /market or using the /shop GUI to get a guide on how much things are going for.

Tips for Buying and Selling
When engaging in trades, it is always wise to compare prices before making a purchase. Checking multiple shops allows players to find the best deals and avoid overpaying for items. Since the economy is fluid, it is beneficial to stay updated on price trends and adjust your own prices accordingly.
For those looking to actively participate in the economy, setting up a shop is a great way to contribute. If you have surplus resources, consider opening a TradeShop in /market and offering your goods at competitive prices. Not only does this help the server’s economy thrive, but it also provides an opportunity to establish yourself as a well-known trader within the community
What are plots?
Our plot world is a survival experience with a twist! It allows you to use items from your inventory, gathered in the overworld or resource worlds, to create and build on your very own flat piece of land. Plots are completely free (one per person) and provide a friendly way to live communally while ensuring that no one else can break your stuff. Best of all, there’s no need to terraform since the land is already flat and ready for building!
How to get a plot:
Plot commands:
The Minigames Area is a fun and competitive space on the server, featuring a variety of two-player games. Test your skills, challenge your friends, and win rewards!

Each round you win earns you a virtual key, which can be redeemed at the Games Crate located at spawn for exciting rewards.
We’re expanding the Minigames Area to include solo challenges, such as:
The mailbox system allows players to send items to each other through an easy-to-use mailing interface. This system enables players to transfer items even when the recipient is offline securely.
How to Use
Sending Items:
Use the command /mailitem <player> [label]
to open the mail-sending interface - if you don't add your label it will automatically choose a free number to assign it.
Place the items you want to send inside the window.
Close the interface and the items will be sent
The recipient will be notified that they have received the item/s in their mailbox.
Receiving Items:
Use /itemmail list
to check if you have new mail
Use /itemmail open <mailbox id>
or /itemmail
to open your mailbox (not adding the ID will open the mail that was sent first that hasn't been claimed)
Click the accept button on the GUI and then take the items from the mailbox to complete the transfer.
Physical Mailboxes
Players can place physical mailboxes to allow others to drop off items. Mailboxes can be accessed with the /itemmail
commands. The crafting recipe for this is attached below. The mailbox needs to be placed on a fencepost to be able to be used.
Player Wellness
At CircusCraft, we value the well-being of our players both in and out of the game. Gaming should be a fun and engaging experience, but we recognise that long play sessions, social interactions, and personal struggles can impact mental health. This page offers guidance on maintaining a healthy balance while playing and how to handle difficult feelings in a supportive and respectful way.
Set Time Limits: Prolonged gaming can cause fatigue and stress. Take breaks every hour to stretch, hydrate, and rest your eyes.
Stay Active: Balance gaming with physical activity. Even short walks or stretches can help improve focus and mood.
Sleep Well: Lack of sleep can impact reaction time and emotional well-being. Prioritize rest and avoid gaming late into the night.
Healthy Habits: Eat nutritious meals, drink water, and avoid excessive caffeine or energy drinks.
You Are Not Alone: If you're experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or thoughts of self-harm, know that there are people who care and want to help.
Reach Out for Help: If you're struggling, consider speaking with a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional.
Emergency Support: If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please contact a crisis hotline or emergency services in your area. Resources include:
Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741 in the USA/Canada)
Small Steps (Available in multiple countries)
Groov App (Global mental health support)
Virtual Hope Box App (Available worldwide)

We understand that players sometimes express distress in global chat, but public discussion of sensitive topics can impact the community. To ensure a supportive and comfortable environment for all players, we ask:
Use Private Channels: If you need to talk, consider messaging a trusted friend privately instead of discussing personal struggles in global chat.
Be Mindful of Language: Avoid sharing messages that may alarm or distress others, even indirectly.
Encourage Positivity: If you see someone struggling, offer kindness and encourage them to seek help outside the game.
Report Concerns: If a player appears to be in distress, notify a staff member discreetly so they can offer appropriate guidance.
Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming space for everyone. While games can be an escape, real-life support is essential for long-term well-being. Stay safe, take care, and reach out when needed. ❤️
