VortexHomes (Private Cells)
VortexHomes is your personal space on the server, a pre-built private room in its own dedicated world. This is the "Private Cell" you'll see referenced elsewhere on the wiki (like in sign shop alerts).
Last updated August 2026.
Overview
Cells are physical rooms in a dedicated world, not a teleport-to-anywhere home system. You don't pick a location, you claim a room and it's yours.
/cell- opens your Cell menu./cell <player>- visit another player's cell.
Every player gets exactly one cell. There's no multi-home system here, this is your one dedicated space.
Claiming Your Cell
If you don't have a cell yet, opening /cell shows a Claim Your Cell option. Claiming is completely free and instantly assigns you the next available room. You can't choose a specific location, but every cell starts at the same baseline size (Tier 1) and can be upgraded later.
The Cell Menu
From /cell, you can:
- Teleport to your own cell, or browse and visit other players' cells server-wide.
- Set a custom name and description for your cell.
- Lock or unlock your cell.
- Manage your trusted members list.
- Manage your banned players list.
- Access the upgrade shop to grow your room.
Locking, Trust, and Bans
- Locked - only you and anyone on your trusted list can enter. Locking your cell immediately kicks out any visitors who aren't trusted.
- Unlocked - anyone can visit.
- Trusted members can enter a locked cell, and can build/break inside it, except for the room's outer structure (walls, floor, roof), which is always protected no matter who you trust.
- Banned players can't visit your cell at all, even if it's unlocked. Banning someone who's currently inside immediately ejects them.
- How many people you can trust depends on your rank, everyone gets at least 1 trusted slot, with higher tiers unlocking more.
Anyone who isn't you or trusted can't break/place blocks or open containers and workstations inside your cell, full stop.
Upgrading Your Cell
Your cell starts at Tier 1 and can be upgraded up to Tier 5, each tier giving you a bigger room.
Upgrading works in two steps:
- Claim your upgrade key - one free key per tier, unlocked purely by how much time you've spent playing on the server (no cost to claim the key itself).
- Use the key - this is where the actual cost comes in, and it charges your balance at the moment you use it, not when you claimed the key.
| Upgrade | Cost to Use Key |
| Tier 1 → 2 | $15,000 |
| Tier 2 → 3 | $50,000 |
| Tier 3 → 4 | $100,000 |
| Tier 4 → 5 | $400,000 |
Before you upgrade: your room gets completely wiped and rebuilt at the new size. There's no undo. Move anything you care about out of your cell before confirming an upgrade.
Getting Out
Every cell has an exit portal inside it. Step through it to leave, owners are sent back to the server's main spawn, and visitors are sent back to their own cell.
A Few Notes
- There's a shared hallway between cells that only you can pass through while visiting someone with permission, wandering outside your cell's bounds without permission will get you automatically sent back.
- Teleporting to your own cell or to a visit is instant, no waiting around for a cast time.
- Random teleport commands and similar shortcuts don't work to sneak into the homes world, this world is locked down to the cell system specifically.
