Cellphone guide

Last updated August 16, 2026

Contacts, messages, voice calls, maps, social posts and games in one item.

The short version

Hold your cellphone in your main hand and right-click to open it. Hold Shift and right-click another player to add their active character to your contacts.

Getting and opening a phone

Staff can give phones with /givephone [player] or /phonegive <all|player>.
Use /checkphonestatus if you are unsure whether one is in your inventory.
Right-click the air or a block with the phone in your main hand. Sneaking is reserved for the contact shortcut, so stand normally to open the main screen.
The phone follows your active character name, while its data remains safely tied to your Minecraft account.

Contacts and direct messages

Contacts may be favorited, privately nicknamed, blocked or removed. Favorites sort first. Messages remain available while either player is offline, and the main screen reports only your unread direct and group messages.

Open any contact to message or call them.
Conversation screens show eight messages at a time with Older and Newer navigation.
Export copies either the latest 50 messages or the full transcript to your clipboard, capped at 8,000 characters.
Blocking a contact prevents their messages and private calls from reaching you.
Deleting a direct conversation removes the shared thread for both participants.

Voice calls

Calls use Simple Voice Chat. Proximity voice continues working while a call is active, so nearby people can still hear what you say normally unless you move away or use the game's usual voice controls.

Command	Use
`/answer` or `/pickup`	Join the incoming call.
`/decline` or `/reject`	Reject the incoming call.
`/hangup` or `/cphangup`	Leave or cancel the call.
`/callmute`	Mute only your phone-call microphone.
`/calldeafen`	Mute only incoming call audio.
`/speaker`	Toggle two-way speakerphone for nearby players.

Do Not Disturb prevents calls and message alerts. A call rings for 30 seconds. Group calls ring the available online members; each person decides whether to join.

GPS and notes

Save, rename, track, share and delete up to 50 GPS pins. Tracking reports distance and direction relative to where you are standing.
A shared pin is copied into the recipient's phone, so later changes to yours do not alter theirs.
Create, edit, pin and delete up to 100 private notes.

Social

Each character may claim one permanent 3–16 character handle. Discover other accounts, follow or unfollow them, and switch between the full feed and people you follow.

Posts are limited to 200 characters and appear six per page.
Heart and dislike reactions are mutually exclusive; choosing one removes the other.
You can delete your own posts. Handles survive a session reset.

Group chats

Create a named group of up to 10 members from your contacts.
Groups keep message history, unread positions, paging, transcript exports and notifications.
The owner may add or remove members. If the owner leaves, ownership transfers; an empty group deletes itself.
Use Call Group to ring the online members through Simple Voice Chat.

Games

Game	How it works
Blackjack	Soft aces, dealer stands on 17, pushes and 3:2 natural payout.
Higher or Lower	Build a streak or cash out; equal ranks lose.
Memory	Repeat a growing four-symbol sequence for chips and a best-round record.
Wordle	Six guesses, 112 answers, duplicate-aware colored-letter feedback and streak rewards.
Connect Four	Persistent contact match with gravity, all win directions and full-board draws.
Tic-Tac-Toe	Persistent contact match with turn and occupied-cell protection.
Rock Paper Scissors	Hidden simultaneous picks; first to two rounds wins.

Multiplayer challenges may include equal chip stakes. The phone holds the challenger's stake, takes the opponent's when accepted, pays the winner, and refunds draws or declined/withdrawn pending matches. Records and leaderboards persist between logins.

Settings and session resets

Do Not Disturb: suppress incoming call rings and message notifications.
Silent/Vibrate: choose the notification sound behavior.
Disable Refresh: stop multiplayer game screens from reopening automatically.
Color: choose from nine colors; every phone in your inventory updates.

What a session reset clears

/phonereset confirm clears contacts, messages, GPS pins, notes, follows, posts, groups, games, records and active matches. It preserves player identity, notification preferences, phone color and permanent social handles.
