Gifts let you send an item to another player for free. The item in your hand is sent to the player's gift box, and they claim it from /gift whenever they like, even if they were offline when you sent it.
Gifts work on Skyblock, Prison, Lifesteal and Survival. They are not available in the hub.
Commands#
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/gift | Opens the Gifts menu: your unclaimed gifts and gift settings |
/gift <player> | Sends the item in your main hand to that player |
/gift history | Opens Gift History: gifts you sent and received |
Sending a gift#
- Hold the item you want to send. The whole stack in your main hand is sent.
- Run
/gift <player>. - A confirmation window titled Gift to Player? shows the item. Click Confirm, or Cancel to keep it ("Gift cancelled.").
- The item leaves your hand: "You sent item to Player." If the player is online they see "Sender sent you a gift! Use /gift to claim it."
You can also click Send Gift (writable book) in the /gift menu and type the player's name. This path sends the item in your hand without the confirmation window.
If the item in your hand changes while the confirmation window is open, the gift is cancelled: "The item in your hand changed, so the gift was cancelled." If sending fails for any other reason, the item is put back in your inventory.
When a gift is refused#
| Message | Why |
|---|---|
| "You must hold an item in your hand." | Your main hand is empty |
| "You cannot gift items to yourself." | You typed your own name |
| "Could not find a player with that name." | No player has that name |
| "That player has never joined this server." | The player has not joined before |
| "That player has disabled receiving gifts." | The player turned gifts off |
| "You are blocked from gifting that player." | The player blocked you |
| "That player has too many unclaimed gifts." | Their gift box is full (see below) |
| "Please wait before sending another gift." | You tried again within 15 seconds |
The 15-second wait starts with every send attempt, including attempts that are refused.
Some protected items, such as a Pirate Cove Treasure Map, cannot be gifted.
Gift box limit#
Each player can hold a limited number of unclaimed gifts. When a player's box is full, nobody can send them more until they claim some. The default is 5 unclaimed gifts.

Claiming gifts#
Open /gift. Each gift shows the item and who sent it.
- Click a gift to claim it ("Gift claimed successfully."). If it does not fit in your inventory, the rest drops at your feet.
- Claim All (chest) asks for confirmation (Claim All Gifts?), then claims as many gifts as you have free inventory slots: "Claimed 3 gifts." Items that do not fit are dropped at your feet. With no free slot at all you get "You don't have enough inventory space to claim these gifts."
Gifts wait in your box until you claim them.
The Gifts menu#
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Your gifts | Click one to claim it |
| Receiving Gifts: ON / OFF (lime or gray dye) | Turns receiving gifts on or off |
| Send Gift (writable book) | Asks for a player name and sends the item in your hand |
| Blocked Players (iron bars) | Opens your block list |

Turning gifts off#
Click Receiving Gifts in /gift ("You have disabled receiving gifts."), or use Toggle if you want to receive gifts in the options menu. While it is off, nobody can send you gifts. Gifts already in your box stay there. Receiving is on by default.
Blocked Players#
A list of players who cannot send you gifts.
- Click Block a player (emerald, top right) and type a name: "Blocked Player from sending you gifts."
- Click a player's head to unblock them: "Unblocked Player from sending you gifts."
Blocking only affects gifts. To stop someone's chat messages, see Ignoring Players.
Gift History#
/gift history lists the gifts you sent and received, newest first. Each entry shows the item, Sent to or Received from with the other player's name, the date, and the status: Claimed or Not claimed yet. If you have never sent or received a gift you get "You have not sent or received any gifts yet."
