Distance is real here.

The hall stands at roughly x -164, z 38 and it is the only place to trade. Currency is diamonds and every sale pays 5% tax. Inside it behaves like spawn: no PvP, no mobs, no building.

Click a clerk NPC to open the market, which stays open to you for 3 minutes. Click a listing and the item lands in your inventory. To sell, click a clerk first, then hold the item and name your price. Diamonds from your sales wait for you under My Listings.

Stand inside your own claim to set your point. You can move it once every 24 hours. Travelling to someone runs a 5 second countdown that cancels if you move or take a hit, and you get one visit per player per day.

Overworld only, and you cannot start one while standing in someone else's claim.

Craft a lodestone from 8 chiseled stone bricks around 1 netherite ingot and place it at your base. Right click a compass on it and the two are bound, so the needle points home from anywhere.

Sneak and right click while holding that compass for a 5 second countdown, then you land beside your lodestone. It recharges for 30 minutes, refuses to fire for 10 seconds after you take damage, and works from the Nether and the End. Break the lodestone and the link goes with it. Lose the compass and you craft another. A lodestone in someone else's claim only works for them and the people they trust.

Right click a villager with an empty bucket and in it goes, keeping its profession, trades and level. Right click a block to pour it back out. It works on villagers, zombie villagers and wandering traders, and dispensers can pick up and place them too.

You can only scoop where you are allowed to build, so not inside someone else's claim. A bucketed villager can be sold on the Grand Exchange.

The auction house, base visiting and lodestone travel each passed a poll before they existed. When one is open you get a reminder as you log in.

One vote per player, ballots are anonymous, and the count stays sealed until the poll closes, usually after 24 hours. Once it has closed you can check that your own vote was counted.

You arrive inside a white quartz tower about 100 blocks tall at the world origin. Typing /spawn returns you from anywhere with no cooldown and no cost.

The zone around it is protected: nothing can be built or broken, there is no PvP, no mobs and no explosions. New players keep respawning here until they sleep in a bed. The Grand Exchange is a short walk away.
