This is a Survival Server - make things on your own.

• Don't beg.
• go to a creative server when you're to lazy to work (mine and craft)
• when asking for help, give details of what you need help with. That raises your chances of a speedy response that helps.
• open inventory with i and search the recipes. It displays how to craft sub-items and also in which recipes that item is used.

Find stable sources of food.

• Start with collecting apples, then build own food source.
• A wheat field or some apple trees is done fast and supports you with food.

Make your first basic items

• Look for a tree, take it down and keep all: trunk and leaves.
• Make planks and sticks. From these make your first tools.
• Make oil extract from leaves and use that as your first fuel.

Go to a public mine and get some materials.

• Don't dig down in mines, this way you will fall and will have hard time recovering Bones.
• Dig sideways. Try finding gold or buying it (search prices on the web map) for your first protection block.
• Until then your locked chest is your base.
• Once you have stone, upgrade to stone tools. Later iron and finally diamond. Same goes for armour.
• Use a furnace to smelt ores into ingots. to get next better tools (2 for sword, 3 for pick-axe, 24 for armor)
• Also make locks for chests.

Make armor

• Even wooden armour is better than none.

Build a home with protection. A protection block is made out of 8 stone and one gold ingot, and protects an area of 11*11*11 nodes.

• Walls keep your home safe from monsters.
• Store your items in locked/protected chests (seeds, leaves, ore, wood, ...)
• Smelt only as many ores as you need (in the beginning), later use grinder to make double ingots out of ores.

Find a public workshop and read instructions there.

• Later you will be able to build your own machines at home.

Make/buy some bags. They greatly expand your inventory and you will not lose items in them in case of death.

• Cotton seeds can be made to bread, so cotton is a good starter plant for your farm.

Repair tools and armor at a public workshop.

• Repair tools before they break. Level them up to 6 for faster and longer use.

Starter Guide

Ok, now here’s a step-by-step guide to succeeding.

• Firstly, you need to go to Commonwealth Hotel to get wood and more food.

Go to the Earth section and right-click on the black square with the inner hollow blue square (a telemosaic beacon) that is labeled Commonwealth Hotel.

Next, you have to go to the top floor of the hotel. Click on the button, and look the chest. There may be wood and some leaves in it. You also can harvest the tomatoes, but please replant!

• Now that you’re well fed, it’s time to mine.

Go to the Public Mine telemosaic beacon and start mining! There are plenty of ores there. If you decide to build a home there, (which isn’t a good choice, better to get a proper home in a proper city so a stray hostile mob doesn’t kill you accidentally) build it far away, and don’t steal from other homes. Remember, this is a friendly server. Try crafting a hammer and anvil to repair your pickaxe.

• Keep mining, and upgrade your equipment from time to time.

You have an XP bar. Once this bar surpasses 10K, you’ll be able to go to the Moon, and pass 50K, Mars. These planets are chock-full of valuable ores! You can make upgrades, such as a glider, armor, and perhaps some technic machines. Keep in mind, diamond is not the best tool. Mithril is. Also remember that you can grind ore lumps to 2 ore dust, and you can smelt a single dust to a single ingot, effectively doubling what you mine. This doesn’t work with coal. Instead, use coal dust as fuel, it’s a much more efficient one.

• Start selling items.

Selling items help newer players, and also make you richer.

• Enjoy!

Keep playing on pandorabox.io:30000! It’s a blast! (Also, by the way, you can make spaceships and blast off into space, see the jumpdrive mod.)
