Tips - Basics

• Use the commands /sethome and /home
• the unified inventory provides a 2nd home-position

• players get some money each day they dig or build some blocks

• With the mod 'thristy', you need to watch your hydration-bar, and refill it frequently
• note the locations of water, and drinking fountains
• Carry a canteen, keep it filled with water

to refill it, click with it on any block of water

• Collect & carry some food, to help restore health.
  • carry 3-4 different kinds of food (eg. bread, pine-nuts, apples or bananas, raspberries or blueberries)

when eating, cycle thru these different kinds of food

apples and bananas just grow on trees, no need for farming

• Get wood, make tools (wooden pickaxe, wooden axe)
  • with wooden tools get some (cobble-)stones, then make stone tools (more durable)
• Make a furnace from stone, for cooking food and smelting ore
  • Leaves and grass can be used as fuel for the furnace

Also, make some charcoal from wood, for torches

• Get some torches (craft from sticks and coal, or charcoal), so you can go mining underground
  • the shops at spawn also sell torches

• Get backpacks to extend your inventory

there are different recipes, check them !

• Get & wear some armor

shops at spawn sell bronze armor & shields

• be nice, re-plant trees

• Grass & Leaves are a great resource:
  • place & dig to get seeds/saplings (random chance)
  • craft leaves --> twigs --> sticks --> planks --> wooden tools, small backpack, chest, etc.
  • also: leaves --> oil-extract --> parafin --> plastic --> pipes
  • cheap fuel

• Explore, collect stuff, and look out for a good place to build a home

also, watch where protected areas are, and who owns them

With the area-mod, you can use the following commands to protect an area:

• /area_info
• /area_pos1
• /area_pos2
• /protect
• /list-areas

Also, markers are helpful - use 2 or 4 to mark and size up an area. ...

To protect your stuff, check the recipes on how to make locked chests.
