1. Join a world
- Sign in, open Worlds, and choose a world that is online.
- Public worlds share the same core survival systems. Terrain, caves, roads, resources, and reset rules can differ by world.
- Create a character after joining. Wait for the spawn area to load before moving far from spawn.
2. Read the spawn area
- Most worlds start you near protected spawn roads or a town center.
- Do not build on roads, inside protected structures, or against another player's base.
- Use nearby signs, NPCs, and paths to learn local rules before you settle.
3. Make first tools
- Gather tree trunks.
- Open inventory with
I. - Craft trunks into planks, then planks into sticks.
- Craft a wooden pickaxe. Stone and ore require a pickaxe.
- Mine stone, then upgrade to stone tools when you can.
4. Build a small base
- Place torches so you can find the entrance at night.
- Craft a chest for extra items.
- Craft a furnace for cooking and smelting.
- Keep food on the hotbar before leaving spawn or base.
5. Watch the HUD
- HP is health.
- EP is exertion for sprinting and repeated actions.
- MP is mana for spells.
- BP appears when breath matters, such as underwater.
- If you die, you return to spawn and receive a message with the recent damage source.
6. Use quests and homes
- Questmasters use a question mark when they have a quest to offer.
- The character menu, opened with
C, shows quest progress and rewards. - Use
/sethomeat a safe base when the world allows homes. - Use
/hometo return to home. Use/homesto list saved homes.
