You've warped into a new world and don't really know what to do. The first thing you should do is go out and punch a few trees and strangle some sheep. Here is a list of some things you should set out to get before dark: At least 20 wood A good 10 pieces of pork or beef as they produce the most health when cooked. 8 pieces of cobblestone. You need a furnace! Coal and Iron can be gathered with your starter pickaxe. 20 or so dirt incase you get into a 'think fast' situation and need to get to high ground. While gathering your startup supplies be sure you are chatting with and being good natured towards everybody. You want friends on a faction server. After you have gathered your supplies, make the following: Make your wood into wood planks. Create a crafting table. Make sticks from your planks. Use your coal and sticks to create a light source. Furnace time! Smelt your Iron and meat. Make a sword and pickaxe as your starter tools wont last forever! Now, for your first night I recommend just hanging out somewhere safe from mobs until it is day. If you feel up for it, go mining! Now that you have all of your supplies, it is time to see about getting yourself a Faction. You may be sitting here asking yourself "What in the world is a faction?" Factions is a server plugin in which it allows you to create you're own faction or team. The more faction members you obtain, the more land you can claim. Their is less of a chance of your land getting greifed if you are in a faction since only the factions members can claim there. Factions also form alliances and form enemy's. Through war, factions may take other peoples land depending on their power. Now if you can't find anyone who will let you join their faction, just think to yourself, "Ah, they are really lucking out, I'm going to totally get them back someday. I'll show them!" Maybe even throw in a creepy laugh for drastic measure. (Note to self: Make sure no one is around when you do the creepy laugh.. may get weird looks from family members...) If the latter is in fact your case, then you will need to know a few commands which I will put in a spoiler below: Spoiler: Creating Your Faction /f create <name> - create new faction /f name <new name> - set faction name /f desc <desc> - change faction description /f sethome [faction=you] - set the faction home Once you've made your faction and come up with a ruthless description, you should build a base. Now while building, keep an eye on the chat for new comers looking for a faction. you may want the help creating the base for your faction. If you find someone you think you can trust, go ahead and give them a chance! You will need to know a few more commands which I will put in a spoiler below: Spoiler: Get Faction Members /f open [yes/no=toggle] - set if invitation is required to join /f inv,invite <player> [yes/no=toggle] - set if player is invited /f kick <player> - kick player from faction /f title <player> <title> - set player title /f promote <player> - promote lesser members in your faction /f demote <player> - demote lesser members in your faction /f mod <player> - make player officer /f admin <player> [faction=you] - set leader for faction Now that you are working on your base, and you are getting members, you may want claim some land. Claiming land will keep non-faction members from breaking blocks to your base and even opening chests of yours. You will need to know a few more commands which I will put in a spoiler below: Spoiler: Claim Faction Land! /f claim one [faction=you] - claim land where you stand /f autoclaim [faction=you] - autoclaim when walking /f unclaim - unclaim land where you stand /f unclaimall - unclaim all land Now the rest is up to you guys!
