Getting Started

Mineworld at its core is close to vanilla survival. A heavy emphasis is placed on the "survival" aspect - there are no teleport commands! /spawn or /home commands do not exist.

But for players that fight their way through Mineworld's extra layers of difficulty can earn the ability to create quick-travel portals or obtain items that help you get around much easier.

Your First Day
When you join Mineworld, you'll find yourself at the spawn shrine. Around you is a protection zone, so you will need to travel some distance to get your starting materials. Alternately, if you feel you can handle special monsters without any equipment, you can enter the portal to the Alternate World, though this is not recommended.

Important things to know:
 * There are no teleportation commands. If you get yourself in trouble, your only way out is to fight!
 * In the main world, when any of your coordinates are larger than ±1,000, you will encounter Special Mobs.
 * In the Alternate World, Special Mobs may appear at any distance from the center. The further you travel, however, the more frequent they become (and stronger variants only appear further in).
 * Do not build permanent settlements in the alternate world. This world is designed to be regularly wiped!
 * A Special Mob's Bestiary tells you its difficulty, and may contain important information.

All Geared Up
Once you have some decent vanilla equipment, you can reasonably hunt special mobs or even raid some dungeons! It's important to know that Mineworld's special features are often designed with the end-game of vanilla in mind, therefore "full iron gear and diamond sword" typically does not constitute as good equipment. You should strive to be using enchanted equipment for any serious fighting.

Beyond the limits of what players can make you can obtain special items, of varying Rarities. These items are usually obtained from exploring, fighting special mobs, boss hunting and dungeon raiding. Eventually you will be powerful enough to hunt the most dangerous enemies, and obtain awesome special items!
