Your First Steps

What happens when you first join, and the first things worth doing.

#The intro

The first time you join, you arrive in a short scene in the void with music, and a question: "Would you like a tutorial of the server?"

  • Yes, show me around takes you on a guided flyover of spawn: the shops, the warps and where to start.
  • No thanks, take me to spawn takes you straight to spawn. You can take the tour whenever you like later with /tour.

If you do not answer, you are sent to spawn automatically after 15 minutes.

Tip If you skip the tour, nothing is lost. /tour is always available, and /tour skip ends it early.

#Create your Box

After the intro the Create My Island menu appears. Pick it and your Box is created in a few seconds, then you are teleported into it. You can own one Box.

If you closed the menu, run /boxhome: with no Box yet, it opens the same menu. You can also use /boxcreate on the Box server.

See Your Box for everything you can do with it.

#A good first session

  1. Take the tour (or skip it) and look around spawn.
  2. Create your Box and set a home with /sethome.
  3. Run /daily and claim your Daily Strike.
  4. Visit the shop with /shop and sell some of what you mine or farm.
  5. Open /achievements and tick off the easy early ones.
  6. Check /quests for storylines to follow.
  7. Meet people: /friend add <name>, or join a /party.

#If you were referred

New players are asked who invited them. Naming the friend who brought you gives you $1,000 straight away, and your friend gets $500 once you have played for 24 hours. See Referrals.

#Linking Discord

Run /discord link in game, then follow the code instructions in our Discord. It connects your Minecraft account to your Discord account.
