Getting Started

Where To Start
To get started with an island you can type /is which will bring up the menu for island creation. A good way to start is by using the materials on your island to create a cobblestone generator like the one on display at spawn. While mining the generator ores have a chance to spawn.

After you have started your island there is two main low level money making methods. The first is a cactus farm. By creating a cactus farm you can save up enough money to buy a hopper in /hoppers which will allow it to be fully automatic. To make a good AFK cactus farm find a tutorial on YouTube or ask to see someone's on the server, They are very easy to make.

The second money making method to start is to visit the mines. There is a portal at spawn or you can do /warp mine. Be careful though because the deeper you go in the mine the harder the mobs get. While in the mine you can harvest the respawning ores to sell. This is a very dangerous spot though and with starter gear even the level 1 zombies have a high chance of killing you.

After gaining some money you can buy some custom enchants with /ce to improve your gear or buy some gear from other players in /ah or by asking around. After obtaining better gear you can move on to killing the mobs in the mine. Read more about them here.
