Your First Week

You spawn in the village square with a starter kit: basic tools, a bit of food, and 50 Acorns. Take a minute to look around. The buildings near spawn are player made, and the people you see are neighbors, not NPCs. Say hello in chat; someone will almost always say hello back.

Walk or boat out at least 100 blocks from your nearest neighbor before you settle (that is the rule, and it keeps everyone's views nice). When you find a place you love, place a chest and craft a bed. Sleeping sets your respawn, and you can also run /sethome so /home always brings you back.

Protection comes through towns. Joining a town protects your plot instantly, or ask any staff member to help you get set up. Town land cannot be broken, burned, or looted by anyone but you and the people you trust.

Sell crops and goods at the market stalls near spawn, vote for the server each day (each vote pays Acorns and a crate key), and check the community board for jobs posted by other players.
