Your first steps on the server

1. Understand where you are

Spawn is a protected zone: building, interaction and explosions are blocked. The moment you step out, PvP applies. The warzone allows combat but blocks every explosion.

2. Build your normal base

ScandiCraft progression starts after diamond. Wood, stone, iron, then diamond: nothing changes from the Minecraft you know. Take the time to get a diamond pickaxe, it is what unlocks the rest.

3. Go down for lazurite

Lazurite is the first ScandiCraft ore. Look for it between Y -64 and Y -2 in the Overworld, or between Y 0 and Y 31 in the Nether and the End. You need at least a diamond pickaxe.

4. Gear up before exposing yourself

Smelt your raw lazurite in a furnace, then craft a sword, a pickaxe and armour with the usual patterns. A full lazurite set holds up better than diamond and enchants more easily.

5. Join or create a faction

Without a faction, nothing protects your chests. Join one with /f join if you are invited, or start your own with /f create. Then claim the chunk your base sits on with /f claim.

6. Learn combat before you look for it

Swords and axes have a fast pace, with Mining Fatigue slowdown retained. Block-hit brings sword blocking back to the centre of combat. Read the combat rules before your first duel.
