Take the central stargate and walk from there. Join a town. Walking out of spawn, you ------------------------------------------REGIONING THE LAND-------------------------------------------Once you found some land, you can start building! Make sure it is at least 10 blocks away from nearby regions, but the more space, the better.To start regioning, you'll need a stick. Hold the stick, and select two opposite corners of the the region you want to protect. It can look something like this: You can use points 1 and 2 or 3 and 2, but you CANNOT region with points 1 and 3 for a building. You must use point 2, then you can choose either 1 or 3 to use after. The select the two points, get your stick, and punch a point. After you've got the message that you've got selected the first point, go to the other point and select it by right-clicking the point. You should get a message saying that you've selected the second position.

To add other people like your friends to them just type:[Private][Blank/Your name][Friend Name]Like This Then click Done. If one sign isn't big enough because you need to add more players to it, then place another sign but replace [Private] with [More Users] You don't need to place your name or leave the line under [More Users] blank like the first one so it would look like this Now press Done to finish, it should stick itself to the chest. If you made a mistake, the right click the sign and follow the on-screen directions. ----------------------------------------------------BUILDING---------------------------------------------------Now you are set to build to your hearts content!

View attachment 522 ---------------------------------------------------Chest Shops------------------------------------------------------------ Purchasing Chest Shop RightsTo purchase Chest Shop rights, you need 6000 ED.After having 6000 ED, there is a sign at the royal study, which you can access by typing /warp royalstudy. Right click the sign and it should ask you to type /svs yes or right-click again to confirm the purchase. After, it should say something like this if you accept You will then be able to create chest shop signs (Read below for more info on how to set those up. Creating Chest Shops To create a chest shop, you need will need One ChestOne SignThe Item You Want To Sell To create a shop, place a chest and a sign above and behind the chest like so The sign does not need to be on a fence, it can be on any block but it must be in that position. The format to make it is like thisLine 1: [Blank]Line 2: [Amount Buying/Selling]Line 3: [Buy Sell/ Price]Line 4: [Item Id] Explanation Of Sign LinesLine 1: Leave it blankLine 2: How many of an item you want to buy/sell typing 64 means a stack/64 of the item.Line 3: Type Buy or B (for short) then a number. This is how much you are selling the item for. Typing Sell or S then a number is how much you are buying from the customer. [See Picture Below]Line 4: The id of the item. Id's are usually the name unless its two words. You can then look here :http://bit.ly/wrPlm0 or look up on the minecraft wiki. Search for the item on the wiki and under the picture (usually on the right) it should say Data Value: Then Dec # Hex# you only need the Dec #. On the 4 line of the sign just type the Dec number only! If you have Too Many Items installed just open it up, and find the item you are looking for, there should be a number next to it, just type the number in instead. Here is an example This shop is selling 64 [Line 2] of the item, for 1 gold. You can sell it to the store for Free [Line 3]. The item is Melon[Line 4]So to recap, you can buy 64 melon for 1 gold, or sell it for free. Free works on both Buy and Sell. The last line is the number id so 360 is Melon. You could also put 360 which is the id number. After, it will look like this and have a line confirmation. Note that the 360 will be replaced by Melon as 260 is Melon so people don't get confused. Line 1 is blank because your name will be added automatically. Now, just stock the chest with the item you are selling and wait. Watch the money flow in.
