    1) How to Find the Rules
    When you log into minecraftserver.com for the first time you will spawn here

    READ the signs there have been many people banned because they have not done so![​IMG]
    If you did not spawn here go to chat (default hit t) and type in /spawn, stay still and you will teleport here
    [​IMG]

    Turn to the right (90 degrees) and you should see the giant 777 lava numbers on a building.
    [​IMG]
    Take the first right on that street and go into the first building on the left, in there the rules are explained upstairs.

    2) How to Apply
    a) Go to www.minecraftserver.com
    b) Click the link I circled
    [​IMG]
    c) Make an account and sign in
    [​IMG]
    d) Click the last page option

    e) State that you want to apply for building rights and your IGN (in game name)
    f) Have fun on the server

    3) Starting Your Epic Adventure!
    a) While walking around the server you will notice you cannot break blocks this is because it is a protected zone, walk in any direction for 500 blocks (an easy way to check is to press f3 and see if your Y or Z coordinates are above 500) you can then start building.
    b)
    When you get outside this zone you will find other certain places that you cannot build or destroy blocks this is because players can region this area’s off to stop griefing.
    c)
    To find more land that has not been blocked off to you travel 1000-1500 block as people will start regioning farther and farther apart.
    d) You will find open places to start your survival journey!!

    4) Regioning Your Areas
    a) What regioning does
    -i) It makes it so others can’t build on your land
    -ii) Makes griefing harder to do
    -iii) Regions go from bedrock to the skylimit
    -iv) Your free regions can at max be 75*75 blocks
    -v) You get two free regions
    (b) How to get your area regioned
    -(i) First press tab (default) to see the people on the sever
    -(ii) Look for light blue, dark blue, light red, and dark red names
    -(iii) Ask one of them to region an area off (Have your 75*75 area already outlined to avoid confusion)
    -(iv)Your region will be [your name_1] for example if my name was redblockz my region name would be redblockz_1
    b) Adding members
    -i) Go to chat
    -ii) Type /region addmember [region name] [player name]
    -iii) Remove members by going
    -iv) /region removemember [region name] [player name]
    c) Locking your chests
    -i) Do this for added protection
    -ii) Only let people you trust into your chests
    -iii) Place down your chest and grab a sign
    -iv) Right click on the chest and the sign attaches and looks like this
    -v) You can do this also with doors but have to do it manually

    I believe after 7 days of active forum usage, and maybe 5 posts, you get a lot more "perks" on here, including editing.

    Pocnet or someone else could you include these pictures (if you could find there respective place, if not just attach them), this new section, and change the font size to 4 instead of 3 please!

    8)Stargates


    8) Stargates

    Stargates are used in this server for quicker travel around the servers vast (at this point 4500*4500 world and neather!) They look like neather portals with a sign on the side and button on the other. You right or left click the sign to choose the location you want to go to on that channel. The biggest of these stargate channels is reavers which is on the top floor of the building behind the bank looking like this.

    2012-01-25_20.39.40.png
    One at the top turn 180 degrees and go toward the left portal on the far wall. (there is a very wide range of stargate connections here and you might have to spend time finding the wanted location)

    How to set up a stargate, check who is on by holding tab. Look for travelers and above these people will come to the place you are and set up the stargate where you want it to be, they will ask what name you want the gate to be and what channel, you can start a channel or go to reaver's. Have fun portal-ing around minecraft!

    I know someone has done a Obby generator tutorial before but I want to show how big you could make one be, this can look like a nightmare to non-red-stone people. But those who have done some wiring before should get a clue to what goes on!

    How it looks after 2012-02-02_09.10.20.png
    What the wiring looks like
    2012-02-02_09.10.44.png
    I made it as compact as I could, and with wiring It took me about a half and hour to put it together :)
