## PREFACE

This is not a tutorial. This is a complete guide — from the moment you open your eyes in a new world to the moment you stand at the head of an Empire, commanding colonies across the land. Read it front to back, or use it as a reference. Every key, every rare block, every system is documented here.

---

# PART ONE: AWAKENING
## Starting the Game

When you load a new world you spawn somewhere in the terrain — plains, jungle, tundra, desert, beach — the world is fully procedural and your starting biome is random. Look around. Get your bearings.

Your screen shows:
- **Hotbar** (bottom center) — 9 quick-access slots
- **Health bar** — red hearts, top left
- **XP level ring** — around the health indicator
- **Minimap** — top right corner (press **M** to open the full map)
- **Quest notification area** — top center; yellow text flashes when something important happens

You start with nothing. You need to punch trees.

---

## Your First Five Minutes

### Step 1 — Gather Wood
Walk up to any tree and hold **Left Click** to break it. Each log gives you Wood. Collect about 16 logs to be safe.

### Step 2 — Make Planks and a Crafting Table
Open your **inventory** by pressing **T** (bag). In the 2×2 grid on the right side of your inventory, place 1 Wood log to get 4 Planks. Make 8 Planks total.

Then arrange 4 Planks in a 2×2 square in that same grid to craft a **Crafting Table**.

Place the Crafting Table on the ground (select it in your hotbar with **1–9**, then **Right-Click** the ground).

### Step 3 — Open the Crafting Table
Right-click the Crafting Table (or press **E** while looking at it). This opens a full 3×3 crafting grid, giving you access to all basic recipes.

### Step 4 — Make Tools
Using your Planks + Sticks, craft in this order:
1. **Wooden Pickaxe** — dig Stone
2. **Wooden Axe** — cut Wood faster
3. **Wooden Sword** — defend yourself

Then mine Stone and upgrade to Stone tools immediately. Stone tools are 2× faster and last far longer.

### Step 5 — Make a Furnace
8 Cobblestone in a ring (center empty) = **Furnace**. Place it, open with **E**, put Iron Ore in the top and Wood in the fuel slot (bottom). Walk away — it smelts automatically. Return to pick up **Iron Ingots**.

Upgrade to Iron tools. You now have a working base camp.

---

## Shelter and Survival

Build a simple structure before nightfall. Hostile mobs spawn in the dark. A dirt hut works — 3 walls, a door, a roof. Place a **Torch** inside for light.

**Bed** — craft from Wool + Planks. Sleep in it to skip the night and set your spawn point.

**Chest** — 8 Planks in a ring (center empty). Store extra materials so you're not carrying everything.

**Campfire** — place near your base for ambient warmth and light. Does not require fuel; burns indefinitely.

---

# PART TWO: THE WORLD
## Biomes and What They Contain

The world is divided into biomes. Each has unique terrain, materials, and secrets.

| Biome | Notable Materials | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Plains** | Grass, Flowers, Oak/Birch trees | Common starting biome; villages spawn here |
| **Desert** | Red Sand, Sandstone, Mesa formations | Natural arches carved by erosion; no water |
| **Tundra** | Snow, Spruce/Fir trees, Tundra Rock | Ice sheets, rare Tundra Flowers |
| **Jungle** | Jungle Planks, Bamboo, dense canopy | Ruins and temples hidden in undergrowth |
| **Beach/Tropical** | Tropical Sand, Coconut Palms | Coastal biome between ocean and land |
| **Swamp** | Swamp Mud, Swamp Water, Willows | Mossy logs, dark atmosphere |
| **Ocean** | OceanMud, Coral, Kelp, Seagrass | Underwater cave systems beneath |
| **Mesa/Canyon** | Red Sandstone, Terracotta, Canyon Rock | Dramatic pillars and arches |
| **Sky Island** | Skyland Stone, Skyland Grass, pillars | Floating islands high above — rare |
| **Magic Forest** | Magic Log, Magic Leaves, Magic Planks | Needed for Spell Forge; rare biome |
| **Volcanic** | Volcanic Rock, Lava Rock, Obsidian | Near lava; fire damage risk |

### Underground
Caves are generated beneath all biomes. As you dig deeper:
- **Coal** — very common, shallow
- **Iron** — common, mid depth
- **Copper** — common, mid depth
- **Gold** — moderate, deeper
- **Mithril** — uncommon, deep
- **Adamantite** — rare, very deep
- **Runite** — extremely rare, near bedrock level
- **Gems** — Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, Opal, Topaz — scattered throughout deep layers

### Cavern Biomes
Deep underground you'll find special biome pockets:

- **Crystal Cavern** — walls covered in **Amethyst Clusters** and **BioMoss** that glows. Harvest Amethyst for high-value gem ore.
- **Mushroom Grotto** — **Giant Mushroom Caps** and Stems towering in the dark. BioMoss carpets the floor.
- **Lava Tubes** — **ObsidianSpike** formations and flowing lava channels. Volcanic-tier materials.
- **Hydrothermal Trench** — found at extreme ocean depth. **HydrothermalVent** blocks emit particle clouds.

---

## Rare World Structures

These generate naturally and are worth exploring:

- **Villages** — clusters of NPCs: Farmers, Merchants, Scholars, Bards, Guards. Always have a well, some buildings, and loot chests. This is where you begin quests.
- **Sky Islands** — rare floating landmasses with Skyland Stone/Grass. Some contain Parthenon ruins with pillars and treasure.
- **Dungeons** — underground stone-brick rooms with traps (arrow dispensers, swinging blades, lava drains, flood plates, pressure-plate puzzles) and loot at the end. Trap Levers on the wall disable all traps per floor.
- **Deep Ruins** — Mesa canyons contain fortress walls, catacomb bricks, and iron bar cages.
- **Ocean Ruins** — coral-covered structures on the seabed with loot chests.
- **Lava Shrine** — obsidian structure in volcanic zones.

---

# PART THREE: THE MAIN QUEST
## How to Find It

The main quest is delivered by NPCs in villages. There is no single static quest — instead, every NPC with a **!** icon above their head has a quest for you. The main story arc chains through multiple villages and NPC types.

### Getting Your First Quest
1. Walk into any village.
2. Look for NPCs with a glowing **!** above them.
3. Press **E** while facing them to open dialogue.
4. Select **[Accept Quest]** when the option appears.
5. Press **L** to open your **Quest Log** and track progress.

Quests have up to 6 steps (each tracked individually in your Quest Log). Steps include:
- Collect X items
- Talk to NPC
- Kill X enemies
- Build/place X structure
- Deliver item to NPC

**Quest-critical items** glow with a bouncing star badge in your inventory — do not throw them away.

### The Quest Arc (General Progression)

**Early Game — The Wanderer**
Your first quests are survival-tier: gather materials, slay nearby monsters, deliver goods between villages. Completing these builds your **Renown** (a 0–1000 score that affects how merchants treat you and whether colonists gift you items).

**Mid Game — The Builder**
As Renown rises, quests scale up. You'll be asked to explore dungeons, retrieve artifacts, deal with corrupted zones (Corrupted Grass/Stone biomes), and investigate the **Dimensional Rift** structures. Warlords and faction leaders give you strategic quests at this stage.

**Late Game — The Sovereign**
Once you control colonies, the arc shifts toward empire management: diplomatic missions, siege warfare, and territorial control. The **Oracle Terminal** (see below) generates unique lore-tied quest hooks drawn from the world's history.

---

# PART FOUR: COLONIES
## Founding a Colony

A **Colony Block** (`[397]`) is the cornerstone of your empire. Place one near an existing NPC village to register that settlement as your colony.

**Recipe:** Requires Runite Bars + Iron Blocks + Iron Ingots + Planks — a mid-to-late-game recipe.

**Founding steps:**
1. Craft a Colony Block.
2. Find a village with at least a few NPCs.
3. Select the Colony Block in your hotbar and right-click the ground near the village center.
4. A colony is instantly generated: NPCs become colonists, buildings register, and the colony appears on your map (yellow dot).
5. Right-click the Colony Block (or any colonist) and press **COLONY** in the dialogue to open the **Colony Management Panel**.

---

## Colony Management Panel

The panel has **5 tabs**:

### Tab 1 — Overview
- Colony name, population count, treasury balance (gold coins)
- Happiness rating (0–100) and Reputation rating (0–100)
- Current season effects
- Assign a **Mayor** (elected at population 10): Jovial Mayor = food boost, Brave Mayor = tool production, Scholar Mayor = research speed

### Tab 2 — Colonists
- List of all NPCs in the colony with their roles and current task
- Roles: Farmer, Merchant, Scholar, Guard, Blacksmith, Bard, Lord/Lady
- **Lord/Lady** spawns automatically when treasury reaches 50+ gold; they collect daily tithe and boost treasury income

### Tab 3 — Buildings
- List of colony structures and their current status
- Each building provides buffs (see Special Blocks section)
- Build more structures to attract more colonists (displayed as notification when threshold is hit)

### Tab 4 — Orders
- Issue direct orders to colonists: patrol routes, work assignments, raid response stance

### Tab 5 — Diplomacy
- Declare war, offer peace, or propose federation with neighboring colonies
- Become a **Vassal Lord** by having another colony submit to you (achievement unlocked)

---

## Raids and Defense

When your colony comes under attack:
1. The **Bell Block** rings automatically
2. Guards move to defensive positions
3. Colonists with access to an **Armory Chest** grab weapons
4. You can man a **Cannon Block** or **Catapult Block** for heavy firepower

Between raids, build **Arrow Slits** into your walls — press **E** while facing an Arrow Slit to fire arrows in its facing direction without exposing yourself.

---

## Growing Your Colony

- Build more colony structures ? colonists immigrate automatically
- Raise Happiness (Well + Shrine + fed Farmers) ? population grows faster
- Raise Treasury (taxes + Lord Manor + trade) ? unlocks higher-tier colonist roles
- Assign Scholar to Library ? researches upgrades that appear in the Orders tab

---

# PART FIVE: FEDERATION AND EMPIRE
## Forming a Federation

Once you have multiple colonies, you can federate them:

1. Press **Y** to open the **Empire Panel**
2. Go to the **Diplomacy** tab (Tab 3)
3. Select a colony you own or have befriended
4. Choose **Propose Federation**
5. If accepted, colonies share resources and mutual defense

A federation means raid warnings ping all member colonies and resource pools are accessible via the **Shared Chest** system.

---

## The Empire Panel (Y Key)

Press **Y** at any time (outside menus) to open the Empire Panel. Three tabs:

### Tab 1 — Overview
- Lists all your colonies and their status
- Total empire population, total treasury balance
- Active threats and raid countdowns
- Issue **Royal Decrees** — empire-wide laws that affect all colonists simultaneously (e.g., reduced taxes, military draft, free trade declaration)

- Orders are fulfilled over time by colonists autonomously

### Tab 3 — Diplomacy
- View all known kingdoms (player-founded and NPC kingdoms)
- Declare war, sign peace treaties, propose vassalage, form federations
- **Vassal System** — lesser colonies pay tribute to your empire; you provide military protection
- A colony becomes **Imperial** once it has a Lord Manor, 3+ colony buildings, and is federated with at least one other colony

---

## Empirical Ownership

To claim true **empirical ownership** of a territory:

1. Place a **Colony Block** and grow the colony to population 10+
2. Build a **Lord Manor Block** (spawns Lord/Lady)
3. Build a **Territory Obelisk** nearby — right-click and channel for 30 seconds to capture it
4. Place **Territory Gates** on roads into your region — they block non-members from entering
5. Open Empire Panel ? Overview ? your colony now shows "IMPERIAL" status

Once imperial, your map region is color-coded and other players/NPCs respect your territorial claim.

---

# PART SIX: ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
## Order / Chaos and Light / Shadow

Your character has two alignment axes:
- **Order ? Chaos** (tracked as `alignOrder`: -100 to +100)
- **Light ? Shadow** (tracked as `alignLight`: -100 to +100)

These shift based on your actions:
- Helping NPCs, completing quests, donating to Shrines ? Order + Light
- Killing colonists, stealing, using Shadow Strike ? Chaos + Shadow
- Protecting villages ? Order
- Burning crops or inciting raids ? Chaos

### Alignment Abilities (G Key)
When either axis reaches ±90, press **G** to use your alignment ability:

| Alignment | Ability | Effect |

# PART NINE: SPECIAL AND RARE BLOCKS
## Explained One by One

These blocks go beyond basic building materials — each has unique behavior, a special crafting requirement, or is found only in specific conditions.

---

### CRAFTING TABLE `[197]`
**How to obtain:** 4 Wood Planks in a 2×2 in your inventory grid.  
**What it does:** Expands your crafting area from 2×2 to 3×3, unlocking the vast majority of recipes. The very first thing you must build. Without it, you cannot make tools, armor, or any workstation.

---

### FURNACE `[198]`
**How to obtain:** 8 Cobblestone in a ring at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Smelts raw ores into bars and cooks food. Runs passively — load it up and walk away. Fuel: Wood (2 items), Coal (8 items), Lava Bucket (100 items). Front face glows orange when active. Upgrade to FurnaceFront variants for display aesthetics.

---

### ANVIL `[200]`
**How to obtain:** 3 Iron Blocks + 1 Iron Block + 3 Iron Ingots at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Repairs and upgrades equipment. Combine an item with its source material to restore durability. Use gem stones in the secondary slot to reforge or upgrade. Higher-tier materials can be used once you've obtained them.

---

### CAULDRON `[201]`
**How to obtain:** 7 Iron Ingots in a U-shape at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Brewing and potion crafting. Place fuel (fire or lava) under it, then drop ingredients on top. Brews potions and — with the Essentials mod — **Fruit Smoothies** (drop tropical fruits in ? +10 HP + 1 seed, "Fruit Smoothie!" title flashes when complete).

### SPELL FORGE `[341]`
**How to obtain:** Advanced recipe: Runite Bars + Obsidian + Magic Planks + multiple Gem types. Magic Planks come from the rare Magic Forest biome.  
**What it does:** Converts magic wands + gem stones into castable spells. The wand tier determines spell power — Runite Wand spells are dramatically stronger than Iron Wand spells. This is the primary mid-to-late-game magic crafting station. Open with E.  
**Rare factor:** Magic Logs are found only in the Magic Forest biome (uncommon world spawn). You may explore extensively before finding one.

---

### BILLBOARD `[303]`
**How to obtain:** Iron Ingots + Planks + Glass at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Large in-world text sign. Write custom text; it renders facing outward in the world. Right-click / E to edit. Supports color codes. Great for labeling colony zones, shop fronts, quest markers, and public notices.

---

### ACTION BLOCK `[304]`
**How to obtain:** Iron + Copper Wire + Trigger Block at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Runs a script when a player walks on it or right-clicks it. Supports: say, give, teleport, if/then logic. Can be wired into the Circuitry system (pressure plates, levers, buttons trigger it). Used for custom map events, locked doors, NPC dialogue triggers, and puzzles.

---

### MIDI BLOCK `[409]`
**How to obtain:** Iron + Copper + Gold + Glass (advanced recipe).  
**What it does:** An interactive piano-roll music workstation. Place notes on a grid, set pitch and instrument, press Play to loop your composition in-world. Nearby players and colonists hear it. Notes persist inside the block permanently. Right-click / E to open the MIDI editor grid.

---

### HOVER BLOCK `[204]`
**How to obtain:** Craftable via iron/circuitry recipe.  
**What it does:** Floats in place and carries players or NPCs standing on top of it. Used with Speed Pad and Circuitry to build moving platforms, elevators, and contraptions. Rideable.

---

### JUMP PAD `[205]`
**How to obtain:** Craftable.  
**What it does:** Launches the player vertically when stepped on. Used to build parkour courses, escape routes, and vertical transit in colonies.

---

### SPEED PAD `[408]`
**How to obtain:** Craftable.  
**What it does:** A Sonic-style boost pad — launches the player, NPCs, or HoverBlocks in the direction the pad faces when stepped on. Useful for horizontal transit systems and colony transport.

---

### PORTAL A / PORTAL B `[206, 207]`
**How to obtain:** Craftable with Obsidian + special materials.  
**What it does:** Two-way teleporter. Place Portal A at location 1 and Portal B at location 2; walking into either teleports you to the other. Used for fast transit between base camps, colonies, and dungeons.

---

### WARP PORTAL A / B `[215, 216]`
**How to obtain:** Craftable, higher-tier than standard portals.  
**What it does:** Long-range warp portal — functions like the standard portal pair but supports greater distances and can be linked in more complex configurations. Used in late-game empire networks.

---

### GATEWAY BLOCK `[208]`
**How to obtain:** Rare crafting recipe.  
**What it does:** A dimensional gateway marker. Related to the **Dimensional Rift** `[424]` naturally spawning structures found in corrupted biomes. Interacting with a Rift block or Gateway triggers a transition event.

---

### DIMENSIONAL RIFT `[424]`
**How to find:** Generates naturally in corrupted biome zones (near **Corrupted Grass** `[422]` and **Corrupted Stone** `[423]` patches).  
**What it does:** Portal to an alternate dimension — a hostile sub-world with unique enemies and loot. Enter by right-clicking. This is one of the highest-risk, highest-reward areas in the game.

---

### CORRUPTED GRASS / CORRUPTED STONE `[422, 423]`
**How to find:** Generates naturally in certain world zones; can spread from corrupted mobs.  
**What it does:** Biome corruption. It spreads slowly — Corrupted Grass replaces normal Grass at the surface, Corrupted Stone replaces Stone underground. Mobs in corrupted zones are stronger and drop rare corruption-tier loot. You can contain corruption by removing infected blocks.

---

### STRONTIUM ALUMINATE `[342]`
**How to find:** Rare underground ore-type block. Does not drop from common mining — look for a distinctive glowing vein in cave systems.  
**What it does:** A glow-in-the-dark phosphorescent stone that emits warm sun-colored light passively. No power required. One of the best passive light sources in the game and highly decorative. Rare enough that finding a pocket of it is a genuine moment of luck.

---

### RUNITE ORE GLOWING `[381]`
**How to find:** Deep underground, rarer than standard Runite Ore. Emits a distinctive teal glow visible from a distance in dark caves.  
**What it does:** Stronger visual variant of Runite Ore with enhanced emissive glow. Same mining/smelting behavior as standard Runite but dramatically better as a light source and decoration. A sign you've hit deep, rich ore territory.

---

### AMETHYST CLUSTER `[363]`
**How to find:** Crystal Cavern biome, deep underground. Grows on cave walls and ceilings.  
**What it does:** Mined for Amethyst (gem ore). Emits a soft purple glow. Can be harvested with a mid-tier pickaxe. One of the more beautiful cave formations — entire cavern ceilings encrusted in purple crystal clusters.

---

### BIO MOSS `[366]`
**How to find:** Crystal Cavern and Mushroom Grotto biomes.  
**What it does:** Bioluminescent moss — emits a gentle blue-green glow and carpets cave walls. Purely decorative/atmospheric but visually striking. Harvestable and placeable.

---

### OBSIDIAN SPIKE `[367]`
**How to find:** Lava Tube cavern biome.  
**What it does:** Formation block — sharp obsidian spikes erupting from lava tube floors and ceilings. Deals contact damage if you walk into them. Mine with a high-tier pickaxe for Obsidian material.

---

### HOME DEED `[361]`
**How to obtain:** Crafted from planks + paper + gold.  
**What it does:** Player housing claim block. Place at your door to register a home region — this prevents other players from building or breaking blocks inside your defined home area. The registered region is tied to your username and persists across sessions.

---

### COLONY BLOCK `[397]`
**How to obtain:** Runite Bars + Iron Blocks + Iron Ingots + Planks.  
**What it does:** The single most important late-game block. Place near an NPC village to found a colony. Instantly generates the colony management structure, links all nearby NPCs as colonists, and registers the settlement on your world map. Right-click ? COLONY to manage. See Part Four for full details.

---

### TERRITORY OBELISK `[395]`
**How to obtain:** Rare — spawns naturally as a neutral capturable pillar in the world. Also craftable with high-tier materials.  
**What it does:** A capturable territory marker. Right-click and channel for 30 uninterrupted seconds to capture it for your colony/guild. Once captured it displays your colony's color. Capturing multiple obelisks in a region establishes territorial dominance for the Empire Panel.

---

### TERRITORY GATE `[396]`
**How to obtain:** Crafted with Iron Bars + Gate mechanism.  
**What it does:** A guild/colony-placed gate that physically blocks passage to non-members. Place on roads entering your territory. Friendly colonists and party members pass freely; enemies and neutrals are blocked. Useful for chokepoint defense during siege.

---

### ORACLE TERMINAL `[343]`
**How to obtain:** Advanced recipe — Copper + Iron + Glass + Gold at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Connects to a local language model oracle that responds with prophecies, quest hooks, and lore relevant to your world. Type a question; it answers in-character. The oracle's signal strength (and thus response quality) is boosted by adjacent blocks:
- **Server Rack** `[344]` — +1 tier boost within 12 blocks
- **Satellite Uplink** `[362]` — ×3 boost (tall antenna dish, must be placed nearby)
- **Satellite Receiver** `[252]` — external signal source
- **Vacuum Tube** `[350]` — analogue amplifier for signal over distance

Press ESC to close the Oracle Terminal.

---

### SERVER RACK `[344]`
**How to obtain:** Iron + Copper + advanced components.  
**What it does:** Boosts Oracle Terminal signal strength within a 12-block radius. Place multiple for stacking effect. Also part of the Circuitry/computer network — works alongside Computer Block `[192]` and Script Terminal.

---

### SCRIPT TERMINAL `[345]`
**How to obtain:** High-tier crafting recipe with Copper, Iron, Glass, Gold.  
**What it does:** An in-world IDE — a fully functional text editor where you write and run **ScriptVM programs** directly inside the game. Programs can control blocks, output text to linked Televisions, trigger events, control Circuitry, and automate colony actions.

Open with **E**. Write your script (a simplified assembly/bytecode language). Press Run. Output goes to any linked Television block in range.

---

### TELEVISION `[346]`
**How to obtain:** Copper + Glass + Iron at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** Displays text output from a linked **Script Terminal** program. Place multiple TVs side by side — they form a grid that scales the display area proportionally. Can also be linked to an **Arcade Cabinet** to mirror its pixel output (the TV shows what the arcade is displaying). Right-click to view current output.

---

### ARCADE CABINET `[348]`
**How to obtain:** Copper + Iron + Glass + GameCartridge (recipe at Crafting Table).  
**What it does:** A fully playable arcade machine running built-in ROM games via the ScriptVM engine. Press **E** to sit down and play. Insert a **Game Cartridge** `[349]` adjacent to the cabinet to load a specific game ROM. Press **ESC** or **E** again to exit. Arrow keys / WASD control the game; Space is the action button. Output can be mirrored to adjacent Televisions.

---

### GAME CARTRIDGE `[349]`
**How to obtain:** Crafted or found in dungeon loot.  
**What it does:** A ROM cartridge block. Place it adjacent to an Arcade Cabinet to load that ROM's game. Different cartridges contain different games. Rare cartridges with unique games can be found in dungeon chests and sky island ruins.

---

### EXHIBIT DIORAMA `[347]`
**How to obtain:** Iron + Glass + Copper at Crafting Table.  
**What it does:** A museum diorama block. Right-click / E to open the caption editor. The diorama records a snapshot of nearby NPCs and replays them as translucent ghosts — a "living" exhibit showing what was happening at the moment of capture. Used for colony museums, memorials, and story-telling installations.

---

## A Note on Animal Egg Blocks

You'll find these in dungeon loot, special chests, and rare drops:

# PART TEN: ENDGAME AND MASTERY

Once you have:
- Multiple colonies running
- An Empire with 3+ federated settlements
- Territory Obelisks captured in key zones
- A Spell Forge producing high-tier spells
- Max alignment on at least one axis
- A Gladiator Ring operational
- Oracle Terminal active with Server Rack + Satellite Uplink

...you have reached what the game considers full late-game. There is no credits sequence — the world continues. The endgame loop is:

1. **Expand your empire** — find new villages, place Colony Blocks, federate
2. **Defend your territory** — raids scale with your empire size
3. **Pursue rare blocks** — Dragon Egg, Sky Vault loot, Dimensional Rift dimension
4. **Max all skills** — especially Fishing (tournament trophies), Thieving (pickpocket chain), and Magic (full spell library)
5. **Build monuments** — Diorama blocks recording your history, MIDI compositions, Arcade games

The Oracle Terminal in late game shifts from giving you quests to reflecting on your empire's history — it knows what colonies you founded, what wars you won, and what you've built. Ask it about your world. It will answer.
