Tutorial

This page goes over the basic information, commands, and tips for you to understand and have fun on the server.

Getting Started

If you are having issues joining the server, chances are that you have a mod enabled that is not a part of the server's Mod Whitelist. Make sure to disable or uninstall mods that are outside of the whitelist before joining.

When you join for the first time, you will be placed into the New Player Information corner of spawn. There are several signs around this area describing the server, but the important info for a first time player to know are the server rules, server setup, and basic commands.

The server has general rules that are used by most other servers:

• Do not cheat, hack, glitch, or use exploits to gain an unfair advantage.
• Do not spam or use hate speech.
• Do not use alternate accounts.

This is a map based server. You can play detailed maps, similar to Minecraft adventure maps, made by other players on the server. This server hosts unusual map types, including maps that are mainly about mazes or puzzles. One important rule to know is that, for any map that is not only about parkour, answer sharing is prohibited unless you are working with someone else that has the same aount of progress. Because of this rule, streaming mazes or puzzles is disallowed. Asking or giving solutions to others for maps that are not about parkour is also not allowed.

To join maps on this server, take the dropdown at spawn for the genre you want to play, walk forward, and go to the white concrete area. Clicking on any sign with "[Join ???]" will take you to the map. You can use signs with [Checkpoint] on them to save progress while in a map. Running "/kill" will take you to your last checkpoint. All maps end with a [Finish ???] sign that award points when clicked. If you want to go to a different map at any time, typing "/spawn" will take you back to the spawn area. You can also navigate around spawn faster using the "/play" command.

Joining maps can also be done faster with commands. For example, "/join factory" will take you to the map called Factory. There are recommended starting maps of each genre to try.

• For parkours, Factory, Sitting Duck, Mystic Cavern, Sakura, and Playdoh Palace are good starting maps.
• For mazes, Twilight, Level Four, Warmth, Flower Garden, and Axolotl Haven are good starting maps.
• For puzzles, Worldler, enter, CrossWorlds, Sea of Redstone, and If Nothing Then Nothing are good starting maps.
• For adventures, Small Problems, Minr Camp, Booster's Tower, Sphinx, and Dark Pact are good starting maps.

Growing Familiar with the Server

Maps on the server are sorted by color categories to represent how difficult they are. The easiest maps are white, and the hardest are black. It's recommended to try maps a difficulty tier higher than ones you've beaten every so often to improve your skills.

As your familiarity increases with the server, there are some useful links to server-related sites you should know. They are:

• The Forums
• The Discord

There are also commands that allow you to play and talk with others in groups. This is done with the "/party" command. The party leader can run "/party create" to create a party, and then add others with "/party invite <username>". Other party commands are listed in this page, and these commands can also be seen by running "/party". To talk in the party channel, use "/chat setchannel party".

Some other useful commands to come across as you play are:

• /help, which gives you the most common commands.
• /help ranks, which gives you info about how Server Ranks work.
• /checkpoint, which tells you the current map you're playing.
• /map, which leads into several other sub-commands that are helpful.
  • /map join (map/player name) will send you to the map listed or to the map another player is currently in.
  • /map info (map) will give you information about a map, like its difficulty and release date.
  • /map list (completed/uncompleted) will list all maps you have or have not completed. This can be further sorted with filters like "difficulty = very easy" to list only very easy maps.

Once you're able to beat moderate/yellow difficulty maps, the goal is to get Blue Rank. Blue Rank requires the player to get 100 points and beat 5 moderate or harder maps.

Entering Hardcore

The next big goal is to beat the server's most famous challenge, Hardcore. Hardcore is a set of maps containing parkour, puzzles, mazes, and adventures of various difficulties that must be completed in a certain order (with branching paths, as seen here) to earn Green rank. To join Hardcore, however, you need to beat the FAQ Quiz. This might require heading to the Server Rules page. Once the quiz is completed, enter Hardcore by going to the Hardcore section of spawn.

While in the Hardcore challenge, "/checkpoint" will list both your FFA checkpoint and Hardcore checkpoint. To switch between them, use "/checkpoint return ffa" or "/checkpoint return hardcore". Hardcore checkpoints are much rarer than FFA checkpoints are, with the start of some maps not having any checkpoints at all, so be careful when switching checkpoints.

Once Hardcore has been completed, the player must submit a Green Application on the Forums to earn the Green rank.

Being a Greenie

Green ranked members have many more permissions than white and blue ranked members. The main feature Green players get is access to the creative worlds of Theta and Epsilon. Within these worlds, Greens are able to create maps to be placed in FFA. Before being put into FFA, however, a map must go through a review process. This process exists to prevent maps of low quality from entering FFA. Greens also get access to maps on Board, in Mount Minr, and more.

Once Green, there is no set path of progression. Many Greens choose to focus on building maps, while others are drawn more towards beating difficult maps or speedrunning to get Speedrun Score. Some players take this further still, beating difficult sets of maps with modifiers via challenges.
