When you first join the server, it might be a bit confusing, as there are a lot that is different from vanilla. This wiki page is meant to introduce some of the main concepts and plugins used on the server.
Getting resources
One of the most asked questions is "How do i get resources?". The answer to that is by going to the wild world. There are 2 worlds in the server. One of them is the city, you are most likely there if you are reading this, and the other one is the wild. You can get to the wild using the /wild command. In the wild world you can do anything, build bases, farms, harvest resources. But be careful, everyone has access to build and destroy there, so your builds will not be protected. Whenever you feel like you are done there, return to the city using /spawn, but don't forget to set a home to be able to return with the /sethome command.
Earning money
Now that you have resources, you probably want to earn some of that sweet cash. There are 2 main ways of doing this, player to player transactions, and chestshops. Player to player transactions are pretty straight forward, you both have to be online, meet, and then do the exchange of money and resources like that.
However, you cant do that while you are offline. Chestshops allow you to sell, and buy items while you are offline. They are a bit more complicated so they have a dedicated wiki page.
