I wanted to share my beginners user guide since the new forum is up and running. These are a lot of things I've learned over the past year I've been on HomeTown MineCraft. This is a great server with lots of great people and always improving. I'm hoping we get enough responses on this that we can request the HomeTown wise elders to add a new section under the Forums for a 'HomeTown wiki' that we can expand over time.


HomeTown Beginner UserGuide

• • • HomeTown security (how to protect your creations and ask for grief assistance.)

    • Lessons learned
      • If your wrist is getting tired and hurts because of using the default commands to move (w=forward, s=backwards, a=move left, d=move right), either stop playing (wrong answer J) get a good wrist support and keyboard and look at buying a new mouse that you can configure for certain actions. I personally have a razor mouse ($70 on amazon, great Christmas gift, ask Santa for next year!) with 12 different buttons including the scroll button can left and right click.

This seems pretty Useful!! I like it! :3

[Arayvek]

Love the user guide, Aron. Guardian is now enforcer though. Maybe put cool warps in sections like towns, shops, cool stuff, farms, etc

[Geckorian]

useful tips and info, thanks

[aron23]

Thanks, I can update it to enforcer. Great idea about the warps. Who do we need to talk to, to get a wiki added. Would that be frost himself?

[Brockist]

Can you add ./warp Cambridge and /warp CambridgeCityCentre?

[JoBot2014]

Awesome guide! I am sure it will be useful for new members

[aron23]

Thanks Brockist, I will make sure to add it once the official wiki gets created, thanks for your contributions.

Great info Aron and thanks for putting this together! Info on the rank perks could be helpful, I've been with the server for a while and never knew what perks were available to me
