RULES

You start the game in a 512x512x128 area designated as the crash site. This is the first of several areas that were designed specifically for survival play. Most resources can be found here.

The crash site is unique in that it is the only area where the player is encouraged to explore the snowy surface. The borders of the crash site are marked with red wool. It is suggested that you do not go beyond these borders. There's nothing special beyond them and if you were to stray too far you might find areas ment to be found later in the game. Ultimately, the way to the next zone will be found underground.

Except for the crash zone, you will never need to place or break blocks to advance through from one place to another. If you want to play by the rules, never break 'man made' blocks, (cobblestone, wood planks, iron blocks, ect.) or other blocks (smoothstone, wood, etc.) that are incorporated into man made structures.

There are paths which will be blocked, or unknown. The clues are found in the dialogue. Dialogue is presented through 37 Storyline signs. They read:

++++++++
Please read
Storyline #
++++++++

Your main goal is to find these signs and use the information given to progress through the map. Some of these signs refer to side adventures, and some refer to the main storyline. Signs are not normally found outside, and when they are, they are placed in obvious locations. Most signs will be found inside buildings, so the player is encouraged to explore those settings throughly. When you have found sign 37 you have won the game.
