First Steps

This assumes you've read our Getting Started Guide. If you haven't. . . please do.

The server address is: server.mcoriginations.com

So just type that into the Multiplayer field and click 'Join'. The server has a limited number of slots at this point so there may be a chance that the server is full. However, you can purchase a VIP Slot for $10 a month, giving you a guaranteed slot in the server at all times. Details can be found on the forum.

When you first join the server, the Spout client will begin to download the required files for playing. Depending on your internet connection, this can take up to a minute or more. After the files are downloaded, you can start your journey! The first thing you'll want to do is follow our Synching guide. This will get your charecter all set up.

We're assuming you know how to play Minecraft, but if you don't, they have their own Wiki here. It covers everything you need to know about the basic game and much more.

If you visit our Guides page, you'll find links to every page written by an Admin or a user designed to orient you with MCON. While there are several pages, there are some basics that are required for your understanding of the gameplay. These are:

Rules

Synching

Nations

Economy

Power

Diplomacy


 * Note: These are all available from the Top Navigation Bar, under the 'Getting Started' Section.

There are also several Guides that cover more advanced or specific topics. These guides go more in-depth in terms of gameplay. They're worth reading as they cover some more important topics, but you can easily hop on the server and play around without feeling like you're missing too much. The best approach is to read the essentials above, then browse the more advanced subjects on the Guide pages for something that interests you.
