Lonely server pve7
The lonely server guide to PvE7.
Introduction
This guide was written to introduce players to the sights of PvE Revision 7.
It is not meant for players new to Minecraft. It assumes you know the basic principles of the game.
Travel in PvE
PvE does not allow players to teleport, so all travel must happen via in-game means. This has resulted in the extensive development of transit networks, primarily consisting of roads, rails and nether portals.
Road
Roads link many places in PvE, and some are fairly scenic. PvE7 is 6k X 6k blocks, so road travel can be fairly time-consuming. Where available, speed potions are highly advisable, as is an ample supply of food.
Nether Portals
In PvE7 there is a central portal under spawn, as well as 4 cardinal portals, and two "secret" portals. The cardinal portals provide a fast way to travel towards the N,S,E and W edges of the map. The secret portals are located in the NE and SW of the map. Most of the portals are linked to the spawn portal by rail in the nether.
Rail
Getting out of Spawn
Spawn is located right in the center of the server, and is the location that new players first join the server. Spawn manor itself is well worth a visit, but this section of the guide is focused on helping you get out of spawn and around the rest of the server.
Your first priority should be to get some food. Spawn has several public farms. Head straight out the front entrance (facing South). On the right there is a public wheat farm, and a melon farm above that. Harvest plenty of food for your journey, and remember to replant.
The next item you need is a minecart. PvE players are usually generous, but most do not appreciate players begging for minecarts. Ore quantities have been increased from default on PvE7, so obtaining iron is not difficult. However, the area around spawn is densely populated. It is much easier to find areas to mine if you use the nether portals to head away from spawn. The nether is well traveled, so roads there are safe even for newly-started players. Head downstairs from the middle of spawn, and then walk across the map room. There is a waterfall here, walk through it - the spawn portal is hidden behind it. After arriving in the nether, turn around and follow the north road. It is a short walk from here to the North portal, which exits in Rack City. Rack City is also worth visiting, but our focus for now is obtaining iron for a minecart.
From the Rack City portal, head due West along the road, with the wheat farm on your right and the rail station on your left. Exit rack city, the area ahead of you is mostly unclaimed.
