New players may be subjected to certain restrictions, including the use of certain game mechanics. Players earn trust gradually through active and healthy participation on the server and will be granted the necessary privileges as appropriate. ##########++++++++++---------- GAMEPLAY HINTS #####+++++----- Chat sounds are enabled by default. If you want to disable them, you can use "/szutil_chatsounds 0". See https://bit.ly/2X0Xtul for full documentation on this command. Custom skins are available for "established" players, i.e. players in good standing who have played for a number of days, established or joined a settlement, continue to play recently, etc. The format is the same as modern Minecraft's 64x64 dual layer skins, so you can use existing skins, editors, conversion tools, etc. Contact @Warr1024 with a PNG image or URL directly to PNG image. Changes may take some time to take effect. Admins may reject skin requests for any reason. Available "protection" mechanisms on this server are highly limited. This server runs the YCTIWY mod, and your inventory items remain in-world and exposed when you log out. To keep property more private, build farther away from spawn and don't leave your valuables out in the open. The effort required to clear a simple obstacle like a stone wall is generally higher than most thieves or irresponsible borrowers have proven willing to show. This world is extremely limited in size (though future expansion is possible). There is no death/respawn in NodeCore, so if you wander away from the spawn area, you'll need to find your own way back home. Look for in-game navigation features (debugging info should NOT be needed) and keep careful track of where places important to you are. If you stream on Twitch, you can have your Twitch chat bridged into the server, allowing you, your stream viewers, and players on the server to converse on-screen. Ask Warr1024 for details. ###############+++++++++++++++---------------
