Starting out in the modpack will not be much unlike a regular minecraft world, except for the fact that you start in a house with a lot of good supplies!
The Starter Kit includes rails, TNT, a spyglass, tools, and a small amount of armor and food to get you ready for immediate exploration! Staying in the Starter House might sound like a good idea, but it's much more exciting to seek out structures and loot early-game, especially with the Starter Kit, so that's what this guide will be covering.
Don't attack random animals!
This is a really easy way to die early game, as some unsuspecting animals like Boars will turn hostile if you attack them.
If you spawn near the coast, it is never a bad idea to craft a boat and go sailing into the great unknown! If not, you can always travel by land to find your first structure.
In this tutorial, we first find a village in the Pine Forest Biome. The Pine Forest is a good biome for building due to the very sturdy wood and are a good source of rooted dirt, found underwater in this biome. Pine Leaves are also dense enough to collect without shears.
This village is particularly strategic since it generated in one of the many lakes found in the Pine Forest. Staying in a village is reccomended in early-mid game because they are the easiest place to create Sorcerer Villagers.
There's not much more to write in a specific guide after the first day. However, there are plenty of features that will soon be documented in the wiki, so be sure to check that out for updates!
