Vanilla's Guide to Constantiam for R-words, Bundles of Sticks, and Weebs

Here you go, fellas, a guide with everything you need to know to play Orthodox Minecraft with us. It's a pretty step-by-step guide in simplistic terms, so if you can't figure something out, you probably should just do a quick google search of it. This guide is for the questions you won't find as easily on Google.

Before you Play
Constantiam.net (the server we are based on) runs on Minecraft version 1.12.2. This is because 1.13 still lacks many plugins that are essential for the server to run. If you are not playing on 1.12.2, you WILL get this error message when trying to join the server:

Fear not, the fix is quite easy. Simply go to your Minecraft launcher, and select Launch Options

 Enable Advanced Settings and Add a new Profile. Set the version of the profile to 1.12.2.



From here, go back to the NEWS tab, select the profile you just created, and you should be good to go.

Your First Login (Server ID is "constantiam.net"
Welcome to Constantiam. prepare to get DESTROYED by logic, facts, hunger, hordes of Veteran players, Packs of withers, and any other number of things the server will throw at you. your first goal is to escape spawn.

Spawn
"Spawn" on Constantiam consists of a 2,000x2,000 square at the geographical center of the server. The land has been so rekt after 3 years of 20,000 players destorying it that it will take you awhile to escape. Since there is little to no wood, food, chests, weapons, or any other jazz in spawn, your best bet on escaping spawn is by either walking the treacherous terrain or stumbling across a nether portal someone hasn't destroyed yet.

"Why is spawn like this?" Veteran players don't like "rushers," or new players like you who come onto the server and treat it like it's nothing. New players have a history of destorying old bases, lagging the server, or showing a general disrespect to the older players who feel they have earned their place on the server through the grind. As a result, they've destroyed spawn to a point where it is improbable that you will escape, complete with withers, lavacasts, and a lava wall surrounding the perimeter. Because of this, you will likely only escape spawn through a nether portal, as your odds of simply walking out of spawn are astronomically low.
"Uh, but uh, Vanilla, I don't know where to find a nether portal, what do I do?"
You're on your own, kiddo. Portals are constantly made and destroyed at spawn, so there's no map or coordinates to a definite portal. your best bet on finding one is by making it 500 blocks away from X0,Z0 in any given direction. If you can see grass, you're getting warmer.
"But uh I can't do that that takes too long"   Leave and don't come back

NOW, that being said, there IS a map of Spawn from October that is generally reliable for navigating the wasteland, but it won't help you find portals. Here ya go: https://i.imgur.com/5vwnWuq.jpg
