-How can I get started?
Head into Tildetown to pick up free supplies. From spawn, take the bridge over the river. You can get a boat at the end of the bridge and explore the whole area from the water. If you continue on foot along the birch wood path, you will reach a sign and a choice between the mountain path or the river path:If you take the mountain path up, you will pass by the transit stop for the Red Line, which takes you to the transit hub at the center of town.
If you take the river path, you will pass by a white bridge leading to the Hall of Heroes.Both paths will lead you into the center of town and the message board. Here you can check for free supplies in the chests. There is also a book that lists most of the resource farms on the server.
Also in Tildetown: A villager trading hall, a large community storage automatic sorter, a community super smelter, Iron farm, fireworks farm, and much more.
-What if I don’t want to go into town?
Opposite the path heading into Tildetown is another path which will take you out of the spawn valley to the north sea. There are several builds along this path, ending at the flower hill developed by @Felicity .-Where can I build?
Anywhere in the world is free for you to build on, as long as someone else has not claimed the spot first with their own build. There are some spots near the center of town that are still open to development.-Is there a fast way to get around?
There is a system of portals connected on the Nether roof. Look for the tall and skinny stone tower near the center of Tildetown which will take you there.-Anything cool to look at?
There are too many builds on the server to list them all, so I will pick a few of my favorites at random for this post:Noox’ Crashpad is the only generated building left and thus the oldest building in Tildetown.
The Southcliff Plaza was built within the first 24 hours of the world, although I am not sure who built it. Most of the road system in the area started from this point.
The bridges connecting the spawn valley cliffs are amazing, built by @IsildursBane who also built the cathedral in this image. In this second view, you can see a white camping tent, also a build from the early days of the world, by @Mendanbar .
On top of the southcliff mountain sits a massive boat built by @Positive and others. There is a water elevator to get to it from the earlier mentioned plaza.
Farther out of town, you can find a hot air balloon with a whole house aboard! This is another @Noox creation.
There is an evil tower that looks to be corrupting the surrounding area. This is @ColdheartsTalon build, and includes a lot of hidden surprises within.
The sprawling estate built by @eyechoirs has a lot to see and do.
Back in Tildetown, make sure to stop by the Museum of Natural History. I read @joeglen is looking for donations if you find anything interesting!
-Questions about mods
Minecraft has never been easier to mod. Grab a 3rd party launcher like GD Launcher or Prism Launcher and download mods directly into the launcher. Make sure to use the ‘Fabric’ version of game/mods.This older modlist has some nice features and performance improvements.My mod list is a little larger, as I have included shaders and the Distant Horizons mod
I highly recommend the Stay True texture pack and if you use shaders then I recommend Complementary Reimaged.

The plan is to continue the line all the way to the PVP arena, although I make no guarantees on when it will be completed. Feel free to pitch in if you want to decorate or add onto the line!

The line would start underground as it leaves TildeTown. I've drawn a map of the planned path. It would go through the crater near the center of town, and I was imagining a green floating bridge that matched the materials of what is already currently there.
The line would emerge from underground once it is past the moss farm and run with the path heading south to Godzilla and the PVP arena.

I'll finish up the decoration for that connection later on.
If you have a suggested line color I will update the signs and banner in the transit hub as well.

Bront Link ParentIs there already a plan to connect the rail lines on the arch bridge near spawn? It runs right next to my house. I'd love to get involved on this line especially if nobody is working on it.Is there already a plan to connect the rail lines on the arch bridge near spawn? It runs right next to my house.

I want to use some client side mods to make the experience more enjoyable when starting in the new tildes world.
Have you made any updates to your mod list since that last post? For example, I went to download Builder's QOL shaders and the project seems abandoned.

CCleaner is an old product, Windows built-in tools handle everything you need.
I honestly did not know people still use KLite Codec Pack in 2023. Its like having a headache so you take every pill in the medicine cabinet. Just install the codecs you need OR just use VLC player.

If you are taking a train into Venice, make sure you have the train out booked ahead of time. Nothing worse then rocking up to the train station to leave and there are no seats left.
There are hidden fees everywhere so be on the lookout. Some are malicious and others are part of the culture. For example you will pay more to sit at a resturant versus if you are willing to stand.
Do not forget to validate your train or boat tickets at the station or dock. If you forget and get caught it can lead to a very hefty fine.
Italy attracts a lot of tourists, and by extension a lot of scammers. Do not be afraid to say no or be rude if they are pushy. Anyone who approaches you and speaks good English is generally up to no good. Especially common around any tourist hotspot.
Most of the gelato shops are fake. Do a little research beforehand on how to spot real gelato.
On that note, avoid any food you can get at home. You're in Italy, don't order a hamburger it will be terrible.
If you go to Pompeii and you don't visit the Villa of Mysteries, then you missed the best part.
Wake up early one day in Venice and get out to see the city before everyone else wakes up and the streets are filled with tourists.

The first two floors were especially designed for an immersive experience.
Sadly, it closed in 2019. You can find some video tours online if you are interested in what it looked like.

The reality is the people posting are rarely truthful about the extent of what led to them being banned. I guarantee its more than just a few swear words.

I just checked out the haunted house @GravySleeve , it looks great! I love the special effects and the maze in the back.
