Guide To The Spawn in the OG-SMP

Disclaimer: this is  NOT  a guide to what spawn is, there are articles for that. This is a guide to what you should do in spawn when you are a normal player who wants to chill.

A complete guide to the spawn in the OG-SMP, and how to safe the safest you can from the spawnkillers that roam around. (By ItzAhreny btw :D)

also check the trivia for extra info.

(Side note: Getting familiar with regular members and possibly joining a group is probably the best way to play as the smp is more fun with friends)

AS A NEW PLAYER

So, you just logged in the OG-SMP for the first time. Your arrival is going to be announced to everyone by the server itself. It's gonna say "Welcome to OG-SMP!". So all the spawnkillers know you are here. The first to do is look around: to the left of you is a small town-looking area a few dozens of blocks away. That's the marketplace: DONT GO THERE YET. The spawnkillers roam around the path to kill unsuspecting players. The safest option is to go to the other three cardinal directions other than left. There will be a pvp-enabled but but non-buildable area outside of the red line. That's where the spawnkillers hang out. Run as fast you can to the mountains. You will see highways outside the pvp zone going to the world border which is at 25k at either direction. Use the highways to go far out. WALK. Don't run, the closer you are to x=0 z=200 the less animals spawn. Walk for at least 1k blocks and then get your resources, wood, stone, food, the usual. If you want to set up a camp or base of any sort, go to any random coordinates far from spawn, the highways and the world border. They are the most travelled areas. Make a temporary base because the ones with eytras will find your base as quick as you can say 'ragamuffin'. And you will get stolen from or/and griefed eventually. Now go and get set up.

(Note from dogsteve: get an ender chest as quickly as possible.)

AS A MID-GAME PLAYER

After a few days, you've got your stuff settled. Iron armor, plenty of food, farms, and if you are lucky, diamond stuff. Now you can sell items as per your wish to earn money. /daily will also help you. If you want to learn about what to sell and for what price, go to Spawn Shop. If you have, good. But if you want to buy stuff from the market, take some precautions. Don't wear your armor. If you wear armor, your chances of dying will increase. People like to bully other people they deem inferior. As a way to counter this, take only some food and leave the rest in a chest(or an ender chest if you to take extra steps). Then you can go to the market and buy items as you please. An extra tip is to go the end at least once, if not for the end cities, then for the ender pearls and the exp. Trust me, they will prove very useful.

AS AN END-GAME PLAYER

You have been playing on the server for many weeks, if not months and got yourself some enchanted netherite or diamond gear. I congratulate you for the effort. Playing all this time must have made you experienced on the ways of the server. This is going to be very useful. Now you can go to the market from spawn and back. This time, some spawnkillers won't harass you as much. Enchanted diamond or netherite is seen as a sign of hard work, and your determination being strong. They will might leave you alone as they consider you their equal. If you get into a sticky situation and not exactly experienced in pvp, have ender pearls, enchanted golden apples and potions at hand. They will prove to be useful.

(Note: not every spawnkiller will leave you alone in fact having more op gear might make you more of a target.)

TRIVIA

All the players at spawn aren't bad, some are good players Honourable mentions are: IamMiku, snowcoal, GoldenCobra, CrazyCCrafter, and Chromatic and Chaotic_Prism(different people btw)( (from personal experience, may be a little biased). If you are lucky, you might get some food and early game loot from the good guys. (also a big shoutout to all the good players out there :D)

To stay safe, I'll give you a heads-up of some of the spawnkillers: sammax21, Killer_Gamer_3, BedwarsOG, GonnaEatPie (again, from personal experience and may be biased). STAY. AWAY. FROM. THEM. Please.

And last but not least, DM ItzAhreny if you want changes to be done in this page. Thank you :D
