RLCraft Dregora: Day 1: You're probably going to die a lot. It's fine. Have fun with it!
This guide isn't "optimal" but it is roughly "as intended" with minimal fluff and minimal spoilers.
You need a bed to sleep in to pass the night and set a spawnpoint. (Just right clicking it won't set your spawn.)
This guide is for Sin, a real rat and a real human being and a real hero. (That also means I assume you have some basic minecraft knowledge.)
Eventually you'll spawn somewhere that won't instantly kill you!
Punch gravel to acquire flint. Pick up gravel by crouching or right clicking.
You can punch the same gravel block until it learns its lesson and gives you flint! Break it, pick it up, drop it, repeat.
Small thing, but if you have a bunch of gravel, pressing F to swap your gravel to the other hand can make it faster to punch.
Just make sure you have at least one in your hand or it'll swap back.
Flint!
Search for and acquire rocks so we can smash the flint!
We've achieved 4 rocks and can make a stone!
Right click the stone to get your shards!
You can't punch trees with those wack ass hands!
You can punch leaves though!
If you punch enough leaves, you get a stick! Arrange one shard and stick like this to get a flint knife.
Stab grass and other local flora with your knife to acquire fibers! (Drop rate is not 100%)
Use the fibers to make string! (3:1)
More plant stabbing!
Use string to make wool!
You need wood to make a crafting table to make a bed! Make a flint hatchet like this.
Use your hatchet to chop down a tree! If you break the base with it, the whole thing falls.
It'll leave behind logs and sticks relative to the size of the tree and use up durability based on how much you got!
Note:If you break it while crouching, it falls toward you instead of away. You will die if a tree falls on you!
Place a log and right click it with your hatchet to split it and get planks! Pressing F to swap the logs to your offhand can make this faster, just like with the gravel.
If you do this and hold down right click, you can go through a lot of logs fairly quickly! Flint tools are super fragile though.
Use planks to make a crafting table!
Use planks to make a bed in the crafting table!
When night falls, you can use your bed to set your spawn point!
Don't break your bed after this; you'll lose your set spawnpoint until the next time you sleep in it.
Not the worst thing right now, but getting thrown somewhere random after many hours of gameplay is pretty ass. (It's also funny though, this happened to me!)
Extra tip: You can right click while crouching with an open hand to grab single tile entities.
Including...
Animals!
That's all for now!
Discovering things and doing your own research is part of the fun of the game, but there's so much to learn!
Don't be afraid to die in the name of knowledge!
You know where to find me if you have questions. Love you bro, good luck!
PS: Day/night cycles are ten minutes.
If you don't have a bed by nightfall, dig yourself a safehole with a 1 block height gap for a little bit of light so you don't get diddled by the guy that spawns in pure darkness.
Occupy your self for 10 minutes and then get back to it when the coast is clear! (Hopefully it does clear up...it might not. Good luck either way.)
