New Player Guide

This guide is OUTDATED! Please follow the in-game tutorial as that's way better. Welcome to the Horizon's End Wiki! Read this guide because the learning curve on this server is God damn steep and you will be completely lost because Peter has not programmed a functioning tutorial yet. 

Resource pack (OPTIONAL)

 * Download the Official Resource Pack here
 * (You really shouldn't as the Unofficial Resource Pack is way better!)
 * You may have to unzip the .zip file and put it in your resource pack folder. If you don't know how to do this, you should really learn how. (Back in my day, we were deleting META-INF from minecraft.jar!)

Spawning In

 * Join the server at horizonsend.net.
 * If you do not spawn in this room, you might have to join the survival server by typing.
 * Type the commands  and  . You will need these items for later.
 * Head down the gray hall to meet the Ship Dealer.

Ship Dealer

 * Right click the Ship Dealer NPC to spawn a Starter Shuttle.
 * This costs 200 credits and has a cooldown of 1h30m. You have a starting balance of 3000 credits.

Video Tutorial
sBDYr8Goz98
 * This video by EloMilo is actually kind of based and covers the basics of ship flying pretty well. This video complements the written tutorial below.

Your New Ship

 * This is the Starter Shuttle. You are automatically placed in this ship, away from the spawn station.
 * Consider opening the Survival Dynmap to see your location in space.
 * You can hold your clock out to make yourself visible on the map. This also lets everyone else see where you are!
 * You will be located at Prometheus Station in the Asteri System. This is at the bottom right corner of the map.

Piloting Ships

 * You need to "detect" your ship before you can fly it.
 * Detection is the server's method of determining what blocks comprise a ship entity.
 * Left click the ship computer (jukebox) while holding a clock.
 * Left click the leftmost button in the GUI that appears.
 * The icon is a clock named "Re-detect".
 * In the future, make sure that your ship is not touching anything when redetecting. This can cause your ship to get stuck!
 * This wouldn't be much of a problem if you didn't have to ask a smelly mod like dj to get you unstuck.
 * You will get a message saying that your ship has been detected.
 * Right click the ship computer to pilot the ship.

Ship Controls

 * Your ship is now piloted. Your shields will be enabled, and you can now move the ship.

Shift Flying

 * While holding a clock, sneak (default SHIFT) to move the ship in the direction you are facing.
 * This is the slowest way to move your ship, but lets you move with precise movements.
 * You can move up and down by looking up and down, respectively.

Bad Turning

 * Turn your ship by left or right clicking the helm sign (to the left of the ship).
 * Left clicking turns your ship left, and right clicking turns your ship right.
 * If you do this, you are actually dumb. Look at the instructions below to learn the BETTER way of turning.

Better Turning

 * Alternatively, you can turn your ship by holding your clock and dropping (default Q) or switching item (default F).
 * Dropping turns your ship left, and switching item turns your ship right.
 * THIS METHOD OF TURNING IS SUPERIOR!!!

Cruising

 * Right click the cruise sign to start moving quickly. Wave goodbye to your friends!
 * Your ship will start accelerating to a maximum speed (determined by the construction of your ship).
 * You will cruise in the direction that you were facing when you right clicked the sign. This means that you can cruise diagonally.
 * This is the fastest way to move in normal space.
 * Left click the cruise sign to stop cruising. You will decelerate to a stop.
 * You can also use

Hyperspace Jumping

 * Your ship can jump into hyperspace. This is the fastest way to travel.
 * Each jump consumes two chetherite from each hopper in your ship's hyperdrive, located at the back of your ship.
 * You were given 32 chetherite from ; split the stack in half and place one stack in each hopper.
 * You may need to move away from the spawn station to get away from the WorldGuard protection.
 * While piloting a ship, type  or.
 * The map is very helpful if you want to choose a location to go to.
 * Your ship will enter hyperspace after a short warm-up period. Once your ship arrives at its destination, it will enter normal space.
 * Your ship may get caught by a planet's gravity well. Move away from the planet and try again if you did not arrive at your desired location.
 * Watch your chetherite; you only have enough for eight jumps! Don't think about doing  again as you can't use it for another 69 years!!!

Entering A Planet

 * Once you arrive at a planet, shift fly or cruise into the planet model to enter the planet.
 * You might not see the planet model at first; navigate with the map.
 * Find a place to settle down!
 * Once you find a place, you can leave your ship by right clicking the ship computer with a clock.

Make A Cryopod

 * A cryopod changes your respawn point. If you die, you will respawn at your last active cryopod.
 * Make one as soon as you settle down! (Click the link above)

Leaving A Planet

 * To leave a planet, pilot a ship and ascend until you reach the world height.

Make Or Join a Settlement

 * Settlements allow you to claim territory and collaborate with friends in a build-protected zone.
 * See the Settlements article for more information.

Join a Nation

 * Groups of settlements can collaborate together and work towards a higher cause in a nation.
 * See the Nations article for more information.

Cargo Trade

 * This is really ass, but it's the primary way of making money on this god-forsaken server.
 * See the Cargo Trading article for more information.

Pirate

 * Kill players for fun! This does mean that you will lose your noob protection and other players will be able to kill you.
 * Honestly, if you are based enough to kill anyone on this server you will be respected massively by Echelon.
