THIS GUIDE IS VERY WIP! TAKE EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!
Sorry about there being no pictures, go to the AoA wiki for that!
NEI is your best friend! If there is no recipe, its a 90% chance a mob will drop it!
OPTIONAL SETUP!
- Make your world with Cheats enabled! This is useful not only for if a bug heppens (ex. recipe conflict), but all the below stuff in this section needs it!
- Already made your world without reading the above? No problem! Open your world to LAN, and enable Cheats that way!
- Keep Your Inventory: Enabling KeepInventory is highly suggested, even by the mod author. However, it is a little different in this modpack, or any modpack with AoA installed!
- 1. Make sure cheats are enabled! Don't say there is a bug with this part of the guide if they aren't!
- 2. Type in chat: /gamerule keepAllInventory true
- 3. Make sure you got the response, "Gamerule Updated!" or something simmilar.
- 4. Feel free to die, you won't lose your inventory, or XP.
- Death Counter: Playing Multiplayer with some friends, or just want to keep track of how many times you die? Its rather simple, just follow these instructions!
- 1. Make sure cheats are enabled! Don't say there is a bug in this part of the guide if they aren't!
- 2. Type in chat: /scoreboard objectives add deaths deathCount Deaths
- 3. Type in chat: /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar deaths
- 4. Die, and it should appear on the right of your screen!
- Stop Creepers from breaking blocks: They still hurt though.
- 1. Make sure cheats are enabled! Don't say there is a bug in this part of the guide if they aren't!
- 2. Type in chat: /gamerule mobGriefing false
- 3. Now Creepers (and other mobs) won't break blocks! As well as that, Endermen won't pick up blocks.
BEGINNING
- Make sure you spawn inside or near a forest. If you spawn in a Savannah, remake the world. Svannahs have mobs that you literally cannot hit. At all.
- Punch wood, and get a lot before night falls! This is even more important in Advent of Memory, because of all the new, dangerous mobs.
- Do NOT make a wooden sword, unless you are absolutely deperate. I.E. a 250 health mob is chasing you. Make a stone, or better yet, iron one.
- Get iron armor as fast as possible. If you can kill a few Mother Voidwalkers and gest some Void armor, wear that instead.
- Try to get diamonds as soon as possible. You need a diamond pickaxe to even attempt to mine the AoA ores.
- Caves are your best bet to getting better gear, as they contain both Mother Voidwalkers, and are the easiest way to find AoA ores.
- Upgrade to a Rosite, Void, or Sapphire sword as soon as possible. They are the easiest higher-damage swords to get.
- Get 8 Amethyst Ingots and a Diamond to make an Ancient Teleporter Blueprint, and try to find some Realmstones.
- The Nether isn't really nessesary, unless you have a couple Pets that eat Nether Quartz, so don't go there, unless absolutely nessesary.
- Have fun, and explore the modpack!
