hints for new players.

1. Collect meat at spawn killing cows
2. check community free chest at trading post for supplies
3. use ender chests at spawn to protect your stuff.
4. random tp during the day and collect wood and food

5 random tp and collect iron

1. after well supplied random tp out and walk or use boats to get far out, dig a hole and hide at night. running wastes energy
2. use nether roof if you buy vip, highly recommended
3. ask for help in chat if you need it. people will donate free stuff sometimes or give advice or crafting recipes.
4. when travelling randomly set home to keep your advancement in case of death.
5. keep cord up, f3 , if you die before you respawn write down cords so you can return and retrieve your stuff.

Hope this helps and good luck.
