Getting Started

(This article is about how players should start their adventure when playing the mod. If you need help installing the mod, see Installation.)

Elementure starts off feeling like an almost normal minecraft world except a few minor things. As the player keeps on playing, things quickly start seeming very different or unclear. As such, a guide to help starting off progression through the mod helps greatly. Referring to the wiki also helps, but most things can typically be figured out by playing the mod.

## First off

The first thing about every playthrough in Elementure is that the player starts in an old, decrepit house. The player should not stay in this house and simply move away with what they can gather since the house is difficult to build around of and none of the "furniture" in it is functionnal.

## Moving out

The player should not move too far away from the house as having it near is always useful. Finding a good spot between multiple biomes, near (as in within 400~500 blocks depending on the biome) the base house and close to one of the new biomes would be optimal. If you see a village, maybe moving farther out to live near it could be a good idea.

Loot what you can on the way, but don't dive into any dungeons, jump into one of the new biomes or go underground to encounter an underground biome yet as they can pose a significant challenge. Dungeons restrict the players ability to mine with their fist and place blocks. Finding an underground biome could also quickly kill the player. Finally, the new biomes typically feature new and powerful mobs that have more health and deal more damage.

Take what berries you can harvest as well on the way.

## Setting up

The player should then do what they would normally do in minecraft. Having a base is not paramount, but highly recommended.

Food shouldn't be too hard to find. The player can find berries which helps them stay fed and generate food in the future.

Berries aren't as good as meat or bread, but they can be farmed pretty well. Berry bushes typically take ten or twelve minutes to grow, grow anywhere, don't need water and drop three berries when right-clicked. Four berries are necessary to make a new bush. As such, the player might starve a little bit in the beginning if they only farm berries, but the farm should grow pretty fast and be able to somewhat sustain a player later on.

However, berries are still poor food, so making a farm for other kinds of foods should be a priority. You SHOULD NOT get rid of your berries as making Berry Jam is still a possibility. Berry Jam is an amazing source of food and it only gets better when mixed with honey to make Honey Berry Jam.

## First ressources and important items

When mining, the player might find these weird, colored ores. Depending on the biome, it can either be Ferzium, Merthium, Noobium, Vamite or the more exotic Lignite, Dustflux and Neon. Once these ores are mined, new monsters called Oblecks will starts spawning. This is the first step towards progressing in the mod. Getting a full set of these colored ores can prove challenging. As such, getting a little bit of iron armor is recommended since the player will have to fight a boss to get more.

The player might find a special sword which can gather "essence." These weapons are strong, but they are not useful to the player yet. However, they still make good weapons. At this point, you are presented with a choice. Keep the weapon for taking on a stronger dungeon, or use it immediately since half of its abilities are not available to the player yet. These are the same weapons which can be made with the new colored ores. Getting a full set made of one of these ores is not exactly recommended since the first boss makes accessing them easier, but they are still strong and get stronger when a full set is made.

An important note is that Noobium is used to make the new fishing rod which gives access to the new fishing mechanics. Saving it to start fishing early is great way to start the progression as well.

## The Next Steps

The player should now try fully taking down a dungeon, do more dungeons or fight the new boss, the Obleck Lord. Then, they should start making their way through the progression!
