Progression

(If you want a guide about how to start off in the mod in more details, see "getting started".) This guide will only touch on the part of the game the current progression encompasses.

## Early Game

### Beginning/Pre-boss

The player might start with either a bonus chest or nothing. In either case, they will spawn near the spawn house. The player should do what any other player would do in a regular Minecraft playthrough with a few extra things to keep in mind.

The player should get wood, then stone and then iron or jump straight to dungeon diving + elemental ore gathering from the stone stage. It is highly recommended that the player builds a base as it makes resource gathering easier and progression throughout the rest of the mod much easier.

### Post-mining/gathering

After having gathered basic materials and set up near their desired location, the player should start mapping out their surroundings. Noting where the player can find rivers or particular biomes like plains, oceans , mountains, etc... is paramount to progressing through the rest of the mod. The player can find very useful resources that only spawn in each of these biomes such as specific elemental ores, specific fish, specific modded biomes, structures or monsters. Gathering materials will be very useful later on and will allow access to new mechanics like

* Relics
* Fishing
* Weapon abilities/Elemental gathering

The player might try exploring one of these new biomes and are in fact encouraged to do so. However, these modded biomes often prove themselves hard to explore without dying. As such, it is a very "high risk, high reward" sort of option that the player is offered.

From this point onwards, the player can also start fishing to gather fish and crates if they wish to do so.

### Early progression

* After having mined some of the elemental ores and built themselves a set of iron tools and armor, the player should try fighting :
	+ A Sword Temple dungeon. These dungeons provide the player an easy challenge to strengthen themselves and become familiar with the mod. Having a good pickaxe is very useful to break the grey crystals that protect the spawners. If the player is lucky, they will find a secret floor on that dungeon. This is the next recommended step. Fighting the secret floor is hard, but the player can find some very powerful item drops. Killing the mini-bosses provides good items, but the mini-bosses might prove pretty challenging.
	+ OR
	+ A Statue Protector. This mini-boss does not give very many good items, but it drops numerous emeralds which allows the player to get richer faster to obtain expensive items.
	+ At this point, the player should explore a modded biome. Note that most biomes have two "depths" to them or levels. Usually, the part closest to the surface is the easiest to navigate. Diving any deeper might result in the player encounter difficult monsters to defeat or difficult environments which require preparation.
* When the player feels prepared enough, they should fight the Obleck Lord. This boss is summoned by using an Obleck Egg. This egg is made with obleck jelly, mind obleck jelly and slime. It is preferable to have a flat arena to fight the boss with some walls around or a shield. In fact, *a village* would be perfect for this. The player can dodge projectiles from the boss and his minions this way. The laser remains unavoidable however.

## Mid to end-game

### Post-Obleck Lord

* The player could either try to find a memory heart underground if they haven't already. These allow the player to teleport between special blocks called "Memorials"
* Or they could try diving deeper inside one of the modded biomes.
* Enter the nether and find a fortress and a bastion. Both contain useful and powerful relics.
* Finally, the player should try finding a Nether Star biome. The player can find a lot of resources in this biome and a special furnace that produces special resources. Even though this biome is very deadly, reaching the top of a nether star can be very rewarding as it allows the player to pass through the nether roof and gain access to a large flat terrain plus possible biomes in the future.

That's it for now. At this point, the player enters the regular minecraft progression route. They have to beat the wither and the ender dragon as usual. Elementure is a mod which updates and changes every update. As such, the best thing the player can do at this point is explore and prepare to the best of their ability for the next updates.
