====== Start here: ======

This is an in-depth guide to help brand new players get established on KoalaServers. It covers mostly basic information about commands and worlds, though could be helpful for established players wanting to learn more about a particular subject.

====== What game modes are there? ======

There are three game modes; Economy server, Vanilla server and Creative server

In Survival, you can claim land, set a home, build your own shop, and create a warp for players to come buy items from your chest shop. The world is very rarely reset. We also have a Resource World that is set to always in day, has no weather and is purely for collecting resources to bring back to Survival which is reset monthly.

In Creative, you can choose from flat-world plots or survival plots, where you can claim your own plot and invite others to build with you.

====== What are the ranks and how do I get ranks? ======

There are two categories of ranks: store ranks and vote ranks. You buy store ranks, but you get vote ranks by voting for KoalaServers on websites that it is on, like MinecraftServers.org.

To vote, use the /vote command. Then in the chat, 6 links will appear. Click each of those to open the sites to vote. You can find the vote leaderboard and all links here: KoalaServers Vote

Bedrock players! Make sure to put a period in front of your name so the site knows that you play bedrock!

====== What is the economy? ======

We use an in-game currency $ dollars and these are some of the ways you can make money on the economy server:

/jobs - Perform various tasks to earn money. (You can hold more jobs as you rank up!)
/Fish - Catch custom fish, use custom bait and sell them for decent profit.
/Daily - Daily Tasks, perform various tasks to earn money.
/AH - Auction House, list and sell items to players.
