First, feel free to ask me questions. I seem to have become the de facto Minecraft expert here. First, ALWAYS keep the wiki open. It has all the info you need to cross reference.

There are also tons of Let's Play videos so you can see what it's all about. I recommend trying single player out for a bit to get used to everything. When you're ready for Multiplayer, PM me and I can whitelist you on my servers. You can see my community here: http:/
