Hello there! If you are here you might be new to ORE However, if so, this is the place where you understand everything.
This guide is mainly made for new players, but everyone can read it.
What are we doing?
We are a mainly redstone server, we are separated to 4 servers:
School: The server where students "live", learn and build.
Build: Successful students, pass a trial to become Builders, then they can start their own bigger plot at the Build Server
Survival: Builders, are allowed to join Survival.
Skyblock: A modded Skyblock server, which is currently down.
So in School, we teach and welcome new players till they are ready to pass the trial, then they need to post an application for build server and then wait for a staff member to accept it and trial them. But before all of this, you need to get started!
First of all, you need to apply to a Student as you are now a Visitor.
But, before you apply, here are some important stuff:
To list the rules type /kit rules.
You can ask whatever question you want, in whatever topic, there will always be someone to answer it (google, or us).
Ranks
So, ranks, we have first of all the Visitor rank:
Prefix: [Visitor]
Permissions: Not allowed to interact with anything (mobs, blocks, levers etc.), only /warp, /kit, /help, /gm & /tp.
Then, after you apply (More info at Applying) you are a Student:
Prefix: [Student]
Permissions: Visitor + Create Plots, Interact with Everything.
Then, after you learn for a while, you are ready to be trialed, then you apply to Builder (More info at Applying) and become a builder. (Also, the trial is about Adders, logic gates, 2's Comp and more, so it is basically a test where the staff member asks you to build, and explain stuff).:
Prefix: [Builder]
Permissions: Student + Access to plot, interact in Build + WorldEdit.
You can also apply to a teacher, if you want a really hard work and effort, but you must be a builder for that.
Prefix: [Teacher]
Permissions: Builder + Build anywhere.
Moderator (aka Mod), you are being voted in the elections, so you need to show really good effort, again you must be a builder to become a mod.
Prefix: [Mod]
Permissions: Teacher + Ban, Kick, Vanish, Warp (others), Plot Commands anywhere, mute.
And Finally, Admin, when the server needs an admin they pick up a Mod in elections
Prefix: [Admin]
Permissions: Everything
So, now after we know the ranks, there is only one little problem. How do we get them!?!?
Applying
So, to get a rank (starting with Student) all you need to do is this:
Type /motd to get more info.
Click here.
Read the rules here.
Create an account (you must to do it, or else you can't post an application) here.
Copy the format that can be found here (The code font, looks like Minecraft Name: etc. Copy it all).
Create an application here (after signed in).
Wait for a staff member to check it (recommended to announce it whenever a staff member comes on).
Now, if you think you are good enough to pass without learning or already learnt enough, here are the instructions for the Builder Application:
Type /motd to get more info.
Click here.
Read the rules here.
Create an account, if you havn't yet (you must to do it, or else you can't post an application) here.
Copy the format that can be found here (The code font, looks like Minecraft Name: etc. Copy it all).
Create an application here (after signed in).
Wait for a staff member to check it (recommended to announce it whenever a staff member comes on).
Note: You must have experience in Redstone Computing to be a builder.
And at last, you might have seen some players typing ,list other weird stuff in chat. This is called IRC, basically there are bots that are waiting for such a text (,list or something like this) and then are PMing the output to the player that sent the input.
IRC
IRC, or Internet Relay Chat is a Chatting Service which can include bots in it. The bots are (most of the times) harmless and made for fun or comfort.
An example for a bot in Bottery, we have 4 servers that are magically connected together, how? IRC Bots! So let's take this bot, that is called Bottery, if we will write ,list it will PM us all the players that are on each of the 4 servers.
How do we make it? we program those bots and then test them in ORE! They are pretty cool, also with IRC you can chat in ORE with your phone!
IRC is a pretty handy tool and is helping a lot to ORE, it is completely harmless and doesn't acquire any program to be installed by the user.
FAQ
Question:
Quote:How much time would it take for a staff member to check my application?
Answer:
Quote:Most of the times, there are staff members almost always, it will maximum take 3 days, if you're lucky enough it will be instant!
Question:
Quote:Can I build/teach/learn anything that is not Redstone in this server?
Answer:
Quote:Of course! You are free to teach anything you want as long as you know you teach it right, and learn as long as you trust your teacher. You can build whatever you want as long as it is not an abusive content or a lag machine.
Question:
Quote:Where can I discuss stuff?
Answer:
Quote:We have Discord, it's a free online chatting app (can be installed as well) we can invite you to our channel where you can discuss whatever you want in random channels (each has it's own category but you can probably discuss it wherever you want), Also, there is a Discussion category in the forums and an Off-Topic Category where you can post whatever you want, again as long as it is not abusive.
