<p align="center"><em>Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, Zosin’s Comet</em> <br><em>pierced our atmosphere and everything changed.</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>Only the Lion Turtles, protectors of the four elements, could keep the benders safe.</em> <br><em>But the world as they knew it vanished.</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>A hundred years passed and my panda and I discovered a completely new world,</em> <br><em>far from what once was.</em></p>

<p align="center"><em>And although we possess enormous abilities, we still have a lot to learn before we can</em> <br><em>help one another. But I believe we will make this world a better place!"</em></p>

This is a small passion project that I’ve been tinkering with on and off since early 2024 \[but it’s online **24/7**]. It was originally created as a modpack alternative for friends with "toaster PCs." At the same time, due to its unique setup, it serves as a kind of social experiment. Feel free to read up and decide if it's the right fit for you!

The server is currently running on versions **1.21.7** - 1.21.11 and is compatible with both Java and (mostly) Bedrock \[without a server resource pack].

## Small starter guide

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Entry" %}
First, you find yourself in the server lobby. Here you will find: the bank, the job center, the casino, the leaderboards, some shops, pending bounties, elements to choose from, and of course the world portals. The left one leads you into the Island World (building world) and the right one into the Spiritual World (farm world). In the middle stand 4 very talented benders to grant you their element.&#x20;

You can find helpful commands under [Commands](/intro/start/commands.md)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Abilities" %}
Now you are ready to choose an element. For the first 7 days after your arrival, you can change it at any time. However, after 7 days, you must be using the element you wish to keep in the long term. A change after that is only possible through an elimination. With the compass in your inventory, which you can get back at any time via `/bendinggui`, you can bind your hotbar slots with an ability. This can also be done via command, but is easier with the compass at the beginning. You execute these using shift or left-click. You can see which ability you have bound to which slot on your scoreboard. This can also be turned off with `/sb`.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Ressources" %}
You can find your first resources in the Spiritual World. You can reach it through the portal in the lobby. To minimize your consumption a bit, you have the option to travel with your horse. This is located in your inventory and can be returned there with /horse despawn. With a Lodestone, you can set checkpoints and teleport to them at any time.

You can find more about horses and stuff in [Gameplay](/intro/guideline/gameplay.md)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Claiming" %}
Once you have gathered some materials for a house, you can head into the Island World and decide where to claim a home for yourself. You can use our [Browser Map](https://map.chicraft.net) to find a good location. By pressing F3+G, the "Chunk Borders" will be displayed. Use `/l create [name]` to create a land and /`claim` to claim a chunk, thereby creating your own claim. As the sole member of your claim, you can occupy up to 16 chunks. However, if you team up with others, your land could become significantly larger.\
Remember to `/sethome` so you can find your way back home.
