FIRST 20 MINUTES
Secure the basics.
Get wood, food, torches, a bed if possible, and a safe place for storage. Do not panic when familiar recipes or tiers are locked — Genesis is intentionally controlling the early-game pace.

QUEST 01
START HERE
Your first day should create momentum.
This is the recommended route from fresh spawn to a stable Hynoe SMP character. Hynoe does not use vanilla unlock pacing: Genesis Ages open parts of the game over time and through milestones. Check things off as you understand them — the list saves in your browser.
LEARN THE LOCKS
Genesis Ages decide what your character is ready for.
Tool tiers unlock by actually wearing out the previous tier. Smelting waits for 5 in-game days of playtime. Copper armor waits for 10. Story milestones control major dimension access, including The End.

PROGRESS WITHOUT SKIPPING
Build a recovery plan as each Age opens.
Keep spare food and unlocked tools at base so one death never erases the whole session. Follow the Genesis tool chain instead of trying to jump straight to iron or diamond, and build armor around the Age your character has actually reached.
LOCK IN YOUR WORLD
Set one Home. Activate Waystones.
Use /sethome <name> once you choose a real base. Hynoe SMP allows one Home maximum. Waystones remain the primary long-range travel network.
PROTECT THE BUILD
Claim important land and storage.
Claims protect your base, containers, farms, villagers, and infrastructure. Expand deliberately and only trust players who should be able to modify the area.
LEARN THE NETWORK
Dollars. Tokens. Jobs+.
Dollars handle normal trade. Tokens reward progression and buy curated Vault rewards. Jobs+ handles profession specialization.
Travel to the Economy District →BEGIN YOUR STORY
Choose what kind of world you want to build.
Explore structures, establish farms and storage, start an MCA settlement, specialize through Jobs+, or begin climbing the gear ladder. Hynoe SMP is designed around a long survival arc.
