Getting Started

Hi! Welcome to the world of Primeval, all vanilla items and blocks have been made unobtainable, and you'll have to relearn some things.

Firstly- Be careful about how you break blocks, almost all natural blocks are prone to collapse and landslide if you mess with them, and caves may cave-in over your head if you aren't cautious about what blocks you break.

Second- Most blocks now require a tool to break them, and thus breaking things with your fist will be excruciatingly slow, so get yourself a set of tools as fast as you can!

Some more quick tips:

• Breaking grass with a knife will get you a lot more straw for crafting and building
• By putting a stick in both the off-hand and main hand, you can light fires by holding right click.
• Clay is a valuable resource, so stick near a river, ocean, or lake where you can find it.
• Saplings can be harvested from trees by breaking leaves with a knife.
• Saplings grow slowly, so plant them early or you will quickly run out of nearby wood to harvest.
