I just thought I'd take the opportunity to say hello to everyone! This server seems like a really great one, and maybe I can get better at Minecraft through it. I know almost all of the recipes, and I'm alright at building and such, but I can't fight if my life depended on it, which it typically does! Other than that, I typically hoard any materials I find, so if you can't find something maybe I have it? I love helping people, but seeing as I'm quite new to this server I'll need a bit of help myself! I also love talking so don't ever be afraid to say hello to me in game or on the forums!
Welcome to EMC! Remember, if you are really bad at fighting, you can always change the difficulty to 1. This will in turn make it so you do not really get the mob drops, however it will let you collect resources until you can make some great armor! (Default is difficulty 5) Just do /ps and click on the difficulty to a lower setting. Also be aware it takes some time before the change actually happens (so people do not change it on the 'fly'). Good luck, if you have questions, feel free to ask! See ya in the mines!
Welcome to EMC! I don't know you, but I would love to. If you are ever on SMP8, feel free to say "Hi". If you have any questions EMC-related, I'm no expert, but I definitely know enough and would be happy to help.
I did change the difficulty, I just get really nervous when monsters are around, even if I have diamond enchanted everything! ouo But thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it!
I'm kind of chatterbox, so I typically never turn down an opportunity to speak! I can't wait to make some new friends here on EMC!
Welcome to the Empire Maltri. I also was a terrible fighter when I started minecraft. The only advise I can give you is to get out kill things. It does get easier. Just have fun, it is only a game.
