# Getting started

Welcome to Bucketry! These steps will help you establish a home, gather supplies, and begin progressing through the server.

## 1. Learn the server basics

Use the tutorial and server menus when you first join. The [Basic features](/get-started/basic-features.md) page explains commonly used commands for teleporting, trading, player warps, payments, and XP storage.

## 2. Gather materials

The main world is suitable for building and long-term bases. Use `/worlds` to access the resource worlds when gathering larger quantities of blocks and materials. Resource worlds reset regularly so fresh terrain remains available.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Build permanent homes in the main world, not in a resource world that resets.
{% endhint %}

## 3. Set a home

Stand where you want to return and use `/sethome [name]`. Give homes clear names such as `base`, `farm`, or `mine` so they are easy to remember later.

## 4. Start earning money

You can earn money through server shops, jobs, quests, fishing, mining, and player trading. Begin with the [Money Making](/get-started/money-making.md) guide, then choose the activities you enjoy.

## 5. Complete quests

Open the quest menu with `/quests` or `/q`. Quest cards show their objectives, live progress, rewards, and whether they can be repeated. See the full [Quests guide](/get-started/money-making/quests.md) for details.

## 6. Progress through ranks

Use `/ranks` to inspect the current progression path and `/rankup` when you meet the next requirement. The [Ranks guide](/get-started/ranks.md) provides an overview of the progression system.
