Overview
Soar MC is a free to play Minecraft server, where there are four main worlds. The Island World, The Wilderness, The Nether, and The End. The Island World is a safe area populated by player generated and built islands. You can not die nor take damage here. While The Wilderness is an ever-changing world where resources are harvested from, and brought back to The Island World.

Spawning In
Upon loading into the server, the player will spawn on the island simply known as "Spawn" and standing on the end of a dock. A nether portal will be in front of the player, and once the player enters the portal, they will be teleported onto their personal island, while a message saying "Please welcome [The Player's Username] to the server! :)" will be broadcasted in global chat. As is custom, a few players will send a greeting to the new player.

The spawn island can be accessed at any time the player is able to teleport, by using the command /vi spawn. The player will warp back to the dock and can further explore the island. Branching off of the main island are 4 subsections, including a campfire area, a building advertising pets and animal heads, a tavern representing the custom potions, and a market stall advertising the marketplace.

For a further tutorial, there are 6 lecterns with books on them, explaining trading, animals and taming, Hard Mode, quests, and player interaction. The Player can also use /help to receive a book titled Island Life that will explain the basics of using island commands. Other islands can be visited by using the command /vi [island name] and a list of a few public islands can be found on Island List

An overview of server mechanics and further information can be found in The Book Of Steve.

The Wilderness
The Wilderness is a constantly changing world beneath the Island World. Every week (4am CST on Monday) the world will reset to a brand new seed and all changes made during the previous week will reset. The Wilderness can be accessed by jumping off of any island, but depending on which island is jumped off of will change the drop point into the world. If two players jump off of the same island, they will land at the same point in the wilderness. The island drop points change every day (4am CST) however the world itself is the same. Using coordinates or by simply exploring, The Player may return to their previous jump point or any previous builds they may have constructed.

The Island World
Once The Player steps through the portal, they will be teleported to their personal, private island in the Island World. This island can be accessed with /home at any time The Player is able to teleport. The Player is also able to use /nameisland [island name] to allow other players to visit them, and access their island with /vi [island name]. The island is safe from monsters, griefing, hunger, and is where players are encouraged to place their builds. Your island can also be /regen (or /biome) as many times as you want.

The player can have more than one island by donating at the tebex website. Further information about islands can be found at Island World.

The End
You can get to the end on our server the same way you do in vanilla, find the portal in the resource world. A slight difference is going through the end portal in the resource world will take you to a portal in the island world. The End is reset every day so at the beginning of the day, there is a fresh dragon. A dragon will also spawn for anyone that enters the portal and hasn't earned the advancement for killing the dragon.

The Nether
The nether is reached the same way as in vanilla, build a portal and there you go. You can build portals on your islands, in fact there are a large number of islands posted on various droplists in discord daily that contain portals along with the biomes.
