Leaving the Shell, Conquering the World

Players who don't feel like staying at their homes or in caves will be happy to know that there are an infinitude of things to do in the surface, but before you get your backpack and go exploring, extreme caution is to be taken if one wants to survive.

Combat
First and foremost, a minimum of quality is required for a weapon, a Club or another wooden blunt weapon may work at first, but a player of arms will prefer to acquire at least Iron or Bronze to make a decent blade. Once metal is acquired, the arms race begins.

Weapon list
The following is a list of types of weapons as well as known artifacts of ancient or modern power.

Building a ship
The most daring adventurers do not settle for a simple boat. After building the desired shape for a vessel out of blocks, only a Ship Helm and a steam engine are needed to turn it into a fully fledged ship.

Limited by the oceans? Don't worry, attach enough balloons to a ship so that 40% of its mass is made out of them and it will become a marvelous '''airship! '''Remember each time an engine is added to a ship the speed will increase. They require a fuel source like coal or nethercoal to function.

Interdimensional traveling
There are six notable dimensions: The Overworld, the Nether, the End, The Aether, the Twilight Forest, and The Beneath.

The Overworld is where the player first spawns, and can be reached by going back through the entry portal of any other dimension. The Nether is reached in the same manner as vanilla Minecraft. The Aether is reached by making a nether portal frame out of glowstone, and 'lighting' it with a water bucket. The Beneath can be reached by mining down and past the Arcane Barriers, which require a diamond pickaxe or any equivalents. The Twilight Forest can be reached by filling a two by two block hole with water source blocks, surrounding the water in flowers or mushrooms, and dropping a Queen Ghast Tear into it.
