Cubeville can be a large and confusing place to navigate if you are unfamiliar with the server. This guide's goal is to help you become better acquainted with locations and methods of transportation around Cubeville.
Portals
Portals are a method of traveling around the server. They are extremely complicated. (just kidding)
Simply walk into them to teleport to a different area.
Portal Example
Where Should I Start Building?
If you have just joined the server, there are two different recommendations for starting out. Pick a drop town and /modreq for a started plot(more info in the hub section under drops). The other option is to navigate to the wild(explained below under hub). Traveling via the Drops portals is the best way to reach the wild quickly.
