§0§lSettling§0 §0 §0When first leaving city§0 §0life or joining a new§0 §0server with the intent§0 §0to live unaccompanied§0 §0it's necessary to have§0 §0formulated a plan.§0 §0 §0Take into account the§0 §0worldmap, give§0 §0yourself an§0 §0approximation of how§0

and where you would§0 §0like to live.§0 §0 §0Especially at the§0 §0launch of a server,§0 §0make your living space§0 §0meek, even hidden.§0 §0Dropchest anything of§0 §0value away from your§0 §0homestead. You can't§0 §0always be there to§0 §0defend your hard§0 §0earned items, and no§0

oppressive§0 §0government is there to§0 §0protect you.§0

§0§lBuilding§0 §0 §0For Devoted§0 §0specifically, it is§0 §0desireable and§0 §0reccomended to obtain§0 §0a §0§nSmelter§0 factory.§0 §0This cheap factory§0 §0has many useful tools§0 §0for crafting building§0 §0blocks, and the ever§0 §0important §0§nClaims§0 §0§nBastion§0 if you intend§0

to fend off pearlees.§0 §0 §0As it becomes more§0 §0feasable and safe to§0 §0create a homestead or§0 §0decorative buildings§0 §0with minimal grief, a§0 §0tree farm and a§0 §0steady supply of§0 §0materials for your§0 §0Smelter become§0 §0important.§0 §0Self sufficiency comes§0

mainly from the§0 §0farming of wheat for§0 §0Bread.§0 §0 §0Don't forget to§0 §0reinforce your crops!§0

§lLong Term Planning§0 §0 §0Being a hermit is§0 §0uneventful, and can§0 §0feel worn out fairly§0 §0quick without proper§0 §0motivation. To remain a§0 §0hermit til end game you§0 §0will need goals to keep§0 §0from stagnation.§0 §0Become automated,§0 §0build your own§0 §0ghost-town, travel and§0

quietly raid to amass§0 §0wealth. Think of§0 §0something that you§0 §0feel comfortable with§0 §0in your playstyle.§0 §0Possiblities are§0 §0endless, just§0 §0brainstorm and it will§0 §0come to you.§0

§0§lTravelling§0 §0 §0Having to travel is§0 §0usually inevitable if§0 §0you want to take§0 §0advantage of luxories§0 §0that cannot be§0 §0obtained through this§0 §0playstyle.§0 §0 §0Many cities have a§0 §0public resource pool,§0 §0from Pickaxe factories§0

to cheaply obtainable§0 §0tools through shops.§0 §0Gaining access to§0 §0public factories and§0 §0worspaces are usually§0 §0as simple as messaging§0 §0a member within the§0 §0town. While having to§0 §0speak to someone may§0 §0be unfortunate, it is§0 §0worth it.§0 §0 §0When you are§0

travelling, try to only§0 §0carry the minimum. A§0 §0minecart and a spare,§0 §0a boat, and for long§0 §0journeys a bed.§0 §0Try not to stand out§0 §0by being heavily§0 §0geared, but don't go§0 §0anywhere unarmed or§0 §0naked. In both cases,§0 §0you will attract§0 §0unwanted attention.§0

§0§lSecurity§0 §0 §0For monitoring§0 §0purposes, you will§0 §0usually have the§0 §0advantage. You likely§0 §0wont have a large§0 §0claim, and therefore§0 §0wont have to create a§0 §0very complex snitch§0 §0grid.§0 §0Because you are less§0 §0likely to use noteblock§0

style snitches, the§0 §0majority of your§0 §0network will be§0 §0Jukeboxes. Each§0 §0monitors a 3d cube§0 §0with a functional§0 §0radius of 11 blocks,§0 §0making it easy to§0 §0secure a large area.§0 §0 Jukeboxes snitches§0 §0can be set up with§0 §0CastleGates/Redstone§0 §0to create complex§0

traps.§0 §0After placing a Juke,§0 §0use command§0 §0"/jaToggleLevers 1"§0 §0to enable lever output.§0 §0The adjacent block a§0 §0lever is placed will§0 §0determine the input§0 §0required to toggle the§0 §0lever. Levers are only§0 §0toggled by players not§0 §0on the snitch group.§0

The lever will then§0 §0enable then disable§0 §0after a short period.§0 §0Levers already§0 §0enabled will be§0 §0disabled and not§0 §0re-enabled.§0

Living alone isn't easy and it's not for anyone with delusions of relevancy. You will have more fun with a group.§0 §0Hermits don't need to care for WP politics, they rarely affect us. So if you have an itch for PVP, don't kid yourself with living quietly.
