How do I get out of spawn on an anarchy server?

Pick one direction and walk or sprint straight out. Avoid other players, don't stop for loot, and eat what you find. After a few thousand blocks it gets much safer.

How far from spawn should I build on an anarchy server?

On a young world like DaAnarchy, 10,000+ blocks from spawn and away from highways is a good start. The further, the safer.

How to survive on a Minecraft anarchy server

Your first hour on an anarchy server decides everything. There is no /tp, no /home, no kit and nobody will save you. This guide is written for DaAnarchy (play.daanarchy.net), but it works on any Minecraft anarchy server.

1. Get out of spawn

Spawn on an anarchy server is a wasteland: holes, lava, traps, ruined builds and players who kill new players for fun. Don't try to build there.

Pick one direction and walk straight out. Sprint-jump when you have food.
Don't stop to loot chests near spawn – they are often traps.
Avoid other players until you know them. "Want to team?" can be a trap.
Eat what you find: apples from trees, animals, crops from ruined farms.

2. Get the basics

Food first – a stack of bread or cooked meat.
A bed – your spawn point when you die. Without one you respawn at spawn.
Iron tools and armour – then diamond, then netherite.
An ender chest – the only storage nobody can steal from.

3. Travel far before you build

On a young world like DaAnarchy the land is still free, but players explore fast. Go at least 10,000 blocks out, and stay away from highways and other bases. The Nether is 8× faster: 1 block in the Nether = 8 blocks in the Overworld. Many players travel on the Nether roof, which is open on DaAnarchy.

4. Hide your base

Never share coordinates – not in chat, not in screenshots (turn off coordinates in screenshots), not to "friends" you just met.
Don't leave trails: no paths, no portals right next to your base, no long tunnels pointing at it.
Build small first, underground or in an unexciting place.
Huge farms and builds can be seen from far away – make them worth the risk.

5. Keep your loot safe

Your ender chest is your bank. Keep your best gear there.
Make several small stashes in different places instead of one big base.
Carry what you can afford to lose.

6. Fight smart

Totems of Undying and golden apples win fights. Collect them.
End crystals and respawn anchors are deadly – practise before you rely on them.
On DaAnarchy hacked clients are banned, so fights are won with gear and skill.

7. Be part of the world

Anarchy is more than PvP. Build highways, trade, join or start a group, leave signs, explore old ruins and write the history of the server. DaAnarchy has never been reset, so what you build stays.
