1. Finish the exact pack setup
Install the official ATMons profile linked from the AshRun join guide. Let the pack finish loading before connecting; assembling a partial mod list by hand will not match the server.
2. Open the in-game starter route
Run /start. AshRun’s live onboarding flow walks through travel, a camp home, a claim, and a next objective. You can reopen it later, so there is no need to memorize the whole pack at spawn.
3. Link Discord to Minecraft
Account linking is optional but strongly encouraged for established players as well as newcomers. Run /discord link in game, then use the one-time /link command in AshRun Discord within ten minutes. Linking makes support and account-aware community features clearer and synchronizes your nickname inside the AshRun Discord server to your Minecraft name; it does not change your global Discord username. Then use /linkreward status and /linkreward claim for cumulative common-item milestones that recognize existing playtime or quest progress. Read the Discord linking guide for the exact tiers, privacy boundaries, and removal path.
4. Pick a responsible base area
The starter route offers /rtp for overworld travel. Before building, check the map for nearby claims and leave sensible space around another player’s project. Avoid treating the resource world as permanent storage or a long-term home.
5. Set a return point
Stand at your camp and use /sethome camp. The onboarding route then gives you a direct /home camp return path while you explore.
6. Claim before you invest
Open the FTB Chunks map with M and claim the chunks covering your first camp. Claims protect block editing and interaction by default; the claims and chunk-loading guide explains the exact current limits.
7. Choose one next objective
Pick the part of ATMons you actually want to learn first: quests and trainer progression, Pokémon collecting, a small technology line, a build, or the player economy. For trading and rewards, read the GTS, hunts, and economy guide. For species-specific routes, use the AshRun Pokémon database.
Make your next session easy to start
Give yourself one small reason to come back: the next gym badge, a Pokémon you want to catch, a shop to stock, or a room to finish. Daily contracts and the Battle Tower offer shorter goals when you do not have time for a large project.
If you would like to help the community grow, open the official voting links. Each confirmed vote currently earns $125 and 2 Ultra Balls, with offline rewards delivered after your next login. Voting is optional; you can start with one site and follow its own cooldown.
A sensible first-hour checklist
- Connect with the exact current ATMons profile.
- Run
/start. - Optionally link Discord with
/discord link, then check/linkreward status. - Choose a base area away from existing claims.
- Set
/sethome camp. - Claim the camp in FTB Chunks.
- Pick one quest, build, Pokémon, or economy goal.
