=== Player Spawn ===
=== Player Spawn ===


Players appear in the world at the "spawn location". If a player dies in the game, the player will reappear (respawn) at the initial spawn location until the player spawn point is reset. (A way to reset player's spawn location can be found later in the game.) It's a good idea to set a marker for this spawn point when a player first appears in the world. The command to set a waypoint is <code>/waypoint add [waypointcolor] [title]</code>. This command adds a waypoint with given color (any .NET Color or a Hex Code) and text.

=== Player Inventory ===
=== Player Inventory ===


The GUI at the bottom of the player's screen shows a single left hand slot (holds one item type), 10 right hand slots (hotbar, accessed using 1-0 keys or scrolling the mouse wheel) and 4 empty container slots (far right). A player begins in the world with only 11 inventory slots (right hand hotbar and single left hand) available until containers are added to the 4 container slots. To begin expanding player inventory, crafting [[Crafting_Recipes#Portable_Containers|hand baskets]] is a good option. To create baskets, harvest [[Cooper's_Reed_(Cattail)|reeds]], which can usually be found near lakes.
You have 3 types of slots
<pre>Protip It's a good idea to move the torch to the left hand slot. Press 'E' to open the inventory and transfer items to/from the left hand slot. Moving the torch opens an available hotbar slot and provides a constant light source for the player.</pre>

=== Self defense ===
=== Self defense ===


Be aware that in Vintage Story, hostile mobs exist. For protection, craft stone weapons using the knapping system. Different weapons have different ranges. [[Spear]]s are the strongest long range weapon in the stone age, but break quickly. Create a stone spearhead by knapping, and combine with a stick (shaft) in the crafting grid to craft the spear.  Knives, axes, or just plain sticks can all be used as weapons, but these have shorter ranges than the spear. In an emergency, small stones can be thrown at mobs.
