This page is designed to assist new players in learning how to play, join in and get involved with Pavia, although may prove to be a useful resource to established players who are considering making Pavia their home.

While an important document for the nation of Pavia, it has limited influence on the modern state.
== Governance and Laws ==
Pavia's government is dynamic and frequently changes significantly, please read the main [[Pavia]] for details on the current state of government, and to read about the history of the state if you are interested.
New players should know that there are a general set of rules that while not explicitly listed anywhere are enforced by the Pavian Coastguard (the Pavian military).
* Do not grief or break 'reinforced' blocks (blocks that have health).
* Do not break into the homes of others
* Do not build anywhere other than a designated free-build zone unless you receive explicit permission from the Bureau of Architecture
* Do not damage the natural environment of Pavia (i.e; gather sand from from places other than the beaches of Pavia, chop trees at designated tree farm)
* Do not mine under developed areas of Pavia.
* Do not trespass into areas that are closed off (namely Terminus; the large black obsidian structure [a [[Vault|<nowiki>Vault]</nowiki>]] located beside the train station)
You will find these rules are common across many nations on the map, so as a citizen of Pavia it is expected that you will not raid or grief other nations on the map.
== The tutorial building ==
Pavia has constructed a entirely player made tutorial for the major plugins on the server. This is a great place for players who are brand new to the server to get their first hands on look at some of the server's major plugins such as [[Realistic Biomes]] and block protection plugin [[Citadel]]. You can access this tutorial from the main chamber of the Pavian townhall at +800, -3065.

The
'''Citizens can however build freely within the Bedford Common''', an area designated in the Duchy of Bedford for new players to get established. Open the Pavian Land Registry map on the right hand side of this page to see the location and boundary of the Bedford Common.
Line 118 ⟶ 135:
Factories have varying costs to create and as a result, some factories are kept away from the public for security.
Citizens of Pavia can access all common factories
[[Factories (CivMC)|Click here for detailed information on FactoryMod.]]
Line 128 ⟶ 145:
The primary food crops grown in Pavia are carrots and wheat. Farms for these crops, accessible to citizens can be found alongside the Kingsroad. The state primarily relies on imported baked potatoes for food security and sells these in the Grand Exchange to citizens. Various shops located within the City of Pavia sell other more valuable food items such as cooked chicken, steak and pork.
A citizen accessible carrot farm is at 1183, -2984, and wheat can be found at 1170, -3013. On CivMC, you can hold right-click to harvest.
=== Wood ===
'''Kingsroad Tree farms'''
Oak logs can be found nearby at 1670, -2846.
Spruce and other logs do not grow at Pavia but can be brought in volume from the Grand Exchange in town.
Please replant after you gather logs, trees take 48 hours to regrow after planted.
=== Mining ===
Mining is vastly different on CivMC in comparison to vanilla Minecraft, and takes time and experience to truly become lucrative. There are two important Civ plugins to be aware of in relation to mining. [[Hidden Ore]]; this plugin changes ore generation to make ores generate as you break blocks or as you walk through unexplored caves, rather than ores generating and being present in the world from the beginning, and [[Orebfuscator]] which changes blocks not visible to the user to other blocks to prevent x-ray.
Line 150 ⟶ 166:
Mining for valuable ores is best done as far from player settlement as possible. If you are able to find a cave that has not been explored; large numbers of diamonds can be found easily. As Pavia is a highly populated and dense region of the map, it is recommended that players go outside of the nation to isolated areas to mine for the best chances to find valuables goods.
If you are interested in mining - always ensure that you are using a Fortune pick on iron ore and Silk Pick on all other ores as soon as possible to be able to make sure of the Pavian Ore Exchange, which offers considerably
These enchanted picks are available for purchase
==== The Pavian Ore Exchange ====
The Pavian Ore Exchange allows players to access the exchanges available in the Ore Smelter factory without having direct access to the factory itself. This exchange can be found
The
=== The Grand Exchange ===
The Grand Exchange is a cornerstone of the Pavian lifestyle. This exchange is operated by the
The Exchange allows citizens to trade essence, iron, diamonds and occasionally other in-demand goods such as
New players are encouraged to make use of the exchange to purchase difficult to maintain building blocks such as white concrete and bricks when building in the Bedford Commons
The Grand Exchange can be found at
=== Shopping in Pavia ===
Line 191 ⟶ 202:
However, build contracts are in great demand and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To obtain a build contract - keep an eye on the #
Non-citizens can gain access to the #pavia-schematics channel and Pavian build contracts by contacting [[Gobblin]].
Line 212 ⟶ 223:
=== Build in the Undercity ===
The City of Pavia allows freebuilding in the deepslate layer under the city, there are multiple 'gates' from which you may access the undercity, one is located in Shifty Avenue near 537, -3002.
The only requirement in the undercity is that you do not disturb existing builds, you do not build any bunkers and you remain deep enough below the basements and existing infrastructure above (stick to the deepslate layer).
=== Make map art ===
A lucrative business for those who are interested is to develop map art for the server, you can see some examples in shops along the Main Street. If you are interested in this, it's suggested that you build these map arts outside of Pavia's sovereign borders and then open a shop in the Main Street to sell your goods when you're ready.
=== Write books ===
Civ servers have an extensive history and book catalogue that has developed over many years. There are librarian associations around the server including the most well-known, the [[Maester's Alliance]]. You can read local Pavian literature at the Pavian library located at 876, -2918, and some government documents are located throughout the Pavian townhall.
If you write a good book, the Pavian government will be willing to purchase and display your book in the library, or you can sell it in town. (The [[FactoryMod]] plugin allows you to create printing plates so that others cannot steal your book).
=== Attend Public Events ===
Pavia holds frequent events, especially located around major holidays throughout the year such as Christmas and the anniversary of the server. Any events that are upcoming will be announced ahead of time in the Pavia discord.
=== Help with Public Projects ===
Pavia will on occasional endeavour on large scale public works that require a large amount of labour, if labour is required this will likely be published to the #job-board or announced in #citizens-announcements where you may come in and join.
=== Role-play ===
A large portion of Pavia is dedicated to world-building and some very light role-play elements. Get involved by founding your own church, opening your own pub, making your own school or any other thing you can think of to help make the city a more interesting place to explore and be a part of.
== Moving up in the world ==
Pavia does not have a closed government. In some nations, there is little to no ability for new players to ascend the ladder to the very top. But in Pavia, hardworking and committed players can progress to the very top of the ladder. The first step is to become a noble.
=== Becoming a Noble ===
A noble is a player who has been recognised for their contribution to the state by a Duke of Pavia. Nobles are granted the right to vote for the incoming Prime Minister and Emperor.
To become a noble of Pavia, it is suggested that you get involved in the discord, engage in-game through participating in public works or showing that you have good independence through doing things such as starting a business and inducting new players.
=== Getting landed ===
A Duke may elect to make a Noble 'landed' by granting them a portion of their own Ducal territory for the Noble to watch over and administer.
=== Joining the government cabinet ===
The incumbent Prime Minister may appoint any players they see fit to their government cabinet to assist in the administration of the state. Cabinet members generally take on a particular focus of the government such as the administration of the state's rail systems or induction of new players.
=== Becoming a Duke ===
A Duke is a player who has the right to found and run a political party, administers some territory within the state and has the right to appoint their own nobles. Dukes have increased responsibility such as assisting with the defence of Pavia and general day-to-day administration of the state through their involvement in Pavian bureaus and/or the government cabinet.
To become a Duke of Pavia, a noble must be recognised as being ready to ascend to the title of Duke and the Prime Minister must call an election of the Dukes to appoint a new Duke. if the majority of Dukes agree to the appointment, the noble can ascend to the title of Duke.
=== Becoming the Prime Minister ===
To become the Prime Minister of Pavia, a Duke must found a political party and campaign for the vote of the nobles.
After the incumbent Prime Minister 'dies' through a dice day, a vote is held where nobles may choose their new preferred political party.
Once elected, you may appoint a cabinet and run the state until you 'die' at a dice day (See the main Pavia discord for more information on this).
== Travel ==
It is always suggested that new players should travel the world to understand the scale of Civ servers.
Everything seen in-game is entirely player made and driven, and exists in a world where any player has the ability to grief or raid.
You may travel to see the world through the Pavian International Station located at 986, -3034. From here you may travel to a number of destinations including. but not limited to:
* Icenia
* Baile
* Volterra
* the Imperial Federation
* Griffin
* Deepslate Isles
* Vinland
== Our place in the world ==
Pavia is a founding state of the [[Lyrean Commonwealth]], a super-state located in the Lyrea region of CivMC including the nations of Griffin, Amboise and Pavia as well as Pavia's protectorates - the Deepslate Isles, Moloka and Lambat.
Pavia's region is heavily focused on world-building, trade and is generally committed to a peaceful existence.
== Recommended client-side mods ==
See [[Mods/1.20]]. At Pavia we suggest the use of:
Litematica,
CivModern,
Xaero's Minimap (turn cave mode ff)
Xaero's Worldmap
Bobby (increased render distance)
any FPS improvement mods as required such as Optifine, Lithium and Sodium.
For those with powerful computers, getting Iris and a shader's pack will allow you to play with shaders.
