# Welcome

You wake up alone on a single chunk of real terrain, floating in an endless void. Everything past the treeline is gone - no ocean, no mountains, no neighbors. Just you, your chunk, and an Allay named Chonky waiting to help.

Everything you build back - every chunk you buy, every piece of wilderness you restore - permanently fills in the world for the entire server, visible to everyone on the live map. ChunkedWorld blends Skyblock-style island building, prison-style rank progression, and full SMP survival into one loop: **the world is gone, and players bring it back.**

{% hint style="info" %}
Season 1 launched May 8, 2026. This is a season-based server, so the world you're restoring is this season's.
{% endhint %}

## The core loop

Alongside the loop below, a rotating [Daily Tasks](/chunkedworld/progression/daily-tasks.md) board and buyable [spawners](/chunkedworld/economy/spawners.md) give you extra income on top of quests, from your very first session onward.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create your island

Run `/cw` to claim your starting chunk - real, naturally generated terrain surrounded by void.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete quests

Open `/q` and knock out quests to earn money and work toward your next rank-up.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Rank up

Run `/rankup` once you've cleared your rank's quest requirement. Ranking up raises your maximum island size.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Expand your island

Run `/cw upgrade` to buy your next chunk. Each one rises out of the void with real terrain, ores, loot, and mobs.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Unlock the wider world

Reach Freeman to unlock the Nether and the wilderness beyond your island border.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restore the wilderness

Buy Chunk Generators with `/cw gen` and bring shared, unowned wilderness back into existence for everyone to explore.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Prestige and chase the End

Prestige into the plus ranks, unlock the End at Freeman+, find the stronghold, and take down the Ender Dragon.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## What makes it different

* **A true void world.** Only player islands and player-restored wilderness exist. The map fills in as the community plays - nothing is pre-generated for you to find.
* **Real terrain, every time.** Every chunk you unlock - island or wilderness - is genuine generated terrain: ores, dungeons, loot chests, spawners, villages, and structures all work exactly as they would in a normal world.
* **Paced on purpose.** Quest limits and rank requirements are there deliberately, to pace the journey from a single chunk to full SMP freedom.
* **Playable with clicks, not commands.** Chonky, your personal companion NPC, gives you a full menu for island management - no typing required, which makes the server fully friendly to Bedrock and mobile players.

## Join ChunkedWorld

* **Server address:** `play.chunk3d.com` - Java and Bedrock, same address
* **Store:** [store.chunk3d.com](https://store.chunk3d.com) - VIP rank and Gold Crate keys
