🧱 Voxel Building & Crafting

Block Types

Block	Description	Uses
Grass	Surface terrain	Natural generation
Dirt	Underground terrain	Building material
Stone	Hard material	Tools, building
Wood	From trees	Crafting, building
Copper Wire	Networking cable	Connect computers
Computer	Programmable device	Mining, networking

💡 Tip: Copper wire must be connected between computers to create networks!

💻 Computer System

Computer Basics

Computers are programmable blocks that can mine Bitcoin, store files, and communicate over networks.

Desktop Interface

Visual file browser with icons

Click files to open them

Quick access to console and editor

Console/Terminal

Command-line interface

Run commands and scripts

View system output

Text Editor

Create and edit files

Write scripts

Store data

Basic Commands

# File System ls # List files (FTP-style directory) dir # Same as ls read filename.txt # View file contents cat filename.txt # Same as read touch newfile.txt # Create new file write file.txt "text" # Write to file rm file.txt # Delete file # Wallet Management wallet new # Create new wallet wallet show # Show wallet address balance # Check BTC balance # Help help # Show all commands

File Listing Example

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Directory of 1.1 - 5 file(s) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Name Size Type Shared ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── wallet_info.txt 2KB TXT No mining_config.txt 512B TXT Yes blockchain_data.btc 45KB BTC No startup.script 128B EXEC No Use 'read <filename>' to view file contents Use 'touch <filename>' to create a new file ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════

🌐 Computer Networking

Network Setup

Creating a Network:

Place multiple computers
Connect them with Copper Wire
Each computer gets an IP address (e.g., 1.1, 1.2, 1.3)
Computers on same network can share files and resources

Network Benefits

Mining Pools

Connected miners get +50% hash rate bonus

Mine to single wallet across network

File Sharing

Share files across network

Use share and fetch commands

Resource Pooling

Coordinate multiple computers

Wildcard IP support (1.*)

# Share a file on network share wallet_info.txt # Fetch file from another computer fetch 1.2 wallet_info.txt

🔒 Network Security & Gateway Protection

Password Protection

Secure your networks by placing password-protected computers between network segments.

Setting Up a Secure Gateway:

Place a computer between two network segments
Set a password: password MySecurePass123
Enable gateway mode: gateway enable
Computer now blocks unauthorized access

Security Commands

# Set password (minimum 4 characters) password MySecurePass123 # Enable gateway mode (requires password first) gateway enable # Check gateway status gateway # Authenticate to access protected network auth MySecurePass123 # Disable gateway mode gateway disable # Clear all authorized sessions gateway clear

How Gateway Security Works

✓ Protected Network Example:
Public Network (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) → Gateway Computer (1.5) → Private Network (2.1, 2.2, 2.3)

⚠ Access Denied: When you try to access a password-protected gateway, you'll see:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚠ ACCESS DENIED - AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED ⚠ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This computer is a SECURED NETWORK GATEWAY. Gateway IP: 1.5 Status: LOCKED To access this network, you must authenticate: auth <password> Contact the network administrator for the password. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════

💡 Security Tip: Place gateway computers strategically to protect valuable mining operations and sensitive data!

₿ Blockchain & Bitcoin System

Overview

Surviving Day features a real blockchain implementation with Bitcoin mining, wallets, and transactions.

Wallet Management

# Create a new wallet wallet new # Show your wallet address wallet show # Check balance balance # Check someone else's balance balance 1abc123def456...

Username System

Link usernames to wallet addresses for easy transactions!

Setting Up a Username:

Get your wallet address: wallet show
Link a username: btcusername Alice 1abc123def456...
Now others can send to "Alice" instead of the full address!

# Link username to wallet btcusername Alice 1abc123def456789... # Now you can use username instead of address send Alice 5.0 balance Alice startminer Alice 1.*

Transactions

# Send BTC to wallet address send 1abc123def456 10.5 # Send BTC to username send Alice 10.5 # Check blockchain info blockchain info blockchain blocks 10

⛏️ Bitcoin Mining

Mining Basics

Mine Bitcoin using computers! Connect multiple computers in a network for bonus hash rate.

Solo Mining

Base: 1000 H/s per computer

Good for small operations

Network Mining

Base + 500 H/s bonus

Total: 1500 H/s per computer

Requires copper wire connection

Block Rewards

6.25 BTC per block

Difficulty adjusts automatically

Rewards split by hash rate

Mining Commands

# Start mining on specific IPs startminer 1abc123 1.1 1.2 1.3 # Start mining using username startminer Alice 1.1 1.2 1.3 # Start ALL computers on network 1 startminer Alice 1.* # Start ALL computers everywhere startminer Alice all # Stop mining stopminer 1.1 1.2 stopminer all # Check mining status minerstatus minerstatus 1.*

Mining Pool Example

Setup a 5-Computer Mining Pool:

Place 5 computers and connect with copper wire
They get IPs: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5
On any computer: startminer Alice 1.*
All 5 mine to Alice's wallet with network bonus!
Total hash rate: 7,500 H/s (1,500 H/s × 5)

✓ Mining Started! Your computers are mining Bitcoin. Check progress with minerstatus

Use usernames instead of full wallet addresses for convenience
Place password-protected computers as network gateways
Use wildcards (1.*) to operate on all computers in a network
Press ESC for pause menu with Save and Exit option
Auto-save happens every 60 seconds
Animals spawn naturally and from eggs

⚠ Important Notes:

Don't save at invalid positions (underground spawning bug)
Gateway computers block ALL commands until authenticated
