# Your First Connection

What happens the first time you join Androlia, and the rules of the world.

## The intro guide

The very first time you set foot on the OneBlock server, you are placed in **spectator mode** for a short guided tour. The camera moves on its own around the spawn area and four steps are shown, each with a title, a sound and a message in chat:

1. **Welcome to Androlia!** — the guide begins.
2. **The Central Block** — the block in the middle of your island. Mine it to get resources and advance through the phases.
3. **Island Settings** — a reminder that `/ob settings` lets you configure your island (name, glow, and more).
4. **Have fun!** — the guide ends and points you to `/quests` for your missions.

{% hint style="success" %}
You don't have to do anything during the tour — just watch. When it ends you get control back and the adventure starts.
{% endhint %}

The guide only plays **once**, on your first join.

## Rules of the world

### No player collisions on the HUB

On the **HUB**, players walk through each other. Nobody can push you off a jump, block a doorway or shove you into a portal. This is automatic — there is nothing to enable.

### The combat tag (OneBlock)

On the **OneBlock** server, hitting or being hit by another player puts you in **combat**. While the combat tag is active:

* you **cannot run commands** — no `/ob join`, no `/hub`, no escaping mid-fight;
* if you **disconnect**, you **die instantly**. Logging out is not an escape.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Quitting during a fight kills your character and drops your inventory. Wait for the combat tag to expire before disconnecting.
{% endhint %}

### Advancements are disabled

Vanilla advancements are turned off across the whole network: no toast pop-ups, no chat announcements, and the Progress menu stays empty. This is intentional — the progression on Androlia goes through the [OneBlock phases](/androlia/oneblock/phases.md) and the [quests](/androlia/economy-and-progression/quests.md) instead.

Your **recipe book still unlocks normally**, so crafting is never affected.

### Command auto-completion is filtered

When you press <kbd>Tab</kbd>, you only see the commands you are actually allowed to use. If a command doesn't appear in the list, it is not meant for your rank — see [Blocked Commands](/androlia/extras/blocked-commands.md).
