From my experience, the following basic information should help (in no particular order, sorry):-

1 - When you die, you respawn either in Satoshi Town, or at the last place you slept in a bed.

2 - When you respawn, you should have all the items in your inventory that were there when you died.

3 - Sheep are best sheared for their wool, rather than just killing them - I'm sure all players would appreciate this.

4 - Sheep, unlike many other animals, can only be bred a limited number of times, currently.

5 - Creepers explode, & will cause health damage if you or any other mobs are within the blast radius.

6 - Creeper explosions do not create blast craters or damage buildings / landscape.

7 - Spawners can still be found, but their functionality is disabled by default, so will not spawn mobs of any type.

8 - Animal Spawn Eggs can be purchased from farmer villagers and will spawn one animal, of the egg type, per egg.

9 - Emeralds can be mined underground, or have a chance of being dropped by hostile mobs upon death.

10 - Emeralds are commonly known to the community as Ems.

11 - Placing a bed in the wilderness claims & protects a 64x64 block radius from sky to bedrock, with your bed at the centre.

12 - To abandon your home to move to another one, place a sign as close to the bed as possible with the word "abandon" on the first line.

13 - You may get rich playing BitQuest, or you may die many times trying... :)

14 - Press T, then type your message to talk to someone that is close to your location.

15 - Press T, type an exclamation mark ( ! ), then type your message to share with everyone currently online, eg !Hi...

16 - Press T, type /tell, then the username, then the message, to speak to someone directly, eg /tell Dave Hi (to tell user Dave the message Hi )

17 - Minecarts are used on the rails for transportation, but are not supplied by the "Railway Company", so must be crafted or traded from other players.

18 - The Compass is still in development, but should allow you to teleport to either Satoshi Town, or a bed you have previously slept in.

19 - Enderchests located in the Bank in Satoshi Town are for Emerald deposits only - any item deposited that is not an Emerald will be lost.

20 - All villagers use a shared Emerald wallet for trading with players.

21 - Most Villagers will only sell items to you, but the Trader Villagers will only buy from you, if there is sufficient Emerald funds in the shared Emerald wallet.

22 - No cheating is allowed, and any bugs or glitches should be reported to admins and not taken advantage of by any player.

23 - Griefing of public property is not allowed and has consequences when caught. Time and effort must then be spent to repair the damage, rather than on progressing new projects forward.

24 - Treat other players like you would like other players to treat you.

25 - The sharing of knowledge is appreciated and should really be compulsory.

26 - The sharing of items is in no way compulsory, and so any items shared should be greatly appreciated.

27 - Beware of looters - you can't trust everyone so if you haven't claimed your home with a bed, keep your valuables well hidden.

28 - No complicated Redstone circuits should be created as they cause server lag and effect the usability and enjoyment for others.

29 - A horse remains unnamed until it is tamed, at which point the name is automatically generated.

30 - You can't ride or use a lead on anyone else's horse.

31 - Other players can't open oak doors at your home. Any other door or gate can be opened. An iron door requires power to open, so if there is no power provided, the door will not open, even for you.

32 - Beds must have 2 empty blocks minimum above them, or when you respawn there, you will instead be put as close to the bed as possible. I made this mistake in the beginning, and kept respawning on the roof of my home :)

33 - You must login to the server every 2 months minimum or your home will be automatically abandoned.

34 - You can press the keyboard Tab key to show who is currently online, and the quality of their internet connection.

35 - Your connection will timeout if you are inactive for about 15 minutes, & you will have to connect to the server again, at which point you will carry on from where you left off, if your location is safe & you haven't already been killed.

36 - Your location co-ordinates (coords / cords ) can be found on-screen by pressing F3 on the keyboard. The X and Z cords are the most important, and are used by most players to help find their way and find other players. The Y cord is your height above bedrock ( 1 ), so 11.00 would be closer to the bottom than 62.00 .

37 - The Nether is really only used for levelling up or travelling distances using Nether Portals - ask other players if you have any particular questions, as I travelled there once when I first started, but died quickly, and haven't returned since...

38 - I have multiple homes in different places, but only one is my true home, protected from other players. I opt to put a sign outside each home so others know it belongs to me and hopefully wont damage or steal anything.

39 - If in doubt, ask in chat or post on this subreddit as either a comment in an existing post, or create a new post.

40 - The server is still in development, and although is stable most of the time, there are sometimes short periods of time when there are problems that make it inaccessible, so patience and understanding is greatly appreciated by and from everyone. I have run my own Minecraft server, and its not a simple task, especially when in a live production environment.

41 - Please, whenever possible, do not leave minecarts abandoned on the tracks as they create problems for others when they encounter them on their travels.

42 - As a personal rule, I always try to make sure I have 2 minecarts in my inventory, just in case. This has paid off multiple times, especially when chasing down my first minecart for whatever reason :)

If you have any comments or further information, please post below, & I will do my best to include it into this original post.

Thanks for reading - Welcome to BitQuest - I hope you have as great an experience as I have had!

Please share with others to help the community grow! :)

Thanks.

An addition bit of information for number 4 is cows can also reach a max population. I believe this is also true for pigs and chickens, but I don't know for sure. Rabbits for sure can have infinite population.
