You managed to install Tekkit and have no clue what to do? You've come to the right place.

Joining a server

The Techworld Tekkit Server is one of the best servers out there, featuring a full economy system, Towns and great community, as well as friendly staff.

Controls

First of all, there are varying controls from the Minecraft Vanilla game.

Inventory

• R - When you hover over one of the items in your inventory or the new sidebar added by the NEI mod with your mouse and press R, you can see its Recipe. This is great for learning all the recipes without having to look them up online.
• U - When you hover one of the items in your inventory with your mouse and press U, you can see in what crafting recipes it is used. Useful when you mine an ore and don't know what the hell it's for.

Other controls

M - Added by Industrial Craft - Toggles various modes for the currently equipped tool. The Electric Wrench has two modes for example. V - Equivalent Exchange - +1 Charge Sneak + V - Equivalent Exchange - -1 Charge C - Equivalent Exchange - Alternate option, some items have it, others don't. G - Equivalent Exchange - Activate option, if an item can be activated. R - Equivalent Exchange - Use option, many items just use right click. Some items have an extra function tied to R.

New Blocks

• Marble - found in caves, quite common. Useful for making decorative Marble Bricks.
• Basalt - Found when mining Volcanoes
• Copper Ore - For making electric cables in Industrial Craft
• Tin Ore - Useful metal in Industrial Craft
• Uranium Ore - Hmmm.... What could you possibly do with Uranium???
• Tungsten Ore - Useless. Seriously. You can't do anything with it. Literally. Just throw it in a Recycler and get some Scrap
• Gems - Can be crafted into tools which are as strong as diamond tools, but have less durability.

Ores can now be found in the Nether too. See Nether Ores.

Industrialising

Once you have survived a couple of nights and set up a nice base, your first goal will be to gather enough iron to make a Generator and start producing some electricity!
