# Get Started
{% hint style="info" %}
**Reminder:** Unless specified, Dungeon Type will be named `Ruins` and world `dungeon` will be used throughout the whole Wiki. Change it accordingly.
{% endhint %}
Dungeon Group is the type of dungeon, all dungeon instances share the same arguments. But dungeon-specific arguments like origin, and player spawns are automatically calculated.
There are multiple ways to create Dungeon Group depending on how the dungeon should be loaded. Only 1 of the following methods should be chosen when creating a new Dungeon Group.
Follow [Build from scratch](#build-from-scratch) if you:
* Want to start everything fresh and clean
Follow [With existing dungeon built in world](#with-existing-dungeon-built-in-world) if you:
* Have a Dungeon built in world and want to use it
Follow [With pre-built schematic](#with-pre-built-schematic) if you:
* Have a schematic file with the Dungeon you want to use
Follow [With all Dungeon Instances built in world](#with-existing-dungeon-built-in-world) if you:
* Have all dungeon instances prebuilt in the world
{% hint style="info" %}
If all dungeon instances are prebuilt in the world, and `Length`, `Width`, and `Height` of the dungeon is defined, it is highly recommended to have `RestoreTerrains` disabled in `general.yml`. So that the terrain will not be unnecessarily restored. Beware of world interactions such as block breaking/placement or explosions, as the terrain is not restored.
{% endhint %}
However, it is still highly recommended to have a schematic file prepared or create Dungeon Group through `/mg creator` so that Dungeon dimensions and location are calculated automatically.
Build from scratch:
#### Preparing Dungeon
* Join the server
* Build a dungeon whatever you want (it does not have to be a cuboid, but it has to be selectable by 2 points)
* 
#### Creator Command
* Type `/mg creator` to start creating a new Dungeon Group
* Enter a unique Dungeon Group ID (no spaces)
* Enter a display name for the Dungeon Group
#### Select Dungeon Area
* Type `//wand` to get a WorldEdit wand
* Select 2 corners like this, the selected area should include everything in your dungeon
* 
* Type `//copy` to copy the Dungeon Area into WorldEdit's clipboard
* Type `done` to complete copying Dungeon area
The Creator Command will then save the area you have selected into clipboard, and it will be used for this Dungeon Group.
#### Defining Spawn Point
* Stand at the player Spawn Point of the dungeon, then type `add`
* Type `done` to complete defining player Spawn Point
* Type `done` again to save Dungeon Group
With existing dungeon built in world:
#### Preparing Dungeon
* Join the server
* Go to where your Dungeon is
* 
#### Creator Command
* Type `/mg creator` to start creating a new Dungeon Group
* Enter a unique Dungeon Group ID (no spaces)
* Enter a display name for the Dungeon Group
#### Select Dungeon Area
* Type `//wand` to get a WorldEdit wand
* Select 2 corners like this, the selected area should include everything in your dungeon
* 
* Type `//copy` to copy the Dungeon Area into WorldEdit's clipboard
* Type `done` to complete copying Dungeon area
The Creator Command will then save the area you have selected into clipboard, and it will be used for this Dungeon Group.
#### Defining Spawn Point
* Stand at the player Spawn Point of the dungeon, then type `add`
* Type `done` to complete defining player Spawn Point
* Type `done` again to save Dungeon Group
With pre-built schematic:
* Join the server
* Type `//schem load ` to load schematic in WorldEdit/FastAsyncWorldEdit into clipboard
* Type `//paste` to place the schematic in world
* 
#### Creator Command
* Type `/mg creator` to start creating a new Dungeon Group
* Enter a unique Dungeon Group ID (no spaces)
* Enter a display name for the Dungeon Group
#### Select Dungeon Area
* Type `//wand` to get a WorldEdit wand
* Select 2 corners like this, the selected area should include everything in your dungeon
* Type `//copy` to copy the Dungeon Area into WorldEdit's clipboard
* Type `done` to complete copying Dungeon area
The Creator Command will then save the area you have selected into clipboard, and it will be used for this Dungeon Group.
#### Defining Spawn Point
* Stand at the player Spawn Point of the dungeon, then type `add`
* Type `done` to complete defining player Spawn Point
* Type `done` again to save Dungeon Group
With all Dungeon Instances built in world:
* ~~Join the server~~
* ~~Define `Row`, `Column`, `RowGap`, `ColumnGap` in `general.yml` depending on how many dungeon instances you want, total number of instances is `row * column`~~
* ~~Define `Length`, `Width`, `Height` of the dungeon schematic in `general.yml` depending on which corner the schematic is copied from. `Length` spans on z-axis positive, `Width` spans on x-axis positive, `Height` spans on y-axis positive. Use negative value if it spans oppositely~~
* ~~Paste the schematic in pre-defined dungeon instance location~~
* ~~Modify the files if needed~~
* ~~Type `/md reload group` to reload Dungeon Group~~
Once everything is set up, these files will be found in `MythicDungeons/groups` directory:
* schematics/
* Ruins.schem *(required)*
* [buffs.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/buffs.yml.md)
* [checkpoints.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/checkpoints.yml.md)
* [general.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/general.yml.md) *(required)*
* [lootchests.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/lootchests.yml.md)
* [stages.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/stages.yml.md) *(required)*
* [teleporters.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/teleporters.yml.md)
* [traps.yml](/wiki/get-started/dungeon-group-config/traps.yml.md)
Dungeon Group is now loaded and ready for testing purposes. You will find all .yml files are empty except for `general.yml` and `stages.yml`, it is normal, rest of them enhance the dungeon gameplay and are not necessary.
Type `/mr menu` and select the newly created Dungeon Group to verify if everything is set properly.
The Dungeon Group is now all set. However, the Dungeon Group has no gameplay content. You will want to modify the Dungeon Group config to enhance dungeon gameplay now.
