Getting started
Your first life
Everything between installing the game and your first rank-up — the race choice, the first-join flow, and the keys your hands need to learn.
Step zero: install
The launcher handles the pack, the mod loader, and updates. If you haven't installed yet, start there.
The choice
Pick your race
Shinigami
Home: Soul Society
Soul reapers who climb the seated ranks to Head Captain.

First-join flow
Your first hour
The Race Selector opens
On your very first join, BleachCraft asks the only question that matters: Shinigami, Quincy, or Hollow. This sets your home dimension, your starting kit, and your entire progression ladder — choose like it's permanent.
You receive a clan
A clan name is rolled for you from the canon families — it's part of your identity, and a Clan Reroll item exists if fate misfires.
Make the face you'll die in
The appearance customizer opens next. Take your time; the kill feed will be reading your name a lot.
Wake up at home
You're teleported to your race's home dimension — Soul Society, Silbern, or Hueco Mundo. This is your hub for training, quests, and rank-ups.
Open the Quest Journal
Chapter 1 of your race's story is already waiting, alongside daily and weekly side quests. Quests are the spine of progression — XP, Soul Points, rank unlocks, and your first taste of power all flow from them.
