1. can we destroy other players buildigngs? or just kill the player and take theyre stuff?
2. can we light things on fire like buildings, trees,etc...
3. i know theyre towns of normal players but are threre any towns of thieves and murderes and stuff like that? and how can i become a ranger? ty
1. Yes, but for killing and attacking other players you need special skills (rage and murder). Also most people have their areas protected by claims. To destroy stuff in claimed area you need vandalism skill, and to steal from them - theft skill. All those stuff leave scents, which can be used to track you down and kill even when you are offline.
2. no
3. Yes, there are. To become a ranger you need ranging skill, and some good amount of perception and exploration, to see scents and be able to track them.

You have to plow and pave (lay stone) the area where you want to place the cabin.

As for coords, you need ender's client i believe.

It requires searching for recognizable terrain on the algerith map, try for river/lake patterns, mountains, and swamps, anything nearby that might be unique looking.

Just want to correct this. No matter which client you use, you don't get the coordinates of where you're at. The center point is randomized every time you do a map change: enter/exit a house, cave, etc.

If you're near a major village (or any village) or run into a friendly neighbor, you can always try asking them for the location, too. You'll probably need to post on the forum with the village name as many villagers won't converse with outsiders for safety reasons.

You drop/put what ever you want to trade in a box, and the other person does the same. Or you can set up vending stands and bartering stands, but that won't come for you until later in the game.

Yes, barter stands and vending stands. Those are built in player villages.

Don't expect to run across many. They're very buggy and unsecure. If you want to trade, you need to try and meet your neighbors either in-game or on the forum.
