+# Capture the Flag Help
+
+### Basics
+* Click the opposite team's flag to take it.
+Then, click your team's flag before the enemy takes it in order to capture.
+* Each team has a team chest; put useful items in there and **never** take more than you need!
+
+### Modes
+* CTF cycles through three modes: Classes, Nade Fight, and Classic.
+* At the end of each mode, you get to vote for how many matches of the next mode you would like to play.
+
+* In Classes, right-click your team's flag to change classes.
+It's helpful to read the description of the items your class is given.
+* In Nade Fight, right-click your grenade to switch between three types of nade.
+* In Classic, eat apples to heal and find ores to craft better swords.
+
+### Tips & Tricks
+* Sneak while jumping to jump up two blocks.
+* Start your messages with `/t` to send a message only visible to teamates.
+* Sprint by pressing the fast key (`E` by default).
+* Use `/r` to check your rank.
+* Use `/m` to add a team marker at pointed location.
+* Use `/s` to check the current and previous match summary.
+* Use `/top50` to see the leaderboard.
+* Use `/team` to check all team members.
+* Use `/donate <player> <score>` to donate scores to a player.
+* Use `/lb` to see a list of bountied players.
+* Use `/msg` <player> to send a PM to a player.
