Minecraft Server // Public Release
Opening the floodgates.
Public Release Notes
This server has been live for over 7 years as a semi-private SMP but we are now expanding the server to be public. Over these years we have developed quite a unique vanilla-ish experience that maintains the feeling of vanilla with a few QoL additions and well, more loot!
Economy
In terms of the core aspect of the systems there is the custom economy we have developed in-house that nobody else has access to, making it ours to control and tweak at our will. Players can buy and sell items from and from the server, or create orders that the server or players can fill.
While it is somewhat automated in the backend, it largely thrives from player support. If players don't contribute, the servers reserves and balance don't become fully utilized. In the future we plan to expand this out even more.
Custom Loot
Before building out any plugins our server always had custom items like weapons and tools with unique textures and abilities just from data packs alone. Minecraft never felt the same since, and because our SMP had dedicated textures for gear, we decided to ramp the meaning behind each item making it feel unique. With the dozens of different items we have available, one by one we have started converting these to have their own abilities and feels to them, adjusting damages, utilities, and even abilities. Some are quality of life, some are meant for slaying armies, some are just fun.
The items went from being obtained in random chests around the world to packaged in a crate system. These are opened with keys in an entirely play to win system. Our core value is to keep it that way for as long as possible, placing the power in the hands of the player rather than in their wallet.
These can be earned from venders, hourly rewards, daily logins, and other various ways like quests and dungeons but we can get into those in another post going more into detail about how the systems all work together.
Protecting Progress
With all the blocks and items you accumulate overtime, we have systems in place to claim your land as well as store your items. Building massive structure only to come back and see them in lava casts can be heartbreaking so we utilize SimpleClaimSystem to protect our builds.
The Stash
In terms of items we have developed a one of a kind system built alongside our market to safely store your items. Introducing Stash, an easy to use GUI menu that stores all your items in one place. It can hold thousands of items at once at the cost of upgrading the storage space. You can quickly search what you need to make your builds come to life, and if you don't have those items, you can simply make an order or buy from the market and have those items sent directly to your stash for safekeeping.
Homes
Another quality of life are homes. Most servers have homes but they aren't as customizable as ours. Select the item icon, rename them, set multiple, do as you wish to create your own network on the world.
Firearms, Turrets & More
What makes the experience even more unique is we have a plethora of firearms and utility items to be obtained from the loot, or by unlocking their blueprints to craft for yourself!
Upon release there are:
- M4A1
- Glock
- Deagle
- Heavy Grenade Launcher
- Modded Variants (Upgraded Stats)
Turrets can be upgraded to improve their stats like range, damage, fire rate, health, and armor.
Other utility items include various grenades as well as containers like the Ammo Box, Tool Case, and Armor Case. These can hold different types of items in a neat and orderly way. Use the item to open it and withdraw or deposit items, or drag an item over the container to deposit it quickly.
Blueprints were mentioned earlier, those are accessible in our custom workbench. This custom block has all of your workstations in one place as well as a place to learn blueprints. Say goodbye to setting up 5 different stations to make a simple house and say hello to the workbench!
