👥 Who Can Join the Server?

  • Friends of Friends
  • Communities of Streamers
  • Strangers from Around the World
    • Found through public posts (Instagram, Server Lists, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, etc.)

🔄 Player Entry Process

To join the server, the following steps must be completed:

  1. Join the Discord
    Players must join the Discord server and accept the rules (standard procedure).
  2. Receive a Link via Private Message
    A bot will send a private message with a link to the player.
  3. Fill Out the Form
    The link leads to our website, where players must complete a registration form. The form requires a word combination from the rulebook and the player's Minecraft username.
  4. Whitelist Entry
    Once the form is submitted, the player will be added to the Minecraft server's whitelist.

📜 Regions

  • Claiming a Region
    Players can claim regions using a Claim Stone (or Claim Obelisk).

  • Region Structure
    A region consists of multiple chunks (aligned with Minecraft's 16x16 chunk system).

  • Size Restrictions
    Regions must adhere to specific size ratios.

  • Chunk Pricing
    Each new chunk has a base cost, which increases as the region expands.

    To maintain protection from the Claim Stone:

    • The Claim Stone must be "fed" with resources (e.g., money or valuable items).
    • If no resources are available, the last claimed chunk will be released after a 2-day grace period.
    • Team members authorized to manage the region will receive a direct message on Discord notifying them of the chunk's expiration.

🏗️ Region Development Stages

Regions go through different development stages, growing in size based on the number of players and the overall wealth of the team. Below is an example of these stages:

  • 1-2 Players: 4 chunks (2x2) [Lime] (+4 additional chunks)
  • 3-6 Players: 16 chunks (4x4) [Orange] (+12 additional chunks)
  • 7-12 Players: 32 chunks (6x6) [Red] (+16 additional chunks)
  • 13-20 Players: 64 chunks (8x8) [Black] (+32 additional chunks)
  • 30+ Players: 100 chunks (10x10) [Bedrock] (+36 additional chunks)
  • (More stages can be added as the project evolves.)
