Gameplay

This section covers the World layer — the rhythms, terrain, and conventions that shape how the world feels to live in.

What this section covers

• Day/night cycle — long days, short nights, and one-player sleep
• Building & claiming — Wards, land etiquette, mega-build coordination
• Exploring the world — the reworked Overworld, Nether, and End
• Landmarks & structures — an atlas of what to find and loot
• Furniture & decoration — the decoration kit for finishing a base

What's vanilla

• All the basic gameplay loops (mining, fighting, crafting, building)
• All vanilla blocks, mobs, recipes
• Vanilla physics
• Vanilla world rules (gravity, growth, weather, mob spawns)

What's tweaked

The gameplay mechanic tweaks are documented in Tools & Quality → Quality of life — that's the comprehensive list. Most are small papercut fixes (path blocks give a speed bonus, double doors sync, totems work in any inventory slot, etc.).

Difficulty

The server runs on Normal — standard vanilla combat and mob damage. Hunger can drain you low but won't starve you to death, and there's no hardcore or keep-inventory. If you die, items drop but a Recovery Chest catches them.

Build safety

No promise beats prevention: ward your build and the server enforces your claim — nobody outside your member list can touch it (see Building & claiming). And if something does go wrong, the rollback system records block changes so staff can reverse grief and accidents.

Sleep

Hop into a Red Bed bed and one sleeper skips the night for the whole server — no quorum needed. You can even sleep in the daytime, and your nearby crops grow while you rest. See Day/night cycle for the full clock.
