📖 Game Guide

Private & safe

Every player owns a private world (50×50) generated entirely in a starting biome of your choice – nine options from Plains to Cherry Grove. Guests (via /tpa) can look but not build. Want to play together? /world invite <player> makes friends members of your world: they build, craft and run maps there and can visit anytime with /world visit – even while you're offline. Up to 8 members per world.

Fresh start anytime

/world new deletes your world and resets your character completely – level, stat points, inventory, gold and achievements. Confirm with /world confirm, then pick a new biome and receive a fresh set of Magic starter gear.

Always home

Dying without a bed respawns you in your own world. Finishing or failing a map also brings you home. The hub is just the meeting point – your world is your base.

Boss & exit

You spawn at the west end, the boss waits at the east end – tracked on your locator bar. He leaps at you every few seconds and brings a bodyguard of ten. Kill him to unlock the exit, which takes you home with bonus gold and XP.

Random modifiers

Every map rolls 1–4 modifiers: more monster life, extra elemental damage, skeleton-only spawns, monsters that shatter into endermites, baby zombies, ±25% map size or timer and many more. Each modifier boosts monster effectiveness (+10–30%) and loot (+5–15%).

Fixed & fair

The monster count is rolled per map and then fixed – cleared is cleared. Each map has a random time limit (10–30 minutes) shown on your boss bar. Monsters are zombies, skeletons and endermites that scale with the map level up to level 50.

Rarities & affixes

Normal (no affixes), Magic (1–2) and Rare (4–6, up to 3 prefixes + 3 suffixes). Every affix rolls a tier from T8 to T1 – higher item levels unlock better tiers, and T1 rolls are genuinely rare.

Unidentified drops

Magic and Rare items drop unidentified – right-click them in your own world to reveal their affixes. Trade unidentified pieces in the auction house if you like to gamble.

Sockets & runes

Gear can roll up to three sockets (three is extremely rare). Fill them at a smithing table with runes – nine types (armor, evasion, energy shield, resistances, loot bonuses) in Small, Normal and Big.

Every slot matters

Swords, bows and crossbows (right-click to shoot, no arrows needed), helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots – plus an offhand: shields (block chance or thorns) and totems (loot auras, shield recharge) or arrows (projectile damage).

Delirium

A map modifier: a growing darkness spreads from your start point (1 block/s). Inside it you get the Darkness effect and your delirium % climbs (+1/s, decays outside). Monsters that spawn in it gain +1% life & damage per % and drop bonus loot – and the boss pays reward tiers for every 20% you reached, up to Lv 3 orbs, support gems and a 15% unique chance.

Rifts

20% of maps hold 1–2 rifts. Right-click the frame, then hold the 9-block ring for 30 seconds through six monster waves – leave it for 4 seconds and the rift collapses. Sealed rifts spill a guaranteed rare item (10% exceptional), orbs, runes, coins and often an essence.

⬢ Tablets drop from map bosses (8%), rare (1%) and magic monsters (0.3%). Click a tablet onto a map in your inventory (max 2 per map) to imprint a bonus for that map only – more loot/rarity, more packs, a guaranteed corrupted zone/delirium/rifts, ×3 essences or fragments, more gold, more time, +2 of every mechanic, or a tougher boss with double loot. Tablets survive Charting, Catalyst and Corruption.

Uber bosses

Map bosses drop fragments (1%, Catalyst 3%) of Ember, Frost, Storm or Void in tiers 1–3. Four identical fragments forge an Uber Map (Lv 20/35/50): the Pyre Lord, Frozen Monarch, Storm Herald or Void Watcher – ×4 life, ×1.6 damage, a special every 8 s and a phase 2 at 50%. Loot: a guaranteed unique, 50% Lv 2/3 orb, rare items, orbs, runes, a T2/T3 essence – and one fragment back.

World Boss Event

Every 4 hours (00/04/08/12/16/20 Berlin time) the chat counts down; sign up with /event join. Everyone is pulled into a tiny arena with one boss whose life and damage scale with the number of fighters. Enrage at 50%, frenzy at 20%. Afterwards everyone gets a loot cache – the more you dealt, tanked and healed, the more it holds; top damage/tank/healer get bonus items.

Pets

Very rare companions (0.1% map boss, 0.5% uber boss, 1% event cache): Allay, Fox, Cat, Parrot, Frog or Rabbit. They follow you, collect dropped loot within 7–10 blocks, bank gold coins instantly and store the rest in a 27-slot bag (right-click the pet or /pet). Shift-right-click recalls the pet; the bag stays stored.

Endless Tower

Delirious monsters drop Delirium Shards; nine of them forge a Tower Key. 30 waves in a void arena with your party, a boss every 5th wave and checkpoint loot after each boss – up to guaranteed uniques, Lv 3 orbs and Awakening Orbs at wave 30. Leave at the beacon whenever you like.

Corrupted Zones

15% of maps hide an altar in a ring of crying obsidian. Unleash it, kill every corrupted monster (×2 power) within 3 minutes and loot a Corruption Orb, corrupted rare items and more.

Wandering Merchant

Every 2 hours he camps somewhere in the SMP world (announced 30 minutes ahead with coordinates) and sells uniques, level orbs, essences, fragments, supports and more for gold – each piece once.

Essences

Eight categories × three tiers of guaranteed-category crafting: replace one random affix (or fill a free slot) with a roll from exactly the category you need. From loot-totem stages, rifts, magic/rare monsters, bosses and event caches. See the orb table above.

XP from maps only

Monsters give +5 × map level, the boss +50 ×, completing the map +100 ×. Roughly three maps for your first level-up, with the curve rising towards a soft cap at level 45 and the maximum of level 50. Dying costs 10% of your current level requirement – but never a level, and never your items.

2 stat points per level

Spend them in /stats: the three attributes (Strength, Agility, Intelligence), damage %, attack speed, the four elements (fire, ice, lightning, chaos – flat and %), armor, evasion, energy shield, life and life regeneration, plus elemental resistances (cap 74%).

Passive skill tree

/passives gives you 2 more points per level-up for seven trees: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, the hybrids Vanguard, Shadow and Crusader, plus the loot tree Fortune. Every slot is a node; neighbours connect, so paths branch and rejoin – and the trees link to each other at their bottom corners. Each tree holds 3 Medium Keys and 3 Keystones with build-defining mechanics like Blood Magic, Iron Reflexes, Soul Vessel or Riposte.

The Archive

/archive is a separate tree with its own pool of 4 points per level-up (at level 50 you can allocate all 180 nodes). Four pages full of passives that only affect maps and their mechanics: I · Cartography (size – switchable to smaller maps –, time, monsters, XP, gold, extra modifiers, map levels), II · Relics (crates, chests, totems, vases, loot totems, boss loot, orbs), III · Expeditions (rifts, delirium, fragments, essences, uber loot, world-boss score, map drops) and IV · Regions (loot per environment, non-overworld maps, modifier effectiveness, speedrun gold, party loot). Keystones include Full Vault, Chaos Charting (+1 maximum map modifier), Riftwalker, Delirious Mind, Nemesis, Cartographer's Gambit, Twin Bosses and Regional Master. The four pages form a ring.

Three attributes

Strength gives life and life regeneration, Agility gives evasion and accuracy, Intelligence gives mana and mana regeneration. Every gear piece requires one of them (scaling with item level, shown in its tooltip) – wear something you don't qualify for and only its attribute bonuses stay active. Attributes also roll as affixes: single ones as prefixes, combined pairs and “+X to all attributes” as suffixes.

Character sheet

/char shows every effective value including gear: damage breakdown per element, armor reduction, evade chance, energy shield, resistances with caps, loot bonuses, movement and on-hit effects. Armor only blocks physical damage – each resistance blocks its own element.

SMP world

/smp opens one classic survival world for everyone: 30,000×30,000 blocks, normal generation with structures, plus its own Nether and End (portals link only the SMP dimensions). The spawn is protected against building, breaking and explosions; deaths without a bed bring you back to the SMP spawn. Your private world stays completely separate.

Quests

/quests holds three boards: Daily (3 rotating goals from a pool of 15, reset midnight – 400 gold + 1 orb each), Weekly (3 bigger goals from 16, reset Monday – 2,500 gold + 2 quality orbs) and Lifetime – 14 tiered chains from 100 kills to 1,000,000 gold earned with rewards up to Level-2/3 orbs. Tracked automatically across 18 activities: kills, bosses, maps, vases, chests, orbs, identifies, runes, gem combines, casts, crits, evades, XP, party maps, gold, sealed rifts, world-boss events and your level. Finished quests glow – click to claim.

One-row health HUD

Your hearts always stay a single row of 10 – as your maximum life grows, they change color instead: red → gold → yellow → green → aqua → blue → purple → white. Poison, wither and freezing tint the row, low life pulses dark red, and your ⛨ energy shield is displayed right next to it. Comes as a tiny auto-download resource pack – accept it when joining.

Earning gold

Monsters drop gold coins (right-click to bank them). On top: playtime bonus, achievements, votes on server lists and map completion bonuses. New players start with 1,000 gold – enough for two maps.

Login streak

Log in daily and the reward grows: 100 gold on day one up to 500 gold every day from day seven. Miss a day and the streak resets!

Auction house

Sell gear, maps, runes and any item via /ah sell <gold> – or price it in orbs: /ah sell 2 mastery. Browse and buy with one click in /ah. Sales are delivered even while you are offline. Buy orders: hold a sample and /ah want <gold each> [amount] escrows your gold – sellers fill the order under /ah → Buy Orders, and /ah sell at or below your offer fills it instantly (commodities only: orbs, essences, gems, runes, fragments, maps, materials).

Basic shop

/shop covers the essentials: buy and sell food and basic building blocks (bread, steak, torches, stone, wood, glass and more) for gold – plus every workstation the crafting systems need: crafting table, furnace, smithing table and anvil. New players can grab starter gear on its own page: a random Magic level-1 base for every slot – weapons, armor, offhands, bow, arrows and now pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, spear and staff – at 25 gold each, already identified. Lecterns (chest sorting) are in the shop too. The shop also buys anything you hold: maps for gold (scaling with map level), gear for a random ✦ Orb Shard (nine shards of a kind craft into that orb) and other items for a small flat price. Everything valuable still comes from maps and player trading.
