Quickstart

1. Use our official texture pack
   It’s great and very suitable for medieval fantasy.
   
2. Decide on a race for your character
   Are you Human? Elf? Dwarf? etc.
3. Get a suitable medieval fantasy skin for that race
   A good skin improves the role playing experience for everyone.
4. Read the rules
   Knowing the rules is a good idea even though they mostly are common sense.
   
5. Join a faction on the server
   The gameplay is quite faction centric. You should really join one. It’s fun.
   
6. Emerge into the RP universe and shape your destiny
   What is your profession? What is your characters goal in life?

Factions can forge alliances and declare themselves enemies with others. Read more about the Factions here

Vampire

Anyone can become a vampire, but do you want to? During daytime vampires cower from sunlight. During the night the humans reach for their holy water and wooden stakes as the vampires roam the lands with inhuman strength, speed and levitation-powers. Driven by their endless bloodlust, they devour all living in their way.

Sit in chairs

A chair is simply any kind of staircase. Right-click it while sneaking to sit down. Right-click the staircase again to stand up.

Changed game mechanics

• Compasses always point north.
  In vanilla minecraft the compasses point to the world spawn point or your home bed. Since our goal is survival realism we made the compass point north all the time on MassiveCraft.
• Fire won’t spread.
  This means you can safely craft a fireplace in your wooden house and that you don’t need to fear wildfires.
• Explosions are disabled.
  TNT and Creeper explosions will damage players and animals but not blocks.
• Endermen won’t move blocks.
  They usually do but on MassiveCraft they neither pick up nor place anything.
• Some blocks are dropped instead of destroyed.
  If you destroy a glowstone, bookshelf, dead bush or spiderweb on this server the block itself will drop as opposed to default minecraft behavior.
