History
Devoted Hell began as a late night idea by Convoy. He put together a launch trailer with no real intentions for a server.

The server was announced on December 28, 2020 and launched on January 15, 2021

World
Devoted Hell takes place entirely in The Nether. There are only five biomes: Nether Wastes, Soul Sand Valley, Crimson Forest, Warped Forest, Basalt Deltas. The world height is 256m including bedrock, twice as high as the vanilla Nether (128m).

The world is divided into four shards: Asmodeus, Brimstone, Cerberus, and Deracinate, often abbreviated to just A, B, C, and D. The shards are arranged in a straight line starting with Asmodeus in the south and ending with Deracriante in the north. Each shard has a size of 4096x4096m (the size of 8x8 Minecraft regions). You can see which shard you are in on the player list (press Tab).

Shards have different difficulties due to their HiddenOre rates and reinforcement configurations. If you die in a shard and haven't set your spawn in that same shard, you'll randomly spawn in that shard. Pearls cannot be moved between shards.

Lobby
The lobby is a separate world with a tutorial, quests, and a PvP training area.

Asmodeus
Asmodeus is the starting shard. It ranges from z=+4096 to z=0, sharing a world border with Brimstone.

The starting shard has no Diamond or Ancient Debris, and Towny is installed on this shard. All other ores have the worst spawn rates, and the growth rates for plants is the worst out of all the shards as well.

HellCorp is located in this shard.

Brimstone
Ranges from z=0 to z=-4096. This shard was the least active during the first few weeks of the server, with much of its player activity being travelers to other shards.

Heck is located here.

Cerberus
Ranges from z=-4096 to z=-8192. It was the most active shard during the first weeks of the server, most likely due to it being a happy medium between difficulty, ore spawns, crop growth rates, and the like.

Nations include Alexandria, Arcation, Harrow, and Inferno.

Deracinate
The hardest shard. Ranges from z=-8192 to z=-12288.

Nations include Carbon and Helios.

Plugins
In addition to the typical Civ plugins, Devoted Hell uses several plugins that are typically not found on other Civ servers.
