===First Beta ===
Released on April 9th, 2022, at 12pm EST, the first beta saw various successes, albeit with some much needed fixes. A tournament was held as well, to help rally up support, (along with giving people something to do during a much-needed reset to fix some problems with the resource pack), and was won by [[Bob_The_Builder]] after some minor errors allowed them to be respawned and duel off against a previous opponent, winning themselves a 20 dollar gift card. The first beta has officially ended on September 30th, 2022.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/874786745600856114/874787072991436830/968212906971901992</ref> However, as the Beta progressed, a larger issue was revealed in terms of balancing. Rather than production and resource collection fostering trade and innovation, as was the goal, the inclusion of the plugin "Descent" took control of the economy and progression of the server. Though fun initially, as time wore on and the server became more mature, it was stated that CivReign was a "descent server with civ mechanics, not a civ server with descent." Further, due to the instability of the plugin and its nature to cause severe lag spikes, the decision was made to cut descent and overhaul the entirety of the server.
 
===Server Release===
On December 31st, 2022, at 7pm EST, the official release of the server was dated for January 27th, 2023. While it has been confirmed certain elements from the previous beta such as Descent has been removed, various other plugins and additions have been added in order to facilitate the growing vision of the server, including an overhaul of the tech tree, various additional plugins to help facilitate the need of travel and economics, but will still include the preban lists, and a new ruling being placed outright banning botting. Along with that, on January 9th, a hint was given to the release time, which would be followed up the next day as 5 pm EST, or 10 PM UTC. The release was forced to be pushed back to February 17th, 2023 due to prior unforeseen issues with the map of the server. Though the map was overhauled, it forced the team to wait until it was no longer feasible to get all mechanics ready and tested for the January 27th launch. To compensate, the CivReign team has begun releasing more teasers to maintain interest until release day.
 
== Server Rules ==
CivReign's full rules may be found [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/962079741391802368/1066873373025632347/Copy_of_CivReign_Rule_Book.pdf here,] but a synopsis can be seen below:

===Botting Gameplay Rules===▼
*'''Cheating is against the rules. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:'''
**Using xray or any other kind of tool to retrieve information about blocks that would not be retrievable in a vanilla client
**Using auto clickers, kill aura, reach or any other kind of client side modification which gives a direct advantage in PvP combat.
** Using fast break, interact hacks or any other kind of modification allowing behavior which is impossible to achieve with a vanilla client.
**Intentionally exploiting unintended mechanics to circumvent major aspects of the server's balance.
** Abusing bugs of any kind, especially item duplication.
 
▲===Botting Rules===
 
*Bots are allowed to read any inventory, their selected hot bar slot, their own location, their health, their hunger, their potion effects, their EXP, their boss bar, chat messages, kick reasons, player logins/logouts, the tab list and nothing else.
*Reading environmental data in particular is not allowed. This includes the location of any entities and any block.
* You are only allowed to read server provided chat messages, not ones generated by client side mods
* If you are developing your own botting framework, different rules may apply so that your bot obeys the laws of physics. Contact an admin if you need further clarification
*Bots/scripts are not allowed to automate mining or the building of infrastructure. If you are unsure if your bot meets requirements, reach out to the admin team for clarification.
 
===General Rules===
 
*Assisting another player in avoiding a ban or otherwise circumventing the rules is bannable. Entrapping or threatening another player into avoiding a ban or otherwise circumventing the rules is also bannable.
 
* King of the Ashes (KOTA) playstyles are prohibited.

==Plugins==
 
=== Citadel===
[[File:Citadel.jpg|thumb|Citadel Infographic (by Seekinq)]]
[[File:Bastions.jpg|thumb|Bastion Infrographic (by Seekinq)]]
Citadel allows placed blocks to be reinforced. This makes griefing more difficult; however, reinforcing a block costs resources. These resources vary depending on the server. CivReign's resources and their assigned values are listed in the table below. This plugin works by requiring reinforcement blocks under a foreign group to require multiple block breaks before the block is finally destroyed. When the block has been broken the designated number of times(based on the reinforcement material) it will look like a regular block. The amount of times a block must be broken depends on the level of reinforcement used. In order to break reinforced blocks more efficiently, multiple players can break the same block simultaneously.

=== Descent===
After the official end of CivEx, Descent was left without a home, until the suggestion of the Reign staff team led to Kannon contacted Samnrad and EarthComputer about their plugin, eventually leading to the pair officially joining the Reign's team, finishing the final touches on their plugin (Descent was essentially finished by the end of CivEx). The current status of Descent is unknown as to whether or not it will be in full release as it is not planned to be added in the second beta.
 
In game, Descent "caves" are spawned randomly when mining and are shown as shulker boxes but have a custom look when using the server texture pack. To enter a cave, a player must click on the chat message and they will be teleported to a new dimension. A player can leave the cave by either exiting through the same portal or by typing <code>/descent leave</code> in chat, however this has a 15 minute cooldown. Each cave is procedurally generated and therefore has it's own unique mobs, ores, fauna, and terrain. These caves are necessary to obtain certain materials that are not available in the default dimension but are required to advance along the tech-tree.<ref>Dev Diary 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/CivReign/comments/qx3sdh/development_diary_1_its_the_little_things/</ref>
