'''[[Civcraft 3.0]]''' (also known as '''Civcraft: Worlds''' or simply '''3.0''') was the final iteration of the [[Civcraft]] line of servers. Announced at the end of [[Civcraft 2.0]], the admins wanted the iteration to be more ambitious by being the first Civ iteration to introduce sharding, a way of breaking up the server into pieces and handle the massive load of players, and also overhaul Citadel and FactoryMod to make a slower, RPG-like progression. After the end of [[CivTemp]] in May 2016, its launch was [https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4t7eb6/status_update_3_launch_delayed_for_map_quality/ delayed by two weeks] in July due to cave generation issues. 3.0 [https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4vcdwm/30_launch_day_post_2_electric_boogaloo/ was launched] on July 30, 2016 with 15 unique shards.

The '''[[World Police]]''' (abbreviated '''WP''') has been a label used to describe various people, groups, and organizations throughout almost all of Civ history. The uniting characteristic of those who've earned the moniker "World Police", whether organized or unorganized is the heavy involvement in international combat operations. This usually involves bounty hunting raiders but also more notably taking part in wars against PVP-oriented groups, such as the [[HCF]]. The origins of the World Police date back to the formal organisation that beared the name on [[Civcraft 1.0]], evolving into a more informal network of fighters on [[Civcraft 2.0]] before becoming the formal patchwork of alliances of nations on [[CivClassic 2.0]] that most are familiar with. Across all servers, opinions on the WP are mixed as many not only associate them with crime fighting but also alt-raiding, sovereignty-breaching, and permapearling.
