New Player Guide (CivMC): Difference between revisions

'''Civ101''' is a guide intended for teaching new players the necessary mechanics for Civ servers, particularly [[CivMC]]. '''For an updated version, please visit [https://wiki.civmc.net wiki.civmc.net]'''.

 

The CivMC discord is the main hub for communication. You can receive help from players, mods or admins concerning any problems you might have, either through community support or the ticket system. It’s also a place to discover nations that are open to recruiting in the ads section. Or a place to conduct commerce with players all across the server in the market forum.

 

* Nation-Ads: a place for nations to advertise their country and why you should join them.

 

 

To make a group simply perform the command '''/nlcreategroup''' (or /nlcg) and then the name for the group you’d like to make.

=== Reinforcing ===

A mechanic called Orebfuscastion turns some blocks like chests to stone when far away from a player. This is to prevent cheaters from finding hidden blocks.

 

Every time a block that could contain ores is broken there's a chance ores will spawn around the player. Ores spawned this way depend on the Y level with spawn rates similar to vanilla ore distribution. So mining can be done at the same y-level for every ore like you'd do in vanilla Minecraft. Diamond ores '''only''' spawn in veins.

 

Netherite pickaxes provide a multiplier to ore spawn rate, and give diamond veins a chance to spawn multiple ores at once, instead of only 1 per discovery as per normal for diamond tools and below. Making Netherite tools a worthwhile investment for any miner.

 

Reinforced note blocks and jukeboxes act like CCTV cameras for players. These blocks relay player actions in their 23x23 range. They're often referred to as "Snitches". Snitches are only accessible to players who are on the same [[NameLayer]] group as the snitch.

Whenever a player kills another player with an ender pearl in their hotbar the killed player will be banished to the nether, and will have no way to escape. This act of banishing is called "pearling". It is what allows players to enforce their own rules and facilitates high risk combat. When pearled the player will spawn in the nether where they will have to live until they are either released by their captor, stolen and released by their allies or destroyed. A player can broadcast the location of their pearl to a group by performing the command '''/ep broadcast''' followed by the group name.

 

The nether cannot be accessed by vanilla obsidian portals. Instead there are end portals spread out over the world at bedrock. Traversing these portals will spawn the player at the roof of the nether below another reversed end portal structure. These portals are also the only way out besides dying for players.

 

Factories allow for efficient crafting of a lot of items. Often giving a better rate of return than normal. A good example is the ore smelter which will convert 16 diamond ore into 48 diamonds. All factories and their recipes can be viewed by performing the command '''/fm'''.

Netherite, like XP, can only be produced using the appropriate factory, in this case the Advanced ore smelter factory. The recipe for Netherite is: 24 emeralds (xp), 8 gold ingots, 8 player essence and 12 ancient debris to produce 1 Netherite ingot. There are also specialized Netherite factories for armor and tools for cheaper production of these items. Find them in the '''/fm''' menu.

 

Realistic Biomes is a plugin that gives '''each biome their own crops and trees with much longer grow times,''' making farming a lot more in depth or "realistic" as the name would suggest. No more can you grow cocoa beans on the north pole, or spruce trees in the desert. This is important for the economy of the server, making it so that no one person can grow it all on their small island but instead forcing expansion or trade amongst nations and players. Thus also making XP much harder to acquire on your own, forcing cooperation among players even more so to achieve higher states of play.

===City Bastion===

The recipe for vault bastions can be found in the '''/fm''' menu.

As you can see above we input a name-tag in the top left corner of the chest, and place other items (this can be any combination of items, even items already named with wordbank) anywhere else inside. (stone in this example) Then running the factory will result in the other items being consumed and the first item being named. Make sure to remember the items used as input if you want to reproduce the result later!
