The 50Craft Minecraft server, running version 1.20.1 in the United States, offers players a range of adventurous experiences, including exploring worlds of perpetual night, scaling towering heights, and embarking on extensive underwater journeys. The primary feature that distinguishes this server from others is the role of artifacts, which serve as a focal point for gameplay. Rather than engaging solely in faction PvP raids, players can focus on creating impressive structures known as artifacts. These artifacts can take many forms, from elaborate castles to magnificent bridges, and players earn rewards based on their creativity and design prowess. To have an artifact recognized, builders must submit documentation, including pictures and coordinates, for admin approval. Successful artifacts grant builders credits and a steady income until they are captured or destroyed. However, players must protect their creations while also being cautious about revealing their faction base's location.
Artifacts hold significant value within the server's economy, as credits earned can be used for various in-game purposes, such as purchasing land in the safer Hub world, where bases and shops can be established. Although this area offers more security compared to the PvP zones, faction bases can be targeted through a buyout system, whereby rival factions can bid to take control of the land. The process requires a substantial investment, allowing factions to challenge each other for territory. Additionally, players can use credits to create portals linking the main world to their faction bases, facilitating travel. The server also features a plugin known as Runecraft, which enables players to manipulate the environment significantly, including creating enchantments and teleporters and adjusting the landscape. However, players should note that not all features of Runecraft may be available. Overall, 50Craft provides a rich and engaging environment for Minecraft enthusiasts to build, battle, and explore.
