Amethyst Abyss is a newly launched Factions server for Minecraft, specifically for version 1.20.1, located in the United States. The server aims to enhance the standard Minecraft experience by incorporating elements that resemble light mods while ensuring that players do not need a modded client to enjoy these features. The focus is on maintaining an immersive gameplay experience, and the server's custom additions are designed to be functional and free from issues like glitchy textures or exploitative mechanics. A small resource pack of less than 5MB is available for players who want to view custom mobs, blocks, and collectibles, but using it is optional.
While many of Amethyst Abyss's features are still in the beta stage and may have some bugs, the server currently offers various engaging functionalities. Players can create their own shops, engage in jobs, and explore custom mobs, blocks, and collectibles. The server also includes the classic Factions gameplay and will soon implement a custom skills system. One of the standout features is an increased build height of 1024 blocks, which allows for greater creativity in construction. The developers are committed to improving the server continuously with daily bug fixes and the introduction of new features, ensuring a steady enhancement of the player experience.
