StateCraft is an engaging Minecraft server located in the United States, operating under version 1.21.1. It offers a unique Anarchy Vanilla+ MMORPG experience, enhanced by a custom set of plugins designed to facilitate the establishment of cities, nations, and empires. This server introduces heightened stakes through its reinforcement system, which is inspired by the game's mechanics in Rust, allowing players to protect their structures. Additionally, players have the ability to imprison others, adding a layer of strategy to their interactions. With XP disabled, players must progress through the expansive FactoryMod tech tree, encouraging cooperation and resilience among players to withstand raiders and griefers. The need to band together and colonize different areas becomes crucial for survival and advancement in this environment.
The server includes several core mods that elevate the gameplay experience. RealisticPlantGrowth mandates exploration and colonization since crops and trees are biome-specific, while the Citadel mod allows for the reinforcement of structures using various materials, providing a means of protection that lasts until damaged. The FactoryMod expands the late-game experience and necessitates collaboration, as it outlines the only method for creating XP through combined resources. Players can also utilize the ExilePearl plugin to implement their own justice systems, imprisoning or exiling others, which promotes a self-regulated social structure. Additional gameplay mods, such as AuraSkills, Craftorithm, TreeFeller, and VeinMeiner, further enhance the MMORPG feel by introducing skills, custom crafting recipes, and streamlined resource gathering, making the game more enjoyable and engaging.
