Creative: Cannoning Additions

Our Creative server now features a new cannoning .jar.

Unfortunately, the previous cannoning .jar experienced some issues, which we believe have now been resolved.

Additionally, we've introduced PlotHider, allowing players to conceal their plots from others.

Towny: Battle Sessions

We've added Battle Sessions, designated time periods during which scoring and PvP kills contribute to the ongoing war.

For more details, consult the "/eventwar guide" book.

New Commands:
/eventwar battlesession - Displays information about the next battle session or the remaining time.
/eventwar battlesession bossbar - Toggles the battle session boss bar for a player.

Furthermore, non-peaceful towns now receive 2 War Tokens per Towny day.

Lobby: Gadgets

Cosmetics and Gadgets have made a comeback to the ExtremeCraft lobby!

This includes Hats, Animated Hats, Particles, Suits, Gadgets, Pets, Miniatures, Morphs, Banners, Emotes, Cloaks, and Mystery Boxes.

You can acquire cosmetic items by using Mystery Dust to purchase or open a Mystery Box.

As part of our ongoing appreciation for your active participation, we are thrilled to announce the top voters for the month of February 2024. Each month, we randomly select 10 players who have demonstrated unwavering commitment by accumulating a minimum of 200 votes. Without further ado, let's celebrate and acknowledge the outstanding contributors who have been rewarded with vouchers:

Let the votes keep rolling in! Happy voting!

We're thrilled to introduce new exciting features to enhance your gaming experience on ExtremeCraft:

Player Scores: Now, players' activity levels are quantified through a unique scoring system. The formula encompasses factors such as MinedBlocks, PlacedBlocks, MobKills, and PlayerKills, offering a comprehensive overview of engagement.

Player ELO Scores: Engage in PVP battles and watch your ELO rating evolve! This dynamic score is calculated based on the ELO ratings of both players involved in combat and is updated after every fight, providing an accurate representation of your combat prowess.

Enhanced Creative Experience: Schematics and More

In our latest update for the Creative server, we're excited to introduce:

Schematics Database

Create and download your own schematics directly in-game! Simply select your desired area, copy it to your WorldEdit clipboard with //copy, and save it using /schemdb save <name>. Access your saved schematics in the new "Schematics" section on our website, where you can download them for future use.

Easily load saved schematics using the /schemdb load <id> command, allowing for seamless pasting of saved creations.

Additionally, we're exploring the option for players to upload schematics, further expanding creative possibilities!

Towny: Introducing Wars

Posted by Dieu1 month ago

Introducing Wars

The latest Event War features a variety of war types to engage players in strategic conflicts:

  • Riot: Conflict within a single town where players choose sides between the city and rioters.
  • Town vs Town: Two towns battle against each other.
  • Civil War: Internal strife within a nation where towns align with either the capital or rebels.
  • Independence War: A town rebels against its own nation, with other towns choosing sides; rebel towns may secede upon victory.
  • Nation vs Nation: Two nations clash in all-out war.

Declarations of War are obtained using Tokens through the command /town redeem {wartype}. Tokens are earned by non-neutral towns each Towny newday, provided their nation is not neutral either. Towns actively engaged in war do not receive war tokens.

To understand server configuration, use the '/eventwar guide' command.

Declaration of War Books:

Players initiate wars using Declaration of War books, purchased with Tokens via the /town redeem command. Riot DoW books are the cheapest by default, with costs escalating for larger-scale wars. Therefore, riots and town wars occur more frequently than civil wars, nation wars, and global conflicts. Only towns within a nation can redeem tokens for civil, nation, and global war books.

To declare war, hold the book and use the /declare war [wartype] [arg] command, as specified in the books.

Surrendering:

In wars permitting surrender, players can opt to concede defeat. For Riot, Civil War, Independence War, Alliance War, and World War types, surrender is executed via the /surrender command.

Riots allow universal surrender, while Civil War permits only mayors to surrender their towns. World War requires a king's surrender for the entire nation.

During Riots with conquering enabled, the surrendering Mayor cedes control to the highest-scoring Rebel. Similarly, in Civil War, the surrendering King results in the highest-scoring Rebel Town becoming the new Capital.

In Town and Nation Wars, surrendering entities must propose terms, including White Peace, monetary compensation, town exchange, or a combination thereof. The opposing side reviews and accepts offers, leading to the exchange of assets.

War Resolution:

Various conditions dictate the end of different war types, ensuring conflicts don't persist indefinitely. For instance, Riots conclude when all surviving rioters are jailed or when key figures surrender.

Similarly, Towns and Nations can be eliminated through loss of key assets, such as homeblocks, leaders running out of lives, or successful surrender negotiations.

Alliance Wars end when participating nations withdraw or lose all towns. Civil and Independence Wars cease when the capital or all towns on either side are incapacitated, or when surrender is accepted. World Wars conclude when a single nation remains or when all nations ally.

Commands:

A variety of commands facilitate engagement and understanding of war mechanics, including /eventwar and /towny war for information and management purposes, /town redeem and /nation alliancewar request for resource management, /declare for initiating wars, and /surrender for conceding defeat with specified terms.
