🔄Changes Since Legacy
All changes made to Legacy World SMP for the release of Kings of Earth. This is ideal for veteran players as they will better understand how their gameplay will be different from the Legacy Edition.
Please keep in mind that the changes listed here are not in refined detail!
It is highly recommended that you thoroughly read through all the guides and important information sections to fully understand Kings of Earth (formally World SMP). Most mechanics from the Legacy Edition of World SMP are the same but have been either improved with quality of life changes or changed entirely to better relay our goal of this entire Minecraft server: Simulating civilization in Minecraft.
Server Rule Changes
The 'No spawn camping/killing' rule has been removed during war
We understand that the rule removal may be unpopular; however, this rule has been removed due to the introduction of vigor and its influence on the new war regulations.
Players can be trapped and manually spawn killed to lower the number of lives a player has. Players cannot be auto-killed upon respawn with tactics that do not require manual input from the user (like lava bed traps or auto-clickers/macros, etc. are not allowed).
Players can circumvent this by simply not setting their respawn location in unsecured locations or rejoining the server later after death.
NOTE: Players can NOT spawn kill players who are not actively participating in a war with the individual(s).
Rules against bullying will be better enforced
Following the complete speech, we've always never deemed bullying as acceptable; however, we want to ensure newer players are aware of this fact. We understand the serious nature that surrounds bullying so, as a preventative measure, we decided to include it in our list of server rules (applies to Minecraft and Discord).
Added support for Unban Packages
Unbans can now be purchased with the approval of KoE admins.
Added an exception for End Rifts
End Rifts allow players to enter the end for a period of time.
This is the only exception to the End Dimension ban.
Added regulations for One-Time Teleports (OTTs)
One-Time Teleports (also known as OTT kits) are kits that allow new players to teleport to whichever continent is closest to the country they selected to claim/join.
We've added regulations for OTTs because understand that the nature OTTs bring can be heavily abused; therefore if it is discovered that an OTT is being misused outside of its intended purpose, we will hold the individual(s) accountable for their transgressions.
War Rule Changes
New Control Flags system
Lives system receives an update revolving around vigor.
Wars now have fees (vigor) that must be paid to continue the ongoing war.
Added civilian classifications
Active-Combatants (ACs) are individuals who are actively participating in the war and can be killed under normal war circumstances.
Non-Combatants (NCs) are individuals who are not actively participating in the war and can not be killed under normal war circumstances.
Geopolitical Rule Changes
Claims now cost vigor to upkeep - upkeep costs (it helps if your citizens are paying their taxes)
Passive claims reduced: 8 max ---> 5 max
Passive claims cost vigor to claim and increase the nation's upkeep cost (again, taxes)
Legends rank subscription players can passive claim as quickly as 2 days (compared to 3 days traditional)
Attacking a country during a grace period is now a war crime
A new country's grace period lasts 7 days after the creation
Specified leader inactivity: N/A ---> 7 days
New Mechanics
Evokers have been removed
Lessons from the legacy edition showed that totems are just too powerful!
Raid farms are able to produce hundreds, even thousands of totems every hour, as well as an abundance of other resources like emeralds, potions, strings, crossbows, saddles, exp, etc.
Players have statistically used totems in over 90% of wars with nearly all fights having players stocking many totems.
For this reason, evokers (the only way to obtain totems) have been removed from the server. The ONLY way to obtain totems now is through events and by purchasing them with vigor for 10 vigor each. This will provide monetary value to vigor and make totems much harder to obtain in mass.
Prices for totems may increase/decrease depending on the server economy and the number of totems that players have and statistically use in conflicts.
Vigor
Your life force is stored in these shards. You need vigor in order to respawn.
If you cannot afford the price of death to respawn (2 vigor), you will be vigor-banned from the server for 24 hours; meaning you can't play on the server for 24 hours.
You can bypass the vigor ban by having other players pay 5 vigor to revive you.
Vigor is also needed for essential nation functions like paying upkeep costs, war fees, obtaining totems, and trading with other players (as most players will use vigor as money).
Custom plant/tree growth
To make the server a little bit more realistic, we've added PwnPlantGrowth to make it so that plant and tree growths are now affected by the biome they're planted in.
This will make nations rely on trading with other nations for their crucial regional supplies and make it so that a jungle plant, for example, will not grow in a desert (even with bone meal).
Custom food and drinks
Eating and drinking have never been more fun in Minecraft with the new Brewery and MidensFood plugins.
Alcoholic drinks have been introduced.
Suspicious "foods" have also been added that give a euphoric feel.
Combat Log plugin
Reinforcements
No need to worry about your builds being constantly griefed. With the new reinforcement plugin, you can reinforce blocks to make them harder to mine and allow for your builds to last longer.
Trade Shop
The Trade Shop plugin makes creating shops much easier to manage on the server!
Dynmap
You've asked for it, and we've delivered. See a live map of the KoE world to know where you are and how your awesome nations look from space!
Auto Crafting
You can now more easily automate crafting with this plugin. As long as you've got the materials, this new "factory" will make sure that the crafting gets done, even when you're away!
Jukebox and Chat Image for more fun features
New Airdrops on the server will now deliver supplies to whoever claims them
Custom Recipes
Custom recipes on the server will allow alternative forms of crafting certain materials.
No, we are not allowing enchanted golden apples to be crafted.
