Hello everyone, its been a long time since Ive been on this website so only a few of you probably remember I spent a lot of time playing on Janus's MountainBlade Minecraft server. Since then I've only found one server that has been able to compare to the fond memories I have of that server and Im on a bit of nostalgia trip right now. I am currently planning to set up a similar server for those who are interested. The rules would be almost identical to how they were back then. The only difference is I am disabling most armor and weapon enchants as well as almost all of the potions. This decision is being made based on my experience on servers where they are disabled and I've always found that the grinding is not fun at all. Also fights that take ten years to end are also pretty awful IMO.
The server is still minimally a few months away from launching as I have a very busy few months ahead of me. I also have to start coding the mods to make the server run the way I want with enchants and potions as I cant seem to find anything that operates they way I want. I also plan to have an armor plugin balancing the different armor types. Leather will be used to scout as it will give a speed boost and minor health regen. Iron will be the standard combat gear as it will make you hit harder with the sword. Diamond will be the tank gear meant to stand in front and absorb hits. While diamond will lose to iron in a sword fight if diamond gets a few bow shots in before the fight starts it should be fine. Also diamond isnt intended for use in a 1v1 situation, its meant for you to stand in front of your iron buddies in a charge.
Other than that it will use the factions mod that any veteran of the MountainBlade server will be familiar with but for those of you who havnt seen it before I will explain. Basically you can form nations with your friends that allow you to claim land in the game as your own expending your factions power. Factions gain power by gaining members and lose power when members die. Power will regen over time while not at war but once you are at war the power regen will stop until the war is concluded. If your power gets below the amount of claims you have the opposing side in the war can claim your land away from you. You can war dec anyone you want so long as their factions power is above 50%, once a faction dips below 50% power you have to wait for their war to end. This is to prevent people hopping on the loot bandwagon.
If you have any questions about anything feel free to post I will be checking this thread at least once a day. In case you were wondering there will be no pay to win options at all I am paying for the server out of pocket. There will be donation options but none of them will effect gameplay. You might be able to donate for a ingame title or cape but thats about it.
