The Civcraft Server

/r/Civcraft is a Minecraft server and defined by its creators: "Civcraft is an experiment for communities, political ideologies, debate and discussion. Our backstory is based on history, not fiction. We’re forming a new direction for game-play, not just about surviving the elements, but about surviving each other, where players can work together to create and shape civilization or to watch it crumble. A world open to any idea, manifesto or philosophy, created by the players. We hope to push minecraft to its fullest potential in order to foster discussion, experimentation and community building. This is the great pastime and challenge of mankind: Civilization." We, the SPQR are one of the many nations that have risen up here.

The map is divided in different shards, each one is a different world from the others, a map of the shards can be found here. The server counts with plugins to force cooperation to survive and to succesfuly become a town/city/nation, this are some of the plugins:

Factory Mod: Create specialized crafting machines that can consume and produce any goods or enchantments desired. Factories enhance the Minecraft technology tree, encourage capital investment, and force communities to work together. Using a specialized factory is also the only way to enchant gear on Civcraft, as normal XP and enchantment mechanics are disabled. Factories tech tree and pylons infographic pylons are used for XP production.
Citadel: Protect your structures from other players through reinforcement. When a block is reinforced, other players have to break it multiple times to actually destroy it. The number of breaks depends on what material you used to reinforce the block. Reinforcing a chest or door also locks it — only you or those in your group will be able to open it. Reinforcement materials list
Realistic Biomes: Your crops will only grow on certain shards and biomes and on a slowered rate, peaceful mobs also only spawn on certain biomes, to encourage trade between shards and cities. Realistic biomes spreedsheet including shard, biome and growth rate
Bastion: Control your territory using bastions, which prevent block placement, teleportation, water/lava placement, and fire ignition by other players. A bastion's area of effect is a square - 10 blocks to each side, from the y-level of the bastion block (sponge) to sky limit. Bastion blocks are created in very advanced factories and require lots of resources.
JukeAlert: Note blocks and jukeboxes serve as the equivalent of security cameras, as both have the added functionality of sending out alerts whenever a player comes within 11 blocks. Jukeboxes also store a log of all activity within the same range.
PrisonPearl: Enact your own systems of justice by imprisoning other players within the End. Killing a player while there is an enderpearl in your hotbar will bind the player to the pearl, preventing them from returning to the overworld. Great infographic for prisopearl

We have currently settled in the Abydos Shard (Desert/Oasis) near the coordinates ( 350, -350 ) on the Northeast corner of the Oasis. The best way to get there if you are still new, is to die and random spawn until you end up in the Forest Shard (Eilon) and then walk to Volterra, then north-northwest to the shard border and come into Abydos. and if you want to join, modmail /r/CivcraftSPQR to be added to the sub.
