BetaMC

Progress comes from building a village, earning money, improving your home network, finding rare shrines, and becoming part of the player economy. A village claim starts with one chunk, while extra chunks cost money from the village balance.

Long-term goals include growing a community, opening a profitable shop, buying a public warp, collecting unusual items, and building enough wealth to influence the shared world.

The server adds homegrown systems without replacing the Beta 1.7.3 foundation. Village claims provide land protection and ranks, while Shrines, ArenaFighter, Auctioneer, Hitman, banks, extra home slots, and player warps extend the old survival rules.

Other unusual touches include spectator betting in arena fights, item-for-item ChestShop trading, slot machines, and the ability to use ChestShops to stack items that normally cannot stack.

BetaMC uses a shared overworld with a square border roughly 50,000 blocks from spawn in each direction. The large world contains player towns, roads, shops, landmarks, and hidden structures.

Twenty-four shrines are scattered through the overworld. Each shrine sells normally unobtainable vanilla items such as fire, tall grass, redstone wire, or diamond ore, turning exploration into a community treasure hunt.

PvP is allowed in the wilderness, but protected areas such as towns, shrines, and Spawn Town have different safety rules. Players can also use the dedicated ArenaFighter system for structured duels.

Arena fights use a countdown, save and restore inventories, track wins and losses, support spectators, and maintain leaderboards. The Hitman plugin adds another layer by letting players place bounties on targets for others to collect.

Money comes from activities such as killing hostile mobs, selling materials to the Admin Shop, and trading with other players. The Mall provides protected space for player-run ChestShops, while auctions allow players to sell a held item stack quickly.

ChestShops can handle normal currency sales and item-for-item trades. The server also has banks, player-owned warps, an Admin Shop, and special stores connected to the wider town economy.

Community events are part of the server's social calendar. BetaMC also has a Hunger Games mode with separate rules against teaming and alternate-account stat farming.

Towns are the center of social life. Players can join an existing village, open a stall in the Mall, build public warps, trade through ChestShops, and contribute to shared landmarks.

The Discord is used for community discussion and server news. The wiki also contains town pages, plugin guides, staff information, landmarks, and player-created lore.

Cheating, hacked clients, X-ray, autoclickers, exploit abuse, duplication, ban evasion, impersonation, spam, harassment, slurs, and real-money trades for in-game items are prohibited. Public chat is English-only, while private messages may use other languages.

Griefing and PvP are allowed in the wilderness. They are not allowed in protected areas such as Spawn Town, shrines, and claimed towns. Public mob farms are prohibited; claimed farms must restrict use to trusted assistants.

Donations are optional and handled through Ko-fi. The $15 CAD Donator rank mainly provides cosmetic and convenience perks such as `/nick`, `/hat`, colored chat and signs, custom join and leave messages, and block-history access.

Donator+ and Donator++ cost $30 CAD and $60 CAD in total contributions and add little beyond the rank display. Donations are non-refundable, including after a ban.
