Lord of the Craft

Progression is mainly about your character's story and relationships. Experiences can change your persona's personality, reputation, skills and place in society.

You can grow from a newcomer into a merchant, soldier, noble, mage, scholar or leader. More soulstone slots become available as you continue playing a character, while special races, magic and other paths use application systems.

The server adds a large roleplay layer to Minecraft through personas, character cards, local dialogue channels, soulstones, resource nodes, custom lore, magic, creatures and special races.

Playable races include humans, elves, orcs, dwarves and halflings. Additional races and supernatural beings use separate creature or lore applications, and some can only be created through roleplay.

Azuras is the current realm. It has a large horseshoe-shaped continent, an inland sea reached through coastal straits, and islands with unusual climates.

The setting contains human, elven, dwarven, orcish and mixed-race nations. Custom terrain, cities, wilderness and an interactive BlueMap make travel and exploration important parts of the experience.

Combat can happen through combat roleplay or normal Minecraft PvP. In many encounters, the defending side chooses which form the conflict uses.

Larger conflicts include raids, battles and wars. Status markers, parties and countdowns help groups coordinate during mechanical PvP.

Death does not always end a character. A player can accept monk resurrection and return to Cloud Temple with recent memories removed, or choose a permanent kill under the applicable rules.

The main in-game currency is the mina. Banks protect money from being lost on death, and bank NPCs can be found in nations across the world.

Players trade through shops, the trade channel and auction houses. Businesses can sell goods and services, while nations and settlements create their own local demand.

Story staff run character events, long-term storylines and large world events. Players can become involved through nations, guilds, settlements, wars, raids and smaller local plots.

Events may affect politics, travel, characters and the wider history of Azuras. Players can also organize their own gatherings, businesses, ceremonies and conflicts within the rules.

Lord of the Craft has a large English-speaking roleplay community built around the game server, forums, wiki and Discord. New players can ask for help from community staff and meet other players through dedicated newcomer channels.

The community is best experienced by joining an active nation or group. Solo play is possible, but regular interaction gives the server most of its depth.

A whitelist application is required, and applicants must be at least 13 years old. Players must remain in character during roleplay and avoid metagaming and powergaming.

Separate rules cover roleplay, combat, raids, war, building, lore, chat, forum conduct and player safety. Moderators handle reports, disputes and rule enforcement.

The store sells Crowns, a premium currency used for ranks and extras. Ranks from Coal through Aether add persona slots, chat styling, item descriptions, shop features, cosmetic options, companion features and other social conveniences.

ItemEdit Tokens are also sold separately. Purchases support the server and are separate from the whitelist application.
