Novigrad - Survival with Claims

This is my private project and I have not decided yet, if I want to advertise it to wider public. The server is pretty much "work in progress" as of now and serves as a place to test various ideas and concepts before putting them life on my main project.



The goal is to create a controlled environment with protection against cheating and griefing, while keeping most of the vanilla game mechanics intact. Since my focus is on building I've decided to disable monsters spawning. This requires some custom crafting recipes to compensate for missing resources. I.e. crafting strings from wool block. Loot tables of larger mobs had to be modified as well: they drop bones in addition to regular loot. Some of the items will be also available to purchase from traders. This does make building "farms" difficult (if not impossible), however, this is a deliberate design decision. Difficulty is set to “Normal”.

The server utilizes TerraformGenerator plugin for terrain generation. This adds unique biomes and land forms.

To keep everything within walking distance (and to keep disk and RAM usage under control), the map size is currently limited to 10,000 × 10,000 blocks. All chunks have been pre-generated in advance, so traveling does not cause lag. With plot claims in place, there is no need to spread players hundreds of thousands of blocks apart for protection — everyone can live as neighbors. The map will be expanded as more players claim land.

To ensure level playing field anti-x-ray and anti-cheat plugins are installed.
