Medieval & Fantasy Minecraft Roleplaying

Intro:

Hello everyone,

We're going to try something funky. For a while I've been thinking about things that could be better about the server, and what to do about them:

The first is that CRP is kinda wack as it is. Most take a good few hours, require a DM, and involve a good amount of arguing because it fundamentally comes down to resolving two different ideas about what's happening at any given time. I suspect this contributes to why conflict in general is scarce, as just the process of having it can be daunting when it's not done between friends.

The second is that there's not really a meaningful context for characters to be skilled at anything other than the eye test of 'this old character is probably better than this fresh one.' This is the big one, that there's no tangible way to develop past a certain point, and I think it manifests in a few different trends in various parts of the server. Magic/divine offers a way to tangibly progress, and is often an endgame goal...

Hello everyone,

Some of you have heard of the crafting rework teased at a while back. The short of it is that we're working on a system to standardize IC crafting and progress by making it plugin-based, with an experience system in the style of a traditional RPG. You gain experience by crafting actual in-game items from IC resources found in the world, and can name and customize the lore text of the things you make. As you progress you gain access to more difficult recipes, and can eventually choose a specialized branch of crafting to make expert crafts with intrinsically magical materials.

One of the stated goals of the project is to introduce more fantasy elements that are part of 'daily life' RP. Many new materials are being introduced for this with a range of magical and fantastical effects, from a metal that glows perpetually with heat to a sturdy wood that's near as light as air, and most can be found and used simply by exploring the map and...
