Equinox Minecraft Server Wiki

## **About**

Equinox is a modless Minecraft server run by Rackkoonz and co-owned by Puppakk. It is a challenging experience, allowing for a modded style of play with only being run through plug-ins. It features a wide array of new biomes, mobs, items, recipes, dimensions, and more. The current state of the server is in beta, with the current version being 0.3.1 More updates will likely come and continue for a long time. Equinox has been in production for 4 years, however its early life consisted of just custom enchants. 3 years into the project, Equinox started to gain its mod-like status.   When you first start out on Equinox, some of the first things you are likely to notice is the difficulty. While the server is set on hard mode, it really likes to encapsulate the “hard” feeling. Most mobs will immediately kill you in one hit, even with good armor, which can make progression at night feel almost impossible due to the rate at which mobs spawn. If you take it slow, you should be able to progress just fine, which takes us into our first display of new things.

## **Progression**

### Where to start

Copper is a common item to find in Minecraft, but it essentially has nothing going for it. The only real thing you would use copper for is recipes with a single ingot that only have a few practical uses and nothing else. Despite this poor use in vanilla, Equinox uses copper as its gateway to new items and a progression system, which makes up for its abundance. Raw copper can be smelted into ingots. These ingots, like the many other ores in the game, can be crafted into tools for use. These tools consist of the normal selection of an axe, pickaxe, sword, hoe, and shovel, however, there is also a new item called the knife. When crafting these, you might notice some special differences. For instance, a knife isn't as strong as a sword, but it is a lot faster. You can use that to your advantage against the strong mobs. However, you won't be using copper for much longer. If you were wise enough to craft a pickaxe out of copper, you’ll find that it has a special description. When you mine copper ore, there is a chance that it will drop tin scraps.
Like copper, these carry all the same tools and benefits, but the tin pickaxe doesn't provide anything progression wise, only allowing for it to mine more tin from copper ore. The next step in progression is to combine two tin scraps and two raw copper to create raw bronze. Smelt those into ingots to continue progression to stronger items. If you follow the path that your pickaxe tells you, you get halted at ruby, which stems from redstone. This is where things start to get weird, as you will need to start hunting certain mobs in order to continue. By now, you should've gotten the hang of things, and should be able to stand your ground against the onslaught of mobs.

### Getting an upgrade

Just like in regular Minecraft, Equinox allows you to upgrade your arsenal to be bigger and more powerful than before. Using different minerals, you can create different armor types, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Some may give you potion effects or amplify the number of hearts you have. It all depends on the type of armor you use. Of course, not every armor type is created equally. Some may slow you down, or possibly have negative effects, like curses. You can entirely avoid the available progression tools, but in order to get anywhere in the server, you should have good gear.

### New Generation

The new generation in Equinox introduces a wide array of new biomes. While they use pre-existing items, the new twist on generation can show quite a lot of biodiversity, allowing for something new at every turn. Blocks that are only used in certain structures or biomes can be found all over the overworld.
