Beginners Guide

## Introduction

Armokcraft is a dwarf fortress themed minecraft server that has had a few previous iterations. It uses custom weapons, armor and plugins to emulate a light modpack. If you are stuck or confused please check out the crafting recipes section of this guide. This is a roleplay server and a certain amount of etiquette is expected. It is mandatory to have a theme or background behind your settlement, choose a race and stay in character whenever possible. We have a small but welcoming community of spergs, buildfags, RPers, and occasional ERPers (keep that shit out of general chat you degenerates). I hope you have fun and make good memories with our dedicated community.

## The Story So Far

1500 years ago, the civilized world was nearly destroyed by the rogue wizard Lu Ezer after he exploited a rift in reality to summon denizens of the underworld. This began what is known as the 5th era or twilight age. During these years the civilized (and goblin) kingdoms began the long process of rebuilding. The dwarven empire, led by the Stumor dynasty, fractured into multiple warring kingdoms. One of which being a dwarven republic. The goblins were largely shielded by Zig and Zog's wall as they had appeased the gods with their destruction of the great jungles. Much of humanity fled to the deserts and began constructing great cities.

It is still a mystery what happened to the dark lord that almost conquered the world, but it is rumored that he may still be active. His demon hordes have mostly returned to their realms and the only remnants of his campaign is scattered ruins filled with the raised corpses of their past inhabitants.

## Armor, Weapons and Magic

The server uses custom armor and weapons, gold, diamond and iron armor are not normally craftable. The tiers of gear are cloth armor comprised of wheat, steel which is made with iron and coal, adamantine which is created by extracting the strands from diamonds, a very tedious process. There is also magic gear such as staves, wands, scrolls and armor. The final tier of gear is artifact gear, which is unbreakable and grants powerful bonuses.

## Brewery

We use a plugin called brewery to make custom potions (alcohol) each recipe is a secret for you to figure out on your own. Click this link for more detailed info on the plugin.

## Grief Protection

We use the towny plugin to protect your builds and items from being raided. To create a town do /t new <town name> then /t claim to claim the chunks adjacent to another claimed chunk. To add new residents to your town do /t add <player name>

You can create your own nation, which will allow you to band together with other like minded towns. To do this do /n create <nation name>. Add other towns with /n add. You can also set a spawn point in your nations capital city by doing /n set spawn. Players in your nation can teleport there by doing /n spawn.
