SquidTeaSMP: A Tale Of Anarchy

**SquidTeaSMP: A Tale Of Anarchy** is a new server that will be starting up around the time of September/October 2023. The main idea of this server is to be something new and different to all other servers before it. In doing so rules have to be broken, or made as you'll find out reading this page...

## Description

**SquidTeaSMP: A Tale Of Anarchy** is a full survival anarchy server with a number of interesting twists. Firstly, although there are absolutely no rules in what you can do, some important rules like hacking and NSFW things are still not allowed, community matters guys. Also, players who don't want to play by the anarchist rules can band together and form a faction (or nation) and have the freedom to set their own rules and punishments for their teams. This can range from no greifing property to things like no wearing the colour pink ETC. This means that people who want to be chaotic and spawn kill and steal and break stuff can do so and cause chaos but those who want to actually build can also have fun and do so to. And finally players can be outlaws, shunned by society and constantly on the run from people.

## Map

The map for **SquidTeaSMP: A Tale Of Anarchy** is the same map as the previous successful server: Ethocraft 2.5 but again with a giant twist... The first map was partially generated in 1.16 so it looks a lot different now in 1.20, better biome elevation, more cliffs etc. Also the map has been generated in a 3000 x 3000 square with a specialist continental generator!

The effect that this will give off is it will form more oceans and more realistic shaped landmasses. This will not only allow the map to look even better when being viewed from the sky, it also will increase the immersivity and hopefully be a new, exciting map to explore and build lore! Specialist Reigons of the map have yet to be mapped out as no one has ever stepped foot on this land.

## Beginnings

**The beginnings of the server will probably change as time goes on but the plan is this**:

All players will log on at a similar time and will be together in a mesa biome near a small cart and outhouse area.

There they will have a reminder of the rules read to them and an opportunity to plan ahead as to what they want to do.

Then they will be set off and allowed to roam freely, doing whatever they want.

To start with the End will be disabled so players will have to rely on iron and diamonds as their main source of armor, weapons and currency.

It will be Chaos as there will be no rules to stop people spawn killing, stealing and other activities like that.

## Factions

A big part of the server will be the ability and need to form your own Factions or nations with 4 other players. This is because without the protection by the laws you create together, your builds, items and life are at risk from outside invaders to come and steal. There are a few criteria that need to be fulfilled in order to start a nation and the link to the list will be here - https://trello.com/c/bXoBPDTB/32-31-preface

### Laws

With your own nation and 3 or more others by your side, you are going to need laws in order to protect your stuff from those anarchist people around you. You can have as many laws as you want to, you can have 3 4 or 100 + if you so desire. These laws can be as in depth or as basic as you'd like, however the more in depth the better as people might try and find loopholes and exploit you. They can cause any forms of punishment up to capital punishment: banning from the entire server! (Although we encourage you only to use capital punishment for extreme things like greifing etc)

### Culture

You've done everything you need to and made your nation, now you can start thinking about culture! Each nation will be given the opportunity to choose a focus when they first start out and this will give them a buff to something depending on what it is. For example Builder will give their builders the powers of creative without the whole cheating blocks thing and Redstone will allow them to gain access to larger amounts of redstone components easier. But these are only very very basic starting points, its up to you and your team to make you really stand out! Whether its the way you build, the beliefs you have, the types of clothes or ideologies, we know you'll do something amazing!

### Tech Trees

Each Faction may specialize in a certain technology tree. They can base their culture off of this tree or do something completely different. Having a tree will allow the team to use gold to purchase items from their respective trees so they dont have to grind for it themselves. Here are the available technologies:

Redstone, Mining, Combat and Building

## Currency

Every player, team and such like will all have a universal currency that they use for trading, payments and richness rankings etc. This resource will be GOLD. Some biomes have more gold than others so strategy is needed when picking base locations. Also, WATCH OUT, you cannot store your gold in ender chests so you have to have a secure treasury otherwise you could be goldless and have some high bounties on some outlaws.

## Optional Server Software

To make the best experience for our players we have included a number of things such as custom resource packs and voice chats. As such players may or may not choose to install certain software's to benefit from certain things. The list of such are:

1. Fabric - It will allow you to do proximity chat and to see custom armor textures

2. Simple Voice Chat - Proximity chat will be a fun and chaotic thing u can use

3. Optifine - Boosts FPS and allows you to see that ALL EXCLUSIVE CUSTOM TEXTURESSS!!!!!

4. CIT Resewn - For those who arent running optifine but are running fabric you can use this to see CUSTOM TEXTURES!!!!!

5. Please enable the texture pack, it doesn't change a single thing about the server or any pack youre using, lit just for custom items :)

## Endnotes

There is probably a lot we are missing out here and we will be sure to update the wiki as things get changed, but we are looking forward to updating this wiki and making history! Lets get out there and make some interesting LORE!
