Civcraft is a politically focused simulation that aims to make the player as free as possible to form their own political, social, and economic order. Civcraft requires a legitimately purchased Minecraft account. The server is currently running 1.8.7, though you can connect with clients from 1.8 to 1.8.7.

There is no schedule for map resets.

1. Remember, its just a game, strictly speaking.
2. No cheating.
3. No doxxing.
4. There are no other rules.

Civcraft requires a legitimately purchased Minecraft account. All server mods are server side, meaning you don't need to download any mods to play. You can install client side mods to enhance your experience as seen here: I highly recommend installing forge (required for most mods), mapwriter, and voxelmap (for radar).

Server Address: mc.civcraft.co

Server Version: 1.8.7

The Map is a circle 15km in radius, in which diamonds are distributed into at most 750-block-wide, low-density deposits.

The Civcraft world generation is noticeably different from vanilla, with beautiful new biomes, hell islands and majestic, enormous mountains. More importantly, there is a striking dissimilarity between our ore distribution and that of Minecraft: regular-size ore veins are around 1/6 as common and sometimes you will find large pancake-shaped areas with amazing diamond ore density, usually one or two-hundred blocks in diameter; these are what we refer to as 'veins'.

You view the map at the www.txpau.com, run by GipsyKing.

A picture version of the rails can be found here. The edge of the map is secured against passage by World Border. You will not be able to go any further than 15,000 blocks from the center of the Map.

The ores are rare on this map, 1/6th of vanilla minecraft, in addition to those ores there are iron veins in ice mountains and diamond veins of varying size and density scattered through out the map.

The Mining Guide is recommended reading before trying to mine ores.

Civcraft is a modded server and has many radical changes to gameplay, all changes are server side so you do not need to download any client mods to play Civcraft.

• There is no default spawn. Players spawn at a random place on death.
• Chat is limited to 1,000 blocks.
• Ore distribution is significantly decreased. Instead, ores are found in veins. See Mining Guide.
  • Ores are obfuscated as stone until you walk within a radius of them. Obsidian is obfuscated if it is surrounded on all sides.
  • Many crafted blocks are obsfucated as well such as chests and crafting benches.
    • Nether portal travel is disabled, access to the nether is only through the expensive to build Nether factory building.
• Ghasts, zombie pigman, and wither skeletons have a chance to spawn from nether portals so portal farms are useful for gathering their item drops.
• Iron golems do not drop iron on death.
• Villager trading is disabled.
• Wither terrain damage is disabled.
• Enderchests are disabled.
• Earning experience from mining and killing mobs is disabled. Experience is produced in a bottled form using Factories.
• Growth rates of plants and animals are reduced and specific to Biomes.

When you first spawn in, you will be random spawned in the wilderness, far from other players. It is highly recommended that you find and join an existing city. Most groups are fairly welcoming to new players and as such you usually just have to ask.

The chat radius is limited to 1,000 blocks, so do not be surprised if you don't come into contact with many people while in the wilderness.

Press F3 to view your coordinates. The center of the map is at 0,0. The map is a circle and has a 15,000 block radius.

You can use this map to find where in the world you are. http://www.txapu.com. Most travel occurs in rail networks.

Warning: Be sure to set your bed once you are at a city you like. Dying will cause you to be randomly spawned again, which may place you far away.

• Walk to preserve your hunger bar. Similarly, don't jump unnecessarily.
• Don't break into homes or chests. People will find and imprison you.
• Death will make you spawn at a random place. You can die on purpose to try and respawn closer to your target city.
• Clay placed under cropland will boost growthrate.
• Don't mine ores without silk touch. Read the Mining Guide for more information.
• Don't use furnaces except to start off. Factories are way more efficient and much faster.
• Don't ever smelt gold ore into gold ingots. Gold ore is more valuable in ore form. Gold ingots can be infinitely produced by killing zombie pigmen spawned from portal farms.
• Don't try and do everything yourself. Civcraft is a social experiment and one that is not easy for hermits.
• Don't try and do everything yourself. Civcraft is not for a single player experience!! You will have massive difficulties trying to do everything on your own, find or make your own community.
• If you don't have experience or material, try trading resources for it. Experience production is complex and time consuming so it is more worthwhile to trade materials used in production in exchange for experience.
• Try /r/CivcraftExchange or the forum if you want to trade with other players.
• http://www.civlist.com/ is a website that display what shops in different cities have stocked and is great for getting a feel for the market. Created by zzaarr.
• Most discussion is on /r/Civcraft and the forum. It's the best place to go to ask questions and know what's going on aside from mumble.
• A huge part of the game happens on mumble, join us at mumble.civcraft.co:64738, even if you don't have a mic just being in on the discussions that happen there will help you learn and enjoy Civcraft.
• The Citadel mod allows users to reinforce blocks to protect them against griefers.
• It is highly recommended to reinforce everything you build. This can be easily done by using /ctf, which will reinforce blocks as you place them as long as you have stone.
• It is wise to reinforce to a group, which can be created with /nlcg group-name and then /ctr group-name or /ctf group-name
• Juke Alert allows players to record activity within a radius. Jukeblocks when reinforced will record player activity within a radius of 11 blocks. These are called snitches. Noteblocks that are reinforced will only notify when someone enters its radius.
• Place your snitches below ground so that they will be obfuscated as stone and as such be invisible to x-ray cheaters.

The major ones that are important to learn are Citadel and JukeAlert. All mods are server side so you don't need to download anything prior to joining the server.

See Mods for more information on the mods that Civcraft uses.

Most trade occurs on /r/CivcraftExchange or through shops chests using the mod ItemExchange.

1. To trade, left click the chest, this will tell you in chat what exchanges are available. It might have an exchange for 1 diamond to 16 iron.
2. One chest may have multiple different inputs available. Left click the chest until the trade you wish selected.
3. Select the diamond(s) in your hotbar and punch the chest. This will take the diamond away and give you 16 iron in place.
4. A shop chest may have a limited number of items available for an exchange. It will display how many trades it can do for an exchange in chat with Exchanges: 30. This mean I can trade diamonds for iron thirty times before the chest runs out of iron.

For more on creating shop chests read ItemExchange.

FactoryMod completely revolutionizes crafting and allows for more efficient production in the long run. I highly recommend learning how to use FactoryMod as it makes a huge difference. See the Factorymod Wiki for a guide to what FactoryMod can do and how to use it.

1. Left click on the crafting table with a stick to cycle through the recipes available to the factory.
2. Left click on the chest while holding a stick to see a summary of the currently selected recipe.
3. Place the required materials for the recipe into the chest.
4. Fill up the furnace with the fuel the factory requires.
5. Left click the furnace while holding a stick to turn on the factory.
6. Wait for your wonderfully manufactured goods to be produced and placed in the chest. If you want to cancel production left click the furnace while holding a stick, if you want to check on the status of production left click on the chest holding a stick.

For more on the factories that produce experience see Factorymod.

Note: Once experience has been added to your hotbar, it can't be re-bottled. Only use experience when you are going to use it. Dying with 30 levels can be an expensive mistake.
