What is a settlement?
A settlement is a community you found with your friends. It grows as more people join, rising through four ranks, and it earns a shared gameplay bonus for every member by completing weekly tasks together.
Founding one
Founding a settlement is an honor you earn through your progress on the server, so you cannot create one on your first day. Once you can, use /settlement create <name>. Names are 3 to 10 characters long and must be unique. You choose one perk for your settlement when you found it.
Growing through the ranks
| Rank | Members | Leader | Second-in-command | Bonus multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Village | 1+ | Elder | Warden | 1.0x |
| Town | 5 | Mayor | Bailiff | 1.25x |
| City | 10 | Lord | Steward | 1.5x |
| Kingdom | 15 | Ruler | Regent | 2.0x |
Everyone else is a Citizen. If a settlement loses enough members it can fall back a rank.
Perks
Each settlement chooses one perk that benefits every member: HealthAttackDefenseMining SpeedXPResource Drops. The ruler or right-hand can change it later, but only once every 7 days.
The weekly task sheet
A perk only becomes strong when your settlement completes its tasks. Each completed task adds to the bonus, and your rank multiplier then increases it. Progress is shared, so every member helps, and the sheet resets weekly. A settlement that completes no tasks gets no bonus at all, however large it is.
| Task | Goal per member |
|---|---|
| Blocks Placed | 200 |
| Mobs Killed | 50 |
| Chunks Traveled | 100 |
| Online Hours | 5 |
| Fish Caught | 20 |
| Items Enchanted | 5 |
The numbers above are the current defaults and may be tuned by the staff.
