Server Newcomer Guidebook (588 views)

First of all, if you got in, congratulations on getting your votes, welcome to the server. If not, good luck on getting the votes! Realm of Reckoning is a small whitelisted community where everyone plays on the server. Some of the members enjoy playing other games together. League of Legends seems to be a big hit.



Let's start with what you've seen so far; the forums. This is not just where you apply, this is where a lot of the server talk takes place, some serious, most not. All events, server changes, bans and the like will be announced here so it's important for your own well-being to keep up to date. It's not mandatory that you join in but you'll most likely miss out on some good content and be less of a part of the realm.



As of now, we have two servers. The main Realm of Reckoning server run by me Rcon, is our survival multiplayer server. There are no mods, no bukkit, no plugins. Everything you see is Minecraft - 100% Vanilla. Everyone has a house or base on this server and this is considered the main hub of the community.

We also have an event server, very kindly run by AllstarIV. This is the server we use to play minigames such as UHC (Ultra Hardcore) and building games while the main server can still run.

Main server IP: 144.76.172.227:25589
Event server IP:



When I say "events" I mean minigames. Most of them are for fun but some include prizes. If an event is run on the main server, it WILL be vanilla. All of our minigames hosted on the event server currently use only vanilla but we may look into mods and plugins in future.

Events will be announced here on the forums and we usually have a thread for each of them which I will list below. UHCs are almost always held on Saturdays save for the odd Sunday follow up if people want one.

So you've connected to the server, you're probably wondering what to do and what you can do. You can build anywhere you like except if it's in a town (more on that below) but assuming you stay away from towns, you can wander around and build where-ever you want. Do not forget there's a border on the map, the border is 2,000 at the moment. There is still a lot of unexplored land for you to find and a lot of caves unexplored. The map border will most likely be doubled when 1.8 comes out, giving a lot more area for new people. Any regions past 2,000 may be deleted when 1.8 comes out. The border is in place to keep the map from breaking. We didn't know how big the world would allow so we kept it small for now with future expansions planned. It's sort of a controlled infinite generation, "infinite" meaning there's always unexplored land.



First of all, there is no plugin or mod used here, coloured names are part of vanilla.

Let's assume you see a town and decide that it's to your liking. You can freely roam around towns, obviously you can't take items from chests but taking and replanting crops is allowed. How do you know which town you're in? Well if there's no sign saying which one it is, have a look at this live spreadsheet and match up your co-ordinates of you can. From there, you can see if that town allows people to build freely there or if they're closed.

You see someone with a coloured name, are they hacking? No, this means they're part of a town. Which town depends on what colour they are, you can find out which town they're in with the spreadsheet below.

We have a small section dedicated to lore here in the Realm of Reckoning, it is entirely for fun and helps people learn about the server and characters within. Lore is freely open for anyone to contribute their own stories and to give feedback on others stories. Do not discourage others there, it is not a place of hate. If a story is lacking something, suggest what they can do differently and encourage them to write more. There's an official lore story and a lot of other side-lores written by other people.
