We’re proud to introduce our newest, highly-anticipated gamemode, Earth SMP! Taking the place of our previous Towny server, Earth SMP enhances the Towny experience with brand new lands, nations, vehicles, and even war! Along with these additions is a fully-fledged job browsing system, where you can earn money while doing your favorite in-game activities. Expand your kingdom, build massive farms, and defend your land from others in this brand-new Powercraft experience!

WHAT IS EARTH SMP?
What is Earth SMP you might ask? Earth SMP is a survival-based gamemode with a custom map that is a replica of Earth. The map is a 1:500 scale of the planet, but don’t let that number fool you! This map is 90 GB in size and tens of thousands of blocks in all directions, allowing for plenty of exploration. You can access an interactive, real-time map of the world at https://earth.powercraft.network/. New players must venture through the wilderness in search of an area suitable to settle in. Once there, you can create your own land (aka town) with the command "/lands create (name)". Your land will be protected, and only those that you invite will have access to building on it. You can also create specific regions (areas) which only certain players can access, similar to how plots work. Once inside your land, you and others will be protected from PvP. Remember though, outside of your borders is the wilderness, where PvP is allowed! You may of course disable PvP permanently with the command “/pvptoggle”.

JOBS
Using the command “/jobs browse”, you can begin earning money to expand your land. With jobs such as farming, mining, building, and many others, you will surely find one that fits your playstyle. Earning money is crucial for expanding your town. The first four chunks are free, but after that the fifth chunk will cost $1500. Every chunk after that will cost an additional 10% of the previous price.



WARS
You can also participate in wars! This is purely optional for the more hardcore players who want to raid, take over countries, and PvP. You can declare wars against other players with “/wars declare (land/nation)”. The land or nation you’re declaring war against must be online, and must accept the declaration. When both parties have accepted, the war will start after one hour. Make sure to travel to their land, while also making sure you’re defending your own land. You can’t directly steal or grief when fighting, but you can steal their land with “capture flags” (type “/wars” to see the crafting recipe). When you’ve stolen their land you own it and the chests residing in it. The winner of the war (the nation / land with the most captures / kills) will also receive 30% of the loser's money. See more info about wars on this page (https://github.com/Angeschossen/Lands/wiki/Wars). Just remember, this is the only time griefing / stealing is allowed. Tricking players into wars is NOT something that’s allowed, they need to know what they’re getting into.

VEHICLES
Vehicles are a fun addition to Earth SMP, having a variety of different uses. With the vehicle key, obtainable by voting and/or purchasing at https://store.powercraft.network/, you can test your luck at our brand new vehicle crate, located at /spawn. Vehicles consist of bikes, cars, parachutes, tractors, drills, planes, the highly sought after Mecha, and many more. These vehicles can help you with tasks such as farming and mining, travelling long distances, or they can even help shift the tides of war in your favor.




CONTEST
We are holding a contest where you can win 60 vehicle keys (potential prizes include helicopters, mechas, tanks, cars, etc.) and a guaranteed Mecha-MKI, which can be shared amongst your land's citizens (or be kept to yourself) If you don’t like the prize you can swap it for a 60 USD coupon code in the store! The contest is ongoing and ends the 31st of October. The goal of the contest is to recruit as many new players in your town as possible, have them create a house, and remain active on the server. We know who’s new and who isn’t, so don’t try to cheat!

A great way for getting new citizens is to create a plot for them that only they can access, giving them a mining area, mining with them, making them feel involved in the town, and so forth. If you wish to create plots / regions only certain members can access you can view the tutorial here (https://github.com/Angeschossen/Lands/wiki/Sub-Areas). The winner will be the one with a beautiful town which new players have joined and thrived in.

Everyone who creates lands will automatically participate in the contest.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you all online!
