Welcome to CatLord MC

CatLord MC is a (mostly) vanilla minecraft server with an emphasis on community and trade. We have players with a wide variety of skills and interests who regularly come together to collaborate on amazing projects. We take pride in ensuring that our server is a safe haven from griefers and thiefs - though we very much encourage tasteful pranking!

New players looking to join the server should contact one of our admins at ben@heidemann.co.uk or bernhard@heidemann.co.uk.

World Info

The seed of the current CatLord world is 308809959. This seed has a large mooshroom island located at X=-10000 Z=10000 which is where the world spawn is located. After recent expansion the town is no longer fully situated in a mooshroom biome.

For performance reasons we have opted for the Paper server as opposed to the vanilla Mojang server. If you require more information on Paper, this can be found easily on Discord but our server administrators will happily summarise the important differences.

Our world is periodically reset when we feel that we have played out the current world, however, backups are made and are available to download for nostalgia's sake. There are currently no plans to reset the world in the near future, though it is likely there will be a hard reset when Mojang releases minecraft 1.17.

Rules and Info

1. The Town
   • The original town area was divided into plots which are now all sold. It may be possible to purchase some of these plots from the players who own them. The town has since been extended and new land is available for purchase from the town. The price for a 10 x 10 area in the new part of town is a block of diamonds which are to be depositd as a named block into the chest in the Mayor's Office (the bridge of the ship). 
2. Mayor
   • From time to time there will be elections to the post of Mayor. Each active player is allowed to stand for Mayor and there are no rules regarding the length of term nor the number of re-elections. Our current Mayor is Cat Lord.The mayor has the right to blacklist other players in case they disrupt the community. Blacklisting may be temporary or permanent. The mayor administers the town funds and

     supervises the sale of land in the town area.

3. Commerce

   • Shops will be restricted to the town area or a commercial area at a later stage in the game. Sales of land and or buidlings in the town area attract a 10% sales tax due to the town. This is to be deposited in named diamonds in the chest in the Mayor's office.

4. Communal Builds

   • Any communal builds in the town area and other areas in the world may be financed from the town funds. Payment for materials are negotiated between the Mayor and the player and will generally be less than the going market rate. Services such as advertising, decorating or building may also be rewarded by the Mayor.

   • Some communal projects, especially building mini games and seasonal areas may be undertaken in creative mode. This will be decided by the community and command blocks will be used to give players creative mode.
5. Datapacks
   • We are playing with a limited number of datapacks at present. These include:
     • Vein Mining. Taking out some of the tedium of mining, this datapack means that if you mine an ore block all blocks of the same ore in the same vein (i.e. directly connected but not diagonally) will drop at the same time. Your pickaxe will wear just as much as if you had mined each block separately and any enchantment on your pickaxe will effect each of the blocks.
     • Anvil Mending. Each time an anvil is used to repair a tool the cost of this increases. With this datapack the cost of repairs remains the same. This datapack is probably more sensible during the earlier stage of the game and may be removed at a later stage.
     • Sleep. This datapack alters the behaviour of vanilla Minecraft so that only one of the players present on the server has to sleep in order for night to move forward. Top tip, carry a bed or two.
     • Heads. This datapack causes mobs, animals and players to drop heads when being killed. Each entity has a different chance of a head dropping.
6. Mods
   

   • We play with the 'Yer A Wizard' mod enabled. This mod was developed by our admins specifically for this server to bring magic to our world. The mod is intended to introduce useful and interesting new mechanics without being overpowered or unballancing the game. For more details go to this page.

     NOTE: the YerAWizard mod is currently in pre-alpha and is subject to change significantly. What you see on the details page is planned content and may not reflect the current implementation of the mod.

   • A second mod implementing an autocrafter is currently under development and in the pre-alpha testing stage.
