How to Make History in Minecraft

hey yo i'm stoney and this is rathnir it is a very special minecraft world where players build up cities form nations create religions trade with each other create maps flags and art and most importantly make stories together that's because this is a world building minecraft server the first world building minecraft server of its kind so you get on and you're expected to be creative with what your character is and what you build like look at the city of clahotel or the archaeological magical sword of laith or the ancient city of lilianen which got sunk beneath the ocean in a ritual sacrifice rathnir truly is a magical place and this video is going to show you how to join and establish yourself so you can have some of that gaming magic for yourself but before that i want to shout out bisect hosting which is supporting rathner's smooth running with over a hundred players at once use code stoneworks to get 25 percent off a first month of any of their servers they run great and are easy to set up link in the description thank you guys to join rathnir you need to have minecraft java edition 1.16.5 on your computer that's what it is right now the ip is stoneworks.mcserve.fun but that also might change in the future so if it doesn't work look down in the description or comment log in and you'll be in the spawn hub you can take some time to explore this because there's a bunch of cool easter eggs and hidden things around the maps put by the players who built it but to get to the world of wrath near you'll have to leave this place do slash wrath near or go through this water portal that's at the end of the adamant shop to go there both of these will teleport you to a random location in the world so now you're in the world of rafnir it is 15 000 blocks by 15 000 blocks large and there's several thousand players if you want to engage with the community and really get into the world building you'll have to join the discord because that's where all the discussions announcements and maps are or if you want to know some in-game information or lore definitely check out the wiki so you're in wrath near you need to get established you'll need a bed because this allows you to do slash home and spawn back to it rathner is filled with towns cities countries guilds nomads and bandits so there's a lot of ways that you can go about doing this you could create a hidden base roam around and kill players for their items join a pre-existing town settle your own or whatever you find works for you these are your basic rules cut and dry play nice but i just want to say we will patrol people's discords that are advertised on our own so be careful with your edgy memes screw the toxic ass groups out there second you can't role play things like fascism or genocidal regimes that's not in the spirit of the server okay let's talk about town claims these are areas where only trusted players can build break and interact towns lands and town claims are all the same thing if you're in somebody else's town claim you as an outsider will not be able to open their doors or loot their chests this shows why joining or making a town is a good idea if you want to join a town the mayor will have to invite you when you're trusted in their land claim you'll be able to build break open chests doors use buttons levers etc while outsiders cannot do these things unless the mayor allows them to oftentimes mayors will set you up with a plot to build in and some starting materials plus you'll get to meet some friendly people early on so it's pretty nice to join an already established town and just get to know people with a little social network but whatever you're doing players and mayors they both need money so that they can engage with trade and town building to get money on the server all you have to do is mine iron and gold go to the admin shop at spawn and sell it there an iron ingot gives you 50 and a gold ingot gives you two hundred dollars with this you can use the command slash pay to pay other players for goods and you can set up a town to check out how much money you have do slash balance the most important commodities on the server that i see people trading for all the time are building materials war materials netherrites or enchanting books like mending so there is an extremely active economy on this server it's actually insane how well set up it is thank you envis for doing that now here's some miscellaneous commands and mechanics that'll help your role play and understanding with the server first do the command slash l to talk in local chat and slash g to talk in global chat also do the command slash ep settings to get a title like builder bartender mage or a custom one if you donate there's also a huge brewing industry where players keep recipe books and teach each other how to brew different alcohols try visiting one of the many bars like carpitious's grizzly bear or himos 401's pogba if you see this music disc pig step it is worth a lot of money there is also no end dimension and no ender chests and elytra are extremely rare and valuable we've found that the townie system works better without these mechanics also it takes eight netherite to make a chest plate you can't just upgrade diamond to netherright oftentimes water flowing and redstone just completely shut down because of server lag and most mobs don't really spawn much so you'll have to buy their products on the spawn shop outside of the game like i said earlier we keep a wiki for the world of rathnir this is where players write their own character lore the history of their nations their religions theology and rituals and more if you want to make minecraft history you need to write down your stuff on the wiki in order to preserve it or it'll probably be lost to the sands of time just like gungum in plagos which was covered by sand okay okay i'll assume now that you've been playing for a bit you're a little bit established or you just want to skip straight to the step where you set up your own town doing this is simple but how and where you do it will greatly influence your time on the server to settle a town go out and find a place in the wilderness and do the command slash to create and then the name of your town exactly as you want to see it this will cost you 5 000 so 25 gold ingots and you'll end up with a single claimed chunk of land where you were standing when you did the command to set your town spawn do the command slash to set spawn and where you're standing will be the spawn point if you teleport into your town this will usually cost you a thousand dollars to teleport though to claim more land outside of your spawn junk first deposit money into your town's bank by doing slash to deposit and then the amount of money that you want to deposit then go to adjacent chunks and do slash t-o claim this will cost 200 per chunk of land the amount of land you can claim is based on how many players you have each additional player in your town allows for 24 more chunk claims but don't get too hasty because every 24 hours the server charges town upkeep that is 20 times the number of claimed chunks that you have mayors can raise the money for town upkeep themselves or by charging taxes on their citizens usually by a percentage of how much money the citizens have total as a mayor do the command to menu to change your land claim settings like who can access what sort of things do mobs spawn stuff like that so that is how you start a town for yourself however often times the wider world can get in the way of all this look at this map of the world rathner all of the land is claimed by one nation or another nation claims are really not part of the mechanics of the server but are projected and informal this means that players are going to want to defend their own claims for their territorial integrity to stay intact so you should be aware of where you are and who's around you when you want to claim a town if you settle in a nation's lands most of the time it seems they'll be chill and just ask you to become part of their nation which could involve adopting their flags religion swearing loyalty to a leader among a bunch of things or they'll allow you to form your own city-state within their territory the best-case scenario but this doesn't happen very often or the nation you settle in may just want to boot you out violently like how coffee cubists of arlinor stirred up three so-called barbarian rallies to evict new settlers off their territory so try to find where you are on the map of raffenir in the discord and maybe look through the wiki to see if they have a history of violently booting out settlers so you have your town established you're all chill nobody's gonna come and beat you up for it at this point you can go in many directions either as a bandit who kills people a religious leader who spreads their images and beliefs a guild leader who expands their business i will eventually go into how all of these work but for now let's go about making a nation creating your own nation as you start out is a frustrating uphill battle i won't lie to you you are competing with players that are more familiar with each other and the politics unless you're starting out with a group or you have the pvp chops to back your claims up it may be worth joining someone else first okay nations like i said are informal there are mechanics surrounding nations in game but i don't think they're as important as just nations as a conceptual entity that players agree exists if you own a nation it's important that you get it on the wrath near world map for legitimacy otherwise people won't know about your claim and your nation really won't be influential at all the map is made by players for players so to get your nation on the map you'll want to draw out the borders and send it in the specific discord server it's called the cartographers guild in the claim updates channel i'll put that in the description in the comments too i know this is a lot of information just to start on a minecraft server but in game it happens in the process of days to weeks so it's fine i totally promise now how you build your nation is up to you since they're conceptual they come in many different forms with many different kinds of centralization unity confederacy all that kind of stuff many are simply led by the mayor of its capital city but there are plenty of republics democracies oligarchies and anarchies to model your nation after even some communist states whatever you do though your nation should have its own flag wiki page and discord so you can easily brand yourself and communicate and also if you want to encourage new players to join your nation then write a small advertisement and the link to your nation's discord and put it in the nation's adverts channel on the stoneworks mcdiscord without doing these things it may be difficult for you to find legitimacy with your nation and to expand it with new players just keep it short nobody reads walls of text now if you've watched any of my minecraft videos you'll know that the nations are pretty much characters unto themselves yamu aodal slash theos asuktal just will never die ever it's permanent asharia was basically led by a divine dictator and it was all just poofed away one day uldurash keeps getting wrecked and then willing itself back into existence out of pure spite and bardonia just loves war because every two months chancellor unicorn boy comes back and riles everybody up legit it's crazy how much personality minecraft world building can have so this is how you join rathnir start a town and create your very own nation these are the things that you need to get involved with minecraft world building and history if you want to see a good example of all this coming together well look at the pretty inactive nation of cyronia it was many players who built up its capital azithvia with unique architecture they created a religion with complex rituals beliefs and a main temple their culture has lore behind it its wiki page is world building of an ancient history and participating in some of the big rathner wars i'd say it's one of the many civilizations here that demonstrates what this server is all about come and see for yourself remember to check out the servers from bisect hosting and expect more from me later stoney the monkey boy peace out you
