Iron to Empire

标签： competitive economy pvp

A seasonally competitive Arclight-Minecraft server that is staged in the Early Renaissance. Wield greatswords, pikes, arquebuses, airships,and fire cannons from ships alongside our custom Feudal plugin built specifically for this server.

Build a Kingdom, Not Just a Base

Using the custom Feudal plugin, players found kingdoms, claim territory chunk by chunk (or as remote settlements), assign ranks from Member up to King, and run a shared treasury funded by taxes and trade. There's no offline raiding — every war is a real, scheduled event with its own mechanics, not a surprise griefing.

Kingdom Wars

War is banner-driven: plant your banner on enemy land and the clock starts. From there it moves through four phases — Declaration, a 24-hour Countdown, Active War, and Resolution — with treasury costs, tribute demands, a lives system tied to kingdom size, banner captures, and a "Total War" option that removes the surrender option entirely. Cavalry charges, siege cannons, airships, and full-loot PvP make the fights feel like actual battles rather than skirmishes.

Economy as a Second Path to Power

Military conquest is only half the game. Kingdoms also earn Economy Points by crafting Crowns (Netherite, Diamonds, Emeralds, and Gold) and depositing them at Empire Vaults — the high-traffic, full-value Main Bank or the safer, half-value Lesser Banks. A player-run marketplace and admin shops round out a real in-game economy, where a kingdom that's economically dominant can outscore one that's purely militarily dominant.

The World of Nyra

Beyond the kingdoms lies Nyra — a custom-generated world built from mods like Dungeons & Taverns, Explorify, Tectonic, Terralith, and Mystic's Biomes, layered with hand-built structures. It's home to over 40 unique custom mobs across five factions (Elderborne, Shadowblack, Wilderborn, Commoner, and Outlaw), semi-griefable dungeons unlockable only with rare Keys of Nyra, and legendary loot beyond vanilla enchanting limits.

Win the Season

Each Season runs for about 90 days (for Season 0). At the end, War Rank Points and Economy Rank Points combine into a single Season Score — the highest combined total takes the crown. Every Season's Victor and Runner-Up are permanently enshrined character model and username in the Hall of Champions, for as long as the server exists.
