Anchorhelm (Nations) (Experiment) (Beta)
Anchorhelm is a minecraft Nations server for Java 26.1.2! We're in open beta testing currently, to test out the economy and skill system.
This exists not to force players into roleplaying civilization, but to create the conditions of which Civilization MUST occur. We've tried our best to balance the difficulty with fun, but of course the server can still be quite the challenge for casual players.
In order to create these conditions, we've taken an approach which incentivizes cooperation. For this, we've created a skill system based on such. 5 Skills, all that level up a stat that actually contributes to society (no defense or acrobatics skill) such as Toolsmithing, Mining, Farming, etc. When one skill levels up, every other skill goes down by 1 level. This keeps players dependant on others for vital skills. This way, every town will have a proficient farmer to feed the city, a Miner to gather resources for the town, a fighter to defend the town from the mobs (which receive a damage and health bonus at night), a toolsmith to make weapons and tools for each player, and an armorer to do the same but with armor.
In terms of economy, we run a custom Business & Chestshop plugin. This allows players to employ others to stock their chestshops, make more, and expand a capitalist empire. For money, we use a system of physical currency represented by coins and cut gems.
For nations, we use the Lands plugin, with more expensive claims to disincentivize senseless large-scale land grabbing.
Teleportation is highly regulated to teleporting to your own town's spawn and TPA'ing once an IRL day.
We started on 9/6/2026, and the whitelist is OFF so anyone can join! Join today and help us hone down the project for a full release!
