🌾Survival Features

Chertia has a lot of custom survival features that add additional content and provide quality-of-life improvements to Minecraft. At its core, Chertia is still a Minecraft survival server, with:

• No keep-inventory or inventory restoration.

• No homes, warps, or /tpa outside of story events.

Altered Vanilla Mechanics

• Players can right click on stairs, slabs, or carpets (or run /sit) to sit down.

• Only one player needs to sleep for night to pass, but other players can cancel it.

• Creeper explosions do not break blocks.

• Players can right click with a shulker box in their hand to open it.

• Players can sneak + right click with a crafting table or ender chest to open it.

• Falling into the void in the End will teleport the player to the Overworld.

• Players can eat Glowberries to glow for a brief period of time.

• Mending no longer repairs items with XP, but instead reduces the XP cost for repairing the item in an anvil.

Survival Features

• World generation...

  • Datapacks enable custom world generation on the server for the Overworld, Nether and End dimensions.

  • There are lots of lootable structures. If the chest has an orange name, it means the loot inside is per-player.

• Recipes...

  • See the Recipes page for more information.

• The Underdark...

  • Located in the Stronghold (near the Cells) is a portal to the Underdark, a custom dimension.

  • The only way to leave the Underdark is back through the entrance portal.

  • You cannot bring any items to the Underdark (they will be automatically dropped upon entering the portal).

  • There is no keep-inventory or item dropping in the Underdark. If you die, your inventory will be deleted.

  • Mobs are faster and stronger in the Underdark, and can vary in size.

  • You can mine freely and loot structures (which includes trial chambers). Please continue to respect the Survival Standards when it comes to structures in the Underdark.

• Blacksmith & item repairs...

  • Players can right click a Blacksmith (found around the world map) with a mineral to sell it (for crowns, the server's virtual economy).

  • Players can right click a Blacksmith with a damaged tool and the Blacksmith will repair it (3-12 crowns).

  • Players can right click a Blacksmith with an empty hand to purchase a Totem of Unbreaking, which will save one tool/armour piece from being destroyed.

• Fishing...

  • When you fish, you have a chance to catch 1 of 26 types of fish. This includes the normal fish (cod, salmon, etc.) but also includes unique fish (stingray, jellyfish, etc.).

  • Each fish is also given a few variables: overall quality of the fish (1 to 5 stars), length (in scale 0-100) and weight (in scale 0-100). These variables together decide the price of the fish.

  • Fish can be sold to the Fishmonger in Emberlyn -- right clicking will sell your held fish, sneaking + right clicking will sell all the fish in your inventory.

  • Since these fish don't stack, inventory space will be a concern. Our recommendation is to use bundles -- they work perfectly for this system.

• The Alchemist...

  • Located in Emberlyn, you can purchase randomized potions from the Alchemist in The Perilous Potion.

  • Benevolent potions (on the left) give positive effects while malevolent potions (on the right) give negative ones [these are cheaper].

  • You get 4 potions (stacked!) per purchase.

  • The potions will have randomized effects, including effects not normally found in potions.

• Froglights...

  • Ochre froglights will send the player forward when stepped on.

  • Verdant froglights will send the player upward when stepped on.

  • Pearlescent froglights act like teleporters. Stand on one, make direct eye contact with another, then jump.
