Eracraft is a themed SMP! We wanted to create a brand new community and a brand new concept! One where players are able to write their stories through time! We’ve got some quality of life changes so we’re semi-vanilla. Come and join us! We try and get server events happening every week.. We launched on March 1st and we are currently in our medieval era!

Discord Link: https://discord.gg/gnSSFaZYEz

Concept:

Seasons will be 8 months minimum! The season will be split into 7 eras. With some sub-eras! These eras are a general theme for builds and player interactions. Eras will progress and change over IRL time! Every Era has a certain length of time IRL. Depending on the Era, some last longer than others. Write your story through history!!

Due to the nature of the server being a themed SMP, the server will be completely survival for all players. Instead of there being separate worlds for resources and such, everything will be in one world.

The map will expand with every "Era" the server passed through. The dynmap will only expand to cover a place when a player has explored it. In the first Era, the pre-historic Era, the map will be limited to 1,500×1,500. The dynmap will automatically cover the initial pre-historic Era. But for areas to appear on the map after.. they must be explored by players! The initial starting region is essentially the main island on the map.
