Corova Chronicles is a Java edition PvE survival server with custom mechanics and post endgame progression. Build your base, claim land to protect it, and set up a team HQ that your members can teleport to. You can also represent your crew with a custom team tag, so it feels more like a real squad than just a bunch of randoms.
Progress through different tiers to unlock stronger enemies, better enchantments, and more claim capacity. The enchant table has custom properties to help you get solid gear early, and once you start pushing forward you can work toward protection 4 armor, dual wielding, and custom enchant abilities that change how combat plays.
There are also custom weapons and tools like the scythe, which attacks faster than a sword, and weapons and tools can gain mutations over time for extra buffs and abilities. PvP is toggleable with a command and has a cooldown, while non-PvP deaths keep your inventory, so you can play survival without every mistake being a total wipe.
On top of that, Corova Chronicles has minigames, random world events, selective animal breeding with rare genetic traits, and even rideable mobs like giant parrots, ravagers, polar bears, sniffers, and pandas. Diamonds are the main currency, so you can deposit them, rent plots at spawn, and open player shops as you grow.
