As part of the unGODLY series, this server is similar to its previous counterpart in that its primary focus is giving power to the players while still allowing for a significant degree of challenge and difficulty. Hostile mobs are much stronger and faster, but players are given better tools, abilities, and opportunities in order to properly combat them.This server has many plugins – far too many to name – and so there is most certainly something for everyone.
