networking techniques

The Fantasy Network is a fun-first Minecraft community with its main server being FantasyRpg. FantasyRpg is a 24/7 server that runs a heavily-modded custom-developed RPG experience. It runs the same-named plugin FantasyRpg that facilitates the RPG experience and adds a traditional levelling experience for players (exp, levels, stat points), levels to monsters, randomly generated dungeons, guilds, spells for players and mobs, monster ranks, custom items and much more.

FantasyRpg has PVP enabled, but we offer land claiming with grief prevention and ‘Warding’ to create grief proof bases. To prevent players from only camping in their base 24/7, random dungeons are generated hourly that is full of loot and monsters. They are great areas to farm items and experience, so use them well!

FantasyRpg runs in three-month seasons with a ladder reset (world and player resets) at the end of each three-month season. These new seasons allow for the server environment to be balanced at a much faster pace than not, letting players level up and acquire interesting spells and gear within hours, rather than over days and weeks. It also lets new players catch up with veterans and start off on equal footing. And, these new seasons are also when major plugin updates will occur.
