Lodestone is a Minecraft worldbuilding and geopolitics server that is going into closed beta. It is about towns and nations and war and trade so it feels like a big world where players fight for power.

The server has Towny so players can form towns and nations and go to war with other groups. There are chest shops so you can set up stores to buy and sell items using chests and signs.

There is a special feature called Spice Trades where you harvest spices and sell them at spawn. The environment you build in changes the spice quality so good land becomes super important and people will fight over it because it makes the economy stronger.

The server also uses Auraskills where you level up a lot of different skills to unlock many abilities. It changes how you play since you keep grinding skills to get stronger.

Lodestone is in closed beta so you have to apply to be a beta tester first. If you join now you get to be one of the first players to try the unique features and help shape the world from the start.
