Ashenreach is a survival server that is built around real danger and long term worlds. Players are not invincible here and conflict and conquest actually matter.
The server has custom relics that are powerful items hidden all over the map. You can track them with a special relic tracking system and hunt them in chests in lava pools or even on other players.
Enchantments are super rare on purpose. You cannot just stack maxed netherite and ignore everything. To live you need good prep smart positioning and real combat skill. To actually thrive you need allies numbers and solid infrastructure instead of glowing gear.
Healing is changed to feel more hardcore. There is UHC style regeneration so you do not heal from food saturation. You have to use campfires or golden apples to get your health back which makes every heart matter a lot.
The world has custom terrain with a handcrafted map structures and clear regions so exploring feels different from normal survival. There is SimpleVoiceChat so you can talk to people in game and a lands claim plugin so you can manage ranks and permissions inside your land. It does not fully protect you from theft so planning and defense are still important.
The server is meant to be long term with no resets and no ranks or shop so your progress and your story actually stay.
