Encrafted is a server based on the idea that you can cast spells by drawing shapes in the air. We’ve used this concept to create a PvP and RPG-oriented server, where spell casting is easy to do, and can be used to both interact with the world and other players.
To properly see what its like, I’d suggest watching the trailer it gives a good insight into how the spell casting actually functions and what PvP looks like when using it.
You can learn the spells by exploring the world, performing tasks for NPCs, killing monsters, looting chests, and some can even be purchased from shops there are currently over 50 spells available in the game that can be found, and many more are in currently in development.
There are NPCs, puzzles, and both 1v1 and deathmatch-style arenas. While it’s still in the beta stages of development, were looking for people to test the spells and world, and deliver any feedback they have whether thats about creating new spells, finding bugs, or just general improvements that they’ve thought of.
Even better, theres a set of documentation at https://docs.encrafted.net, which anyone can use to learn how to create their own spells or NPCs for submission, and we’ve had a few people learning the basics of programming and implementing their own ideas into the game (for instance, the moon spell in the trailer was actually jointly created with a player who never tried programming before).
Were working on building more of the world up the spell-casting system allows us to have thousands of unique spells, and many of these can be used for puzzles, parkour, and other fun minigames, not to mention their PvP applications.
Just to be clear, the server is still in beta. The world is currently restricted to a smaller area with the essentials of what we’ve got planned for later, and the quests are limited similarly. That being said, there’s still a significant amount to do, between PvP, PvE, and the few quests we have released so far. It’s also likely there will be some bugs, so if you see any, please report them on the discord!
