Better server performance!
Yesterday we got a total of 10 people online at the same time, which was great to see!
Although this was great, we've realized the current Kingdoms server wasn't performing well enough with that amount of players.
That's why we have updated the following:
The server was offline for about a hour to switch to a new server node.
All IPs/ports have been changed, which means the voting rewards and the map might be unavailable for a short duration/
Server upkeep cost
These upgrades have more than doubled the monthly upkeep cost for the server.
Later this week I'll release the first donation rank and a donation bundle in the store, for the people who want to contribute to the upkeep of MCKingdom.
Stay tuned!
Thanks for your patience and enjoy MCKingdom with better servers!
The first update is here, with voting rewards, custom food, armor and some bug fixes!
This week we had our first official invasion, done by the kingdom SPARTA against Ignara (now known as Imperium).
Although Imperium had no defenses at the time, it was pretty clear it was too easy to just "rush" another kingdom and steal all it's resources.
So we have some balancing for future invasions:
I'm now working hard on making those item skinwraps working; besides that I'm setting up social media to get more players to join.
Thanks everyone for playing, and stay tuned for the next update.
Resource Maps
Our Kingdoms map is a 1:500 replica of the Earth.
Like in real life, some areas are richer in terms of resources than others.
We've had a lot of questions where you can find the most gold, for example.
Good thing for us: the original creator of the map shared some maps with information on where to find the most resources.
Note: This doesn't mean the resources are limited to only spawn on these spots; but there are bigger vains & clumps.
Coal
Copper
Iron
Gold
Redstone
Diamond
Ancient Debris (yes)
Currently we only have Europe and North-Africa, but as you can see South-Africa and West-America are stocked with resources.
Once those continents open up I recommend you all go explore and form colonies!
MCKingdom is now available on Bedrock and other 1.21 versions!
Previously we were only available on 1.21/1.21.1 on Java, but now we're also available on Bedrock and all other 1.21.x versions!
Bedrock
You can join our server on Bedrock through using play.mckingdom.net with port 19321.
Some custom assets might be different / invisible on Bedrock, we're trying hard to get most of our Java assets available on Bedrock.
Bedrock cosmetics bought from the Microsoft store are not visible to Java players.
1.21.x
Although the server supports other versions, the map will still be generated around 1.21.1 on Java.
MCKingdom is back!
Six months after our abrupt stop we're back, this time with a better optimized server with even more (upcoming) features!
The last time we had to abruptly stop our server due to issues with optimization & budget; but this time we're doing it right from the start with a larger and stable budget. We're also more focused on the future instead of short term achievements; we want to be a server going for years instead of months.
We're also looking for helpers, to moderate our forum & servers, welcome new players and help setting up the server!
