Other Mechanics

Systems that do not fit cleanly into other feature pages.

Season Timing

• Each season runs for 4 weeks (28 days).
• Final Fight is at the end of the 4-week season.
• There is a 1-week break before the next season starts.

Use /season for live dates in server time.

Spawn Protection

• PvP-safe square: default +/-500 X/Z around spawn.
• Build-protect square: default +/-100 X/Z around spawn.
• Build/interactions/hazards are heavily restricted in spawn protection.
• If you are combat-tagged in protected spawn space, you take periodic chip damage and get moved out.

/spawn Behavior

• /spawn is only for the spawn area (anti-stuck use), not global travel.
• Allowed range is build-protect radius plus buffer (100 + 16 by default).
• Teleport is instant and places you on safe ground.

World Border Progression

• Season launch border: 9000.
• Daily growth: +2000 at noon (server timezone).
• First Saturday target cap: 25000.
• Growth transitions use smooth border movement.

Players outside a world border are automatically moved back to a safe in-bounds location.

Difficulty and Sleep Curve

• Difficulty at launch: Easy.
• First Wednesday: Normal.
• First Saturday: Hard.
• Sleep percentage starts at 1%, then ramps and caps at 5%.

End Access

• End is locked before the End Opens milestone.
• End opens at SeasonStart + 14 days.

Dragon Egg Relic

Keeping the Dragon Egg in your inventory grants:

• 10% damage reduction
• Fall damage immunity
• (Elytra infinite durability is not on the egg; that is now the Dragon Rune.)

Protection rules for the egg:

• Cannot be dropped.
• Cannot be placed.
• Cannot be moved into external containers.
• Cannot be stored in bundles.
• Cannot be burned, exploded, or despawned.
• If lost to void death, it is rescued to a safe location on/near the main End island.

Minimap Fair Play

Server-enforced fair-play restrictions are applied for common minimap clients (Xaero, VoxelMap, JourneyMap) to reduce radar/cave-map abuse.
