The Realm
Every city on CodexCraft is generated with the world: roads that follow the hills, houses for every trade, villagers at work, and walls where the capital needs them. Every one of them is a town you can join.
Every journey begins in Codexia, a great walled city around the world spawn. Gatehouses with portcullises guard its eight-sided wall. Inside stand a castle with a great hall and throne, and a market square with a fountain, stalls and traders. The Market Hall, Barracks, Guildhall and Cartographer House face the square.
Further out, wild cities and old villages dot the countryside. They are built from dozens of medieval buildings: cottages and workshops, inns, chapels, granaries, manors and cathedrals. Their streets step with the land rather than flattening it.
Every city and village is a town run by an NPC mayor, with lots for sale that follow the buildings on them. Join a town, buy a house or an open plot, and trust your friends to build on it. Lots near the square are shop lots, where you can open a shop.
A notice board stands at every town spawn, with contracts to supply, craft, hunt, carry and explore. Hand them in to the town's officers: the Quartermaster, the Captain of the Guard, the Postmaster and the Cartographer. Good work earns standing, and standing earns rebates.
New arrivals are met by the Herald in the castle of Codexia. Their questline clears the roads, carries a letter across the realm, and sees you settled in a town. It pays enough along the way for your first village house.
Own enough lots in a server-run city and you can buy its charter, replace the NPC mayor and rule it yourself. Server towns stay at peace. A chartered town leaves the peace, joins the politics of nations and can be besieged.
Getting Started
In Minecraft: Java Edition, open Multiplayer, choose Add Server and enter play.codexcraft.com.
You arrive in Codexia. Seek out the Herald in the castle to begin the Crown's Road. Its three stages pay 1,000 Crowns, on top of the 250 you start with.
Take contracts from the notice boards, level your skills, and sell your goods to the market traders on the town squares.
Type /city list to see the towns nearby, then /town join <name> to become a resident of one.
Stand on a lot and type /lot buy, or buy one from your browser on the Land Registry after signing in on the website and linking your Minecraft account with /web link.
The Economy
The currency of the realm is the Crown (♔). Every price is set against what an hour of honest play earns, so a village house costs an evening's work and a manor in Codexia takes a fortune.
Nothing on CodexCraft is sold for real money. There are no ranks, keys, kits or Crowns for sale. Every lot, title and town is earned in game, and the Land Registry only takes Crowns.
