NECROWING

Seven classes, each with a role in the group. You carry one emblem on your hotbar: use it to swap into stance, where your abilities live, then swap back to build and mine. New abilities slot in as you level.

Old-school MMO targeting, built on vanilla controls. Right-click a mob to target it (tap on Bedrock). There's no need to be in sword range.

WHAT YOU SEE

• A compact target panel on the right of your screen shows the mob's name in its con color, its level, its health, and whether it's attacking you.
• A marker over your target that only you can see.
• Tank classes get a hate meter that shows who the mob wants and when you need to Taunt.

FIGHTING WITH A TARGET

• Melee abilities fire the moment you select their slot.
• Spells: select the slot, then right-click to cast. A cast bar fills, moving interrupts it, and taking damage might. Spells check range and line of sight to your target.
• Heals land on the player you're looking at. Look away and they go to whoever in your group is hurt most, and they never steal your target.
• /con sizes up your target before you pull.

GROUPS OF 6

/invite a friend. Group members near a kill share its XP and named credit, can't hurt each other, and show on your sidebar with their health. Classic roles apply: the tank holds hate, the healer keeps them up, and everyone else assists.

Optional. You can play fine without it. With it, you hear players close to you and their voices fade with distance. Callouts in a dungeon hit different.

1. Install the mod. Get Simple Voice Chat from Modrinth for Fabric, NeoForge or Forge, matching the server's Minecraft version. The Modrinth App or Prism can install it for you.
2. Join as usual. Connect to play.necrowing.dev. The server side is already set up.
3. Press V. This opens the voice menu. Pick your mic, test it, then choose push-to-talk or voice activation.

Java only for now. Bedrock players can still play normally, they just can't use voice. The mod's group chat lets you talk to friends from anywhere, and you can rebind any key in Controls.

GEAR DROPS IN FOUR TIERS

• Hostile mobs drop Magic and Rare gear of their level. Named mobs camp fixed spots on respawn timers and carry their own loot tables, including the uniques.
• It's all still vanilla gear underneath, so you can enchant, repair and mend it as usual. If you're under-leveled or the wrong class, only the bonuses go dormant.

IMBUING

Grind magic gear at a grindstone for Imbuing Flux. Then sneak + right-click an enchanting table with a full library to roll plain gear into a Magic item, or spend a Gem of Secrets (named mobs only) to reroll an item's bonuses and lock the one you like.

COIN & TRADE

• Mobs drop copper, silver, gold and platinum. Coin you carry falls on your corpse when you die, so bank it.
• A Banker in every village, a server-wide auction house (/ah), mail and player-to-player trade windows.

SKILLS BY USE

Swords, archery, dodge, mining, fishing and more rise as you use them. Gathering skills speed you up, double your drops and turn up rare finds like buried magic items and travel scrolls.

"Camp the named. Fear the corpse run."

1. You die. You lose 10% of a level's XP, and yes, you can lose a level. Falls, lava and the void all count. Dying is never a free trip home.
2. Your stuff stays behind. Your gear and carried coin stay on your corpse where you fell. /corpse points your compass at it.
3. Go get it. You have 2 hours before it rots and everything on it is gone. Bring friends if it's somewhere nasty.
4. Or find a Cleric. A Resurrection brings back most of the XP you lost and moves you to your corpse. You can also pay for a trip back to your corpse right after you respawn, but that won't return any XP.

CON BEFORE YOU PULL

/con colors a mob from gray (no XP) to red (run). Mobs get tougher the farther you go from spawn, and mobs keep a hate list, so the tank has to hold aggro. Some levels are hell levels that need 50% more XP.

Deaths to other players cost no XP.

Travel is earned. There's no /warp, /home or /tpa. Walking is the default, which is what makes corpse runs, far-off camps and Wizards worth something.

WAY HOME	WHO	HOW
Bind	Everyone	Sleep in a bed. That's where you respawn and where Gate takes you.
Gate	Wizard, Cleric, Necro (lvl 5)	8s cast back to your bind. Any hit breaks it, and it has a 15-minute recast, so it won't save you mid-fight.
Song of Homecoming	Bard (lvl 15)	The Bard's Gate. Stand still and sing yourself home.
Soulbind	Necromancer (lvl 8)	Binds you or a friend to the exact spot, such as a camp out in the wilds.
Combine Port	Wizard (lvl 10)	Opens a portal for the whole group to any active beacon. Costs mana and coin.
Scrolls	Anyone	Blank Scrolls are rare fishing and digging finds. Inscribe one at a beacon to make a Scroll of Port. A Scroll of Return takes you home.

BEACONS ARE THE PORT NETWORK

Build a beacon, give it a name, and it shows up on everyone's map and becomes a Wizard port. You can see the beam from far away, and the Nether Star cost keeps the network small.

TRY ON A TITLE

Your title shows above your head and in chat, in full color. Gradients included. Big ones also change the color of your name. Pick one:

Hit level 50 and your class itself takes a new name, so Warriors become Knights and Necromancers become Hexed Ones. Some titles stay secret until someone earns them.

LEADERBOARDS

The server counts everything you do, and /top ranks it. Every board is empty right now, so every #1 spot is up for grabs.

There are dozens more boards, including damage dealt, dodges, crits, distance traveled, blocks placed and time played. Open /records in game and click any record to see its board.

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Achievements in Adventure, Combat and Loot tabs, with progress bars. On Java they also show up on the advancements screen (L), with toasts.
• Prefer to stay mysterious? /anon hides your level, class and title.
