It was willed into being at 10:00am on Wednesday October 24, 2018, opened for beta testing on July 25, 2019, and widely released on July 30, 2019. It featured our [[magic|magical]] survival worlds until August 2024, and now plays host to BadWolfMC's [[Hardcore]] gamemode. |
|
| |
|
| While not intended to be an RPG server, Gamma will have storylines, quests, and other RPG elements over time.
| | == Worlds == |
|
| |
|
| == Resource Pack == | | === Trenzalore & Trenzalore Nether === |
| Gamma requires BadWolfMC's custom [[Resource Pack|resource pack]] (RP), and by default you will be prompted to allow the server to download it automatically for you (recommended). The RP is relatively small and may take a few moments to install the first time you log in. Thereafter you will not need to download the RP again unless it changes or you remove it from your computer. However, '''you will still experience a momentary pause every time you log in as the RP loads.''' '''''This pause is normal.''''' Download and load times will vary based on your internet connection and computer. Please note that this is a customized version of the RP made specifically for BadWolfMC -- similar versions from other sources will not work.
| | Much like on [[BadWolfMC Alpha]], resource gathering on Gamma is prohibited in Trenzalore (the main overworld) and the Trenzalore Nether (the main nether world), and is instead limited to the three resource worlds. We have preserved some of the previous mechanics from our magical worlds and nether portals remain inactive. The Trenzalore Nether can only be accessed for the first time by making the perilous journey to the temple at Mt. Etna (approx. 2,500 blocks south of spawn) in which a portal to the Trenzalore Nether can be found. Upon entering the temple the Etna warp will be unlocked in your '''/warps''' menu for future use. Homes and residences can also be used normally once created. |
|
| |
|
| This custom resource pack is intended to go '''on top of''' your favorite resource pack (or the default). It changes items that are (for the most part) not obtainable in vanilla Minecraft, allowing you to keep the look you prefer. We highly recommend either allowing the automatic installation or [https://magic.badwolfmc.com/rp/BadWolfMC-RP-9-0.zip downloading] the standalone pack since otherwise the Gamma experience will be very odd indeed.
| | === Resource Worlds === |
| | The main overworld resource world is accessed by the '''/resource''' command or by using '''/warps''' and selecting the Resource World icon. |
|
| |
|
| == Game Play Highlights ==
| | The Resource End and Resource Nether worlds can be accessed for the first time through the magical temples at Lyonnesse (approx. 2,000 blocks north of spawn) and Mt. Etna (approx. 2,500 blocks south of spawn), respectively. The trip to each temple must only be made once since entering each temple will unlock its warp in the '''/warps''' menu. |
| Gamma's Magic gamemode is quite different from what players have grown accustomed to on our [[Alpha]] and [[Beta]] servers. '''Many commands in Gamma have been disabled and replaced by spells''' which are learned and improved over time by use and advancing through the game.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Your First Wand ===
| | All three resource worlds are reset approximately every 6 months as needed. |
| The first thing players should do upon spawning in Gamma is to collect the pieces for and craft their first wand. This process is facilitated by a quest given by the mayor in the Town Hall. Upon crafting their first wand, players will have three spells in their wand inventories: Magic Missile, Recall, and Phase.
| |
|
| |
|
| * '''Magic Missile''' is your basic offensive and defensive spell, which increases in power and range as the spell is leveled up. Over time it will likely replace most uses of both sword and bow.
| | === Portals === |
| | | Due to a glitch in the Time Matrix, nether and end portals are all permanently disabled. Instead, explore Trenzalore to discover the temples that house the mystical portals to these worlds. When these temples are discovered you will also unlock the associated /warps, then of course homes and residences can be used as normal. |
| * '''Recall''' is your basic warp spell. By default players only have access to the "Camelot" (spawn) and "WitherArena" warps, but can unlock additional warps by visiting those locations on the map. Recall somewhat replaces "/back" functionality (which is disabled) and, as the spell is leveled up, will add the ability to return to your last death location and to add a marker that functions as an extra mobile home. Please note that the usual [[Residence]] and [[Teleporting & Homes|/homes]] command-based behavior persists on Gamma.
| |
| | |
| * '''Phase''' is similar to Recall but has one very important function: it allows you to phase through dimensions to the parallel world of uolɐʌ∀, Gamma's resource world.
| |
| | |
| === Magical Worlds ===
| |
| ==== Avalon & Angrenost ====
| |
| Much like on [[BadWolfMC Alpha]], resource gathering on Gamma is prohibited in Avalon (main overworld) and Angrenost (the nether), and is instead limited to Camlann (The End) and the world on "the other side": uolɐʌ∀. '''However, there should be no mining ''at all'' on Avalon, not even around your base, except for any areas you need to clear to build your base.''' Avalon & Angrenost are considered permanent worlds and do not have a reset schedule. Your builds are safe in these worlds.
| |
| | |
| ==== uolɐʌ∀, Annwyn, & Camlann ====
| |
| uolɐʌ∀ is a dark and corrupted version of Avalon, in a parallel universe where Morgan le Fay was ultimately victorious. It contains increased levels of magical mobs and is patrolled by dragons and artificial life forms made up of blocks called "Automata" that run variations of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life Conway's Game of Life]. Players can access uolɐʌ∀ by using the '''Phase''' spell, and like on Alpha, '''all raiding and mining should be done on uolɐʌ∀'''.
| |
| | |
| Annwyn and Camlann are Gamma's resource nether and end dimensions, respectively. Camlann can only be accessed through the magical temple at Lyonnesse (approx. 2,000 blocks north of spawn), while Annwyn can be accessed through the temple at Mt. Etna (approx. 2,500 blocks south of spawn). The trip to each temple must only be made once since each location will unlock a recall location.
| |
| | |
| All three worlds are reset approximately every 6 months.
| |
| | |
| ==== Portals ====
| |
| Due to a glitch in the Time Matrix, nether and end portals are all permanently disabled. Instead, explore Avalon to discover the temples that house the magical portals to these worlds. When these temples are discovered you will also unlock the associated magical warps that can be used with your Recall spell, then of course homes and residences can be used as normal. | |

| == FAQ == | | == FAQ == |
| === Why can't I teleport to my friends?! === | | === Can I still use /back? === |
| You can. You just have to earn it first. :) Look for the "Transmat" spell or use your homes or the extra marker in the "Recall" spell near the homes of players you visit often, with their permission of course. | | You can! Just not on death. The /back command now works only to return you to your previous location after a teleport. |
| | |
| === I just earned a new spell but it disappeared! ===
| |
| Each wand has several '''pages''' in its spell inventory to allow room for several hundred spells. Likely your spell went to another page. To turn the pages you can click an empty slot in the main body of your wand inventory (not the hotbar), click outside of your wand inventory, or use your drop key to cycle through the inventory pages - you'll probably find your spell in one of these. Use an empty space in your hotbar to move spells around and organize your spell inventory as you see fit.
| |
| | |
| === Where can I mine? ===
| |
| Quite strictly, only in uolɐʌ∀ (The Other Side - overworld resources), Annwyn (nether resources), & Camlann (end resources). In Avalon and Angrenost both, only clear out areas you need to build your base and no more.
| |
|
| |
|
| === My wand is closed but my main inventory still has spells in it!? === | | === Is there an end grinder? === |
| Always be sure to close your wand before logging out or before a server restart. If you log out with your wand inventory open, the game may save your wand inventory as your main inventory, making your main inventory difficult or impossible to retrieve.
| | There isn't a server XP farm at least, although players may create public farms (within the [https://www.badwolfmc.com/server-rules/ rules]) and post them on the Community Board inside the Tardis. Merlin's Tower can also be accessed in the '''/warps''' menu for a free enchanting table and anvils. |
|
| |
|
| === How do I level up? === | | === Is there a live map for the resource world? === |
| Obtain all of the spells in your current level to graduate to the next. This is intended to be a slow process. Spells also have their own individual level system, dependent on where you are on your mage path and how many times you've successfully cast the spell.
| | Yes and no. The Gamma resource worlds are copies of the Alpha resource worlds, so the map would be the same. To preserve significant resources in generating and storing the map we opted not to include a map on Gamma. If players are interested in finding a specific biome in the Gamma resource world they can note the coordinates of that biome from the [https://alpha.badwolfmc.com/ Alpha resource world map] and travel to the same coordinates in the Gamma resource world. |
|
| |
|
| === My cooldowns don't match up - what's going on? === | | === How do the warps work? === |
| Spells have individual cooldown timers depending on the level of the spell. As you level up and as you level up the spell, those cooldown timers will decrease. However, your wand also has a built-in cooldown in the form of Mana, which is essentially your energy level. If you deplete your Mana, you will not be able to cast a spell until your Mana sufficiently regenerates. Different spells have different Mana costs per cast, so the cooldown timer shown may also be affected by your Mana level.
| | The '''/warps''' menu works much the same as it does on [[BadWolfMC Alpha|Alpha]], although some warps need to be unlocked first by physically visiting the target location. This is hardcore after all! We can't make it TOO easy for you! |
|
| |
|
| === Why are my spells being undone?! === | | === How do the seasons work? === |
| Many spells have only temporary effects - especially those that alter the world. This doesn't make them less dangerous as serious damage can still be inflicted. The permanent world-altering spells are mostly limited to the Engineer level.
| | To keep things interesting, Gamma will experience "seasons" in which mechanics may differ or additional rules or conditions may be implemented. These will be decided by the community via a poll held on our Discord server. A new season does not necessarily mean that the map will be reset, and could be something quite small. Season One, for example, simply had an increase in random custom mob spawns. |

BadWolfMC Gamma is the third server in the BadWolfMC Network. It was willed into being at 10:00am on Wednesday October 24, 2018, opened for beta testing on July 25, 2019, and widely released on July 30, 2019. It featured our magical survival worlds until August 2024, and now plays host to BadWolfMC's Hardcore gamemode.
Worlds
Trenzalore & Trenzalore Nether
Much like on BadWolfMC Alpha, resource gathering on Gamma is prohibited in Trenzalore (the main overworld) and the Trenzalore Nether (the main nether world), and is instead limited to the three resource worlds. We have preserved some of the previous mechanics from our magical worlds and nether portals remain inactive. The Trenzalore Nether can only be accessed for the first time by making the perilous journey to the temple at Mt. Etna (approx. 2,500 blocks south of spawn) in which a portal to the Trenzalore Nether can be found. Upon entering the temple the Etna warp will be unlocked in your /warps menu for future use. Homes and residences can also be used normally once created.
Resource Worlds
The main overworld resource world is accessed by the /resource command or by using /warps and selecting the Resource World icon.
The Resource End and Resource Nether worlds can be accessed for the first time through the magical temples at Lyonnesse (approx. 2,000 blocks north of spawn) and Mt. Etna (approx. 2,500 blocks south of spawn), respectively. The trip to each temple must only be made once since entering each temple will unlock its warp in the /warps menu.
All three resource worlds are reset approximately every 6 months as needed.
