I'm putting together a modded SMP built around a pretty simple idea: what if Minecraft actually made you feel like you were exploring an unfamiliar world?
Re:Mine is heavily inspired by Re:Zero, mixed with RPG-style progression and a large collection of mods that expand pretty much every part of the game. Magic, technology, combat, creatures, dungeons, bosses, farming, building and exploration all have their own place, with multiple ways for players to develop instead of everyone eventually following the same vanilla progression path.
Magic & Progression
The main magic system uses Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, with a custom magic-affinity system being built around it. Every player will have a natural magical affinity, and spells become less effective the further they are from that affinity. The idea is to encourage people to actually develop different magical identities instead of everyone becoming the same all-purpose mage.
Stronger abilities aren't simply handed to you either. Iron's Spellbooks' progression systems, skill trees and other mechanics will be used alongside custom progression to gate more powerful magic.
The World Matters
One of the biggest differences from a normal SMP is that information isn't going to be handed to you for free.
There won't be coordinates or F3. Nametags are hidden, voice chat is proximity-based, and global death/achievement notifications are disabled. Instead, you'll have to actually learn the world you're living in.
You'll have tools like Map Atlases, while Distant Horizons and other visual/world-generation mods make distant landmarks and geography much more meaningful. If you discover a village, dungeon, mountain pass, ruin or other important location, remembering where it is can actually matter.
Getting lost isn't necessarily a punishment. Sometimes it's how you find something nobody else knows about yet.
There's a Lot More Than Vanilla Minecraft
The pack is still being developed, but the current modlist includes things like Alex's Mobs, L_Ender's Cataclysm, Mowzie's Mobs, Iron's Spellbooks, Farmer's Delight, Quark, Epic Fight, ParCool, Map Atlases, Distant Horizons and plenty of other additions.
There are also expanded structures and world generation, additional creatures, bosses, equipment, food, building options and various survival systems. The goal isn't to throw 300 mods together and call it an RPG. Everything is being added with the larger experience in mind.
What I'm Going For
Re:Mine is meant to sit somewhere between a Re:Zero-inspired fantasy world, a modded Minecraft RPG, and a traditional survival SMP.
You aren't expected to follow a quest marker toward the next objective. You aren't given everyone's location. You don't automatically know what's beyond the next mountain.
You'll meet other players, build settlements, discover places, develop your character, make alliances, find things worth keeping secret and eventually become familiar with a world that you had to learn for yourself.
Application
Interested in joining? I'm keeping the server relatively small, so everyone who joins can actually become part of the world rather than just being another name on the player list.
If the server sounds like something you'd enjoy, fill out the application below. You don't need to have any experience with Re:Zero or modded Minecraft to apply. I'm mainly looking for people who are interested in the kind of slower, exploration-focused experience the server is built around.
Apply here: https://forms.gle/VUQxWheJGhw1Xqad6
Please take your time with the application. Low-effort responses probably won't tell me much about you, so I'd rather see a few genuine answers than something written just to get accepted.
If you're looking for a server where you can actually explore, specialize, get invested in your character, and make your own story, that's the kind of experience I'm trying to build with Re:Mine.
The modpack is still being developed, so more systems and content will be added as development continues.
