BUILT FOR RISK
Relic Shards
PvP kills and special crafting feed the upgrade economy.
Combat Risk
PvP deaths matter because tier loss and shard drops create real stakes.
Allies
Small ally groups let players cooperate without huge faction bloat.
Resource Pack
Custom textures and relic visuals give the server its own identity.
HOW THE FIGHT WORKS
Forge SMP combat is built around four core systems. Every fight, every death, every shard you gain or lose flows through these.
Combat Tag
PvP damage applies a 45-second combat tag. Logging out while tagged triggers the death penalty automatically. PvE damage and deaths do not count.
Shard Drops
Killing a tagged enemy drops a physical Relic Shard at the kill location. Shards are the main fuel for tier progression and can be stolen back.
Tier Loss
Dying in PvP costs one relic tier. Your relic does not drop, but the lost tier converts into the shard your killer can claim.
Ally Cap
Each player can ally up to three others, forming teams of four. Allies cannot damage each other and share identity colors in chat.
HOW TO JOIN
Three steps from zero to forging your first relic. The whole process takes about a minute.
Get Java Edition
Make sure you have Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11. Bedrock and pocket editions are not supported.
Add The Server
Open Multiplayer, click Add Server, and paste forgesmp.org as the server address.
Forge Your Path
Accept the required resource pack on join, then visit a temple to lock in your element.
CHANGELOG
v1.1
First wave of fixes and adjustments after Season 1 launch.
v1.0
Forge SMP Season 1 went live with the full custom progression and PvP system.
v1.2
Major content drop expanding the relic roster with four new elements.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Forge SMP is public, seasonal, progression-based, and built around fair PvP. Choose your element at a temple, climb from tier 0 to tier 5, and risk your tier every fight.
Switch elements at any temple — but switching resets your tier to 0. Type /recipes for custom crafting and /relic for your current tier and upgrade cost.
Choose Your Element
Travel to a temple and interact with it to pick Fire, Ice, Strength, or Agility.
Setting Up a Base
Bases protect your storage behind a barrier while you're online. Raiders can only siege you while you're online — and only if they bring Siege Charges.
- ◆Run /base claim to get your Claim Tool
- ◆Gather: 1 Relic Shard, 16 Quartz Blocks, 16 Gold Blocks, 8 Diamond Blocks, 16 Redstone Blocks
- ◆Place a beacon, then right-click it with the Claim Tool while holding the materials
- ◆Use the Selection Tool on two corners of your claim, then confirm
- ◆Pay Quartz Block upkeep regularly or your barrier drops and you're vulnerable
- ◆Upgrade your base for more space — claims must be at least 200 blocks from spawn. Type /base to manage yours

No Cheating
No hacks, unfair clients, x-ray, dupes, exploits, or anything that gives an unfair advantage.

Spawn and element temples are protected spaces. Do not grief, trap, or abuse protected areas.

Respect Players
PvP is part of the server, but harassment, threats, and targeted toxicity are not allowed.
QUICK ANSWERS
Is Forge Plus pay-to-win?
No paid power. No gameplay advantage. Forge Plus is cosmetic-only — VFX, chat identity, early previews, and suggestion priority.
Does my relic drop on death?
Your relic does not drop. PvP deaths remove one tier and drop a physical Relic Shard.
Do I need the resource pack?
Yes. The resource pack is required so custom relics, shards, and server visuals display correctly.
How do I join?
Join on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 using forgesmp.org, then accept the required resource pack.
Can I play on Bedrock?
Forge SMP is Java Edition only. Bedrock and pocket editions are not supported.
Is the server whitelisted?
No, Forge SMP is fully public. Anyone can join with a legitimate Minecraft Java account.
What if I die in PvE?
PvE deaths do not trigger the combat-log penalty and you keep your tier. Only PvP and combat-logging cost tiers.
When does the season reset?
Seasons end with a full world reset. The end of Season 1 will be announced well in advance on Discord.
