Alpha Project

Objective

The alpha project consists in creating a server offering different places, each place dealing with a specific theme. On these locations, the player will have access to different activities, such as scripted adventures, guided tours, mini-games etc., all of which will allow the player to acquire a certain knowledge of the themes addressed, while being sufficiently immersive and entertaining for players to enjoy spending time on this server.

What themes will be present?

To make it simple: ALL.

Some of them will be harder to realize than others, everything related to space in particular or to very technical subjects like mathematics.

Having said that, we can easily imagine making reconstructions of Egypt and the construction of the pyramids, we can also send the player to fight at the front during the first or second world war, make him relive the discovery of America, plunge him back into the Jurassic era or even … make him glimpse a possible future based on current projects!

Some will be more difficult than others, especially those related to space or to very technical subjects such as mathematics. However, a lot of themes lend themselves perfectly to this environment! For example, the player can be sent to a reproduction of Egypt during the construction of the pyramids. You can also send them to fight at the front during the first or second world war, to relive the discovery of America, to plunge them back into the Jurassic era! Moreover, the themes are not limited to a real place and date. We can also imagine making the players live the events of famous books, launch them into the exploration of the human body or even … make them glimpse a possible future based on current projects!

Decorations for the “Greco-Roman Antiquity” theme, that will be adapted for them “Ancient Greece” theme.

Community participation

This project will also allow the Minecraft community to create their own themes. Indeed, a theme will be presented on a dedicated map and will work with dedicated plugins. Each map will then be linked to a lobby allowing players to choose the theme they want to explore. Any member or team of the Minecraft community can create a map on a given theme and then propose to integrate it to the server!

Conditions for creating themed maps

The server’s main objective is to be educational. Thus, a certain rigor is expected, as much on the quantity, the precision and the reliability of the information transmitted by the maps. The latter should be vanilla maps, all accompanied by one or more plugins/datapack to make them interactive and offer different fun activities. Each theme can also have its own resource-pack. For compatibility reasons, it is important to note that when a theme is set up on our server, the map will run under a CraftBukkit derivative (spigot or paper) and several plugins like ViaVersion, ViaBackward or Geyser will be installed on top of it. You will be able to submit your maps via the #contact channel on our discord server, or by mail at contact@altearn.xyz.
