Welcome to DCraft
Diablo-inspired Factions Survival



What is DCraft?

DCraft is a Diablo-inspired Minecraft survival server focused on factions, exploration, PvP, and community progression.

Our goal is to blend the dark, adventurous atmosphere of Diablo with classic faction survival gameplay. Players can build powerful factions, claim land, form alliances, wage wars, and grow their influence in a persistent world.

Whether you enjoy building, fighting, trading, exploring, or community projects — there is a place for you here.



Your First 30 Minutes on DCraft

Starting on a new factions server can feel overwhelming. This quick guide will help you get started smoothly.

Step 1 — Explore Spawn
When you join, you will spawn inside the Rogue Encampment. This area contains important NPCs and server utilities.

Take a few minutes to explore spawn and get familiar with the layout.

Step 2 — Join or Create a Faction
Factions are the core of the server.

Use these commands:
/f create <name>or join an existing faction through chat or Discord.

Playing solo is allowed, but joining a faction is strongly recommended.

Step 3 — Leave Spawn & Find Land
Head out into the wilderness to begin your journey. Look for a location to build your base.

Try to travel a fair distance away from spawn before settling.

Step 4 — Claim Your Land
Once you find a base location, claim it to protect your builds.

Basic claiming commands:
/f claim/f map
Claiming land protects your base from enemies and griefing.

Step 5 — Gather Resources & Establish Your Base
Start gathering:
• Wood 
• Stone 
• Food 
• Iron 

Your first goal is to build a safe starter base and prepare for survival.

Step 6 — Connect with the Community
Join the Discord and introduce yourself! Factions recruit regularly and alliances are always forming.

You don't have to play alone 🙂


How to Progress on DCraft

Starting a new world can feel overwhelming, so here's a simple progression path to help guide your journey.

There is no single "right way" to play — but this path will help you grow quickly and stay safe.



Early Game Goals

Your first focus should be survival and safety.

Early game checklist:
• Join or create a faction 
• Find a base location away from spawn 
• Claim your land 
• Build a starter base 
• Gather iron gear and food 
• Meet other players and make allies 

Your goal is to become stable and secure.



Mid Game Goals

Once your faction has a safe base, it's time to grow stronger.

Mid game objectives:
• Expand and improve your base 
• Recruit faction members 
• Establish farms and resource production 
• Upgrade gear and enchantments 
• Explore the world and nearby factions 

This is where diplomacy, alliances, and rivalries begin to form.



Late Game Goals

The late game is where the server becomes truly competitive.

Late game focus:
• Fortify and hide your main base 
• Build faction infrastructure and defenses 
• Participate in wars and raids 
• Dominate territory and influence the world 
• Help shape the community and server events 

This stage is all about faction power, strategy, and long-term survival.



Play Your Way

You can enjoy DCraft however you like:
• Builder

• Fighter 
• Trader 
• Recruiter 
• Community leader 

Every playstyle has a place here.



Raiding & PvP Basics

DCraft is a factions survival server, which means conflict, rivalry, and strategy are all part of the experience.

Raiding and PvP are meant to be exciting and competitive, but also fair and fun for everyone involved.



Understanding PvP

Outside of safe areas like spawn, the wilderness can be dangerous.

Be prepared:
• Always carry food and armor 
• Travel with faction members when possible 
• Avoid carrying all your valuables at once 
• Expect unexpected encounters

If you venture into the world, you should always be ready to defend yourself.



Raiding Basics

Raiding is a core part of faction gameplay.

Factions can become vulnerable if their power drops below the amount of land they have claimed. When this happens, their territory can be raided.

This means other players may be able to:
• Break blocks 
• Access chests 
• Steal resources 

Protecting your power and defending your base is extremely important.



How to Protect Your Base

Basic survival tips:
• Avoid building directly on the surface 
• Use hidden or underground bases 
• Don't reveal your base location to strangers 
• Build defenses and backup storage 
• Work together with faction members

The safest bases are the ones nobody finds.



Fair Play & Respect

PvP and raiding are part of the game, but respect the community.

• No cheating or exploiting 
• Be a good sport in victory and defeat 
• Remember there are real players behind the screen 

Healthy competition keeps the server fun for everyone.
