The whole OreWars map from high above spawn: a green, wet middle with the Ring Sanctuary at its centre and dry land around it.

In closed testing. Opening soon.

OreWars

Get rich out there.
Then get it home alive.

Three rings. The further out, the richer.

One world, 5,000 blocks across, spawn in the middle. Walk out and the ore gets better and the rules stop protecting you. No teleports, no ender chests: what you mine, you carry home.

The Ring Sanctuary, the domed spawn hall, on a green hill in high sec.

0 to 750 blocks from spawn

High sec

You get
Nobody can attack you, your base is sealed, and dying costs you nothing.
The price
Only coal and copper in the ground. Iron starts 750 blocks out.
The Hill Keep, a ruined castle on a ridge in low sec at sunset.

750 to 1,750 blocks

Low sec

You get
Iron, gold, redstone and lapis, and four ruins that pay 8 diamonds a day.
The price
Carry ore or start a fight and anyone can attack you. Die flagged and you drop everything.
The Ziggurat, a stepped ruin in the red badlands of null sec.

1,750 blocks to the border

Null sec

You get
Diamonds, emeralds, four ruins that pay 32 diamonds a day, and the Sand Wither.
The price
Open PvP. Death drops everything.

Build a base nobody can break into.

Claim the ground and feed it ore. While it is paid, nobody else breaks a block, opens a chest or touches your animals. Not while you are out mining. Not while you sleep.

8 coalA day, for one chunk in high sec. Copper counts too. One iron ingot counts as nine coal.
3 days freeYour first base starts paid for three days. After that you can pay up to 30 days ahead.
7 daysStop paying and the base opens to everyone. Seven days later the land is gone.

What it costs

  • High sec8 coal a day for each chunk. Out here you pay with what you can mine safely.
  • Low sec16 a day for each chunk. Closer to the iron, and twice the price.
  • Bigger basesEvery extra chunk makes all of them 10% dearer. Four chunks in high sec: 42 coal a day, or 5 iron. Up to 25 chunks.
  • What countsCoal or copper 1. Redstone, lapis or quartz 2. Iron or gold 9. A diamond 72. Drop it into the Base Core in your base and close it.
  • Null secNo bases. Out there nothing is yours.

One base in high sec and one in low sec. Share it with the players you trust.

The ore grows back.

Mine a vein and it returns, somewhere else in the same chunk. Nobody strips this map bare. The spot you found last week is worth another trip.

How long it takes

  • Coal and copper6 hours in high sec. A day further out.
  • Iron, gold, redstone, lapis3 days in low sec. 7 days in null sec, where there is twice as much iron and gold.
  • Quartz14 days.
  • Diamonds and emeralds30 days, and only in null sec. They are rare on purpose: a diamond here is worth the walk.

It never grows back under a base. Nobody gets a private mine behind locked doors.

Tonight

Hold a ruin. Its chest pays you every day.

Two ruins open at a time, one in low sec and one in null sec, for 90 minutes. Stand within 12 blocks of the chest and clear the ring: 5 minutes in low sec, 8 in null sec. Die in the ring and you drop everything.

Type /landmarks in game to see which two open next.

A low sec chest pays, per day held

  • 256 iron
  • 128 gold
  • 192 redstone
  • 96 lapis
  • 8 diamonds

A null sec chest pays, per day held

  • 512 iron
  • 256 gold
  • 384 redstone
  • 192 lapis
  • 192 quartz
  • 32 diamonds
  • 32 emeralds

The chest fills for three days. Lose the ruin and the new holder loots what you left in it.

Eight ruins. Take one.

Four in low sec, four in null sec. Your group holds one in each ring, until someone takes it from you.

World bosses

Nobody knows when the next one rises. When it does, the whole server hears it, and everyone who wants the prize starts running.

AloneEvery boss can be fought solo. It grows with every fighter who joins, so one player can bring it down and twenty have a real fight.
3%Deal 3% of the damage and be alive in the arena when it falls. Walk out or die and you get nothing.
30 minNobody kills it in 30 minutes and it is gone. Nobody gets anything.

What a kill pays

  • Diamonds, for certainEvery fighter who earns a prize walks away with a stack in hand.
  • What you cannot mineTotems of undying, netherite ingots, shulker shells, enchanted golden apples.
  • The top threeDraw a second time, from a richer list.
  • Top damageOne chance in two at the rarest prize the boss has. An Elytra is one of them.

Then you carry it all home through null sec, where anyone can take it.

What we will never sell you

Power. No pay-to-win, no lootboxes, nothing in a shop that wins a fight. You mine it or you take it.
