FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions about FireCraft SMP.

What Minecraft version do I need?
We run the latest stable Paper build. We recommend matching your client to the current server version for the best experience. Check the Discord for the exact version.
What is Lifesteal SMP?
In a Lifesteal SMP, killing another player steals one of their hearts and adds it to your own. Lose all your hearts and you're out. It makes every fight carry real stakes.
How do I report a player or griefer?
Login and use the Support section to open a ticket. Select Player Report as the category and include the player name, time, and any screenshots or evidence.
Can I appeal a ban or a rejected application?
Yes. Open a support ticket with the Whitelist / Application category or reach out to staff directly on Discord.

What are the Custom Powers and how do they work?
FireCraft has 11 unique plugin-based powers — Fire, Dark, Wind, Ice, Lightning, Trader, Rift, Warden, Wither, Dragon, and Gravity. Each gives you an active ability (Sneak + Right-click) and a permanent passive effect. 7 of them are on the first-join spin wheel (Fire, Dark, Wind, Ice, Lightning, Trader, Rift). Warden, Wither, Dragon and Gravity can only be crafted from shards. Kill a player in PvP and steal their power Shard. See the Features page for the full breakdown.
What is the Lifesteal mechanic exactly?
When you kill another player you gain +1 max heart. When another player kills you, you lose 1 max heart. If your max hearts reach 0 you are eliminated from the server. You start with 10 hearts. Every fight matters — there is no respawn safety net.
Are there safe zones where PvP is disabled?
Yes — only spawn. Spawn is a safe zone — no PvP, no building, no breaking. Everywhere else PvP is always on. Luring a player out of spawn to kill them is treated as an exploit and can result in a ban. Check the rules for specifics.
How does travel work? Is there /tpa or /rtp?
FireCraft is vanilla-first — there is no /tpa, /rtp, or teleport plugin. Travel is done by foot, boat, horse, or through the Nether. The Nether provides an 8× distance advantage (1 block in the Nether = 8 blocks in the Overworld), so players build Nether highways to connect bases efficiently.
How does the economy work? Is there a shop or currency plugin?
There is no currency plugin or admin shop. The economy is player-driven and diamond-based, just like vanilla Minecraft survival. Players trade items directly using item frames, chest shops, or private deals. Value is set by the community.
What are Custom Armors and how do I get them?
FireCraft has five custom armor sets crafted with special materials found in the world. Each set gives unique bonuses beyond standard Minecraft enchantments. The exact recipes are discoverable in-game — asking staff or other players is fair game.
What are Custom Mobs / companions?
FireCraft has over 60 tameable custom mob companions that can fight, follow, and assist you. Each companion type has its own abilities. You tame them with the right items found in the world. Companions can be a major advantage in both PvE and PvP situations.
What mods and clients are allowed?
Performance mods are allowed (Sodium, Optifine, Iris, Lithium). Mini-map mods are allowed as long as they do not show player locations. X-ray, kill-aura, auto-clickers, fly hacks, and any mod that gives an unfair PvP or mining advantage are permanently bannable. When in doubt, ask staff before using a mod.
Can I grief or raid other players?
Outside spawn, yes. Raiding, breaking bases, looting chests and picking up death loot are all part of Lifesteal — so protect your base. Spawn itself is a safe zone — no PvP, no building, no breaking. See the rules for full details.
How do I get un-eliminated after losing all hearts?
If you reach 0 hearts, you are eliminated. To get back in you must either earn hearts from another player (some players choose to give hearts as a gift or trade), or open a support ticket explaining your situation. Revival is not guaranteed and is at staff discretion.
