Play with Essential to host peer-to-peer!
Play one of three factions, each with their unique mechanics and styles
Villagers
The desperate alliance of villagers and illagers who have banded together to protect their home against invaders. Villager ingenuity combined with illager militarism make for a formidable army of warriors and spellcasters backed by farmers, builders and craftsmen. Transform the humble village into a fortress!
Monsters
The previously wild and untamed creatures of the overworld now brought together by mysterious forces. Raise the dead from graveyards, hatch spiders from nests and more. Monsters shun sunlight and can only safely venture outside at night, but once night falls, they should be feared just as they have been for ages past.
Piglins
The denizens of the nether who have come through portals to expand their empire. Piglins can only build on nether terrain, but wherever they expand the overworld is transformed into a visage of their home, turning grass into nylium and stone into netherrack. Conquer the overworld and let none stand in your way!
🎮 Playing a game
To start a match, press F12 to go into RTS camera and use the top-right buttons to place your starting workers. If you're playing on an RTS PvP map like one from the map pack, use the F9 menu to start a match with other players.
Change gamemodes by right clicking the gamemode button at the top right:
- 🏛️ Classic: The classic RTS experience in FFA or teams. Destroy all of your opponents' buildings to win.
- 🏕️ Wave Survival: Survive brutal waves of enemies each night, solo or with allies.
- 💠 King of the Beacon: Fight for control of a central Beacon. Unlock powerful auras and defend it to win.
- 🏗️ Sandbox: Build a custom map by freely placing units and buildings
