From the vast expanse of snow and ice that covers the north in a coat of white, to the barren and perilous deserts that stretch across its southern border. The world of Ithania has a prominent and special place in MassiveCraft’s faction history.

Over the past few months Ithania has been faithfully recreated by MonMarty and Staff Members from World and Lore Departments that capture the essence of Ithania while simultaneously taking huge strides forward in world design, asset quality and biome creation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will there be PVP on release?
A: No, PVP will be off for 24 hours.

How will the release change compared to Essa?
A: To prevent any “squishing” incidents, players will be able to teleport to Ithania. You will be surrounded in a large box surrounded by glass, which will be removed at the time of release.

Will there be ‘natural time’ for players to explore Ithania before release?
A: There will likely not be any time for this.

What sort of moderation will be present at release to prevent unfair advantage (Elytra Glitching etc.)?
A: Elytras will be enabled. Mobs will not be present for 24 hours. The teleport into the glass box of Ithania’s spawn will be available beginning an hour before release. The glass box will be removed for everyone to explore once an in-game countdown has reached zero.

Will alt factions be allowed in Ithania?
A: No.
Ever?
A: Likely not.

What is the maximum amount of chunks I can claim in Ithania?
A: No limit, unless gaining claim power by abusing alt accounts. In this case, all claim will be removed.

What claiming limitations are present?
A: All chunks you claim will need to be connected. “Bridging” claims, meaning claiming a narrow line between two locations, is not allowed.

What will the spawn be called?
A: Havenreach

Will the spawn be the same as OG Ithania?
A: No

Will I be able to rent regions in Havenreach?
A: Yes, at some point we will add rentals.

“Something isn’t right. The library- it was just a place of knowledge and history! An archive! Why would someone think to burn it down?”

Screams pierce the dead of night around Fort Presford. The library has been attacked, torched, and ruined beyond repair. Charred floorboards and desecrated books are all that remain. All the knowledge and history, gone to waste… Why would someone do such a thing unprovoked?

“The library was just the beginning. They destroy everything just to get to what they want. How do you think you stand a chance against them?”

Join us in the coming weeks for an extended survival event, the scale of which has never been seen before in this history of Massivecraft.

Left unchecked, this unknown threat could change the face of Essalonia forever. Prepare in all aspects for the worst, it will likely be a tough road ahead.

Much more information is to follow, with planned announcements at each chapter of The Ezekiel Event to guide you through each chapter, and inform you on the new systems that we will put in place to reward players who impactfully participate in The Ezekiel Event with extremely rare rewards.

To initiate the Ezekiel Event, speak to the Mayor of Fort Presford following the attack on the library. He should have some useful information for you.

​With the announcement of these three projects, this concludes the MassiveCraft Factions Holiday Bundle. We really hope you enjoy and make the most of all the projects released in both bundles, with much more to come in the near future! From all of us on the MassiveCraft team, we wish you a very Happy Holidays!
