Non-Vanilla Mechanics

All of the ways that Foundation Craft deviates from vanilla Minecraft

To keep the economy competitive and optimize server performance, Foundation Craft deviates from vanilla Minecraft in a few important ways, all of which are documented here.

• Mobs cannot spawn in claimed plots

• Clicking on beds makes players fully rested

• Withers cannot spawn near unbreakable blocks

• Players may trigger at most one raid per 12 hours

• Villager breeding is disabled in all worlds

• Building and mob spawns are disabled on The Nether roof

• Mobs and items cannot travel through End Portals

• Players will die if they log out while engaged in player-versus-player combat

• Zombie villager curing is nerfed by clearing villager reputations during restock

• Dropped items will instantly de-spawn if you teleport away (not death drops though)

Villagers Getting Sick

Villagers in The Wilderness have a small chance of getting sick when restocking their trades. When a villager gets sick, they may get other nearby villagers sick causing them to die. This de-incentivizes players from aggregating lots of villagers in the same location in The Wilderness.

Wealth Transfer Limits

As documented on our Server Rules page, there are limits on how much wealth players are allowed to transfer to other players. In most cases, the server will automatically enforce this rule.

Mob Spawn Limits

There are a finite number of mobs that can spawn in each location on the server. If there are too many mobs in one area then new mobs will be temporarily restricted from spawning in that area. The limit is different for each world but this restriction should not impact normal gameplay.

Block Place Limits

There are limits on how many blocks can be placed in settlements, homes, and wilderness plots for each of the following types of blocks:

• Minecarts

• Pistons

• Hoppers

• Armor Stands

• Brewing Stands

• Storage Containers (Chests, Barrels, and Shulker Boxes)

• Redstone Blocks (Repeaters, Comparators, Observers, Dispensers, and Droppers)

• Furnaces (Includes Blast Furnaces and Smokers)

If you are in The Wilderness, you can view the number of limited blocks placed in the plot that you are currently standing in using the /plot limits command. This command is also available in The Frontier, although limits in The Frontier are based on settlements and homes, not plots.

Use the /settlement limits command to view the limits for a settlement. Settlement limits increase when you upgrade the settlement using the /settlement upgrade command. Use the /home limits command to view the limits for a home or the /shop limits command to view limits for a shop. Home and shop limits increase when you claim additional plots for the home or shop.
