DominionCraft
by Darkness404
With DominionCraft, players claim land and set rules for cities they found, join or invite others into, and manage on a Forge server.
What it does
DominionCraft is a Forge minigame-style mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 that changes how players build and govern cities. A player starts a new city, claims land around it with a city claim, and can remove claimed land with a city unclaim or delete the whole city with a single command. Other players join a city, leave it, or are invited and kicked out by its members.
Each city has its own rule set, changed with a city toggle command. The rules cover mob spawning, explosions, player versus player combat and the time of day. A city can also be closed to new members or reopened, so an owner decides who may join. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on client and server.
The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 but is not open source. Its files target 1.12.2 only, and the latest Forge build is 0.2, an alpha release published on 2024-12-18.
Key features
City creation
A new city is started with a command, and claimed land is added or removed around it as the city grows.
Membership control
Invite, kick, join and leave commands let city owners decide who belongs to their city.
Open and closed cities
A city can be opened to anyone or closed to new members with a single command, and changed later.
Per-city rules
Mob spawning, explosions, player versus player combat and time settings can each be enabled or disabled for a city.
