Description
ROOTBOUND; Custom Progression Survival
26.2 and NO P2W - Loaded with Custom Plugins amidst a Vanilla Server!
Rootbound is a survival server built around the idea that Minecraft is more fun when there’s always something else to work toward. It still plays like survival Minecraft, but there’s a huge layer of custom progression underneath it. This is a love letter to roguelike progression games, where the randomized skill tree + town builder system is 100% different for every single player.
Some of what we’ve built:
-60 progression ranks with increasingly difficult requirements and rewards
-Now 12+ skills with persistent XP and levels
-Randomized talent trees that let players build their character differently
-Custom Tools that earn fragments, gain upgrades, and evolve as you use them
-Randomized Missions and Contracts with long-term progression rewards
-Mastery systems for Farming, Mining, Lumber, Combat, Fishing, and more
-Rare custom armour sets with individual effects and full-set bonuses
-Custom fishing with dozens of fish, rarities, trophies, species mastery, Fishing Missions, and an upgradeable Rootbound Rod
-Claim NPCs including a Blacksmith, Alchemist, Quartermaster, and Angler. These NPCs can be upgraded, unlock shops, utilities, passive bonuses, and progression
-Player claims, homes, warps, player warps, and chest shops
-Server-wide Boons players can purchase for everyone
-React games, leaderboards, milestones, rewards, and plenty of smaller systems
-Lots of progression designed for both casual players and people who really enjoy grinding
No Pay-to-Win
Rootbound is not built around selling progression. It’s what I personally think ruins servers these days.
Ranks, skills, tools, talents, NPC upgrades, money, and progression are earned by actually playing the server, and getting those rewards and achievements with well-spent time and goal-getting.
Still in Beta
I am updating Rootbound whenever my brain decides to start moving quickly. (which, surprisingly, is pretty often lately!)
New features are being added regularly, existing systems are constantly being polished, and player feedback has a real impact on what gets worked on next.
The community is still growing, so this is a good time to get established early and be part of where the server goes.
If you like Vanilla Survival Minecraft but want a lot more progression, goals, upgrades, and things to discover, come check out Rootbound!
