Welcome to Emberwake
Familiar blocks.
Uncharted possibilities.
The freedom of Minecraft. The depth of an RPG. Discover a world that keeps growing while you find your own way.
More than a place.
02 / NEW HORIZONS
Build. Take the helm. Fly.
Your airship. Built from real blocks.
03 / SMALL WONDERS
A world that works together.
Copper golems keep the warehouse in order.
RPG on top
Vanilla stays vanilla. Emberwake layers a role-playing world on top of the game without replacing it — you lose nothing, you gain a world.
Zero setup
Log in and play. No mods, no client installation, no configuration — everything happens on the server.
Command-free
Everything that matters happens in the world itself: signs, menus, items. You will never need a command line.
What awaits you
A world full of embers
Every system feeds into the next — and it all runs on its own while you play.
Arcane Magic
More than 35 spells, tiered magic wands, arcane trinkets — and a mastery rank you earn for every single spell.
Living Settlements
Villages that build themselves: residents plan roads, raise houses, run warehouses and mines — fully automatic, while you watch.
Skills up to Level 100
Level your skills all the way to 100 and unlock meaningful milestone bonuses along the way.
Arcane Quarry
A magical quarry that mines for you — with a visible mining beam and ten upgrade tiers from novice to masterwork.
Discover four more possibilities
Marketplace & Trade
Open your own shops from a chest and a sign, trade with players and merchants — an economy the server itself keeps alive.
Marriage & Shared Life
Share your balance, land and chests — and grow together with couple perks you cannot get alone.
Waystones & Travel
Discover waystones across the world and travel between them with ease. Death stays gentle — adventure should be fun, not punishing.
Claims & Protection
Protect your home in seconds. What is yours stays yours — even while you are offline.
The World
A closer look
Three examples of how the world around you changes.
Towns that grow
A town starts with only a few huts and grows alongside its residents. Builders plan new plots and gradually construct larger buildings — until even a town hall with a bell tower stands at its centre. Paths and tunnels connect it with nearby settlements.
- Builders prepare plots and construct new buildings
- A copper golem sorts supplies in the warehouse
- Paths and tunnels connect neighbouring towns
How magic works
Every spell looks different and has an effect of its own: some launch projectiles, while others create a healing area. You learn most of them from scrolls. Three special spells unlock automatically once your magic reaches a high enough level.
- Thirty-eight spells across six schools
- Seven kinds of wand, each in three tiers
- Nine trinkets with special abilities
Moving structures and airships
Use hinges and rope winches to build working drawbridges, portcullises and lifts. At the shipyard, you can even turn ordinary blocks into an airship of your own and pilot it yourself.
- Moving gates, bridges and lifts built with hinges and rope winches
- Airships made from real blocks and steered at the helm
- After landing, the airship becomes a normal walkable structure again

Roadmap
What is still to come
These features are next on the list. There are no fixed release dates yet.
PowerworksIn progress
Waterwheels and windmills are intended to power machines such as mills, sawmills, mixers and bellows. The system is still being developed and tested.
Long-distance roadsIn progress
Neighbouring towns can already be connected by paths. Longer roads across varied terrain are not yet reliable.
The schools of magicPlanned
Specialising in a school of magic already reduces your mana use. More benefits for specialisations are planned.
Wilderness and land rightsPlanned
Before the server opens to more players, there will be clear rules for building and ownership outside the towns.
Before you set out
Good to
know.
Can I play already?
Emberwake is in closed alpha. Request an invitation; once approved, set up your account and find the server address in your signed-in area.
Do I need mods?
The RPG features run on the server. You do not need client mods to play. The optional shader pack needs Iris on your computer.
Which download is right for me?
The resource pack provides the 3D models. EmberwakeShaders adds lighting and reflections; PBR supplies optional material detail. You only need the plugin if you run your own Paper server.
Can I still just build?
Absolutely. You can explore magic, professions and the village systems at your own pace — or simply play Minecraft the way you enjoy it.
