# Welcome to PlagueMC

<p class="callout warning">**☣ SURVIVOR NOTICE**  
The gates are open. The world is not especially interested in keeping you alive.</p>

The gates are open. The world is not especially interested in keeping you alive.

PlagueMC is a **hard-mode survival server** wearing a few comforts over the top like a suspiciously clean bandage. Build something worth remembering, trade with the other doomed optimists, explore the map, and carve out a corner of the world before the world carves something out of you.

## ☣ What awaits you

- Survival at **Hard** difficulty
- A persistent shared world with Java and Bedrock cross-play
- Player economy, shops, homes, teleport requests, and random teleportation
- Protected containers and doors
- A live web map
- Levelled mobs and a handful of quality-of-life features
- A small community where your reputation matters

This is not a disposable minigame lobby. The things you build, the people you meet, and the trouble you cause all become part of the server's history.

<p class="callout info">**🗺 New arrival?** Read this book in order. In about fifteen minutes you can be connected, equipped, and established—assuming the night does not get to you first.</p>

## ⚖ The survivor’s code

Be decent. Do not steal, grief, cheat, or ruin another player's time. The mobs already handle senseless violence perfectly well; they do not need an assistant. Use common sense, ask when unsure, and report problems instead of escalating them.

Welcome to PlagueMC. Try not to become part of the scenery.
