thedrophole — discord-linked LARP system, persistent characters, monthly themed worlds (small, brand new, looking for RPers)
Hey. Me and a friend have been building this for about a month. It's small and brand new, and we're specifically looking for roleplayers to help shape what it becomes. Most of what runs on it we wrote ourselves.
Persistent characters across discord and minecraft
Your character lives in both places at once. Chat syncs both ways, so you can stay in-character from discord even when you're not online. Your character has AP, perks, and a faction that persist between sessions. Discord polls resolve as in-game effects, so faction decisions and server events have actual weight.
The point is that you stay attached to your character. Logging off doesn't break the world.
Monthly themed worlds
The whole server changes look every month. Spawn gets rebuilt, the resource pack swaps, NPCs change, furniture and paintings change.
The current theme is The Amazing Digital Circus. The spawn NPCs are pomni, ragatha, jax, kinger, gangle, zooble, caine, and abel — and they actually speak with their show voice lines through the resource pack. It's the kind of thing that makes spawn feel alive instead of just being a hub.
Apartments
Every player gets one when they join. 46 of them in the spawn hub, each one a build region you can decorate freely. This is where the RP community has been settling in — people run shops, host events, build out their characters' homes. The themed seasons mean the building around your apartment changes look every month, so the world feels different to RP in season to season.
Faction politics
Factions have shared treasuries, can declare war, and can post bounties. Decisions are made through discord polls weighted by AP, so faction politics actually plays out as politics rather than just whoever logs in most. You can write a faction with whatever lore you want and the system supports it.
On the combat side
Worth being honest: the server does have raiding and a survival wilds where factions fight. Every player has a raidable toggle, though, so you can fully opt out of being a target and just RP. The raiding crowd and the RP crowd have been coexisting fine so far.
Other custom plugins
- Dynamic light from held torches (small thing, big immersion win)
- Erosion plugin so paths actually wear into the ground where people walk
- Launchpads and parkour
- Bedrock supported through Geyser
