Welcome to The Farlands!
[In Development]

What is this place?
The Farlands is an offline RPG with a vast map area of approximately 1.05 million blocks. The game is all vanilla, so no mods are required and everything is made with command blocks/functions. This map includes, but not limited to:
  • Unique Villages
  • Strongholds
  • Custom Weapons
  • Custom Enemies
  • Custom Map
  • Spells

What is the plot?
It's just another day and you're on your way home to your house from a fishing trip. When you finally return, you notice that everyone in the village is gone. Rushing to your home, you find a strange chest in the middle of your floor containing nothing but a sword and a note. The note instructs you to go the cave outside of the village. When you enter the cave, a mysterious man sits behind an altar with three Ender Pearls, each one resembling the Legendary Three. The legend goes that when darkness fell upon the land, the three warriors worked together and were able to vanquish the darkness to a small island off the coast of the Farlands. The island is only known as The Forbidden Land, a place that was once thriving with wealth and prosperity, now a land laid to waste by the darker forces.
The mysterious man behind the altar instructs you to choose which path you will take to eradicate the darkness from the land forever. You have one of three choices: The Path of Might, The Path of Shadows, and The Path of Mystery. The man behind the altar warns you that once you have chosen your path, the divines will write the path you take for you, and you can not divert from the path you chose.
After choosing your path, the man behind the altar tells you what your task is. This is where the old story of the Legendary Three ends, and yours begins, traveler.

The Three Paths (concepts)
As you read, there is three paths: The Path of Might, The Path of Shadows, and The Path of Mystery, each one with unique abilities and different play styles.
The Path of Might:
A warrior based class with maximum armor that specializes in swords. In essence, it is a tank class. Once in Rage Mode, this class deals powerful blows (same force as TNT without damaging blocks and the player), and regenerates health as if the player has eaten a Golden Apple.
The Path of Shadows:
A thief based class with moderate armor that specializes in bows and swords. Once in Stealth Mode, the player turns invisible for 2 minutes and enemies that are unaware of the player's presence are dealt double damage
The Path of Mystery:
A magic based class with minimal armor that specializes in magical staves and spells. Can throw potions (spells) up to 15 blocks. Once in Mystic Mode, the player has a ring of particles around them and it kills enemies inside the ring.

The Legendary Three:
The Legendary Three were three outcast warriors that were given abilities to fight the darkness. The first was a warrior in the Royal Guard who lost his honor after getting tangled up in a conspiracy to overthrow the king. He was banished from the kingdom as punishment, and his family was forced to stay in the kingdom. He was allowed to take everything on him and his sword, Zephyr. The name of the sword then symbolized dishonor within the kingdom. He sought out to restore his name, and redeem his honor.
The second was a thief raised to steal from birth. After working a job for his guild stealing a priceless jewel, he later received news that it was meant to be sold to feed the family that winter, and that the youngest child died. With an overwhelming sense of guilt, he fled from his guild and went into hiding until the light summoned him.
The third and last was a mage. She was interested in the magical forces of the land. She studied at the School of magic for years until her professor started teaching the class darker arts. She fled when her professor vanished during a ritual. He was directly tied to the revival of the darkness and was punished severely by the divines for tampering with Pandora's Box. The divines contacted her directly and forced her to fight off the darkness or face the same fate as her professor.
All three were cowards and fools. Why the divines chose them is unknown, but many believe it was to show them the error of their ways. If the three succeeded, they would be rewarded with forgiveness.
However that was ages ago. Now it is up to you, traveler. You are the only one worthy of wielding the divine's power.

What I need from the community:
I need a person or a team of people to code the mechanics of the game.
