The AfterHours SMP

PICK A SIDE. CLAIM A MAP. FIGHT A WAR THAT NEVER ENDS.
After Hours is a crossplay, cracked-friendly, semi-anarchy SMP where the entire world is carved between three warring nations — and the moment you log in, you're drafted. There are no land claims to hide behind and no staff to roll back your griefed base. Fight for absolute power each season before the map resets and the war starts all over again. Ten thousand blocks of contested earth, a single rule — play fair — and absolutely everything else is wide open. ⚔️🔥🛡️

⚔ THE THREE NATIONS — CHOOSE YOUR ALLEGIANCE
- 🔴 THE CRIMSON ORDER — "Strength through discipline." The damage faction. +1 damage on every fully-charged swing, +2 the moment you drop below half health, and at a quarter health +3 damage, Speed I and a 2-heart shield. Bleeding out alone? Your raw mob drops auto-cook to keep you fed. Trigger /npower at home for +2 damage over 30 seconds.

- 🔵 THE AZURE PACT — "Unity is our fortress." The defense faction, permanently immune to fire and lava — the Nether is your backyard. Stand near allies and you gain Resistance I; four or more within twenty blocks upgrades it to Resistance II. Fall below a quarter health and you keep that Resistance plus a 4-heart shield. /npower at home = Resistance I for 30 seconds.

- 🟢 THE VERDANT SWARM — "From many, one unstoppable force." The mobility faction. You take no fall damage and no elytra-crash damage — dive from any height, no sweat. Near allies you gain Speed I; four or more pushes it to Speed II. Desperate? Speed II and a 2-heart shield to chase a fleeing enemy or vanish from a lost fight. /npower at home = Speed I for 30 seconds.

- 🚶 THE NOMAD — walk alone. No nation, no perks, no cooldowns, no protection. Pure freedom, and pure risk. The Wilderness is yours if you want it.

 -  
-  
- Stand anywhere inside your home territory and the land itself fights for you — passive Regeneration I, no command required. You get a two-hour free trial when you pledge (leave anytime, zero penalty), one free nation switch, and a balance lock that slams a faction's recruitment shut the instant it pulls too far ahead of the smallest. The war stays winnable for everyone.

🗺 A WORLD DIVIDED BY WAR

 -  
-  
- FOUR ZONES, ONE BATTLEFIELD: Crimson holds the northwest, Azure the northeast, Verdant the south, and the Contested Zone burns at the dead center — no territory buffs, no /npower, just raw skill and the supply drops. Beyond it all stretches the Wilderness, claimed by no faction, where secret bases live and die in total silence.

- MOVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT: /nrtp warps you straight home (10-minute cooldown, 5-second stand-still warmup). /tmap opens a full visual map with a glowing "you are here" marker and live war status. /npower fires your 30-second home combat boost the instant a fight breaks out.

💥 WARFARE, EVENTS & THE WEEKLY RACE

 -  
-  
- ⚔ DECLARE WAR: /nation declare opens a 24-hour war on a rival faction — every kill between the two nations counts double on the scoreboard.

- 🏆 THE WEEKLY RESET: every Sunday the conflict tallies and resets. The top-kill nation earns Regeneration II across its home territory for the entire week; the weakest nation is cursed with Mining Fatigue at home. Sitting out a week is not an option.

- 🩸 KILLBOARD TITLES: the three deadliest players of the week wear a title above their name, plus real buffs and a particle trail — ⚔ WARLORD (Strength + Glowing), 🗡 CHAMPION (Resistance + Speed), 🩸 SLAYER (Speed).

- ⚡ SUPPLY DROPS: every four hours a chest of top-tier loot — netherite ingots, totems of undying, enchanted golden apples, diamonds, TNT — slams into the Contested Zone. The catch: the instant someone cracks it open, the entire server is told exactly who is looting. Bring your nation to guard you, or run like your life depends on it.

- ✦ WAR BANNERS: plant your nation's relic for a 50-block utility aura — Crimson grants Night Vision + Haste II, Azure grants Speed I, Verdant grants Jump Boost II + Haste II. Enemies can break it or TNT it to steal it, and pistons are jammed within 13 blocks so there are no cheap tricks. Guard yours. Raid theirs.

- 💰 BOUNTIES, TAUNTS & SECRETS: put a price on an enemy's head and your nation collects it the moment they die. Trash-talk a rival faction's whole online roster with a single command. Plot all of it in /nc, your private nation-only chat that enemies can never read.

🌐 CROSSPLAY, FAIR PLAY & QUALITY OF LIFE

 -  
-  
- ONE WORLD, EVERY PLAYER: Java, Bedrock and cracked clients all share the same map through Geyser. Playing on both devices? /linkaccount binds your Bedrock account to your Java account so your inventory follows you across platforms.

- TALK WHERE YOU STAND: proximity voice chat lets you hear the players physically near you — voices fading with distance, perfect for ambushes and base raids. (Java in-game; Bedrock crew, the Discord voice channels are yours.)

- FAIR FIGHTS, ENFORCED: GrimAC on Java and Themis on Bedrock keep the war honest — hacked clients, X-ray, killauras and botting earn a permanent ban, no warnings. Backend anti-seed-cracking shields your coordinates, and item merging keeps the battlefields clean and the server fast.

- BUILT TO BE LEARNED: a full player hub (/hub) with your live profile, your settings and a five-page illustrated in-game guide, plus smart tips that teach you the entire system as you play and quietly fade once you've learned it. Particle overload? /perkfx mute hides your effects — the buffs keep working, just without the sparkle.
