Classes

Classes can grant you unique roles on the server. Each class is tied to a specific armor set. Wearing that set activates that class, granting you new abilities you can only use while in that class.

Run /class or /pvpclass to see your current class status and list all available classes with their armor requirements.

See factions for team rules that interact with class limits. Class stats also show on the events page during KOTH runs.

Quick start

1. Get the armor set for the class you want.
2. Wear the full set with no extra armor in the other slots.
3. Wait through the class warmup.
4. Use class abilities once the class is active.
5. Check your status anytime with /class.

How classes work

There is no class picker menu. You choose a class by what you wear.

• Each class needs a specific helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.
• Any armor slot not used by the class must stay empty.
• After you put the set on, the class warms up before it activates.
• Remove or swap armor and the class deactivates.

Your class state carries over if you move between servers while still wearing the same armor.

Faction class limits

In a faction, only so many online players can use the same class at once. This includes teammates who are still warming up.

If your faction is at the limit for a class, you must wait until a teammate switches class or logs off before you can activate it.

Archer

Archer is a ranged damage class. Wear a full leather set.

Passives

Speed and Resistance while the class is active.

Combat abilities

Ranged Damage with a Consecutive Multiplier: Bow shots with regular arrows deal bonus damage to enemies. Longer shots and consecutive hits on the same target hit harder.

Archer Mark: Spectral Arrows mark enemies. Marked enemies take extra damage from all sources, glow, and see a warning.

Consumables

Right-click these items for a timed self-buff. Each item has its own cooldown.

Bard

Bard is a support class. Wear a full golden set.

Passives

Speed, Resistance, and Fire Resistance while the class is active.

Holdables

Hold these items in your main hand to keep applying effects to nearby faction allies while you hold them.

Consumables

Right-click these items to apply timed effects in an area. Each item has its own cooldown.

Diver

Diver is the only class that can use the Trident. Wear a full diamond set with a Turtle Shell Helmet.

Passives

Water Breathing while the class is active.

Combat abilities

Trident pierce: Thrown tridents deal bonus damage to enemies based on throw distance.

Riptide: Divers can use Riptide for burst movement. Landing a trident hit on a player refreshes Riptide.

Call of the Sea: Divers have an ocean mobility ability for longer water fights and rotations.

Consumables

Right-click a Prismarine Shard for Dolphin's Grace. This only affects you and has a cooldown.

Rogue

Rogue is an assassin class. Wear a full chainmail set.

Passives

Speed, Resistance, and Jump Boost while the class is active.

Combat abilities

Backstab: Hit an enemy from behind with a golden sword to deal true damage that bypasses armor.

Grapple: Rogues can grapple for quick engages, escapes, and repositioning.

Cloak: Right-click an Ender Eye to become invisible and hidden from enemy players. The item is consumed and cloak has a long cooldown. Cloak only works when no enemies are nearby.

Your action bar shows your cloak state:

Cloak is strongest when enemies are far away and weakens when they get close. It ends if you take or deal damage, break or place blocks, interact with blocks, fire projectiles, change worlds, die, or get hit by a potion cloud. While cloaked, mobs will not target you.

Consumables

Right-click these items for a timed self-buff. Each item has its own cooldown.

Miner

Miner is a resource gathering class. Wear a full copper set.

Passives

Speed, Night Vision, Haste, and Invisibility while the class is active.

Miner has no combat abilities or consumables. It is built for mining, not fighting.

Guardian

Guardian is a tank class. Wear iron chestplate, leggings, and boots with a shield in the off-hand. The helmet slot stays empty; a stamina banner is applied while the class is active.

Passives

Resistance, Health Boost, and Slowness while the class is active.

Combat abilities

Guard circle: Raise the shield to create a protective circle around you. Faction members inside it receive Regeneration and Absorption.

Stamina: Blocking damage drains stamina. When stamina empties, the shield is forced down briefly before it can be used again.

Guardian appears larger while the class is active, making it easier to identify in a fight.

Guardian has no consumables.

Consumables and targeting

Most classes can right-click specific items for timed potion-style effects. Each item has its own cooldown.

Class effects do not hit faction allies on offensive abilities. Creative mode players and vanished staff do not receive class effects.

Events

During events, class actions show on live scoreboards and post-event stats.
