CloudUltraAnarchy (1.16.5+) — A Full Breakthrough in Anarchy Server Builds!
Welcome to our new, remarkable article!
For a long time our most advanced product was the "CloudMegaAnarchy" build. Now, after several months of work, we are ready to raise the bar for quality and uniqueness even higher and present a server build that no ready-made build from any other studio comes close to!
We pushed our capabilities almost to the limit and present "CloudUltraAnarchy".
The build earned the "Ultra" title if only because we wrote more than 10 custom plugins and many unique events for it, and the whole system runs without a single bug or performance drop. If you don't want to read the whole article, here is a short (incomplete) list of the unique features in the build:
A consistent build theme — medieval
A system of proxy, 5 game servers, captcha, account linking through social networks
A system of to monitor the work of moderators (StaffWork) + preconfigured ranks and moderator permissions
A system of battle pass, plus quests for it
A system of unique crafts with the ability to create your own
A system of item skins (tools, weapons, totems, apples — you can apply a skin to anything through a GUI menu)
A system of challenges and duels almost like on FunTime!
A system of titles, prefixes, personalization, interface settings
A system of player bounties, with the option to start your own hunt
A system of passive skills like on FunTime
Unique enchantments like on FunTime + custom ones

A well-developed /rtp system with teleports to a player, to a claim, and over long distances
Custom world generation with unique biomes and dungeons
A custom spawn, built by our builders
A high-quality, tuned anticheat, anti X-Ray and anti-cheststealer
and that's only the most important and essential part!
Let's go through everything in order. The build already includes a proxy server and lobby system. Before joining the main game server, players pick 1 of 5 servers in the lobby (servers can be started and stopped as needed). This helps when the online count is high and has to be spread across servers, and we expect that is exactly what will happen with this build :)
The hand-drawn GUI of the main menu holds all the core game features, so players don't have to run around spawn looking for the right NPC. The menu also has unique buttons that can't be used anywhere else — friends, clan, events, server help, free donations, appearance:
Speaking of spawn — we decided not to follow the trend of our previous builds and designed a spawn specifically for this build. It has all the key places that help a player get started on the server:
A key feature of this build is custom generation of biomes and dungeons that differs from what you get in the base Minecraft world:
As for ranks, they are designed so that donations don't play the main role and every player has basic abilities, while ranks give players extra commands and improved capabilities. You can see this for yourself. Every donor rank, from the first to the last, comes with a gear set. For the mid-tier donor ranks we also made separate kits for rank groups:
Speaking of permissions, in this build we paid special attention to the moderation system and to the owner's ability to control it, so we added the StaffWork plugin.
The plugin offers the basics: it logs the actions of a moderator or a group of moderators over any period of time, which helps prevent abuse of power among staff.
We also added several kinds of RTP to the build, so players on an anarchy server have more incentive to buy more expensive ranks:
The store and the donation store are another source of pride in this build: both are priced reasonably and can be configured. Since we put extra work into the donation store, let's look at it in more detail:
- unique custom TNT (details — CLICK):
This is one of the most developed custom plugins in the build — it adds a completely new TNT upgrade system! Regular TNT is used for upgrades, and our plugin lets you improve:
— Explosion power (increases damage in the radius and the durability of blocks it can destroy) (at level 10 it can break obsidian) (10 levels)
— Explosion radius (increases the area the TNT affects) (10 levels)
— Explosion effects (every target in the radius gets poison, slowness, or blindness) (no more than 1 effect)
— Special upgrades (a special category that gives TNT unique properties) (donor category). There are 6 special upgrades in total:
— hell crater — the explosion leaves lava and fire in the radius, very useful in massive PvP fights
— trap — when activated, it spawns a peaceful mob that looks like any ordinary one, but killing it sets off the TNT with all its upgrades (effects, radius, power). Very useful for building traps
— homing — when the TNT is activated, an invulnerable creeper appears and chases every nearby player. When it detonates, all the TNT's upgrades go off. Very useful for griefing bases
— depth charge — destroys water blocks and damages all structures whether or not there is water around them. Very useful for griefing protected bases
— ice bomb — the explosion creates a hollow ice sphere that can destroy any block weaker than obsidian. Versatile: it can slow enemies down or destroy any blocks, even through obsidian, by turning them into easily breakable ice
— antimatter charge — nothing drops from the explosion, but the blast can destroy absolutely any block (including end portal frames, bedrock, and more)
- special donor items:
To avoid confusion between regular items and enchantment books, we split the items in this category into 2 groups:
1) unique enchantments like on FunTime + custom ones:
2) single-use donor items:
- unique donor gear:
- unique orbs and talismans:
This section is quite large, so that players can find their way around the donation store as comfortably and easily as possible, we split the items in this category into 3 groups:
1) Passive orbs (give an effect by default while held in the left hand):
2) Unique talismans (similar to orbs but with different effects, and they work as a totem):
3) Active orbs (activated with right click):
- spawners and mob spawn eggs:
A special direction in donation services is our highly developed player character customization system. With it, a player can change their appearance, weapon skin, nickname gradient, and game interface however they like!
The main customization section, which we are especially proud of, is the gear skin system. These skins can be used depending on the rank level, and can also be earned in unique events (for example, in boss fights):
The plugin supports multiple skin pages, so if you want, you can keep adding to the skin list indefinitely!
Another unique feature of the build is full customization of the player character. With a dedicated GUI menu and a huge number of 3D models, the character's appearance can be changed however the player wants! For server owners it also pays off, because customization can earn money just like other donation services!
The build is styled in the trendy "Small Caps" look, which makes it appealing both visually and in gameplay. In the customization section a player can customize themselves even further by applying a gradient to their nickname. We also made flexible interface settings that let your players turn off the boss bar, the scoreboard, or teleport requests to themselves:
The build also has a unique crafting system with new special items for it. We went all out and built a crafting system with a custom GUI menu — for the players' convenience, hovering shows the name of the item they are crafting:
Another custom innovation in this build is the ender chest upgrade system (details — CLICK). Our plugin lets you expand an ender chest indefinitely and level it up with regular and donation currency. It also has a unique hand-drawn GUI menu and icons for locked slots:
And that's far from everything you can upgrade in this build. We also added a custom ProtectionStones add-on for upgrading land claims (details — CLICK). And, as usual, even this menu got custom styling:
To diversify gameplay, the build includes skills and the ability to upgrade them, as well as an overall upgrade statistics summary and, as usual, custom GUI menus:
And that's still not all, because for the most desperate and brave players we prepared a challenge system like on HolyWorld, and as the owner you can set the rules yourself — whether players lose their items when they lose or not!
You challenge someone to a duel with a simple command: /duel *player nickname*.
Players also get a nice bonus: rewards for reaching a certain online count. They encourage players to invite friends — and win more and more valuable prizes!
The rewards, the required online count, and the chat message are set and configured through the BMP-GA plugin configuration or through the command above.
To make players want to stay on the server as long as possible, this build has a sophisticated 3-stage /free system with a unique GUI menu that describes and shows the requirements and the rewards themselves.
1) After 2 hours on the server, a player gets a coin crate key — from 10,000 to 50,000 units of regular currency
2) After 4 hours on the server and 100,000 in their balance, a player gets an iron armor and tool set and another coin crate key
3) After 8 hours on the server and 250,000 in their balance, a player gets a full netherite set with elytra and totems, plus the unique "Bulldozer Pickaxe", which digs a 3×3×3 cube at once.
Now we move on to the part of this build that we truly consider our pride — special events, which are the main source of excitement and player retention on the server!
You can freely customize the descriptions, as well as the events themselves, in the plugin configuration!
All events:
Event — "Interdimensional Cargo"
A classic take on the air drop, but instead of appearing only in the Overworld, interdimensional cargo can also appear in the Nether and the End! One important note: the harder a world is to reach, the more valuable the reward!
Event — "Da Vinci Chest"
Our custom take on the air drop. The chest appears in the world locked and can't be broken. To open it, a player has to stay near the chest: while within a certain radius and clicking it regularly (once every 1–3 seconds), a percentage hacking bar fills up. Since several players may be nearby, the one who filled the bar the most gets to open the chest!
Event — "Command Block" (details — CLICK)
The most unpredictable, dangerous, anarchic, and valuable event in this build! An entity with a command block appears at random coordinates, and every 30 seconds anything can happen within a 25-block radius: every player gets a random effect, someone is teleported 200 blocks into the air, someone simply dies instantly, someone becomes a juggernaut with all the positive effects, someone fights a skeleton that spawned riding a wither, someone gets a donor item and has to run as far away as possible — the list goes on, because the number of events is not limited and you can create your own through the configuration! The event and all its effects work only within a certain radius, which is marked with particles and set in the config. As a bonus, each time a command fires, players hear a certain sound and see an actionbar message with the type of the event!
Event — "Dark Lord's Chest"
Somewhere in the world there is a structure hiding a gathering of dark forces. Once in a while, a chest with extremely valuable items appears in this structure. Players have to find the structure and clear out all the enemies inside to get the Dark Lord's treasure — lots of donor items, cosmetic gear, weapons, and enchantments!
Event — "Wandering Trader"
Once a week, a unique trader appears at certain coordinates, ready to sell players donor gear for regular currency! But you have to hurry: the trader only stays for a short time, and there are plenty of people who want to grab a freebie…
*the items for sale and their prices are set in the configuration.
Event — Boss "Hell Marauder"
A powerful boss that appears on its own PvP arena (/boss) once every 5 hours. A fairly simple boss, suited to players with a medium to high level of progression, but still a serious challenge that takes coordination and tactical thinking from a group of players. The fight takes place on a large arena where the boss can move around quickly, landing fast sweeping blows on its way to the target. The Marauder's melee attacks are not very strong but fast and hard to dodge, which lets it deal damage constantly.
The fight is of medium difficulty, so the rewards for players match — donation currency, silver, and plenty of other valuable resources!
Event — Boss "Hanashiguro"
A very fast and dangerous boss that appears on its own PvP arena (/boss) once every 5 hours. Fighting it takes teamwork and a high level of progression from everyone who wants to join the battle. The boss can create its own clones, teleport instantly to any point on the arena, and has an extremely wide range of mass and ranged attacks!
Hanashiguro is extremely hard to beat even for a large group of players, so the rewards for it are just as big — donor gear and donation currency!
Event — Boss "Phoenix"
A powerful boss that appears on its own PvP arena (/boss) once every 5 hours. Fighting it takes a combined, unique approach, incredible aim, and high progression, because this enemy can be both on the ground and in the air. Unlike the previous boss, it has no separate phases, but that doesn't mean it will let itself be killed easily! It has attacks for players that each cover almost the entire arena and deal devastating damage to anyone unlucky enough to be caught in them! It tries to stay in the air, but if it dives to the ground, there is a high chance it will grab one of the players, lift them to a great height, and drop them into the abyss, leaving no chance of survival.
For defeating the Phoenix, players get unique donor items, donation currency, and plenty of unique enchantments!
To sum up briefly: this build packs a huge number of unique mechanics, events, items, and everything else that can keep players interested for dozens or even hundreds of hours. Any element can be easily replaced, removed, or added, which means you can change any aspect of this build to your liking without much trouble!
From a value standpoint, the build contains about 10 custom plugins: half of them you can buy separately from our catalog, and the other half were developed specially for this build. It's easy to estimate that the custom plugins alone cost around 5000 individually, and we offer the whole build, and for one ruble less at that!
Put together, all of this gives you a server build that can easily attract and hook new players, stand out in the server market, and earn very good income thanks to a well-developed, multi-channel monetization system!
