Frequently Asked

Everything you might want to know before you pledge your allegiance — joining, kingdoms, war, economy, accounts and the community.

Getting Started

What is KingdomTopia?

KingdomTopia is a Minecraft Medieval Towny roleplay server. You join one of eight fantasy kingdoms, build protected towns, trade, forge alliances and wage war — with real political consequences, but without your kingdom ever being permanently wiped off the map.

How do I join the server?

Three steps: (1) create a free account on this website and pick a starting kingdom, (2) launch Minecraft and connect to play.kingdomtopia.com, and (3) join our Discord to receive your kingdom role, a town and your starting rank.

What is the server IP?

The server address is play.kingdomtopia.com. Add it to your Minecraft multiplayer server list.

Which Minecraft version do I need — Java or Bedrock?

KingdomTopia runs on Java Edition using a recent stable version. Bedrock crossplay (via Geyser) is being considered for the future — check the Discord announcements for the current supported version before connecting.

Do I have to register on the website to play?

An account here lets you pre-pick a kingdom and keep your charter, but the real action happens in-game and on Discord. You can always create one later.

Is the server free to play?

Yes, completely free. Any future donations are strictly cosmetic (ranks, particles, kits) and never give a gameplay advantage — no pay-to-win.

Kingdoms & Roleplay

Which kingdoms can I join?

Eight realms: Turukia (Turkic steppe), Mongolud (Mongol), Francia (French forest), Anglia (English-Germanic castles), Nord (Nordic/Viking), Sparta and Athens (Greek city-states) and Sakuraiia (Japanese). See the Kingdoms page for each one's playstyle.

Can I change kingdoms later?

Switching is possible but it is a roleplay and political act, not a casual swap. Defecting may have in-game consequences. Staff can help with legitimate moves; ask in a Discord ticket.

Do I have to roleplay all the time?

No — you can simply build, trade and fight if you prefer. But roleplay gives meaning to wars, treaties and titles, and most of the fun (and prestige) comes from being part of the story.

What's with the words like "haraç" and "töre"?

They are lore flavour. Haraç means tribute (money/resources a defeated kingdom pays a victor) and töre means a kingdom's code or customs. They are always explained in-game so every player understands them.

Can I build my own town?

Yes. Gather resources and found a town within your kingdom's territory. Towns are protected by Towny claims, and you can grow them with walls, farms, shops, outposts and a treasury.

War, Balance & Defeat

When can I start fighting other players?

Not immediately. The first 5 days are a grace period with PvP and war disabled so everyone can settle in. After that, war only happens inside scheduled war windows, not 24/7.

How does a war actually start?

A kingdom must declare war at least 24 hours in advance in Discord, stating the reason, the objective and who is involved. War then plays out during the war window, scored on objectives like capturing a war banner or holding an outpost.

Can my kingdom be wiped out completely?

No. Capitals survive defeat, and total destruction only happens through rare, staff-approved story events. The golden rule is: a kingdom may lose, but it never disappears.

What is a vassal and what is tribute?

A defeated kingdom can become a vassal — it keeps its own leader, capital and culture but must follow a master in war and diplomacy for a limited time. Tribute (haraç) is a capped, temporary payment to the victor. Both have limits, and a vassal can seek a rebellion later.

What stops several kingdoms ganging up on one?

An anti-6v1 rule: in normal war, a maximum of 2 attacking kingdoms may target 1 defender. Bigger conflicts only happen as balanced staff events. Cooldowns, defender protection and new-player protection further stop snowballing.

I lost a war — what happens now?

You get temporary defeat protection to repair and negotiate. You might pay tribute, become a vassal, hand over a border claim or sign a treaty — then rebuild, seek allies and plan your comeback. Losing is the start of a new chapter, not the end.

Economy & Building

How do I earn money?

Through jobs, running shops, trading along caravan and sea routes, and taking part in events. Your kingdom also has a shared treasury used for claims, war and projects.

Will my builds be safe from griefing?

Yes. Towny claims protect your town from random griefing, and CoreProtect lets staff roll back and prove any damage. Destruction only happens through the war system and approved events — never random raids outside war windows.

What are claims, outposts and resource zones?

Claims protect land. A capital can never permanently fall in normal war; town claims protect cities; border claims can be wagered; outposts are exposed military/economic posts; and resource zones are contested areas rich in wood, stone, ore or horses.

Account & Technical

Are my account and password safe?

Website accounts are stored in your own browser, and passwords are hashed (never stored as plain text). Because there is no central server for website accounts, treat this as a convenience login — don't reuse an important password.

I made an account on my phone but it's gone on my PC — why?

Website accounts are saved per-device in that browser, so they don't sync between your phone and PC. Just create one on each device — your real progress lives in-game and on Discord, not on the website.

I forgot my website password — how do I reset it?

Since accounts are stored locally in your browser, there's no email reset. Simply register again, or clear the site data in your browser to start fresh. Your in-game character is unaffected.

The website looks broken or unstyled — how do I fix it?

Do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) to clear the cache. If you're opening the files directly from your computer, use the live site instead — the styling and icons need to be served over http(s), not a local file:// path.

Community & Rules

Where do I find the rules?

On the Rules page and pinned in Discord. The essentials: no random grief, no spawn killing, no combat logging, no exploits, respect roleplay, and always wage war through the proper declaration and war-log.

How do I report a player or get help?

Open a ticket in our Discord (#tickets / #reports) with evidence — screenshots, clips or the war-log. Staff settle disputes using logs and proof.

Is there a Discord?

Yes — Discord is the command center for rules, kingdom roles, war announcements, diplomacy and support. The invite link is on the home page and in the footer.

Can I donate? Is it pay-to-win?

Donations are optional and strictly cosmetic — ranks, particles and kits that don't affect the balance of war or economy. KingdomTopia is never pay-to-win.

Still Have Questions?

Hop into our Discord and ask — the community and staff are happy to help you find your place in the realm.
