Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing good. I’ve been extremely busy with updates & additions for most of our games behind the scenes, including Kingdoms!
It is now time to reveal some of the changes that we’ve cooked for Kingdoms and share with you the exact time & date that Kingdoms will reset. Special thanks to the community for providing feedback about previous/past kingdoms, and thanks for expressing what YOU want or would like to see in future kingdom releases. Now let’s get to it.
This release of Kingdoms will be more centered around pvp, invading, looting and expanding your kingdom. The elysium world has been removed, which means there is no longer a safe place where your kingdom cannot get invaded.
Kingdom Nexus & Shields
Introducing the Kingdom Nexus, a special block that can be placed in a king/queen claim to mark the center point of your kingdom. The nexus acts as a shortcut to /k menu. Another new feature was added that gives kingdoms the ability to enable a shield in the kingdom. Shields are active in claims around your nexus claim and will prevent/protect against all invasions in these shielded claims for the duration of the shield.
Battering Rams
Kingdom shields can be countered with Battering Rams, a special item that can be activated in a shielded enemy claim. The battering ram takes time out of the shield, and if no shield time is left will render the enemy claim invade-able again. I advise defending & attacking kingdoms to use shields and battering rams accordingly as they will cost a lot of resources (mana)
Kingdoms will now lose a small % of their kingdom bank & kingdom mana balance when their nexus claim is successfully invaded. These are credited to the invading kingdom.
Other notable changes:
Top kingdoms from last season
The following kingdoms are eligible to claim a 10 EUR store gift card, usable on https://store.foxcraft.net/
They can receive the gift card by sending me a private message on the forums. Make sure to mention which kingdom you are general/king/queen of. This list is based on most claims & most members. (Dm me here: https://www.mcfoxcraft.com/direct-messages/add?to=cloakfox)
What about the crate keys or minions I just purchased!?
All purchases made from 01-04-2025 till 03-07-2025 are eligible to get resend in-game (such as crate keys, minions, etc)
Please create a ticket after server release here: https://www.mcfoxcraft.com/support/customer-support.3/select to get your premium items back.
Everything else, except for your rank is reset.
Kingdoms is resetting on Friday 04-07-2025 at 4PM CEST
Here are a few screenshots of the pvp arena, it may look familiar
Thanks for reading this announcement, I hope you have become excited to join a new adventure on Kingdoms next week!
Special thanks to @fweef for development on Kingdoms.
Other random news & thoughts
Microsoft/Mojang has been giving us server/game creators slowly more tools to properly create new features or improve upon existing systems. We are keen to update to the latest versions (1.21.6 & higher) as soon as possible. So we that we can make full use of the latest and greatest. This also means that Foxcraft might end up utilizing more resource packs in the future. My vision has always been to create good gameplay first & then worry about aesthetics later (e.g resource pack stuff). But as time goes on, it might be time for us to slowly integrate a resource pack on our server to offer the next level of polish in our games.
The stats & leaderboards web pages will also make a return soon (this summer), here is a sneak peek of what they will look like:

(thanks @fweef)
