Rent a shop in the central market and sell your goods to the entire server. A permanent place to run your business.

Higher-tier ores and tools aren't available from day one. Level up to unlock mining, crafting, and using each tier, from copper all the way to netherite.

RuneScape-Style Mining

Surface-level ore rocks scattered across the world, styled after RuneScape's mining spots. No need to cave dive for every ore.

Play on any platform. Java and Bedrock players share the same world.

Custom Plugins

Built from the ground up with custom plugins tailored to the Grand Civitas experience.

Building Contest: House an NPC
