Modded Minecraft Server

Our Minecraft server is in its third edition, called “Modded Minecraft Civilizations”. Factions, lore to dig up, a player economy and a border that grows over time.

Main features

1. A modded, civilization-style server that is casual friendly, so it runs 24/7 (apart from maintenance breaks).

   

2. A rather small border, so players actually meet. Every few days it opens for a few hours, so you can explore and gather resources outside the main zone.

   

3. Lore you discover through clues hidden in certain structures, some of them custom-made.

   

4. An economy based on two things: trading items between players (we have a mod for that), and money from daily quests that you can spend on bigger faction claims.

   

5. A skill progression system.

   

6. A custom plugin for factions, nations and groups, made by our own team.

7. Partial build protection during the hours when few staff members and players are online.

8. No microtransactions. Not one, ever.

Epic Police Chase

Epic Police Chase is the official KHN video game, and it is in development right now. Many of the main features already work. You can see the progress in the video.

Iron Eclipse 1941

A grand strategy board game about the Second World War, for 2 to 5 players.

The main ideas

1. Players take control of five major powers of the Second World War.
   • USA
   • UK
   • USSR
   • German Reich
   • Italy
2. The game supports 2 to 5 players.
3. Genre: grand strategy.
4. An innovative combat system, explained in the DevBlogs.
5. Strong asymmetry between the playable nations.

The game is already playable: I have a working prototype and have even run playtests with my brother.

Community Projects

You might be wondering what Community Projects actually are. They are projects made by people from the KHN community: anything from mods and games to music and art.

Zeppelin Must Have: a Minecraft mod

Hi, my name is Kayla, and I made Zeppelin Must Have, a custom addon for Create. I love building zeppelins, and there were a few things I was missing, so I decided to fix that, and that's how the mod was born. We're planning to add it to the server in the next update, but you can already try it in single player and maybe find bugs or issues that MUST be fixed before the official release.

A few of the features

Native Lever

The Piped Redstone Native Lever mounts straight onto a conduit face, opens the matching port and powers only that conduit line. It even keeps working underwater.

Waterproof Repeater

The Piped Redstone Repeater keeps the analog signal strength and starts a new distance segment. Right-click it for the same four delays as a vanilla repeater.

Download on CurseForge ↗
