Jokercraft
Welcome to my Minecraft Comedy Survival Role Playing Game, finally up after weeks of indecision and hesitation! Unlike the RPGs before it, this one focuses on having a good time through being funny in a setting based of a Minecraft survival game.
First things first, basic knowledge of Minecraft is recommended, but not required. It is possible to participate without the basic knowledge (like what tools are used for what) but you have to be able to learn pretty quickly. It is perfectly okay to act stupid during the let’s play even if you know what you’re supposed to be doing (example: not knowing how to craft a pickaxe)
If you wish to join, then all you have to do is read the rules (and check on them again frequently) and spawn yourself in like I do below or otherwise reasonably introduce yourself into the game. Remember to describe yourself in some manner if you do not wish for your current theme to be used for reference (making and posting a profile is not required).
Deep in a remote winter wonderland of sorts, a young teenage girl with long pink hair suddenly appeared standing a few feet off the ground. For a second, she stood still in shock at having been abruptly teleported to this unfamiliar environment without any warning. Then she realized she was floating in mid-air and flailed her arms in panic before falling on her butt on the snow covered grass with an ungraceful crunch. Grateful for the snow having broken her fall, she looked around and saw a frozen river dividing snow covered plains to her left and a snow covered forest to her right. Looking closer, she saw to her amazement that the land and trees were all squarish. As she absorbed more of her surroundings, she began to worry about how she would survive in this wintery land and started to be consumed by anxiety and fear…

- Rules:
1. Have Fun I made this in attempt to see if we could pull of something like in the good old days. Completing the tasks we come up with is only secondary and the real goal is to be the funniest. If someone later down the road reads the RPG and laughs so hard they can’t stop laughing, we have achieved that goal. You do not have to be formal and use third person in complete sentences as long as your actions can be clearly told apart from you talking. However please avoid short hand and text speak, though lol and brb and similar abbreviations are okay.
2. No outside abilities The only “superpower” you have is the strength of Steve (who is apparently strong enough to move small mountains but yet can’t punch a pig to death in one hit), no exceptions. I naturally have a few policing powers (such as being able to take items without consent and fly or teleport to a location to break up an argument/fight), but will only use them when rules are violated, though flying could come up later as a way to be helpful. However if you feel like you could make something funnier by playing a sad song on the world’s smallest violin or doing a Ba-Dum-Tiss on a set of drums, feel free to pull them out of nowhere for the lols and lovingly toss them away after.
3. Player VS Player IS ALLOWED However you might be thrown out from the group (by everyone, not just me) for being the asshole who goes around killing everyone. This does not always mean you’ve been thrown out of the game, but don’t expect any help, or friendliness for that matter (the group may make your life a nightmare . Note that some areas will be marked as safe zones (such as a community bunkhouse) automatically (see The List of Safe Zones), where attacking with tools is not allowed (however you may still punch each other until someone breaks it up).
4. Keep things reasonable within the mechanics of Minecraft Basically don’t make a diamond hoe and have it break in a heartbeat while farming or find diamond by digging up a block of dirt at the surface. I will advance time every once in a while, so use your better judgment to decide when a tool breaksA diamond hoe should last forever and is a waste of diamonds really considering it offers no advantage but durability…
5. You do not have to stick with any character Exactly what it says on the tin, you may change “skins” and personalities whenever you like.
6. No Stealing or Destroying other’s Items While it counteracts rule #3 somewhat, I doubt anyone would like to see all their diamonds stolen or destroyed, especially if they were killed solely for that purpose. If you destroy someone’s items, just compesiontation will be taken from you without conset. If you need a resource for something, first check for a community chest and if what you need isn’t there, ask around. On the note of community chests, always make it known how much is going into the chest and out of the chest so that I may keep a record of it. I recommend you all keep track of your inventories too, though I will not require frequent posting.
7. Everyone has the same healthwhich is 20 health points. Posting this is only required when you are fighting something. The way to regain health is to eat food, for simplicity the hunger system will not be used (meaning food will heal you immediately, see a table listed in another section for how much is restored) however you can act weak if you haven’t eaten in a while. See next section for damage calculation, any damage dealt to you should be somewhat like what’s listed in the table. Also, DON’T be a dick and eat a few porkchops while fighting to get the upperhand, eat at reasonable moments (like while hanging out in the communal bunkhouse). I reserve the right to reverse the effects of your actions (while not restoring the consumed items) if I feel you are not fighting fair.
8. Herobrine is NOT in the game But he may be added in… I dunno, we’ll see.
9. Enchantments For the sake of simplifying things, I recommend not using the ones that modify how the game works. For example, Fire Aspect is perfectly fine, but if you wish to use Protection then that’s something you have to calculate for everyone every time it comes up.
10. Non-Minecraft items If temporarily having an non-weapon item not found in Minecraft can make something funny, then by all means pull it out of nowhere long enough to get the lols going. Certain communication devices, such as cell phones and radios, may be used though I wouldn’t recommend it, but also won’t prohibit it unless it becomes a problem. Also real life tools and weapons such as battleaxes (an axe with two heads intended for battle only) can be crafted using materials found in Minecraft can be crafted with permission (I require that you get permission so that I can determine stats for it). Non-Standard Items will be added in another section of this post and can be later approved even if initially rejected.
11. Screwing the Rules, With or Without Money Certain rules of Minecraft can be ignored if they are reasonably practical in real life, such as using more than one sword at once. Having any amount of money will not allow you to screw the rules. Rule 10 overrides this rule wherever there may be a conflict.
12. Dying is not only perfectly okay, it’s strongly encouraged if you can make it funny! Rarely a rule you see in an RPG. If you die, you respawn in the last bed you slept in. If your bed has been moved or destroyed since you last slept in it, you will respawn at the initial spawn point for us, which could mean a long walk… Apart from losing your inventory if you can’t get back to it quickly, there is no penalty for dying. If you are the type who doesn’t like changing their theme mid-RPG without explanation, death is a very good way to do it, the explanation being that you have a new form upon respawning.
13. If you found something someone did amusing, funny, hilarious, or otherwise liked it in some manner, Hit the Like Button! I am of the belief that this will encourage being funny and help keep the true spirit of RPGs going.
14. I decide what biomes there are This game is based off a real Minecraft world, the seed for that world is 42. I have two versions of the world saved to my computer, one that’ll be altered each time something happens here (mostly in survival, though creative was used to create my map so I could get a better look around) and the other is for my personal use. Regular screenshots of the map will be posted to help keep things straight and I'll also post coordinates to interesting spots.
15. Further rules may be added at my leisure I can add more rules as time goes on and also amend previous rules. If you feel a rule needs to be added or changed, please bring this up in the Control Room sticky.
- Damage Calculation! And food things:
See this page for armor since it’s too complicated for me to explain.

- My profile for the heck of since I’m going to try a new style of personality for myself:
Name: To be determined
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5.2 ft (158 cm)
Weight: 93 lbs (42 kg)
Trivia/Bio/Whatever you want to call this section: She is remarkably tolerant of the elements for someone in such a revealing outfit, though is unable to stand cold environments when wind is present. While she has very little actual fighting experience, she has studied many different types of weapons and believes she knows how to use them in a manner that will at the very least surprise someone who tries to take advantage of her.Actually taken from myself in real life.

Also the Tower of Pimps wasn't created with the world, I built it to mark the rough location of spawn so I can find it from the air while flying around after exploring the map.

Re: Jokercraft
In the woods surrounded by the frozen wasteland (type thing), a young rogue, clad in green, suddenly appeared in the middle of the air. He stylishly flipped to the ground, and congratulated himself on his work before realizing that he had no idea where he was.
He examined his possessions and found a wooden katana, a carrot, and a ridiculously arcane book that he had no idea how to use and he figured was to be used as fire fuel.
He decided that the first course of action in this strange, squarish land was to build a shelter, so he started chopping down trees with his carrot.
(I have no idea if spawning with items is allowed, but I request that the carrot is kept due to lulz)
(Also, idea for katana: does the same damage as relevant sword, but pierces 1/2 of armor? (Or deals 1 less damage but pierces one armor thing, whatever)

Re: Jokercraft
- This wordy section is my response to Lief and also firmly restates an existing rule:
- I'll allow you guys spawning in with items, heck you can even enter the game as someone already well into their survival story (I'd prefer it if you were nomadic if you choose this route, but I won't fight it). Keeping it reasonable is appreciated.
The "frozen wasteland" is really a Frozen Taiga biome surrounded on all sides (if I remember correctly) by a mixture of Ice Plains and Frozen Extreme Hills, just for the record (don't expect you to know or remember) since I'm already desiccating your post.
Katanas and all other normally proportioned swords function exactly the same as the minecraft sword (and can be crafted in the different tiers of normal sword making material, so please note what it's made out of, which you have done), in other words it doesn't have any effect on Armor besides lowering durability of all pieces by one.
Also a real life note: the katana is built for slicing and is incredibly efficient at slicing through the human body, though it can be used for thrusting (I wouldn't want to try ramming an iron katana or below through diamond armor since the blade is so flexable it might snap in two and I've seen a high speed of a real one bending like crazy when thrusted into armor and it actually ruined the tip of the sword). Also the cutting edge of a real katana is so hard that chipping is a possibility when striking an equally hard surface and most samurai preferred to dodge than block and when they did block with the sword, tried to do so with anything but the blade.
From my observations from playing the game, the strength of armor never goes down (though I could easily be wrong despite how I've been wearing my current set of iron armor for a while now and it's been hit by a point-blank creeper blast or two, beat up by an Enderman, a few dozen spiders, a few more dozen zombies, and hit with a couple of arrows; as of right now most of it is at half durability), but how much longer the armor will last does.
For reference, a full set of iron armor will reduce damage by 60%, Diamond by 80%, Leather by 28%. Each defense point increases resistance by 4%.
One last thing, that book, it's not a book that allows the wielder to use magic (other than enchanting items, which is allowed, though I think enchanted books are one use only in game and you need an avil) is it?
An icy gust of wind made the girl shiver, persuading her had to do something. Taking another look around, something that didn't quite seem to fit in with the forest caught her eye. Moving cautiously closer, she discovered it was a chest surrounded by four torches.
Suspicious of the chest, she took another look around and then opened the chest while listening intently for any unnatural sound.
Hearing none, she peaked into the chest and discovered around a dozen pieces of spruce wood and a wooden axe.
After taking yet another look around, she reached in and pulled out the axe, unconvienced that it could cut down a tree. So she decided to try a few test swings on the tree closest to the chest.
To her surprise, only a small piece of the tree fell to the ground, looking the same as the ones in the chest.
Acting on a sudden impulse, she quickly cut the rest of the tree's truck down and gathered up the wood, the chest, and the torches. Taking another look around, she selected a nearby spot across a frozen river and hurried over there, noting the position of the sun as directly above her. Only she slipped on her second step on the ice, landing on her face and sliding over to the other bank.

Re: Jokercraft
The white fields of snow and ice sighed another breath of wind as another disturbance broke the landscape. Within the woods that stood near the middle of the snowy land, a young teenage girl in a bluish dress appeared in the air. She shrieked a high pitched squeal as she roughly fell on her knees, the cold from the snow penetrating her skin.
She lowered her head and gazed at the white powder around her legs, wondrous awe painted on her face. Curious, she poked the snow. The wetness of the fluffy looking stuff surprised her. She broke into a toothy grin and whipped her head up to observe the rest of this new world.
Everything was made of blocks. The hills in the distance, the trees and leaves- everything was detailed in pixels, even the sun in the sky.
The girl stood up and pushed back her white hair, just to have it fall in her face again. She pulled in a deep breath and shouted on top of her lungs, "THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!"

Re: Jokercraft
(My lack of good role plays may mean I'll suck at this, SO BARE WITH ME PLEASE)
When the first thing someone feels is cold wind they know they're in for a bad day. The wind was blowing and everything was dark. Why was everything dark? The girl wasn't really sure, but she wished she could find out how to make things a little brighter. Oh wait, her eyes were closed, maybe she should try opening them.
After opening her eyes, she recognized there was snow, everywhere. Laying face first in the freezing cold snow was not comfortable, but the girl wondered if it would be a bad thing to just lay here. If this was a warm sunny field she probable could have convinced her self that, but it was not. It was cold, and a way to get warm is to move. So the girl jumped up, and was instantly hit my another cold blast of wind. Maybe dressing in pants, and maybe having a shirt where the sleeves weren't detached would help.
The girl deiced to keep moving, there were a few trees across the icy river, her instincts scream MUST CUT DOWN TREES. As unhealthy for the environment would be, it seemed like the best idea. The girl started towards the tree, until she hit the icy river. Then she spilled and smashed face fist into the ice. Least to say the pain made her reconsidered her plan, she sat back up and started thinking of a better plan.
(Did we all spawn in the same area and no one has encountered each other? Or are we all in different parts of this snowy area?)

Re: Jokercraft
(That is up to you to decide, I personally spawned at the spawn point. Though you two seem to be just a dozen or so blocks from me)
Having destroyed two trees, the girl noticed the sun much lower in the sky and immediately decided to build a shelter. She selected a spot on a little hill on the other side of the frozen river and hurried over. However she underestimated just how slick the ice was and fell down on her face, splintering the ice.

Re: Jokercraft
(think we're on the same river, if you're on the river that's on the map...)
Failing to come up with a better plan, the girl awkwardly stood up and tried to shimmy here way across the river. This attempt still ended in a fail, but she didn't smash her face into the ice, she just fell backwards. This lead to the idea of just slowly scooting across the river, now she would fall! But it was really slow so it wasn't as effective as she would have liked it to be. This would take a while so she deiced to scoot faster, right now she was glad no one was around, this must look extremely strange.

Re: Jokercraft
Now scared, the girl could feel the cold water starting to lick her exposed flesh. Acting on reflex, she try to rush forward by any means necessary. With a loud crack and a scream, she fell through into the cold water.

Re: Jokercraft
After hearing a scream, the girl stopped scooting across the river and looked around. As if she wasn't concerned enough with being alone in a snowy wasteland, now there was someone screaming. As she turned her gaze to the left she saw a crack in the ice and some splashed water. Her first thoughts were relatively frustrated was she tried to make her way to the crack, that water was going to be cold and if the victim couldn't swim then she would have to jump in.
