We turned Minecraft into a full fledged tactical RPG! Gone are the days of exploring a world in first person, now you must enter new biomes and defeat enemies to gain resources all in a grid turn based RPG experience!!
Craftics turns Minecraft into a tactical RPG. Fight through 18 biomes across the Overworld, Nether, and End in grid-based combat using your actual inventory, weapons, armor, and potions. Every item has a purpose in battle.
THIS PROJECT IS IN BETA AND WILL HAVE BUGS
How It Works
If you set your world type to Craftics, you will spawn in a hub room. Type in /new to create a base, this will teleport you to your new home island where you can survive like normal. It comes with a tree and some farmland to get started. Click the Level Select Block to pick a biome and enter combat. The camera locks to an isometric view, the cursor unlocks, and you control your character on a tile grid. Click to move, click to attack, use items from your hotbar. Defeat all enemies to win, collect loot, and push deeper.
Between fights, you return to your hub room. This is your base of operations. Craft gear at the crafting table, smelt ores in the furnace, brew potions at the brewing stand, enchant weapons at the enchanting table, and cook food in the smoker. Tame animals during combat and they'll live in your hub. Build it up over time with blocks and furniture you earn from victories. Everything you do here prepares you for the next fight.
No new items. No new blocks (except the Level Select). Craftics gives combat meaning to everything already in the game.
