Flight Mode

You can enter flight mode by double-jumping just like in Creative Mode. You can then fly omnidirectionally as long as you have energy, which is indicated by a progress bar at the top of the screen. Your energy depletes depending on how much you're moving, so hovering still or moving down doesn't deplete it!

You can switch to Glide Mode by double-jumping again, which will put you in standard elytra gliding even if you're not wearing elytra.

If you run out of energy, you'll be switched into Glide Mode and you must wait for it to recharge to half full. Energy recharges whenever you're not in Flight Mode, including when you are falling or in Glide Mode.

As long as your energy meter is green, you will not take fall damage.

Resource Pack

This article will is intended to help you enable the server resource pack. This article has an accompanying video tutorial.

Check what is working

  1. Join the server and go to the hub with the /hub command.
  2. Drop down to the lower level and follow the orange path to the Wing Selection. Click the button of any tribe.
  3. The wings on display should look like dragon wings, with each being a different color.

Enabling the Server Resource Packs

  1. Disconnect from the server and open the multiplayer menu.
  2. If the server is not in your server list, add it now.
  3. Select the server in the list and click the Edit button.
  4. Click the Server Resource Packs button until it says Enabled.
  5. Click Done.

The server resource pack will automatically be applied when you connect and removed when you disconnect. It will always remain at the top of the resource pack stack. If either of these is not favorable, you can always download the latest version of the resource pack from GitHub.

Claims

Wings of Fire: The New World uses a claiming system so that you can protect your property. Others will not be able to modify blocks or open containers unless you give them permission to. This article will is intended to help you create and manage a claim.

Creating a claim

To create a claim, start by identifying the area you want to claim. You are given a limited number of claim blocks, and the number of which you possess can be checked with /gd player info and hovering over the book in the GUI. The Remaining Blocks is the number of remaining claim blocks available to you. A claim's size in claim blocks is its area, X dimension times Z dimension. The Y dimension, up and down, is not accounted in the number of claim blocks a claim uses.

/gd player info

image.png

Choose one corner on the ground, and choose an opposite corner that is in the air. Use the /claim command to enter claim mode.

/claim

image.png

Right-click the block at the first corner. You will be told that one corner has been set.

image.png

Right click the block at the opposite corner. You will be told that your claim has been created.

image.png

Because claims are three-dimensional, you may need to expand the top and bottom of your claim. This up-and-down variation does not affect the number of claim blocks the claim uses. You can use /expandclaim <amount> <direction> to move a side of your claim outwards. Similarly, you can use /contractclaim <amount> <direction> to move a side of your claim inwards.

Managing a claim

You can give other players varying levels of trust by standing inside your claim and executing /gd trust player <player> <type>. Listed below are the levels you can grant; note that each level also includes those above it as well:

You can see a list of all players you have trusted with /trustlist. You can also use /gd trust player all <type> to apply the permission to all players.

Role-play System

Wings of Fire: The New World has an in-game role-play system that uses OpenRP.

Characters

Editing your character

You can edit your active character with the /character command. You'll see something like this:

[name]
[Click to edit]

// HiveWing // IceWing // LeafWing // MudWing // NightWing //
 RainWing // SandWing // SeaWing // SkyWing
MudWing

[description]
[Click to edit]
Bog is orange with distinctive bright blue eyes.

You can click on the interactive components to edit your active character.

Viewing other players' characters

You can quickly view someone's character entry by holding Sneak and pressing Use.

 

You can also use the command /character check <player>.

Using multiple characters

You can save your character using the command /character profile save <name>. The name can be whatever you want. It doesn't have to be the name of the character. You can then edit the active character as detailed above and save it with another name.

You can load a saved character with the command /character profile use <name>. This will override the active character, so make sure you have any modifications saved.

Channels

There are three role-play channels: Moon, Winter, and Qibli. By default, all channels are visible to you and the default channel is Moon. You can use the command /rp to send a role-play message to the default channel. You can also use /rpm to send to the Moon channel, /rpw to send to the Winter channel, and /rpq to send to the Qibli channel.

You can switch channels with the command /channelswitch <channel>. For example, you can switch to the Winter channel with the command /channelswitch Winter. By default, all channels are visible. You can toggle the visibility of a channel with the command /channeltoggle <channel>. For example, you can toggle the visibility of the Qibli channel with the command /channeltoggle Qibli.

The Block Pit

Instead of gathering resources from Pyrrhia or Pantala, you can easily gather materials at the Block Pit.

The interior of the Block Pit.

Locating the Block Pit

You can find the Block Pit at the Hub.

  1. Use the command /hub to go to the Hub.
  2. Go into the blue building labeled Server Events and Minigames.
  3. Continue walking down the path until you pass under a bridge.
  4. The entrance to the Block Pit is on the left, directly across from the statue of the one and only fred.

The entrance to the Block Pit.

Using the Block Pit

When you enter the Block Pit, you'll first enter a viewing platform with a section of the floor made of cyan terracotta. You can place shulker boxes on the terracotta floor.

Inside the Block Pit, you can break blocks in all of the ten block zones. You cannot place blocks in the block zones.  Each zone has a large rotating block display display called the Current Block that shows which block that zone is set to. All zones will periodically refill if no player is located inside them. You can trigger a refill manually by right-clicking the Current Block if no player is inside.

Each zone has multiple blocks which can be set to fill. You can left-click the Current Block to advance through a zone's cycle. This will also change all blocks inside the zone and refill if no player is inside. The next block in the cycle is shown as a small rotating block below the Current Block.

Creating a Town

We allow player-created towns to be added to the Hub. Anyone can create a town, but it must meet some requirements before it can be added to the hub. A town must:

If it meets all these requirements, multiple staff members will visit your town and judge it based on the quality and effort. Higher-quality, more complete towns are more likely to be accepted. If it is accepted, the TP point and mail center will be activated and your town will be added to the Hub! If not accepted, don't worry — we'll give you some feedback, and you can apply the necessary changes and try again.
