Eight Districts is a survival SMP on Paper 26.2 with an economy built from the ground up. Everyone starts with $0: you earn money by mining and gathering in the Frontier and selling what you find, and you spend it on land.

THE MAP. Spawn sits in the Capitol. Around it run four rings (Downtown, Inner Ring, Outer Ring, Homesteads), cut into eight district wedges: Luxury & Alchemy, Oceans & Rivers, Industry, Masonry & Arms, Forestry, Grain, Livestock & Textiles and Transport. Beyond 16,000 blocks lies the Frontier.

INSIDE THE BORDER everything is Treasury land until you buy it. Nothing can be griefed, PvP is off (except on the Colosseum floor) and your sidebar shows what the ground under your feet costs. Stand on a chunk and /claim it. Invite friends to your land, pay a small daily upkeep, and it is yours.

THE FRONTIER is where everyone begins. All mining happens out there, PvP is on and nothing is protected. Eight outposts stand on the border and eight depots pay +50% for goods carried in on foot. The Nether and the End play by Frontier rules.

THE ECONOMY. The Mint buys about 240 kinds of blocks at /sell. The more the whole server sells of something in a day, the less the next one pays, so no single farm takes over. Land is priced off what players actually earn, so it stays affordable as the server grows. /pay friends, check /baltop, climb the /milestones.

LEARN AS YOU PLAY. Your first steps are a Settler advancement tab (press L), a path bar at the top of the screen, /howto, /rules and tips in chat. /travel takes you to spawn, the outposts and the ring spawns. /changelog tells you what changed since you last played.
