If You Just Joined

Follow this order before worrying about raids, bosses, or perfect enchants. HeartRiven gets easier once you connect the systems in the right order.

Accept the resource pack when Minecraft asks.

Run /hr and use it as your main menu hub.

Visit /warps so you know where Jobs, Crates, AH, and Enchanter are.

Run /jobs and pick up to 3 jobs that match how you already play.

Run /rtp to enter the wilderness, then move away from the landing spot.

Run /sethome base once you find a safe place.

Create or join a faction before building anything serious.

Use /f claim to protect chunks before placing valuables.

Earn coins through jobs, shop sales, votes, AH, contracts, and events.

Use /enchanter, /tinkerer, and /alchemist to build gear over time.

Check /gearscore and /dungeon check before attempting higher content.

Claim milestone rewards with /progress and event rewards with /event drops.

Core Loop

How Progression Actually Works

HeartRiven is not one plugin. It is a loop. If you only mine, you fall behind in enchants. If you only PvP, you run out of coins. If you ignore DTR, your faction becomes vulnerable.

Explore

Find land, resources, mobs, structures, and risk in the wilderness.

Claim

Protect a base, faction home, farms, storage, and spawners.

Earn

Use jobs, shop, AH, votes, contracts, and events to build coins.

Upgrade

Buy books, use dust, apply scrolls, improve gear score, and level skills.

Fight

Defend DTR, steal hearts, pressure factions, and run PvE content.

Reinvest

Turn rewards into stronger gear, better claims, safer storage, and future runs.

Roadmap

Early, Mid, And Late Game

Use these stages as checkpoints. You can move faster or slower, but skipping fundamentals usually gets expensive.

First hour through first stable base

Early Game

Survive, understand the server, get income started, and stop carrying everything you own.

Do Now

Accept the resource pack.
Run /jobs and choose Miner, Farmer, Hunter, or a similar starter mix.
Run /rtp, travel away, set /sethome base, then claim land.
Use /shop and /sellhand for basic income.
Buy low-tier enchant books before risking expensive books.
Keep your hearts safe and check /pvp status.

Avoid

Do not spend all coins gambling high-tier books on weak gear.
Do not build an obvious surface base beside the RTP landing area.
Do not carry all heart items, keys, scrolls, or rare drops into PvP.
Do not fight from your only kit.

You are ready for mid game when you have a claimed base, jobs picked, a coin flow, protected storage, spare food, and a basic enchanted kit.

Faction growth, gear planning, market play, and first PvE gates

Mid Game

Turn random progress into a plan: better claims, better gear, stronger economy, and real dungeon/event readiness.

Do Now

Use /fupgrades to turn faction coins into long-term claim and DTR benefits.
Use /gearscore item before and after major gear upgrades.
Use /tinkerer for bad books and /alchemist for useful combines.
Start selling useful books, dust, keys, and supplies through /ah.
Level /skills categories that help your chosen path.
Run /dungeon check riven_crypts and fix the missing requirements.

Avoid

Do not ignore DTR just because your gear is good.
Do not overclaim land you cannot defend.
Do not list valuable items on AH before checking current prices.
Do not treat events like normal inventory gameplay.

You are ready for late game when your faction can defend its land, your economy is repeatable, your gear score is intentional, and you understand event/dungeon reward flow.

Bosses, high-tier enchants, faction pressure, and long-term wealth

Late Game

Optimize, specialize, and compete without wasting rare materials.

Do Now

Build separate PvP, PvE, gathering, and backup kits.
Use White Scrolls and Holy White Scrolls on items you cannot replace easily.
Save Riven Shards for gear modding decisions that match your role.
Use Breach Tokens through /event shop after events.
Push dungeon readiness tier by tier instead of skipping requirements.
Use AH as both a selling floor and a way to buy exact missing pieces.

Avoid

Do not apply every rare book just because it is rare.
Do not let DTR drop because the faction is bored or careless.
Do not use your best kit for unknown fights with no backup plan.
Do not confuse cosmetic progression with combat progression.

Late game is not a finish line. It is a loop of better gear, harder content, smarter markets, stronger faction defense, and cleaner risk management.

HeartRiven SystemLifesteal Hearts

/hearts/hearts view <player>/hearts withdraw <amount>

Lifesteal Hearts

Hearts are the identity of the SMP. Kills can transfer hearts, heart items can be withdrawn, and the cap prevents infinite snowballing.

The minimum is 1 heart and the maximum is 20 hearts.
A valid kill can transfer 1 heart.
The same-victim cooldown is 60 minutes.

Maximum faction size is 5 members.
Faction names must be 3 to 16 characters.

HeartRiven SystemHomes, Warps, RTP, And Travel

/rtp/sethome <name>/home <name>

Homes, Warps, RTP, And Travel

Progression Rewards, Quests, And Seasonal

HeartRiven rewards steady gameplay through milestones, daily quests, weekly quests, seasonal challenges, and faction objectives.

Key Facts

/progress gives one-time milestone rewards for real gameplay.
Daily quests rotate and show 5 active choices at a time.
Weekly quests are larger goals with stronger rewards.
Seasonal challenges are long-form goals for the whole season.
Rewards are useful progression items: coins, books, dust, scrolls, shards, tokens, keys, and claim growth.

Useful Commands

Smart Play

Check rewards before starting a long grind so your playtime counts toward something.
Do daily quests when they match what you already planned to do.
Use weekly and seasonal goals as direction when you feel stuck.
Faction objectives are strongest when the whole faction contributes.

HeartRiven SystemCustom Enchants And Gear Score

/enchanter/tinkerer/alchemist

Custom Enchants And Gear Score

Gear is not just vanilla enchants. HeartRiven reads vanilla enchants, AdvancedEnchantments, item material, durability, and equipped slots for Gear Score.

Key Facts

Gear Score is a progression rating, not a hidden paid damage boost.
Helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, main hand, and offhand are counted.
Normal Minecraft enchants count.
AdvancedEnchantments count by enchant, level, and rarity.
Empty score slots count as 0.
Dungeon checks use Gear Score plus skill requirements.

Useful Commands

Smart Play

Upgrade weak armor slots, not only your sword.

Use Alchemist for books worth combining.
Check /gearscore item before selling or applying rare books.

HeartRiven SystemSpawners And Structure Loot

/ah/ah sell <price>/f claim

Key Facts

Mob spawners can be mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe where you are allowed to break blocks.
Dropped spawners keep their mob type when placed again.
Generated wilderness chests can roll spawners at 2.5%.

Use AH price checks before selling rare hostile or village-type spawners.

HeartRiven SystemRiven Shards And Riven Mods

/rivenmods/event shop/event drops

Riven Shards And Riven Mods

Riven Shards are for gear modding and normal-world progression decisions. Breach Tokens are separate and belong to the event shop.

Key Facts

Use /rivenmods to open gear modding.
Riven Shards are earned through progression, events, and rare rewards.
Breach Tokens are spent in /event shop.
Do not confuse shards with event tokens.
Gear mods should match your role: PvP, PvE, gathering, or survivability.
Save shards until you know what your kit needs.

Useful Commands

Smart Play

Do not spend shards just because you have them.
Mod gear you plan to keep.
If you mainly fight bosses, build differently than a wilderness PvPer.
Keep shards safe like scrolls and keys.

HeartRiven SystemVoting, Crates, And Cosmetics

/vote/votegui/votelist

Voting, Crates, And Cosmetics

Use /vote for the live voting menu.
Each vote gives a Vote Crate Key, coins, and food.
Voting on all listed sites in one day gives extra rewards.

Cosmetics are for style; keep gear progression separate.
If a vote site says you already voted, wait for that site's cooldown.

HeartRiven SystemDungeons

/dungeons/dungeon info <dungeon>/dungeon check <dungeon>

Dungeons

Dungeons are the long-term PvE ladder. Each tier checks skills and Gear Score so players progress step by step.

HeartRiven SystemVoice Chat

/voicechat/discord

Voice Chat

Simple Voice Chat adds proximity voice for nearby players who install the client mod. It is optional, but useful for factions, events, trading, and casual base work.

Key Facts

The server plugin is installed, but players still need the client mod.
Vanilla Minecraft without the mod cannot use voice chat.
Fabric, Forge, Modrinth, CurseForge, Prism, and manual client setups can work if the Simple Voice Chat version matches the client.
Lunar users generally need to add the mod manually through Lunar's mods folder workflow.
Voice chat is proximity-based, not server-wide Discord voice.
Use push-to-talk if voice activation is too noisy.

Useful Commands

Smart Play

Restart Minecraft after installing the mod.
Check keybinds before an event starts.
Test with a nearby player instead of assuming it works from far away.
Use Discord for server-wide calls and voice chat for nearby in-game communication.

Gear

Enchanting, Gear Score, And Builds

Strong players do not apply random books to random items. They build kits for a job: PvP, bosses, gathering, faction defense, or selling.

Starter PvP Sword

Vanilla: Sharpness V, Unbreaking III, Mending, Fire Aspect if you like pressure.

Custom: Look for early damage or pressure enchants such as Strike, Epicness, Berserk, Ravenous, or Featherweight.

Do not stack expensive books on a sword you cannot replace.

Boss/PvE Weapon

Vanilla: Sharpness V or Smite V depending on target, Looting III when farming mobs, Unbreaking III, Mending.

Custom: Use enchants that trigger on ATTACK_MOB or SHOOT_MOB. Strike and Forcefield-style damage pressure are useful when tuned for mobs.

PvE gear should be reliable, not only flashy.

Armor Core

Vanilla: Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending, Feather Falling IV on boots, Respiration/Aqua Affinity on helmet when needed.

Custom: Reflect, Ward, Molten, Jelly Legs, Wings, Aquatic, and Glowing can matter depending on role.

A balanced armor set usually raises Gear Score better than one overloaded piece.

Bow Kit

Vanilla: Power V, Unbreaking III, Mending or Infinity, Flame if you want pressure.

Custom: Explosive, Strike, and other SHOOT/SHOOT_MOB enchants are the bow direction to watch.

Bow value depends on aim, space, and whether the fight lets you keep distance.

Gathering Tools

Vanilla: Efficiency V, Fortune III or Silk Touch, Unbreaking III, Mending.

Custom: Experience, Hasten, Haste, Smelting, Vein Miner, Telepathy, Harvest, Replanter, and Gemify are strong utility targets.

Keep one Fortune pick and one Silk Touch pick if you can.

If an item matters, check it with /gearscore item, protect it with scrolls when appropriate, and avoid gambling rare books onto gear you cannot replace.

Economy

How Coins Move

The server economy is player-driven. The shop stabilizes basics, AH handles real market value, jobs provide steady income, and events/dungeons feed useful progression materials.

Coins

Starting balance is 250 coins.
Faction creation costs 500 coins.
/pay has a 1% tax and a cooldown.
Use /history if your money flow looks wrong.

Server Shop

Shop stabilizes basic progression; it is not the endgame market.
Buy/sell basics include common building and utility items.
Sell-only categories include farm output, mob drops, and common mining output.
The shop does not sell direct endgame power.

Auction House

AH is the main player-driven market.
Use /ah sell <price> for buy-now listings.
Bid-style auctions are disabled.
Listing tax is 3%, minimum BIN is 25 coins, and the price cap is effectively uncapped.
Normal mob spawners are allowed on AH.

Contracts And Bounties

Contracts let players escrow coins for item deliveries.
Bounties let players put coins on targets.
Both systems move coins between players instead of printing free power.

Events, Voting, And Rewards

Useful Rewards Without P2W

Rewards should help active players progress. The important split: Riven Shards feed gear modding, Breach Tokens feed the event shop, and Vote keys feed the vote crate.

Riven Breach Boss Order

Round 5: Rivenhorn Warden
Round 10: Bloodweb Matriarch
Round 15: Ashen Bone Tyrant
Round 20: Celestial Dragon
Round 25: The Fallen Devastator

FAQ

Common Questions

Quick answers for the things players usually ask after joining.

What should I do first?

Accept the resource pack, run /hr, choose jobs, RTP to wilderness, set a home, create or join a faction, claim your base, and start earning coins.

Why do I need Gear Score?

Gear Score shows whether your equipped gear is progressing. Dungeon checks use it along with skills, so weak armor, empty offhand, or missing enchants can hold you back.

Are Riven Shards and Breach Tokens the same?

No. Riven Shards are used for Riven Mods and gear progression. Breach Tokens come from Riven Breach and are spent in /event shop.

Can I sell spawners?

Normal mob spawners are allowed on AH. They are rare progression assets and should be priced by players.

Why can I not teleport during combat?

Combat tag rules prevent escape commands from deleting risk. If you are fighting, assume /home, /spawn, /rtp, /tpa, and similar commands may be blocked.

What is the best path?

There is no single best path. Safe starters, faction builders, market players, PvPers, gear crafters, and event grinders all connect into the same progression loop.

Still Lost?

Join the Discord, ask other players what they are grinding, and use the in-game menus. The best HeartRiven players connect systems instead of trying to brute-force one thing forever.
