Getting Started

Getting Started

Your first base

1. Craft a Siege Core from eight Diamond Blocks and a Redstone Block, see Recipes.
2. Place it near the center of the base you want to defend. Placing it registers the base to you.
3. Right-click it to open the Core menu. Team, Threat, rewards and upgrades are all here.
4. Keep a path open. Enemies must be able to walk to the Core. See Keep a walkable path.
5. Build your defense. Put barricades and traps along the route you expect enemies to take.

Playing alone? Lower the required players first:

How an invasion starts

Your activity near the Core raises its Threat. When the bar is full, an invasion is prepared and starts after a delay of 15 minutes by default. You can also start one right away:

/siege start

More on this under Invasions.

Surviving

• Siege mobs march on the Core. They only turn on attackers for a short time.
• Watch the HUD on the right: it shows the wave, the Core's health and the remaining enemies.
• Repair the Core during the fight by right-clicking it with an Iron Ingot or a Diamond.
• Kill Sappers before they reach your traps and Siege Shamans before they heal the wave.

After the fight

Open the Core and claim your rewards. Spend your Siege Tokens on upgrades and new defenses, then raise the stage for bigger rewards:

If the Core is destroyed, the invasion fails, and the Core explodes.
