A fully‑fledged nation diplomacy system, Discord‑linked politics, new races, new towns, and a polished website — Globeworks is evolving fast.

Day 5 Update

Today marks one of the biggest leaps forward in Globeworks’ political and nation‑to‑nation gameplay. Our brand‑new Globeworks Diplomacy plugin — built in‑house and tightly integrated with Towny and SiegeWar — is now live, bringing structure, clarity, and real consequences to international relations across the server.

Diplomacy: Nation Politics With Real Power

For the first time, nations on Globeworks have a persistent, server‑wide political system that governs alliances, wars, neutrality, siege permissions, and even Discord notifications.

Here’s how it works for players:

  • Every nation pair has a relationship state: NEUTRAL, ALLIANCE, or WAR.
  • Alliances require mutual consent — one nation proposes, the other accepts.
  • War declarations set the relationship to WAR but do not automatically start a siege.
  • Sieges are gated: you can only begin a siege if your nation is formally at war and not Towny allies.
  • Towny allies are synced automatically when alliances are formed.
  • Peace requires mutual consent, and accepting peace ends any active sieges between the nations.
  • Discord notifications announce major diplomatic events — alliance proposals, war declarations, peace deals — keeping the whole server informed.
  • Audit logs track every action for moderators: proposals, acceptances, blocks, declarations, and more.

Players interact with diplomacy through commands like:

  • /diplomacy alliance propose @@BODY_HTML@@lt;nation@@BODY_HTML@@gt;
  • /diplomacy war declare @@BODY_HTML@@lt;nation@@BODY_HTML@@gt;
  • /diplomacy peace propose @@BODY_HTML@@lt;nation@@BODY_HTML@@gt;
  • /diplomacy list to see your nation’s allies and wars
  • /diplomacy all for server‑wide relations

Behind the scenes, the plugin manages a relation cache, writes to MariaDB, enforces siege rules, updates Towny, and sends Discord webhook announcements — giving Globeworks a political system deeper than anything Towny or SiegeWar provide on their own.

This is a major milestone for the server, and it sets the foundation for meaningful diplomacy, structured conflict, and long‑term nation strategy.

Version Enforcement: Keeping Players Up to Date

We’ve added a new version‑check system to ensure players are connecting with the correct Minecraft version.
A surprising number of players were trying to join on older versions — but Globeworks runs on 26.2, and now the server will clearly warn anyone who’s behind.

Silverstone Ice Track: Complete and Racing 🏁⛸️

The massive Silverstone‑inspired ice boat track is now fully complete — and it’s already hosted several trial races.
It’s fast, technical, and one of the most impressive community builds so far.

A full race day is coming soon.

Website Updates: New FAQ Entries

The website FAQ has been updated to include:

  • LecternScanners
  • Security Detectors
  • TownyIgnore
  • The brand‑new Diplomacy plugin

Players can now get a clearer understanding of how these systems work and how to use them in their builds.
