Minecrafter

A lone figure stands atop a towering mountain freshly conquered, gazing over a vast, un-blocky world. With a flick of their wrist, they set down another block, forming a bridge across a swallowing ravine. Deep underground, a miner chips away at the slate rock, unearthing shimmering diamonds before hastily crafting a blade to fend off the encroaching undead. A redstone engineer flips a switch, bringing a towering contraption to life, its mechanisms whirring with arcane precision. In the sky lights a beacon as a fighter chows down an enchanted apple. looking up and letting loose an arrow at the ender dragon above.

Minecrafters are resourceful survivalists, expert builders, and masterful artisans, able to craft powerful tools, shape the environment, and use the world itself as their weapon. Whether forging mighty weapons, summoning golems, or bending the laws of nature with redstone contraptions, a Minecrafter thrives in any situation—so long as they have the right materials.

World Shapers and Survivalists

Minecrafters are masters of adaptation, using whatever materials are at hand to build, craft, survive and thrive. Unlike traditional warriors or artificers, they rely on their ingenuity and resourcefulness to shape their surroundings, whether fortifying a base, setting traps, or crafting powerful tools in the midst of dangers. Every block they place, every single tool they forge, and every contraption they build reflects their creativity and understanding of the world.

A Minecrafter never sees an obstacle—only an opportunity. A sheer cliff is just a staircase waiting to be built. A deep cavern is a treasure trove of materials. Even in the heat of battle, a Minecrafter can construct barriers, raise platforms, or throw out fantastical potions to turn the tide. To them, the world is not just a battlefield—it’s a resource to be refined in their image.

Forgers of Their Desitny

While warriors also train with swords and artificers create as well, a Minecrafter’s strength comes from their hands and their recipe-addled mind. They do not rely on preordained magic or inherited strength—they build their own power, one block at a time. Given enough time and resources, a Minecrafter can craft weapons to rival a knight’s blade, fortresses that can withstand any assault, and machines that defy logic itself.

Some Minecrafters fill their time with fighting, using food made with their own two hands to aid them in battle. The more brilliant turn to architecture, constructing elaborate defenses and strongholds. And the more unusual among them begin exploring the lost arts of alchemy, with potions to help and hinder friends and foes alike.

Creating a Minecrafter

As you create your Minecrafter, consider the origins of your survival skills. Were you a lone wanderer from a inhabitable wasteland, shaping the world block by block to ensure your survival? Perhaps you were a master builder in a great city, constructing grand structures before disaster struck. Maybe you are a fearless explorer, charting unclaimed lands and delving deep within the earth in search of rare treasures and untold materials.

What drives your Minecrafter to adventure? Do you seek to build a stronghold of your own, to carve your name into the land itself? Are you a relentless builder, seeking to craft the greatest wonders ever seen? Or are you a restless explorer, determined to uncover the world’s secrets and tame its dangers? Your tools are your lifeline, your wits are your ever-present weapon, and the world itself is your canvas.

Quick Build

You can make a Minecrafter quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the miner or crafter background. Third, choose the stone chestplate and leggings, sword and shield, carpenter's tools and a pickaxe.

Questions to Consider when Creating Your Minecrafter

• How did you learn to shape the world arond you? Are you a minecrafter by race, and thus they came naturally? Or were you taught by a great wizened master?
• Do you prefer building grand potions, delving into depths, or mastering the art of crafting and redstone engineering?
• Do you prefer to design alone and be the master of your design, or do you let others cooperate with you to construct great wonders?
• What is your ultimate goal? Searching for the rarest materials, seeking to craft legendary items, or making a paradise of your own?

Storing

A minecrafter's most enviable and mysterious ability is that of their seemingly endless storage abilities. A minecrafter doesn't 'hold' items on their person like most creatures, but instead stores them in an inventory that only they can see and access. This inventory has three slots inside of it, the number of slots grows according to the "Inventory Slots" column on the minecrafter table. A number of objects can occupy the same slots if they are identical, such as blocks of material or pork chops. The amount of objects you can stack in a slot is equal to your proficiency bonus. You ignore the weight of objects inside your inventory, but you are considered over-encumbered if you try to carry any objects while all the slots in your inventory are filled.

When you die, all objects in your inventory spill out in the nearest unoccupied square.

Character sheet for the Minecrafter class

Stocking and Retrieval. You can pick up any small or smaller item that isn't tied down to the ground regardless of its weight, and once in your hand you can put it within your inventory as a free action. Similarly, you can take out any item (or stack of items) out of your inventory and hold them in your hand, or throw them on the ground in front of you. You can swap the item or stack you're holding with another item or stack from your inventory as a free action as long as neither is a shield.

Placing. If you are holding a block, you may place it on an unoccupied surface you can see within 5 feet of you as an action. Blocks placed this way stick to whatever surfaces you place them on as if they were glued in place.

Mining

As a minecrafter, your most powerful tools are the literal tools with which you can change the world around you, you can excavate, chip away or break blocks at speeds that look superhuman to onlookers. Bare handed it might be 5 minutes, but with the right wooden tools, it only takes you 1d4 minutes to carve out a cubic metre (3 foot on a side) of non-magic material, rolling a 1 will degrade your tool's durability by one, and you are required to maintain concentration while mining, with all the progress being lost if it is ever broken. Mining the block like this also makes noise and can possibly attract nearby creatures. The shape you mine material out in is always that of a seemingly-perfect cube, all of its corners are right angles and its edges are identical, it is smooth and equal on all sides. Cubes of the same kinds of material have the same properties and can be used in the same recipes, with only cosmetic differences (e.g. Pearlwood and Oakwood would still be wood blocks, same with limestone and quartzite being both rock blocks). This cube is a small-sized object.

Crafting

Your abilities of sticking simple objects together to create others are almost unmatched, you are not an artist creating works of art, but more of a human printing machine, being able to break down objects to their barest essential and make practical, simple tools out of them. You can craft items from blocks you have mined, as listed in the crafting recipes section, as you learn to work sturdier materials, more recipes will become available to you. Consult your DM for the ability to craft more personalized items. Most items require a Crafting Table to build, but some (marked in italics) can be crafted from hand. Either way it takes you a minute to craft an item or stack of items. You also do not suffer a -2 penalty for using improvised tools.

Minecrafter's Tools. The tools you used to mine and fight are some of the most helpful items for you to craft. They are extremely powerful for how easy they are to make, but because of this they are more brittle than those made normally, requiring more upkeep or replacement than normal tools made of the same materials. Whenever you use a Minecraft tool, if the result of the roll before modifiers is a 1 or lower on a dice you roll, be it a d20 or d6, then your tool breaks after it finishes the action.

When starting out, you can only use wooden tools, but as you advance in the Minecrafter class, you will learn to work better materials into tools, mine more materials, and unlock more possibilities in your crafting. Wooden tools take 1d6 minutes to break one block.

Note: Rules for letting Minecrafter character use normal weapons, or letting other characters use Minecrafter tools are at the bottom of the page.

Quick Construction

Roll	Blocks
≤1	-2
2-5	-1
6-10	—
11-15	+1
16-20	+2
≥21	+3

At 2nd level, you have begun to get comfortable enough with placing blocks that you can start building structures in the midst of combat to control the battlefield and receive tactical advantages. Placing. When you want to place down blocks you roll a Dexterity ability check, look on the table then add the result to your proficiency bonus to see how many blocks you can place down. If your result is a 20 before any modifiers, you automatically get the highest result on the table regardless of your actual result.

Whatever your result, you can always place at least one block.

Changing Blocks. If you ever wish to change the block you are constructing with, you may spend one "block placement" to change the block in your hand with another one from your inventory.

Structure Effects Blocks that stick to each other are called structures, and based on their shape and location they can have many different effects. You are encouraged to experiment with structures and consult with your DM on exact effects, but several examples have been listed in the structure examples list at the bottom of the page.

Structure Health and AC. The health and Armor Class of your structures is based on their size and material make-up. When determining how sturdy they are, they always use the least sturdy material that was used in their construction to calculate them.

Material	HP Modifier	AC Bonus
Wool, Leaves, etc.	0.5	+0
Ground	1	+0
Wood	2	+1
Stone	1.5	+3
Metal	2	+4
Jewel	4	+5
Ancient	5	+7
Mystic	6	+9

Structure HP= 5 * The Number of Blocks * Material HP Modifier

Structure AC= 8 + your proficiency bonus + Material AC Bonus

Destroying Structures When its HP reaches 0, the structure collapses and no longer provides any benefits. Any blocks used to construct it are lost. Some structures like wide walls or thin pillars may lose their functionality before they lose all HP. In these cases, parts of the structures still remain.

Note: If playing at a physical table, it is recommended to use d6 dice to conceptualize, represent, and explain the layout of the structures you are building to the rest of the players.

Armor Efficiency

At level 2, you also have the experience to use your Minecraft Armor more deftly than before, giving you a measure of survivability that's not to be expected from the way you look. For each piece of Minecraft Armor you're wearing, you receive one point of damage negation (All damage you receive is decreased by one), up to your proficiency bonus.

In addition, every time an enemy would land a critical hit on you, instead of taking damage you roll a d4, the piece of armor corresponding to the number (counting from the top) you rolled is destroyed and you take no damage instead. But if you don't have any armor in the corresponding slot, another random piece is destroyed instead and you take the damage as usual.

By 13th level, the damage negation bonus increases to two points of damage negation per piece, and the limit becomes 8 when wearing all 4 pieces.

Personal Hobby

By 3rd level, you've developed your skills as a Minecrafter enough that you've found yourself a hobby, which is the aspect of being a Minecrafter you spend most time on refining. Though called hobbies, minecrafters take them extremely seriously. You can see the Hobby options at Personal Hobby Options.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Stoneworking

At 5th level, you unlock the full functionality second tier of materials, you learn to create stone tools, and can now build a furnace to further take your crafts deeper. Now metals like iron, copper or gold have become available to you to craft into blocks or armors, though you can't yet work them into your specialized tools. Stone Tools. Can break up to 3 blocks in 1d8 minutes, a third of the time for less, breaking on a 1. You also gain proficiency with the Stonemason's tools.

Controlled Criticals

By 7th level, you realize one of the hidden tricks of the Minecrafter, and that is their abnormal critical strikes. You can call upon these strikes in dire situations. If you

• Have not taken an attack action this turn
• Are falling for at least 5 feet (from a structure or a high jump)

You can choose to make your next attack a critical hit, this attack automatically hits and is a critical hit, additionally, the enemy you hit has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you, and when the target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the attack, until the start of your next turn.

After you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Starting at level 10, you can use it twice before a rest. By level 15th, you can use it thrice before a rest, and additionally, you also get the disadvantage of attack rolls and resistance to damage dealt until the start of your next turn.

Metallurgy

By 9th level, you've learned how to turn metals into fine materials, being able to craft iron, golden, copper or even magical metals into tools. With these, you are able to mine most ores found in the ground as well as harvest precious sharp jewels without shattering them. This gives you access to jewel armors, and more esoteric recipes such as jukeboxes or the enchanting table. Iron Tools. Can break up to 7 blocks in 1d10 minutes, a third of the time for less, breaking on a 1. You also gain proficiency with the Smith's tools.

Your enchantment remains on the item indefinitely, even after you die.

Mysticraft

At 18th level, you have mastered your craft to a point few will ever dream of reaching, with your simple tools you can create enchanted materials that are as strong as many artifacts are.

The exact materials you come up with will differ, such as Netherite, Mythrill, Orichalcum or else.

Mystic Tools mystic tools can break up to d10 blocks a minute, and they never break.

Mystic tools often have additional effects based on the material they are made of, like Mythrill armor allowing the user to add some of their Dexterity bonus, or netherite tools getting a bonus to damage equal to a sharpening enchantment.

Skyline Shaper

Once you reach max level, you unlock the most esoteric and dangerous power of a minecrafter, the beacon. A special structure that requires a Beacon at its tip. When placed on a pyramid made of mineral blocks, like diamonds and gold and netherite, it will give you the ability to activate its powers to you and all allies you see within 100 feet of you, with the pyramid's size determining how many effects it has.

Personal Hobby Options

Fighting Hobby

These Minecrafters spend all of their time in the intense heat of battle, building or preparation isn't as important to them as their ability to act under pressure and to maximize success in the here and now. They are characterized by their great hunger and innate drive to eek out advantages in every situation.

Fueled

Food	Healing
Fruits, Vegs	d4 + con mod
Raw Meat	d6 + con mod
Bread	d8 + con mod
Cake (Entire)	d10 + con mod

A minecrafter who picks the fighting hobby learns the true purpose and usefulness of food. Where others see sustenance, they see fuel. You can now eat food from your inventory, that you have cooked gathered or made yourself, as a bonus action, and healing HP in the process. As your cooking methods refine, your possibility of foods will increase as well. You can get this healing effect of food a number of times equal to your Proficiency Modifier, recharging all uses of it on a Long Rest.

Any leftover healing is stored as satiation. If you have less than your maximum health at the start of your turn, your satiation will immediately refill your hit points up to your maximum. Two points of leftover healing become one satiation, and every point of satiation becomes one hit point.

You also gain advantage on Constitution Saving Throws made to resist the effects of eating rotten or poisoned food.

Relentless

By level 6th, you've learned to avoid the effects of many attacks as a minecrafter. You can reroll any saving throw you've failed. You can only do this once, regaining the ability to do so after a long rest.

Gourmet

Next is a series of foods, you are recommended to consult with the DM if any other foods you cook may have effects.

Food	Healing	Satiated Effect
Cooked Red Meat	d10 + con mod	+d6 weapon damage
Cooked White Meat	d8 + con mod	Advantage on hitting
Fish	d8 + con mod	Advantage on Dexterity rolls
Stew	d6 + con mod	You count as satiated for 1 hour
Vegetables (cooked)	d8 + con mod	Your AC increases by 2
Pie (whole)	d12 + con mod	d4 Temp HP at the start of each turn

Improved Criticals

By level 11th, you've perfected your controlled criticals to truly pack a punch. Whenever you land a critical and have satiation, whether by rolling a 20 or through your Controlled Critical feature, you do one more die of damage, of the same type as your weapon. (Two dice if using the axe.)

Notch Food. is the most incredibly extravagant kind of golden food. It is made with 8 golden blocks (72 ingots) and food. It has its healing maxed and tripled, keeps you satiated for a day, and its effect is tripled compared to its normal counterpart. (For example, if a piece of food would give you 3 armor negation, the notched version would give you 9, or if normally you'd get advantage, you get +10 and advantage instead)

Building Hobby

Minecrafters who pick up building are more interested in the endless potential of their blocks than the here and now, they are architects and dreamers, and work best when they have the time to let their skills run wild and build great things.

Minecrafters with the brewing hobby, though often called witches and outed as unusual, wish to fight and solve their problems using their potions and their unusual effects. They are categorized by having a potion for every situation, sometimes.

Potion Maker

At level 3, you pick up brewing and start making potions. To make your potions you need to have a component pouch and at least one block of wood, with which you make bowls to house your potions in.

Potions known. You know how to craft 3 kinds of potions, learning 2 new ones at 6th, 11th, and 17th level. All potions require the target to make a saving throw against their effects, against your Potion Effect DC

Alchemy Dice. You have three alchemy dice (shortened as AD), which are d4s. An alchemy dice is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended alchemy dice when you finish a short or long rest alongside a crafting table (as you create more potions to use for later). You gain another alchemy dice at 6th level, 11th level and 17th level

Using Potions. You can drink a potion or throw it at a creature you can see within 30 feet as a bonus action. All potions use one of your Alchemy Dice to use, though some may not ask you to roll it. The Saving Throw type and effect of the potion is listed on the "List of Potions" table. If an effect is listed as "—", nothing happens.

Saving Throws. Your potions allow your target to make a saving throw to resist the potion's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows.

Potion Effect DC= 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier (your choice)

Note: Remember that creatures can choose to fail Saving Throws.

Splash Potions

Crafting Recipes

Here is a list of items you can craft as a minecrafter.

Crafting Table
1 wood block. Block

Lets you utilize your full crafting power and craft items. Without using a crafting table, you can only craft recipes with italicized text. A crafting table also acts as a set of tools for any tool that you have proficiency in.

Minecrafter's Tools

The tools that Minecrafters use are versatile things, unlike normal smithing swords or tools that are produced, the materials with which they are made is interchangable, making a wide variety of possible tools to use.

Minecrafter's Tools Kind Damage Properties Sword S * d8 slashing Versatile (S * d10) Axe 2S * d6 slashing Heavy, two-handed Pickaxe S * d8 piercing — Shovel S * d6 bludgeoning Versatile (S * d8), special Hoe S * d6 piercing Light, finesse

Materials Material Sharpness ( S ) Wood 1 Stone 2 Metal 3 Diamond 4 Mystic 5

Sword
1 wood + 2 [Material]

Swords are the classic weapons of Minecrafters, sturdy, reliable, and nice in a pinch. They don't break as easily as axes, and can be used in more situations. For that though, they aren't much use outside of a fight.

Axe
1 wood + 2 [Material]

Axes can break through any non-magical wood, in fights they are fearsome weapons, cleaving through enemies with ease.

Shovel
1 wood + 1 [Material]

Shovels are made for digging through dirt, quite quickly too, their simple construction makes them some of the most reliable and easy to use tools for a minecrafter. But their little nubs leaves them to be desired. Whenever a shovel would break, roll a d3, if it lands on a 2 or 3 it does not break instead.

Hoe
1 wood + 2 [Material]

Hoes are renowned for their lack of use, they are useful in farming or animal husbandry, but most minecrafter would rather steal their wheat than till it, leaving the hoe an underwhelming option in combat. Though some crafty dextrous Minecrafters have found uses for this weapon.

Bow
2 [Material] + 1 string

Though not a mainstay tool, the bow is a great tool from a distance. It has the same stats as a longbow, though its damage is Td8 instead. It has 3*T Durability. Also, you can craft 4 arrows from one wood block to shoot from it, and arrows can stack up to 16 per inventory slot.

Crossbow
2 [Material] + 2 string + 1 metal

An advanced weapon for the more daring minecrafters, the crossbow is a heavy-duty bow. It has the same stats as a heavy crossbow, though its damage is Td10 instead, and it has 2*T Durability. Also, you can craft 4 arrows from one wood block to shoot from it, and arrows can stack up to 16 per inventory slot.

Minecrafter armor is not like most kinds of armors in the lands, it is made and worn in pieces. Each piece provides a different armount of protection, and their bonuses added up and rounded down can calculate your AC.

Helmet
5 [Material] Protects the head, this is generally the most important piece to have, although it offers less protection for its cost, not having a helmet is quite a a dangerous endeavor.

Chestplate
8 [Material] Protects the chest and shoulders, but doesn't offer much protection for the arms.

Leggings'
6 [Material] Protects the hips to the boots.

Boots'
4 [Material] Protects the feet.

Shields'
2 [Material] Adds +2 to AC when wielded. If a piece of armor breaks, a wooden shield will as well. Shields made of more precious materials do not add more to AC, but they may have those materials' bonuses.

Note: You can only get the AC calculation from the heaviest piece of armor you're wearing. E.g. Wearing a leather chestplate and wood leggings would make your AC equal to 10 + 1 (leather chestplate) + 0.66 (wooden leggings) + Dexterity bonus (max 2). If you were to add any piece of heavy armor, you could no longer add your Dexterity bonus to your ac.

Structure Examples

Below are listed some examples for structures that a Minecrafter could build in the heat of battle and their effects. Note that the are not all the possible structures, nor are their effects set in stone, a Minecrafter is encouraged to use their creativity both in and out of battle to create new structures for every situation.

Palisade

1 Block

The most basic structure there is, a single hip-high block to cover you from enemy fire. It can provide half cover from enemies facing it, though smart enemies will just reposition to shoot around it.

Pillar

2 Blocks

A short pillar, not tall enough to gain the height advantage and not wide enough to block sight. It provides half cover, more for Small creatures, and can be used to block line of sight if need be for things like escaping spell effects or using the hide action.

Mantlet

A minecrafter using a Mantlet to give himself cover in ranged combat.

3 blocks in an L pattern, with your body sticking out

Also called a "pillbox", this structure hides enough of your body to give you a considerable edge over long-distance fights, and is annoying to hit through even at melee distances. Provides three-quarters cover against ranged enemies and counts as difficult terrain.

Obstacles

2 blocks placed diagonally

Annoying to pass through, this can make a square difficult terrain, slowing any enemy that tires to pass.

Wall

4 blocks

The most obvious structure there is, gives you full cover and stops most enemies in their tracks. It cannot be passed through without enemies breaking, climbing, or going around it.

Pointy wall

A wall, with the tops being fence blocks, 2 fence and 2 blocks, 5 in total

Like a wall, but harder and tougher to get over. The fence blocks up above will deal 1d10 damage to any enemy foolish enough to try and climb it, and they get disadvantage on any Dexterity Acrobatics checks to climb it.

Door Trap

Four doors angled correctly around a pressure plate, 5 in total A classic trap, if an enemy wishes to go through this space (and they are medium or smaller), they must make a DC 20 Intelligence saving throw to figure out the trap before trying to step through and getting trapped.

Multiclassing

Prerequisites. To qualify for multiclassing into the Minecrafter class, you must meet these prerequisites: 13 str

Proficiencies. When you multiclass into the Minecrafter class, you gain the following proficiencies: Minecraft Armors, Shields, Minecraft Tools, Carpenter's Tools.

Optional Rule: Using Normal Tools

Letting a Minecrafter player use other tools or letting another player use a Minecrafter's tools is not encouraged, but possible. If a DM wishes to allow this then these are the rules: The Minecrafter is proficient in Longbows, Longswords, Waraxes and Warpicks, and a character that is proficient in any of those can use the corresponding Minecraft tool. But because they are not proficient in handling Minecraft tools, in the hands of another a tool instantly breaks when it would lose durability, regardless of its current durability.
