Wynncraft is a fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Minecraft server created by Jumla, Salted, and Grian, and released in April 2013.[1] According to Salted, one of the server's owners, over 2.9 million players have played on the server as of March 2021.[2]

Gameplay

Wynncraft's gameplay revolves around completing quests, joining guilds, and fighting bosses, among other things.[3] Players are required to select a class between Archer, Assassin, Mage, Warrior,[4] and Shaman; and after a tutorial start in the Wynn province,[3] one of Wynncraft's five known provinces. The server's world has an approximate size of 4,400 by 5,500 blocks,[5] and consists of two continents, Wynn and Gavel, divided by an ocean with islands.[4] Wynncraft's design is inspired by the MMORPG RuneScape,[4] and as of 2021, it has hundreds of quests.[6][7] Aside from the cost of Minecraft, the server is free-to-play, with players being able to purchase cosmetic in-game items.[3][8]

Reception

Wynncraft has been praised for its extensiveness and gameplay. Writing for Kotaku Australia, Luke Plunkett praised Wynncraft's map and called the server "a full and proper MMO".[8] Carl Velasco of Tech Times said that the server is "nuts" and "a stunning example of what can be created using Minecraft's own sandbox engine".[3] Austin Wood, writing for PC Gamer, was "continually floored by all you can do".[4] As of 4 July 2017, Wynncraft is the largest MMORPG built in Minecraft, according to the Guinness World Records.[1]
