The Gamers For Wellness (GFW) Minecraft Server has officially transitioned from Pre-Alpha to Alpha following a successful development period and the acquisition of its third major developer sponsorship, mcMMO, a beloved RPG-style skill progression plugin.

Since its initial launch, the server has undergone numerous updates, introducing new gameplay mechanics, economy systems, and community-driven features, all designed to foster a welcoming and engaging environment for our mission. Now, with the backing of mcMMO, the server is poised to expand further, offering players enhanced RPG elements, skill-based progression, and more interactive gameplay.

What’s New in Alpha?

With the shift to Alpha, players can expect:

mcMMO Integration – Introducing skill leveling, special abilities, and competitive PvE/PvP enhancements.

Expanded Fishing System – Rare fish, weather-based catches, and an upcoming fish shop in Sanctuary.

Improved Economy – Wellness Coins (WC) now fuel land claims, teleports, and player-run shops.

Land Expansion – Increased claim limits (up to 100 chunks) and refined upkeep mechanics.

Daily Rewards & Voting Incentives – Working on new login bonuses and voting perks to boost player engagement.

A Thriving Community Economy

The server’s Wellness Coins (WC) system has evolved into a player-driven marketplace, where teleports, land claims, and shop profits circulate wealth back into the community. Recent adjustments include:

  • Land upkeep reduced from 250 WC → 100 WC per chunk.
  • New players start with 500 WC to jumpstart their journey.
  • Voting rewards (coming soon) to incentivize growth.

What’s Next?

With Alpha now underway, the GFW team is focusing on:

🔹 Finalizing mcMMO’s integration for skill-based gameplay.

🔹 Expanding Sanctuary with more shops, quests, and supporter housing.

🔹 Tournaments & Events – Fishing contests and community builds.

🔹 Bug fixes & optimizations to ensure smooth performance.

“We’re thrilled to enter Alpha with such strong community support,” said Korey, the nonprofit’s CEO. “Our sponsorships, especially mcMMO & Lands, will help us deliver the RPG-depth and economy players have been asking for.”
