Minecraft Angel vs Demon Server: Which Side Fits You?

A Minecraft angel vs demon server is a survival server where players line up with light or darkness as part of the fantasy. AngelicCraft is built around exactly that idea, so this guide explains what the style is, how to think about which side suits you, and what we can say about the server so far.

Quick note: AngelicCraft has not launched to the public yet. This article sticks to the concept and the confirmed basics.

What is an alignment-based survival server?

An alignment-based survival server gives players a moral identity inside the game world. Instead of everyone being a generic adventurer, you belong to a side, usually good or evil, and that identity is part of the theme. The classic pairing is light against dark, and angels against demons is one of the most recognizable versions of it.

The appeal is mostly about story. Survival Minecraft already gives you freedom to build, farm and explore. An alignment adds a question on top: who is your character? That question can shape your builds, your name, your base design and how you talk to other players.

If you want to see how this theme appears across the wider server scene, the server list Minecraftiplist has tag pages for both Angel and Demon servers.

The idea behind AngelicCraft's Angel vs. Demon system

AngelicCraft is a fantasy survival server built around an Angel vs. Demon alignment system. The name hints at it: the server's identity is the contrast between the two sides, wrapped around a survival world.

The finer details of how the alignment system plays out are still to come, and it would be unfair to guess. What we can say is the theme: two opposing sides in one fantasy world.

How essence ties to alignment

Players on AngelicCraft earn essence, and that essence is tied to their alignment. That is the part we can confirm for now.

How essence is earned and what it is used for are not covered here yet. If those details matter to you, the Discord is the best place to watch (more on that below).

How to think about choosing a side

Since the finer mechanics are not shared yet, a good way to think about it is by fantasy and playstyle preference. Think of it as picking a character, not a loadout. These questions can help:

• What fantasy appeals to you? Do you picture a radiant guardian watching over the world, or a fiery rebel who breaks the rules?
• What do you like to build? Bright cathedrals, floating gardens and marble halls suggest one mood. Obsidian fortresses, lava moats and dark spires suggest another.
• How do you like to roleplay? Some players enjoy playing a noble hero. Others prefer the charm of a well-played villain.
• What colors and style feel like you? Gold and white, or red and black? This is a surprisingly good tiebreaker.
• What would your friends pick? Playing alongside friends, or deliberately opposite them, can be half the fun.

There is no wrong answer here. Whichever side you lean toward, the fun of a good-versus-evil theme is picking a fantasy you enjoy.

Alignment alongside RPG progression

AngelicCraft also uses a set of well-known gameplay plugins, which cover things like skills, levels, custom mobs and cosmetics on top of survival:

• AuraSkills for skills and leveling. According to the AuraSkills wiki, AuraSkills is built for Spigot and Paper servers and gives XP from everyday activities, 11 default skills (such as Farming, Mining, Fishing and Fighting) and two stats per skill. Most skills have passive abilities, and some have a mana ability that costs mana and has a cooldown.
• CyberLevels for player levels.
• MythicMobs for custom mobs and bosses.
• UltraCosmetics for cosmetics.
• FancyNPCs, DeluxeMenus and EssentialsX for NPCs, menus and core server commands.

We have not shared how the server configures these plugins, so treat the AuraSkills description above as what the plugin offers in general.

Ranks on AngelicCraft

New players start with the default rank, Mortal. The supporter ranks, available through the server's Tebex store, are Divine, Archon, Eternal, Ascended and Guardian. You can see them on the ranks page.

This article does not cover what each rank includes, so check the store page for the latest information.

We know essence is tied to your alignment, but we do not have details on earning and using it yet. Check the Discord for updates.

Get ready to pick your side

If a light-versus-dark survival world sounds like your kind of game, save the address angeliccraft.net and join the Discord at discord.angeliccraft.net for updates. AngelicCraft has not launched publicly yet, so for now the best move is to think about which side you are leaning toward, and be ready when news arrives.
