The Quest Board
The Hunter's path from E-Rank to S-Rank. Every 10th quest is a Rank Trial. Rewards are balance, XP and gear that gets better at each rank.
OVERTHRONE SMP
Player Guide
Everything you need to play OVERTHRONE SMP: installing the modpack, the keybinds that matter, quests, coins, warps, bosses and fixes for common problems.
Updated 9 October 2026
1Start Here
OVERTHRONE is a modded Minecraft server (NeoForge 1.21.1, around 100 mods). You need the modpack to join, as a normal Minecraft client can't connect.
- 01
Get the modpack
Download the OVERTHRONE modpack and import it into your launcher (CurseForge, Prism or the Modrinth app). The download link is posted in our Discord.
- 02
Give Minecraft enough memory
In your launcher, set the memory (RAM) for the pack to 6–8 GB. Less than that causes lag spikes and crashes with this many mods.
- 03
Join the server
Add a server with the address overthronesmp.net and join. The first load takes a while because of the mods. That's normal.
- 04
Fix your keybinds
Several mods share the same default keys. Spend two minutes on the keybind fixes before you fight anything.
- 05
Read the rules
Short version: no cheats, no griefing, be decent. Full list on the rules page.
- 06
Link your Discord
In our Discord, run /link with your Minecraft name while you're online in-game. You'll get a 6-digit code in Minecraft chat. Then run /verify with that code in Discord.
2Your First Hour
A quick route through the server so you know where everything is.
- 01
Explore the hub
You spawn in the OVERTHRONE hub, a city above the clouds. The warp boards there list every destination, or type /warp hub to come back any time.
- 02
Go to the RPG world
Type /rpg. The RPG world is a protected city where nobody can break or place blocks. It holds the Quest Board, the Arcade & Trade Hall and the Arcanum.
- 03
Talk to Questmaster Orin
Right-click Orin in the RPG world to open the quest book. You can also open it with the quest book button in your inventory. Start with the first quests to earn coins and gear.
- 04
Visit the Arcade
Type /warp arcade to see the gacha machines, the vending machines and the exchange counter. Everything there is paid for with coins you earn in game.
- 05
Pick a home
Head to the survival world with /warp survival, find a spot and claim it with Open Parties and Claims (press ', the apostrophe key) so nobody can grief it.
3Keybinds
These are the default keys for the main mods. Change any of them in Options → Controls → Key Binds. If your modpack already came with different keys, use those.
Epic Fight (combat)
| R | Switch between battle mode and mining mode |
|---|---|
| Left Mouse | Attack (in battle mode) |
| Right Mouse | Guard / block |
| Left Alt | Dodge |
| Space | Movement skill (for example a double jump), when you have one equipped |
| Left Mouse | Weapon skill. It shares the attack button by default; many players move it to a mouse side button |
| G | Lock on to a target |
| ←/→ | Switch lock-on target |
| Middle Mouse | Move the lock-on freely |
| K | Skill menu (equip and upgrade skills) |
| Y | Emote wheel |
Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks (magic)
| R | Spell wheel: pick a spell from your spellbook |
|---|---|
| V | Cast the selected spell |
| Left Alt+Scroll | Scroll through the spell bar |
| Not set | Quick-cast slots 1–15: bind these if you use a lot of spells |
Maps, waypoints and claims
| M | Xaero's World Map |
|---|---|
| Y | Xaero's Minimap settings |
| B | Xaero's: add a waypoint |
| U | Xaero's: waypoint list |
| M | FTB Chunks map (the pack has both map mods) |
| ' (apostrophe) | Open Parties and Claims menu: claims, parties and settings |
Voice chat, backpacks and other mods
| V | Simple Voice Chat menu (proximity voice) |
|---|---|
| M | Mute your microphone |
| N | Turn voice chat off/on |
| H | Hide voice chat icons |
| G | Voice chat groups |
| B | Open your Sophisticated Backpack |
| Alt+Z/Alt+X | Toggle backpack upgrades 1 and 2 |
| R/U | JEI: recipes / uses of the item under your mouse (in inventories) |
| O | Iris: choose a shader pack |
| K | Iris: turn shaders on/off |
| R | Iris: reload shaders |
Tip
Tensura: Reincarnated and other mods add their own keys for skills and menus. Open Options → Controls → Key Binds and look through the Tensura categories.
4Fix Key Conflicts
With the default keys, one button does several things at once. For example, R switches Epic Fight mode, opens the spell wheel and reloads shaders. Here's a setup that fixes all of them.
| Key | Used by (defaults) | Change this one | Suggested new key |
|---|---|---|---|
| R | Epic Fight mode switch · Iron's spell wheel · Iris reload shaders | Iron's Spells: Spell Wheel | Z |
| R | (same as above) | Iris: Reload Shaders | Unbind it |
| V | Iron's cast spell · Voice chat menu | Iron's Spells: Cast Spell | X or a mouse side button |
| K | Epic Fight skill menu · Iris toggle shaders | Iris: Toggle Shaders | Unbind it (use O instead) |
| M | Xaero's World Map · FTB Chunks map · Voice chat mute | FTB Chunks: Map | Unbind it (use Xaero's) |
| M | (same as above) | Voice Chat: Mute Microphone | J |
| G | Epic Fight lock-on · Voice chat groups | Voice Chat: Groups | Unbind it (groups are in the V menu) |
| B | Backpack · Xaero's add waypoint | Xaero's: New Waypoint | Unbind it (add waypoints from the map) |
| Y | Epic Fight emotes · Xaero's minimap settings | Xaero's: Minimap Settings | Unbind it |
Tip
Conflicting keys show in red in Options → Controls → Key Binds. If a button suddenly does two things, check there first.
5Combat, Magic & Skills
Fighting on OVERTHRONE uses Epic Fight, so it plays very differently from vanilla Minecraft.
- Battle mode vs mining mode. Press R to swap. Battle mode gives you combos, guarding and dodging with weapons. Mining mode is normal Minecraft for building and digging.
- Dodge, don't tank. Left Alt dodges through attacks. Big bosses hit hard, so learn their patterns and dodge their big swings.
- Guard with Right Mouse. Blocking at the right moment is much better than eating hits.
- Weapon skills. Each weapon type has its own skill and combo. Weapons from Weapons of Miracles and Simply Swords have special movesets.
- Skill menu (K). Equip skills like dodges and passives, and grow them with the Epic Fight Skill Tree.
- Magic. Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks adds spellbooks, scrolls and mana. Put spells into your spellbook at an Inscription Table, choose one with the spell wheel and cast it.
- Tensura: Reincarnated is the core of the server: your race, unique and extra skills, magic and battlewills. Browse them on the Tensura Skills page.
- Classes. Visit /warp classes in the hub to see the classes.
Tip
Damage numbers (from Combat Numbers) pop up when you hit something, so you can see which weapon and skills actually do more damage.
6Quests
There are over 1,100 quests in the quest book. Open it by talking to Questmaster Orin in the RPG world, or with the quest book button in your inventory.
The Hunter's Ledger
Ten Ledgers of coin quests covering farming, exploring, crafting, fishing, the Nether, magic, caves, bounties, the End and legendary feats. Finishing all of them pays about 1,500 Netherite coins.
| Quest Board rank | Quests | Chapter |
|---|---|---|
| E-Rank | 1–20 | The Awakening |
| D-Rank | 21–40 | The Wilds |
| C-Rank | 41–60 | Into the Depths |
| B-Rank | 61–80 | The Hunt Beyond |
| S-Rank | 81–100 | Overthrow |
| Ledger | Theme |
|---|---|
| I. Homestead | Farming, food and animals |
| II. Wanderlust | Exploring biomes and structures |
| III. Artisan's Guild | Crafting and building |
| IV. Tides & Tails | Fishing and the ocean |
| V. Into the Nether | The Nether and its fortresses |
| VI. Arcane Arts | Enchanting, brewing and magic |
| VII. The Deep Below | Caves, mining and the deep dark |
| VIII. Bounty Board | Hunting mobs |
| IX. The Far End | The End |
| X. Legends of the Realm | The hardest feats and bosses |
- Each Ledger unlocks once you've finished entry 50 of the one before it.
- Every 10th Ledger entry and each finale also gives enchanted gear. The strongest modded weapons, armour and spellbooks come from the late Ledgers.
- Hand-in quests take the items from your inventory, so don't hand in anything you want to keep.
7Coins & the Arcade
The server runs on Lightman's Currency coins: real items you carry, spend and trade.
- CopperBase coin
- Iron= 10 Copper
- Gold= 10 Iron
- Emerald= 10 Gold
- Diamond= 10 Emerald
- Netherite= 10 Diamond
10 of each coin is worth 1 of the next. So 1 Netherite coin = 100,000 Copper.
Earn
Quest rewards (especially the Ledger), voting, trading with players and selling what you gather.
Spend
The Arcade & Trade Hall in the RPG world: gacha machines for weapons, armour, enchants, runes and misc items, vending machines, and the exchange counter.
Share
Leave spare gear for new players, or grab something to get started. Take what you need, not everything.
Tip
Everything in the Arcade is grindable for free. Coins come from playing. You can't buy them with real money, and selling coins or items for real money breaks rule 1.5.
Vote for the server every day on the Vote page for extra rewards.
8Worlds & Warps
Use warps to get around fast. The warp boards in the hub list every destination.
/warp hubOVERTHRONE hub/warp survivalSurvival world/warp realmsRealm portals/warp marketMarket/warp tavernTavern/warp classesClasses/warp huntersHunters/warp cratesCrates/warp afkAFK area/rpgRPG world/warp arcadeArcade & Trade Hall/warp arcanumThe Arcanum: enchanting & runes
- The RPG world is protected. You can't break or place blocks, and buckets, flint and steel, fire charges and explosions are blocked. It's a city to visit, not to build in.
- Back to the hub: walk through the portal in the RPG world to return to the hub.
- Travel further: activate Waystones as you find them to teleport between them. Use Nature's Compass to find a biome.
- Maps: Xaero's Minimap and World Map (M) show where you are and your waypoints.
9Bosses & Dungeons
The pack adds a lot of things that want you dead. Gear up, bring food, and don't fight the big ones alone.
L_Ender's Cataclysm
Huge boss fights in their own structures: Ignis, the Netherite Monstrosity, the Ender Guardian, the Leviathan, the Harbinger, the Ancient Remnant, Maledictus and Scylla.
Mowzie's Mobs
The Ferrous Wroughtnaut, Frostmaw, Umvuthi and the Naga, each with its own attack pattern to learn.
The Aether
A floating dimension with dungeons and bosses: the Slider, the Valkyrie Queen and the Sun Spirit.
Deeper and Darker
A dimension reached from Ancient Cities in the deep dark, home to the Stalker. Sneak, and be quiet.
Born in Chaos
Nightmarish monsters that make the night much more dangerous. Don't wander far from a light source.
Dungeons & loot
YUNG's Better Dungeons, Dungeons and Taverns and Explorify add structures everywhere. Lootr gives every player their own loot from the same chest.
Warning
Apotheosis can make any mob an elite with extra powers, and gives gear random affixes and gem sockets. If a mob has a name and glows, be careful.
10Claims, Parties & Voice
Protect your base and play with friends.
- Claim your land. Press ' (apostrophe) to open Open Parties and Claims, then claim chunks on the map. Claimed blocks and containers are protected from other players.
- Make a party. Create a party in the same menu and invite your friends so they can build and open chests in your claims.
- Proximity voice chat. Simple Voice Chat lets you talk to players near you. Press V to open its menu and test your microphone. Set push-to-talk in the controls if you don't want an open mic.
11Known Issues & Fixes
Common problems and how to fix them.
My armour is invisible in Epic Fight battle mode
This is a known incompatibility between Epic Fight and some modded armour, including Tensura armour. Your armour still protects you; it just isn't drawn in battle mode. Press R to switch to mining mode to see it again.
My camera glitches in third person
This happens when two lock-on systems run together: Epic Fight's lock-on (G) and Better Lock On. Use only one. Unbind the one you don't want in Options → Controls → Key Binds.
The game crashes or freezes while loading
Usually not enough memory. Give the pack 6–8 GB of RAM in your launcher, then restart. Close other heavy programs.
My FPS is low
Turn shaders off with O (pick "None"), lower Render Distance to 8–12 and Simulation Distance to 6–8 in Video Settings. Sodium's extra options are under Video Settings too.
My keys do two things at once
Follow the key conflict fixes.
Nobody can hear me in voice chat
Press V, open the settings and pick the right microphone. Make sure you aren't muted (M) and that voice chat isn't turned off (N).
I found a bug or exploit
Report it privately in a Discord ticket. Don't abuse it; using bugs for an advantage is against rule 1.2.

13FAQ
Quick answers.
Is the server free?
Yes. You need Minecraft: Java Edition and the OVERTHRONE modpack.
Can Bedrock or console players join?
No. Modded servers only work with Java Edition on PC.
Can I add my own mods?
Only client-side mods that don't give an advantage, such as minimaps you already have, shaders or performance mods. X-ray, freecam and other cheat mods get you banned. If you're not sure, ask in a Discord ticket first.
What version is it?
Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge. Use the modpack so every mod version matches the server.
Where do I get help?
Open a ticket in the Discord, or check the forums.
