**⚓ CASTAWAY — push back the fog, together.**
You wash ashore beside a lonely Lighthouse. Beyond the nearby islands lies a wall of fog, and the whole server has to work together to roll it back.
**🗼 The Lighthouse.** Offer tributes (timber, stone, fish, sunken relics and more) at the altar. When every request is met, the tier rises: the fog recedes, new islands appear and new features unlock for everyone. The Nether opens at Tier 3 and the End at Tier 6.
**🌊 Living events.**
• *Low tides* every two hours wash glowing treasure caches onto the beaches
• *Drifting wrecks* rise from the fog with raider crews guarding their holds
• *The Leviathan*, a colossal sea boss, hunts the deep later in the season
• *Messages in a bottle*: write a note, tuck in a gift and throw it to sea for a stranger to find
**✨ Fair and modern.**
• Java & Bedrock crossplay
• Cosmetic-only Shells currency: trails, name colours, titles. No pay-to-win, ever.
• Golden-shovel land claims, opt-in PvP, rollback protection, anti-cheat
• Live 3D map that only reveals what the community has uncovered
• Daily login streaks, vote rewards, community Shell Storms
