Quickstart

1. Craft a Rift Altar using the recipe below and place it in your world.
2. Pick a class with /realmforge class <warrior|mage|rogue|summoner|ranger|paladin>.
3. Right-click the Rift Altar to open a Rift Expedition and fight off three waves of enemies.
4. Check your progress anytime with /realmforge profile.

Overview

Realmforge Ascension turns your world into a persistent RPG. Choose one of six classes, mark your territory with a Rift Altar, and battle through escalating waves of rift enemies to earn Ascension XP and grow your character's power. Progress is saved to your player profile and persists across sessions.

What It Adds

How To Use

Choosing a Class

Use the command:

/realmforge class <warrior|mage|rogue|summoner|ranger|paladin>

Each class represents a different playstyle path. You can change your class at any time by simply issuing the command again with a different class name.

Checking Your Profile

/realmforge profile

This displays your chosen class, current level (up to a cap of 1000), and accumulated Ascension XP.

Starting a Rift Expedition

Place a Rift Altar and right-click it. You must have chosen a class first. Once triggered:

• The rift opens and enemies spawn near the altar.
• You must defeat all enemies in a wave before the next one arrives.
• There are three waves total, each tougher than the last, scaled to your current level.
• Stay near the altar — moving too far away, dying, or changing worlds will cause the expedition to withdraw and end early.
• Completing all three waves rewards you with progression toward your character's growth.

Only one expedition can be active per player at a time.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Rift Altar is crafted from obsidian, amethyst shards, and an ender eye:

The Ascension Codex is not crafted through a recipe — it is a marker item tied to your progression and can be found in the Ingredients creative tab, while the Rift Altar is available in the Functional creative tab for easy access.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Classes: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Summoner, Ranger, and Paladin each mark your character with a distinct identity. Class choice is flexible and can be swapped freely.
• Leveling: Your level and Ascension XP are tracked persistently and displayed through your profile. Level caps at 1000.
• Renown: A hidden secondary progression score is tracked alongside level and XP for future growth and bragging rights.
• Rift Expeditions: Triggered at any Rift Altar, these are timed combat encounters where you fend off escalating waves of enemies. Enemy strength scales with your level, keeping the challenge relevant as you grow stronger.

Progression And Strategy

• Build multiple Rift Altars around your base or explored territory to have convenient access to expeditions wherever you roam.
• Keep an eye on the action bar during an active expedition for wave updates and rift status.
• Since altars are extremely tough to break, they make durable, permanent fixtures for repeated grinding.
• Use /realmforge profile regularly to track your climb toward higher levels and greater Ascension XP as you battle through the rifts.
