Paladium

🏰 About Paladium

Paladium is a French, modded PvP–Factions Minecraft project (active since 2015) that centers on competitive faction play with added custom content. The community-run network mixes faction PvP with dedicated minigames, events and larger modded systems designed around the server's custom "Palamod".

🎮 Gameplay

Expect a PvP-first, progression-driven experience built on custom items and machines from the server's modpack. Players progress through jobs/professions, craft and use modded gear, take part in dungeon-style content and seasonal events, and can switch to shorter minigame sessions when they want a break from faction play.

⚔️ Game Modes

⚔️ PvP / Factions

The core mode is modded faction PvP: group-based play, base building and conflict over resources and territory using the server's custom items and mechanics. Gameplay emphasizes PvP encounters, raiding strategies and coordinated team play.

🛏️ Bedwars

Paladium also offers a Bedwars minigame mode, presented as one of the additional competitive modes alongside the main faction experience.

🎨 Paintwars

A separate, smaller minigame (Paintwars) is available for players who prefer fast, round-based matches rather than the long-form faction gameplay.

✨ Features

• Modded server with a custom "Palamod" providing new items, machines and mechanics.
• Jobs / professions that provide progression and rewards.
• Official in-game shop/store and economy elements.
• Dungeons and timed events run by the team.
• Multiple minigames (Bedwars, Paintwars) in addition to the main faction mode.
• Official launcher and a public wiki with documentation and commands.
• Active community tools: official Discord, staff recruitment and published sanction rules.

💰 Economy and Progression

The server uses jobs/professions and an in-game economy alongside an official store. The project publishes terms and states microtransactions are managed within EULA guidelines; progression mixes resource gathering, modded crafting and shop-based transactions.

🛡️ Community and Rules

Paladium publishes an in-game ruleset, a sanctions table and a staff list. The community is supported by an official Discord and documentation for gameplay and server systems.

🧭 Who Should Play Here

• Players who enjoy competitive faction PvP with long-term progression.
• Fans of heavily modded servers and custom items/machines.
• Teams and groups who enjoy coordinated raiding and base defense.
• Players who also want occasional minigames (Bedwars, Paintwars) and structured events.

🔌 Connection Notes

Playing Paladium requires the project's launcher and a Paladium account for the Java client; Bedrock support is offered through a separate server endpoint. The server provides official launchers for supported platforms and a public wiki with platform-specific connection instructions.

🤙 Friend Tip

If you join, take a few minutes to read the wiki pages on the modded items and jobs—Palamod mechanics change how gearing and base tech work compared with vanilla survival.
