Nightfall

🏰 About Nightfall

Nightfall is a focused minigame server that runs a remake of the classic Dwarves vs Zombies (DvZ) experience. Games pit a group of survivors against waves of monsters in map-sized encounters where teamwork, building, and timing matter. The site and wiki present the server as a rules-driven, community-oriented minigame project with developer-maintained documentation.

🎮 Gameplay

The core gameplay alternates between a preparation/build phase and an attack phase. Survivors gather resources, craft basic supplies, and construct defenses during the build phase. After a timed event called the Plague, some players become monsters and both sides compete to control map shrines. Play emphasizes cooperative defense for survivors and coordinated assaults for monster players.

⚔️ Game Modes

🪓 Dwarves vs Zombies (main)

A team-based PvE minigame where one side starts as survivors who must prepare defenses and hold multiple shrines. As the match progresses, monsters spawn in waves (including special and boss waves) and attempt to capture shrines; if all shrines fall or survivors are eliminated, the match ends.

✨ Features

• Structured build/preparation phase and a follow-up combat phase.
• Wave-based monsters with periodic "super waves" and boss-style enemies.
• Shrine objectives that determine match flow and victory conditions.
• Resource-gathering and crafting during the build phase (gold, gravel, torches, mortar, etc.).
• Simple utility items mentioned in the guides (for example, a compass to help navigation).

🔌 Connection Notes

• The server is documented to run on Minecraft version 1.21.1 (also listed as 1.21). Make sure your client matches the server version.

🧭 Who Should Play Here

• Players who enjoy team-based PvE encounters and cooperative minigames.
• Builders who like short, tactical construction phases that impact combat.
• People looking for structured, round-based matches with clear objectives rather than open-world survival.

🤙 Friend Tip

If you're new to the mode, read the survivor guide on the server wiki before joining a match — it explains the build priorities (gold, gravel, torches, mortar) and what to expect when plague and wave timers arrive.
