The WesterosCraft website contains several tools for tracking projects and accessing information. It's useful to keep the following website pages bookmarked or know where to quickly access them on the website, as you will reference them frequently throughout your time as a WesterosCraft builder.
Discord
Discord is WesterosCraft's primary communication hub for real-time coordination, questions, and community interaction. Be sure to read the rules and info in our Discord.
Every project has a forum thread documenting its entire lifecycle - application, approvals, updates, Mini Build announcements, and post-approval review. You can find them under the 'Building' category in Discord.
Uses:
- Project leaders coordinate work and announce available plots
- Wardens record official approvals
- Plots, mini builds and specials are advertised and claimed
- Project history is maintained
Reading project threads before applying for your own Canon Project shows you what makes strong applications and how experienced builders handled challenges.
Projects Page
The Projects page is the authoritative database of most projects on WesterosCraft. It tracks project status, leadership, progress, history of the build, images and more. Every project you can apply for is listed here.
Each project listing includes current status, project leaders if any are assigned, and multiple filters for categorization. Projects are organized by region and filterable by status and type.
Common uses:
- Finding projects in progress that might need help or builder feedback (filter the project status to "In Progress")
- Researching regional styles before applying for a Canon Project that's available (filter the project status to "Not Started" or "Available")
- Checking who leads a specific location
- Understanding overall server progress and what's still available
Before asking "what can I build?" in Discord, check the Projects page to see what's active in regions you're interested in. It's also good to read up on old project lore.
Backend Portal
The website has a builders-only sign-up page where you can enter your email and your Minecraft username. Once verified by an admin, you will get your own account where project leaders can manage their own projects including editing the project, its wiki and maintaining project notes. This gives you direct control over your project's documentation without requiring admin intervention.
Documentation
The project Documentation page (where you are reading this guide on!) contains all WesterosCraft processes organized in a deliberate way to guide any builder or applicant smoothly through any onboarding they may need for the project. This includes application processes, project management guides, building standards, regional style guides, and role-specific documentation.
While documentation takes many forms such as written here on the site, stickied in Discord, or in-game - the documentation on this site, as detailed here, is the source-of-truth for processes detailing how we build Westeros.
Use it to reference processes before taking action. Read application guides before applying, check project management docs before leading projects, review leadership guides for role-specific responsibilities. Documentation is updated as processes evolve.
DynMap (Live Map)
Our map is a real-time, interactive web map showing the entire WesterosCraft world from above, powered by the mod DynMap. It updates as building happens and displays player locations, warp points, regional boundaries, and our built structures. It displays other maps we built for the project besides Westeros, including a plot world called Plotworld and Repository world to store assets and guides.
Common uses:
- Exploring the map without logging in
- Understanding how neighboring projects connect
- Getting coordinates for specific locations (right-click on the map)
- Planning infrastructure and terrain coordination by screenshotting and annotatig the map
