Slipknot founder Shawn “Clown” Crahan can add “Minecraft builder” to his resume, as the metal percussionist has announced the launch of his own Minecraft server/realm, Vernearth.
“More than a typical Minecraft server, Vernearth presents a surreal landscape built from over 100 million blocks,” reads the description for the trailer, which can be seen below. “Its shifting terrain is home to mysterious guardians known as Mind Stewards, along with hidden paths and secrets to uncover.”
The trailer shows off some of Clown’s creations, including a vast psychedelic space world, lush castle-scapes, lava dungeons, and much more. According to Slipknot’s website, Clown has been “further delving into the world of gaming and development,” and he looks to have some talent in the field based on the impressive Minecraft environments he created for Vernearth.
The server’s press release reads as follows: “Built on custom technology, handcrafted environments, and a play philosophy that rewards mastery across survival, PVP, creativity, and hardcore challenges, Vernearth launches with four major game modes: Oblivion, PVP/Event, Plotworld, and Challenge Mode. Together they form a unified ecosystem that supports every type of player. These modes will be rolled out starting at launch systematically to ensure a smooth player experience, so some of these modes may not be available right away. Explorers and builders to streamers, competitors, and high-stakes achievers will all have something innovative to experience in Vernearth.”
Meanwhile, Vernearth’s Season Mode “evolves from the blood-red, Heretic-Lord–ruled chaos of Season 1: The Heretic Anthem, to the twilight-shrouded decay of Season 2: The Dying Song where players fight to forge the Beacon of Life, and finally into the unpredictable madness of Season 3: Friend or Foe?, a world where mobs, loot, blocks, and consumables shift with total randomness. Survivors earn permanent titles, exclusive cosmetics, Hall of Heroes placement, and a share of the prize pool.”
The server can be accessed using Minecraft Java Client 1.21.4 via this realm link. For more community info, access the official Discord channel.
