# MERC-Front
\nMERC-Front is a community-run, third-party modpack built around BlockFront. It is designed for structured multiplayer gameplay, custom-built maps, and organized events, rather than traditional Minecraft survival or progression-based gameplay. Gameplay focuses on FPS-style, match-based combat with class-based loadouts and objective-driven game modes. The modpack supports a wide range of themes, from historical settings (including WWII) to sci-fi and experimental environments, depending on the maps and events being hosted.<\/p>\n
## What This Modpack Is For<\/p>\n
### \u2714 Designed for
\n– Multiplayer match-based gameplay
\n– Custom maps with diverse themes
\n– Community-run servers and creative map building
\n– Organized matches and testing environments<\/p>\n
### \u2716 Not designed for
\n– Survival playthroughs
\n– Vanilla-style progression<\/p>\n
Many items do not have crafting recipes, making survival gameplay impractical and unsupported.<\/p>\n
## Servers and Matchmaking<\/p>\n
### Core Gameplay<\/p>\n
MERC-Front adds FPS-style combat mechanics and structured multiplayer gameplay inspired by round-based shooters.<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f Matchmaking has to be set up manually on a server and is not available in single-player mode. As an alternative, you can play on the official servers. If you want to set up your own server, it is recommended that you use this mod list MERC-Front Server Side Mods instead of the modpack, although the modpack is also compatible.<\/p>\n
### Game Modes<\/p>\n
The modpack supports multiple multiplayer game modes, including:<\/p>\n
– Domination
\n– Conquest
\n– Free For All
\n– Team Deathmatch

\n– **_Specialist Class coming soon!_**<\/p>\n
### Maps<\/p>\n
Currently there are over 24 playable maps each with its own layout and theme, with more on the way.<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f These maps can only be accessed via the official servers and are not included in the modpack.<\/p>\n
### Current state

There is no always-online public matchmaking server until 18.4.2026 19:00.<\/p>\n

### Powered by BlockFront
\nThis modpack is powered by BlockFront, a Minecraft mod that provides the core systems for FPS-style, match-based gameplay. If you are looking for the official BlockFront experience, including their servers and matchmaking outside of MERC Front events, please refer directly to the BlockFront project page and their official community channels.
\nMERC Front operates independently and does not replace or represent the official BlockFront servers.<\/p>\n
