Seraphs of different classes.

Since version 1.14 of the game, players can choose to play as one of a number of different classes at the start of a new world, each with tied in buffs, debuffs, and some with exclusive crafting recipes.

How to choose a class

After joining a new world the player enters the Character Creation screen, where the player can choose one of 6 classes. Alternatively the player can run the .charsel command to enter the Character Creation screen again, but only once! In case you need to re-select your class on a multiplayer server, get in touch with the server admin and ask them to run the /player [name] allowcharselonce command for you, after which you will be able to use the mentioned command.

Classes and Traits

As of 1.16.5, the following classes are available:
