Since version 1.14 of the game, players can choose to play as one of a number of different classes with tied in buffs and debuffs.

How to choose a class

After joining a new world the player enters the Character Creation screen, where the player can choose one of 5 classes. Alternatively the player can run the .charsel command to enter the Charater Creation screen again, but only once! In case you need to reselect 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.
