Slipknot co-founder and creative visionary M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan has officially announced Vernearth, an expansive Minecraft universe built to merge survival gameplay, creative building, PVP competition, and high-stakes seasonal challenges. Crafted with custom tech, bespoke environments, and a philosophy centered on mastery and community, Vernearth launches with four primary modes that will roll out in stages:

Oblivion – The Core World:

A massive survival realm blending realism with corrupted, clown-inspired elements. Players explore treacherous landscapes, battle custom factions, and uncover the mysteries behind three major capital cities: Raziel, Seniomsed, and The City of Eternal.

PVP / Event Server – The Arena:

Built for competitive players and creators, this server features rotating tournaments and battles across four unique arenas—The Circle Sphere, The Blood Square, The Blood Oval, and UnEden—with modes like Last Man Standing and Duels. Winners earn “War” currency for exclusive cosmetics.

Plotworld – The Sanctuary:

A collaborative creative mode where players can build freely, merge plots, participate in monthly contests, and showcase work in the permanent Hall of Fame.

Challenge Mode – Vernearth’s Signature Hardcore Experience:

A seasonal, one-life-only survival world with Slipknot-inspired themes.

Seasons include:

  • The Heretic Anthem — blood-red chaos ruled by a Heretic Lord
  • The Dying Song — a decaying twilight realm
  • Friend or Foe? — a fully randomized world with unpredictable mobs, loot, and mechanics

Survivors earn exclusive cosmetics, titles, Hall of Heroes recognition, and a portion of the prize pool.
