Fool's Gold is a Minecraft Server based on the Gold Rush; find your fortune, make a settlement, trade with the residents of the towns or lose it all trying in this mean, gritty world.

It is the late 1800's, and Aurum (which is not dissimilar to California at the time of the Gold Rush) is the land where you arrive. Unlike in our Universe, the Gold Rush was successful in Aurum - massive companies have developed from mass gold exports, bandit factions have been made to profit and prey on travelers, and miners still swarm west to try and get a sweet taste of Gold. You arrive in the land of Aurum where you try to make your fortune, mining for gold to see if you can taste success like the lucky few before you, and making a fortune in the unforgiving land.

"If he go prepared to throw off his coat, fare rudely, work heartily, sleep soundly, and rise reasonably, he will likely thrive there,

Go west, young man, and grow up with the Country."

-Horace Greely (1837)
