"A rare or unique person or thing."
The Rara Avis Expanse is a newly updated 1.9.4 Vanilla survival server inspired by early Mindcrack as well as Hermitcraft. As this is an amplified map, and is still in its infancy and still very much a blank canvas. The map also includes a 4,000 by 4,000 world border with all biomes included inside. This border will be removed when the Ender Dragon is killed and 1.10 is released. This is to ensure that during the beginning, all of the community stays together. The goal here is to bring together players who long for a server to call home, into an active community of like-minded people who can work together, as well as do their own thing. The server communicates via Discord. If you do not have a Discord account please create one before you post an application, or your application will not be considered. We also do a lot of voice chat to communicate in game. So keep that in mind.
Though we began entirely as a vanilla server, a few plugins have been Implemented this time around:
QuickShops (with iConomy)
One Player Sleep
Craftable Elytra
CoreProtect
We have 10 or so active members at the moment, but we're looking to add just 10 more players. There's a simple application below to fill out, but don't rush through it. Just have fun and put some personality into it to make it stand out. At the same time, applications utilizing comic sans, rainbow colors, and/or sparkles/glitter will not be considered. You might think we're kidding. But we're not kidding. ahem...
Server Guidelines and Rules:
1) Intentional or malicious griefing will almost certainly result in an automatic ban. Don't be that guy. Pranking is totally fine as long as you help clean up whatever shenanigans you've unleashed if asked, but don't destroy what isn't yours.
2) This being a community based server, stealing won't be tolerated. Don't take items that aren't yours. Don't go through chests without permission. Etc. Etc. If you need food in a pinch, there's shops at spawn to buy food with our ingame currency. Or you can always ask someone.
3) PVP is allowed in circumstances (i.e. Head Games), but don't be a jerk. (No bed killing, etc.) If someone asks you to stop, then stop.
4) Try and respect and maintain the terrain in populated areas. For instance, don't chop down entire forests near other people's areas, don't leave half cut down trees, etc. etc. Basically common sense sort of stuff.
5) Fun Fact you should know: Your Discord tag number is located on bottom left corner of the screen by the player icon, or in your Discord profile.
6) No unnecessary drama. Seriously. We're all playful and joking types, so don't take things too seriously. If you're having a problem with someone, hash it out privately. Don't clog the Discord feed with it.

Hello, before I waste your time and fill out an application, can I logon to see if my laptop can handle an extreme biomes server? Interested but not sure if i can handle it.
Thanks.
As Storm (Beanie) suggested, I'd also recommend testing on a single player amplified world, Owenie.
1. How long have you played Minecraft, and what is your favorite part about it?
I have been playing Minecraft for about over year. But it's curious how some people are so confused with it being a block game. I still keep playing it because I am fond of sandbox games. I can stretch my creativity and change things to make them better as I please, just as in real life.
2. What interested you in wanting to join the Rara Avis Expanse server?:
The server's name is quite catchy, to be honest. But as you have said on the description, it being a canvass, I want so much to be one of the "painters". I miss being part of a group or a minecraft family.
3. What type of player would you consider yourself? (Builder, Redstoner, Explorer, PVP, etc.)
I would consider myself as a general builder and an adept explorer. I fare well in PVP, but winning may not be guaranteed. Lol.
4. What one word would you use to describe yourself as a person?
Malleable.
5. Have you played on a small survival server before? If so, describe your experience:
Yes, I did. We built a small town center where commercial buildings were placed. We had a common transportation system and a nether hub for ease of access to our respective homes. Events were made regularly in order to keep the members in common areas and forge good relationships. Sometimes roleplays have been made to keep things interesting. And some pranks and friendly PVP.
6. Have you ever been banned from a small survival server? If so, why:
No, I have not. My relationships to previous servers I have played in and its members have been really good.
7. So let's say you're accepted. You get on the server, do some mining, and end up building a house or a small starter base. What now?
Perhaps help build a town center. I usually prefer medieval type of buildings. I just have a thing for them. And of course, play with other members of the group, make friends, and contribute to making the server world a place to be.
I hope you will consider my application. I look forward to your positive response. Cheers!
I'll be contacting you shortly, Ken! Currently dealing with server host issues, hopefully they're dealt with quickly.

I'm sorry Admin, but I don't think this is the server for you. But good luck finding a server!

Is it because I was banned?
