Welcome to Turnelcraft!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No more applications for the time being please.

We are featuring 1.4.4 now - and did not reset the world. We are still 100% Vanilla with one deviation: I made a mod to un-nerf fire so we now have a 1.4.4 server that has fire spread like in 12w39a or minecraft beta 1.5 for that matter - Ye have been warned! As of right now this mod is unreleased, but I might release it if people are interested in it (PM me about it). This is really more of a fix for an oversight on Mojang's end rather than a mod, but oh well.

..... And we got 1-4 more Slots for people that are interested in sticking around for the long haul!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are providing a mindcrack-like experience, with the following feats:

Gametype: Survival
Semi-Vanilla. This means that there ARE plugins, but they are only for backups and such, so you'll never even see theyre there, giving you the full vanilla minecraft experience
Server located in Europe
Players are required to act mature and be 18+
Whitelisting required
PVP enabled
Running on a dedicated server (meaning: no v-server), thus available 24/7 ("99.9%")

The server specs are as follows: Core i7 2600, 16GB of memory, 1GBit/s internet connection, professional hosting environment.

Knowing/following the mindcrack guys is a plus for being on this server, but by no means a requirement (but we talk about them quite a bit, so...). Depending on people's interests, there may also be UHC matches and coop attempts on Super Hostile maps.


The rules are:

- THE RULE: Use common sense

- no griefing; meaningful (filling someones house with obsidian = bad/boring) pranks are allowed (Mindcrack pranking rules apply: no lava, no fire, no TNT, no destroying the victim's bed). Also see THE RULE
- no cheating (xray / transparant texture packs and so on) Note: xray machines are not cheating.
- no stealing
- no racism
- no insulting people



To apply, please fill out the following form:

[1] In Game Name:
[2] Age:
[3] How long have you been playing Minecraft?
[4] Why do you want to join?
[5] Describe a previous build (Pictures help) / Whats your aptitude:
[6] What do you plan to build on the Server?
[7] Do you agree with the rules?

If you have any questions, ask away.

If you are curious about the name: 'Turnel' is a term coined by Guude during OOGE in Kaizö Caverns, when he meant tunnel. Since theres an abundance of tunnels on our server, it seemed very fitting. (I spent 5 hours in an abandoned mineshaft and I ended up with having the coordinates of 15 distinct spawners in my notes...)

After a horribly busy day I sat down with my trusty council (Yes, 2 people can be a full blown council, shut up!) and the results were.. well rather underwhelming. weve seen people not being truthfully about their age and people that did not appear to be a match for our nice atmosphere... so long story short, we have decided to only accept the following people:
runinrabit (accepted yesterday), knoxlostname, skooterz.
If it works out with you guys, we should be set for players for the time being *crossfingers*
