Have you wonder how living in the wilderness is like? And how adventuring with your friends feels like? In short, FrontierCraft is the answer. In full terms, it is desribed below.
Spoiler:
FrontierCraft is a server focused on Role Playing, Adventuring, PVP, and Surviving, as a group. Upon joining, you will become a Pioneer who has to survive in a hostile environment with few supplies. Similar to vanilla Minecraft survival mode, you ought to get your own materials and to build your own home while fighting against ferocious hostile creatures. However, things are different in FrontierCraft. Each Pioneer has his own job, and only he himself can do those specific tasks. This makes surviving not easy. In order to survive, all Pioneers have to trade with each other for supplies.
FrontierCraft is about cooperating and creativity. Almost no one can survive on his own. A Pioneer has to form trust, friendship, and social connections in order to survive. Because a Pioneer will find his home town the safest place. He will find is neighbors the most valuable companions during his journey, and his friends the toughest armor. He will find his intelligence the most valuable tool, and braveness the sharpest weapon. He will continuously be challenged by puzzles, traps, horde monsters, and by other Pioneers. A Pioneer can choose to conquer various treasures in every ancient buildings, or to create your own town, become a respected mayor, and live a quiet life. Generally, FrontierCraft is the place for people who want to have real challenges, not a place for the weaklings.
So why FrontierCraft and not any other Economy servers nor RolePlay servers? Why should you choose FrontierCraft over other PVP or Hunger Game servers? There are several reasons.
Spoiler:
First, FrontierCraft provides you a combination of unique features which's goal is to put you in an adventurous world where what you can do are limited only by your imagination. It offers you a certain degree of realism but at the same time the fun of survival that cannot be achieved in real life.
Second, it is a well-managed and well-configured server. Have you joined a very large server where what you say are constantly ignored by the overwhelming majority? Have you joined a server where ignorant Admins will not try to fix a bug or a badly-configured gameplay aspect? Have you ever found yourself needing information and ended up in vain asking for help but with no reply? If you have been on those types of servers, then you can imagine FrontierCraft to be the opposite. Or at least, it is trying to be the complete opposite of those severs.
Third, in FrontierCraft, you won't find yourself outstripped by 'moneyed players'. The server will not offer superior advantages like daily money or hourly diamond armors to players who donate to the server. Donators will get some advantages, but things will not be grossly unfair. You can be assured that no newbie 'moneyed player' can surpass you, and that the time you invest in the server will be worthy.

Before joining, you must satisfy a few
Requirements:
Spoiler:
Use server texture pack - Warning: things may look amazing!
To show that I, the owner, care for the players, I spent many hours choosing one of the best texture pack available, adding guns texture in, updating it to the most recent minecraft version, and adding a few enhancements into it. Download Mediafire. Dropbox.
User one of server mod combinations: shader or non-shader - It will decrease lag, put in richer sounds, music, and make things look awesomely good.
Similarly to the texture pack, finest mods were chose and put into easy-to-install packs. Watch this video if you need help installing. Link. Or follow the steps below. Even if you chose the video, you still have to do step 6 manually.
3. Extract "minecraft folder.zip" to ".minecraft" folder.
4. Open "minecraft.jar" in "bin" folder with Winrar or Winzip, delete "META-INF"
5. Copy the contents of Shader or Standard version and paste into "minecraft.jar"
6. While in game, press F7 and go to Page 2. Turn on the Music Expansion volume to 100%.

Spoiler:
Due to a severe error occurred on the server provider side, the server is currently not open to public. Once the issue is resolved, the server will open ASAP.
I know young men and young ladies in the minecraft forum are overqualified to join the server, so feel free to start discussing, making friends, and forming teams
Server is located in LA, California. The server timezone is GMT -8, so you will achieve best ping if you live in America or Canada.

I'm sorry to announce that you are not qualified for the Moderator position. Both of your posts proved you lacked inspiration and organization, which are really important for a Moderator.
IGN: Tabbius
Age: 15
Understanding of Bukkit plugins: 6 (Know many commands, can configure a few fairly well)
Position and why: Builder- This server looks pretty unique in terms of what is built so far, and I feel I could make a good contribution to the world of Fronteircraft. I love to make puzzles and what you have written for the builder application appears to be just that. I have a good understanding of minecraft mechanics and can be very creative.
Do you think you would qualify, why: I have built some puzzles and traps on creative servers before, though I have never done any for a full-scale roleplay server such as this one. I realize someone with more experience could potentially have more to bring to the server, but for what I lack in experience I have in creativity and hard work.
A little about yourself: I am a cat person, and I enjoy making up meaningless statistics and details.
Contact info: in PM if accepted
Dedicated Time: 1-2 hours a day at least
Thanks for considering my app!
Congrats! You are accepted.
You won't be working much with redstone and pistons though. This plugin, VariableTriggers, will be the core of most of the puzzles and mechanisms you build. What you can do with it is really limitless.
For those who already downloaded and installed the mods, please remember to hit F7 in-game, go to page 2, and turn the volume of MSI Music Expansion to 100%, otherwise you will not be able to hear very nice adventurous music. Sorry, I made a mistake on this!
