We are proud to offer you a fully creative building environment! Nearly every block will be available in infinite amounts, so you are free to build as amazing as you can! The server features a 3000x3000+ map designed by hand in WorldPainter to be optimal for building. Various building tools such as VoxelSniper and WorldEdit will become available to those who distinguish themselves as fantastic builders. Think you can live up to expectation?
Ever wanted to go build on the VoxelBox but found yourself waiting in lines? We're not going to deny it, we love how that server is set up and strove to emulate many features. However, there are some things we don't like about it; specifically, it's too restrictive on people being able to enjoy it. That's why we're here. Our goal is to let everyone have a quality creative build environment, not just the top staff and select few friends. And, we're throwing a few games of our own!
We are proud to offer you a great all-around SMP experience! The server is a survival freebuild, meaning there are no restrictions to where you can build. All players will gather their own materials while fighting off mobs, which means that each construction carries that much more value! We do feature several Bukkit mods that only serve to enhance the gameplay of what SMP was meant to be.
Note: This server is going to be more or less phased out as it's very old and dated. We work hard to provide fresh content for players here at MCSteamed. This server will still be up until an as-of-yet undecided time, but support may be limited as the creative is becoming the "Main" server.
These servers are run on a Hetzner dedicated server located in Germany. It has 12gb RAM (more than enough for the 8gb max that Java, and thus Minecraft, supports) and an i7 2.8GHz processor, so this server can handle near anything we throw at it! We are lag-free at any number of players, up to 64 (that's all we've tested), and periodic restarts keep the server running smooth. The map is pre-generated and running on a RAMDisk to make the server that much faster. The server software itself is Bukkit and is usually updated and recent as soon as a stable RB is out.
About Ranks:
The creative server will have two tracks of ranks; builder ranks and staff ranks. Each is independent of each other; you can have people who are the highest staff and are the lowest builder because they can't figure out the difference between bricks and dirt. To advance through build ranks, one must construct multiple very impressive builds. To advance through staff ranks, one must show maturity and a tendency to be social to everyone. The ranks are displayed in chart below (in order):
Build Ranks
Builder
Mason
Designer
Staff Ranks
Moderator
Admin
Developer
Host
The survival freebuild server runs with a single rank heirarchy. These ranks are determined solely by maturity and trustedness, even if their names may suggest otherwise. These ranks are listed below in order:
Builder
Trusted Builder
Architect
Donor
Moderator
Admin
Super Admin
Host
About the Staff:
We take pride in the fact that we have some of the best staff around. We hold our staff to the highest standards of administration; they'll be able to handle issues and help you in nearly all cases. The core admin team is made up of dysgalt, ylt, and kaiser_czar, all of whom have played Minecraft since mid 2009 (very soon after it first came out) and have run servers for the vast majority of that time. And, perhaps most importantly, the staff is there to play just like you, and thus we can relate! None of that "staff-is-above-builder" junk attitude, we're here to make sure you have a great time! You can view our full staff list on the wiki here.
Rules:
Thou shalt not grief. Griefing is defined as: Breaking, stealing from, or building on another person's work without permission.
Thou shalt not troll. An occasional joke is ok, but be wary of the limits.
Thou shalt respect other players. Especially the staff; they're there to help you, don't make their job harder.
Thou shalt not use client mods on the survival freebuild. There are a few exceptions to this; things like Optimine/Optifog are fine. MCPatcher for texture packs is fine. Other things that do strictly graphical updates (besides that absurd X-Ray) are in general fine. If you want to know about a specific mod, ask kaiser_czar, ylt, or dysgalt. Creative server: Client mods are fine; in fact, we encourage flying, better chat, etc. In time, we may perhaps come up with an official collection of client mods for MCSteamed; for now, you're on your own. The server has a server-side flying plugin, but the client versions work better.
Thou shalt not spam chat or speak vulgarities to another player. Cursing is fine if used in moderation; cursing AT another player is never ok. "Chat Spam" is organically defined; you will be warned your first offense.
Thou shalt not insult another person's religious, political, or any-other affiliation. Mature discussions and arguments are ok, but do not let it get out of hand.
Thou shalt not advertise any other server besides an officially recognized MCSteamed server or partner. (Want to join up with us? Come discuss it on IRC.)
Thou shalt not break your local or any international laws. This includes linking to copyrighted materials.
While we highly recommend against giving out personal information, we will not stop you if you wish to disclose any. If someone does not want to tell about themselves, do not ask further. We will not stand for that.
If you enjoy our server, make it a habit of voting every day on Minestatus. In addition, check out this topic and make sure it stays high; do not overtly bump though, post real content. Bookmark both of those pages! In addition, see other things you can do here: Help Page
Donating:
You are not obligated to donate! However, the server does cost money, and the benefits are nice. In order to acquire the donator rank (on the survival freebuild server), you must donate at least $5 USD. All donors get the same benefits, and the donor rank is permanent! None of that pay-every-month junk. For more info, go here. In order to donate, go to this link: DONATION
Donating is non-refundable. Donors are not above the rules, do not test this. In order to donate, you must have legal access to the funds. Donation is done through PayPal only. Donations do not go to personal benefit, they go only to the running of the server.
After you donate, forward the donation receipt email from PayPal to [email protected]. The entire email is preferable for record-keeping purposes.

Art:
Obviously not much yet. I (kaiser_czar) am not an artist, but I threw this together quickly. We would LOVE to see some artists!
Oohh I've been looking for a new server!! Hetzner wow, those are nice specs. One question: do I have to do something to get build permissions first by registering on your forums or something?

No sir, you don't. We fully believe in people being able to join and play right away! That said, we highly recommend registering, as that's where we put news.
I've been on this server basically ever since I bought minecraft at the start of this year. It was probably the 20th server that I joined and the best by far. I love this server to death and the community that drives it is amazing! I will never even contemplate leaving this server as long as I live and/or am able to use a keyboard and mouse.
Cellodude22, I look forward to seeing you on the server! I really hope join the ranks of this amazing MCSteamed community and become a regular :smile.gif:
I.. I.. just love this server. I remember my first time I was here. btw, If you want to know where I came from and since joined, just click here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/149302-official-minecraft-steam-group-server/ Miclee ahs started the topic and I just clicked on and I posted a comment. I will never leave this server forever. And I try to visit new servers, but I dislike it.
THANKS TO YLT AND DYSGALT FOR KEEPING THIS SERVER!!!! /capslock
In total donations: $20 (I don't remember the date) and $15 On July.
Kaiser, Karma, hahapwn'd, DoubleS, leftawake, y.lt, dysgalt, woder (and more) I like yous!
Have a Nice Day! :-) :SSSS::tnt:
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
MagicLauncher is the best launcher I ever used! Hoping the developer would update for 1.13.x and 1.14.x
Ah, its great to see that this server has thread now because it is just epic. I have been playing here since it started out as the D3 community SMP and everything about it is awesome; the admins(whom some I have been friends with for over a year) the giant build projects(from contests to cities) and especially the community that has built around it :smile.gif: .
