About the ServerThe ProtoTech Server is a server made to focus on the technical aspects of minecraft. We will focus on creating new designs for mechanisms such as farms and other redstone devices and implementing them in our survival world. This server will be very similar to the ZipKrowd server, or at least hold the same theme. It is important that you are well educated when it comes to game mechanics and redstone if you plan on joining this server. There will also be a creative test server where any member can test new designs. The server will run on stable releases and avoid snapshots and pre-releases due to bugs and lag issues.1.8 is still a young update and there are plenty of new designs to come up with. Builds will be mostly team oriented and done as a community. If you are planning on going off and making a base on your own, then this is not the server for you. We will all work together to reach our final goals, whatever they shall be.
Server & Map DetailsThe server will run on 3GBs of Ram while the Test will run on .5 GBs of Ram. It will have daily backups and restarts as well as 24/7 support. The seed being used on the server has been decided due to the criteria it met. This criteria is important for what we want to achieve on the server.*- Quad Witch Huts, Quad Nether Fortress Intersection, Mooshroom Biome, Mesa, Ice Spikes Biome, Small spawn Island, Guardian Temple.The server has been up and running for only 2 days as of this post, so there is still plenty to do before we get started on some big builds. There is also a Skype Group chat for the server which is used to keep all members on base with what is happening on the server.
Our Seed:
Rules-Don't grief the server. Please.-Be Older than 16. Sorry children.-BE ACTIVE! Don't apply to the server, play for a few days and then leave. If you are applying, please be in it for the long run.
VideosWe are planning on doing occasional tours of the server for our big builds. So lets plays or anything of that sort will be fine, however, if you are making one, please try not to spoil anything. Other than that, making videos would be a great way to gain some attention on the server.
Also, if you do not have a Skype account, Please make one. It is very important for everyone on the server to communicate on plans and future projects. We will have a group chat for all members.
ApplicationIf you are applying for the server, then you know that these types of servers are hard to come across here on the forums. Please put your best effort into it and be truthful. Avoid one word answers if you can. I'd prefer a small paragraph for each if possible. If you're going to play on the server, I'm gonna have to get to know you a bit.

You don't have to follow this application exactly. You can make a video or presentation of pictures if you want. These are just some of the things I'd like to know. If you are not going to attempt to impress me with your application, then please don't waste my time. If you don't have any pictures or videos of your builds, chances are you will not be accepted. Since this is a Technical server, I would hope that you have some experience with farms and or redstone and have made something using these before. If you have any questions, feel free to include them with your application. If you don't receive a message from me within 2 days of submitting your application, please consider it a denial. The server is going to be a great time and will be really amazing to play on. Good luck applying.
Where are you from? What Time Zone?: Central Timezone
How long have you been playing Minecraft?: 2 years, I think
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: Surviving and Thriving, it's a game I've been playing for quite sometime, I think I can say I'm familiar with almost all aspects of the game. Especially Iron farms.
What part of minecraft interests you the most?: Researching and producing new ways to break the game, reinvent the old ways of farming. modding and moderating is also an admirable aspect.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?: Yes, it was run by a Canadian named TP or something, and some parts of servers I've hosted have some people you'd like
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos): I helped this guy with a witch farm once http://imgur.com/a/fbVDa , I also built a "few" iron farms, all of docm's design, I think the numbers around 17 now.
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: I might build an iron farm that has a complex way of gathering golems, other than that I may come on occasionally to help
Do you have a mic?: Nope
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: Nope
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: Promotion is probably my best ability since I have another server to moderate
Where are you from? What Time Zone?:western Canada, mst(-7)
How long have you been playing Minecraft?:since beta 1.6ish
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?:I am decent with redstone, good at building exteriors, and gathering materials
What part of minecraft interests you the most?:I really enjoy grinding (ie. clearing large areas, gathering supplies, etc.)
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?:no but I do mega projects most of the time.
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos): imgur.com/a/BNM7c (witch farm and an old base of mine)

Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?:No but I'm open to it
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?:Working on group projects/ being active on the server
How long have you been playing Minecraft?: Since around the official release.
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: I'm a very technical player; I love working with the most complicated aspects of the game at all levels. The sheer amount of awesomeness and fun that can be had when working with the game is really cool, and being able to experiment with that with people who have the same interests as myself is a great thing. I'm also not the worst builder, but I can become much better.
What part of Minecraft interests you the most?: The technical side. It's really awesome to work with, and in my opinion is the most interesting.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?: I have before, but the server closed down due to inactivity.
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos):
The first one is a 2x2 Spruce farm I've been working on.
The 2nd is early progress in the creation of my base on the last server.
The 3rd is the enderman farm on my Singleplayer world.
The 4th is me at my Witch hut perimeter (Yes, I got the levels from the ender ender)
The 5th is another base I made on the same server.
The 6th is a storage room that I plan to use on the server and in my SSP.
The last is a showcase of my current building skills.
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: All the time on weekends, and sparingly on the weekdays. I'll be a quite active member.
Do you have a mic?: I do.
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: I do, in the future. Not at the moment though.
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: I'm a big helper. I don't prefer doing projects alone, because after playing in singleplayer for such a long period of time, having some fun with others could be nice. I usually finish projects quite fast, so working with people who do the same would be very fun. I also have some experience as a server administrator, so I could help out in that field. I will try the best that I can to get the server on the map if we get to a point where we have a very nice area, and I'll help with that. I have no problem with taking the lead on projects or being a follower. And I know a lot about the game itself and the way it works, as I do work in coding as a side hobby.
Thank you for considering my application, and I hope you'll accept me.

What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: My best skills in minecraft are redstone mechanics specifically the physical part of moving items and pushing blocks and that sort of thing (I include more in the question below because my skills are also my interests and I consider it a learning field so its less about what I know and more about what I can discover)
What part of minecraft interests you the most?:
Hello TheAnimos and community (I'm assuming this application needs to be approved by all members but if not.....ok). I can easily say that my biggest interest in minecraft is redstone. Of course this is a very wide range of things so Ill narrow that down to mechanical redstone. I do a lot of physical things like auto brewers and storage systems that are completely unique and use new ideas that I feel stupid enough to try to work out (and normally succeed). My redstone/game mechanic downfalls are villagers and villages but other than that I feel I am very strong.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?:
Haha yes I was actually on witch craft (I am aware your familiar with this) but (confession) I was banned. The reason I was banned is because I was too annoying. And I can confirm this. Rereading my posts and such I was far to annoying to be on the server at the beginning or witchcraft but I have come a long way and mentally overcome my struggles with being mature. By no means you need to take my word for this but I hope you believe me. Before I applied to this server I actually sent PT a message asking to rejoin the server and trying to show how far I have come on the maturity level. Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos):
This is the last version of my auto brewer so I skip some stuff on how it works but I am sure you will be able to figure it out no problem and as for the problem that I identified for like 10 minutes you can solve that by putting a hopper and chest below the imput chest so that items flow into the imput chest at a constant rate (really basic fix)
I also try to explain things and display my understanding of game mechanics and redstone (some of this was over a year ago but in all of them I try my best to explain how these some mechanics work on a basic level)
and my most recent project is a storage system that brings chests to you as opposed to u going to the chests (kind of stupid and inefficient but fun at the same time)
I am uploaded the images as attachments for this project including the redstone of how i did it.
I also figured out how to make a enderdragon xp farm in 1.3 (before the new way that the game loads chunks) but I dont have any screenshots of that. How often do you plan on playing on the server?: I will try to play at least 2 hours every day but sometimes I wont be able to make it but I will spend a lot of time on weekends normally Do you have a mic?: I have a mic and I have a skype (bbeezx)
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: I might record a little bit, if we come up with new stuff I would be happy to record tutorials if I am allowed to. I may also give a server tour every once in a while but no spoilers of course!
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: By doing what is asked of me, i figure that is the best way to help the server. I can also come up with how to do something (if you need any help) and it doesn't involve villagers. I am kind of cocky but I think I can figure out anything that has to do with the mechanical section of minecraft redstone.
How long have you been playing Minecraft?: Since beta 1.6
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: I think I have a good mix of building nice looking structures (I'm an architect by profession) and technical builds. I like to switch back and forth between building nice-looking, high quality structures and detailed redstone builds. I also like trying to innovate a bit and build something in a way I've not seen them done.
What part of minecraft interests you the most?: I tend to enjoy building more gothic and ye olde world styles (castles, and what not), but am open to any style. I also really enjoying working with others to build big, complex structures. To keep the game interesting, I like to have a good number of ongoing builds that I can switch back and forth between working on aesthetics vs. fun redstone automation.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?: I've played on a number of servers (less than 10 long-term, as I tend to stick around until they shut down or they are not whitelisted and experience a lot of griefing once they are popular). I am currently playing on a private server where we are getting into some large, complex farms and redstone builds, but I got in kind of late and a lot of the work is already done. Plus, they aren't really open to mixing or blending styles and want things built in a very specific way (think making everything everwhere flat...a LOT of grinding to take down large hills; I like blending complex things in the terrain if possible).
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos):
Here is a hidden base entry redstone tutorial I just finished yesterday -
This is a playlist for an LP series I have going - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8vbJWFtBz2r01vWqfZw_8JYCDDziXwd6
I've also attached some images. Some are of my little house on an island, one is a clock tower I just finished as part of a castle build, and some others are part of a 4-plaform Iron Golem Farm and large smelter.
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: I tend to play on servers several times a week, and a good bit on weekends. One of the servers I am playing on is shutting down, so I can easily transition to this server with the same amount of time and effort. I'd probably put in a bit more effort on this one since I'd like to start an LP series on a server.
Do you have a mic?: Yes, a blue snowball.
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: Yes, if it is okay with others; i finally have a pretty complete recording setup.
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: That'll depend a bit on what others want to do. I am very much a team player and enjoy building and working with others. I don't enjoy just going off and building on my own (why I prefer multiplayer over single player). Mostly, I hope to work with others to determine how things should develop, and no doubt they'll change over time.
The server has been built up to a steady amount of members. We are still looking to add more players, however we will be very selective during the process.
Where are you from? What Time Zone?: I'm from Peru, so that's GMT -5
How long have you been playing Minecraft?: Over 4 years now, so I guess I could say I played it before it was cool.
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: I can handle grindy work very well and love to do massive projects like perimeters and such. I can also handle redstone, meaning I can understand most circuits and am able to recreate them, but not too good as an inventor I must say. I also consider myself a decent builder. I hope you guys have huge plans 'cause I'd be all over them.
What part of minecraft interests you the most?: I'm all about them farms. I enjoy finding the most effective ways of doing everything and apply such knowledge to most of the things I build. Mega projects are my passion.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?: I haven't but I'd love to
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos): These pics are from my current SSP: http://imgur.com/a/JUowh
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: I plan to dedicate quite the hours to the server every week but I can't really say a fixed schedule as university also needs some attention.
Do you have a mic?: I have a headset mic which has decent quality.
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: At the moment I don't really have time to do an LP but I wouldn't hessitate on apearing on group events and such. This might change though and I might start recording on the server and uploading to YT.
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: I plan on inverting as many hours as possible to reach the server goals as ASAP as possible (*joke). I would 100% prioritize server projects over my own, because that's what a server is about right? Yes.
I hope you accept me and I'll be looking forward for your response.
How long have you been playing Minecraft?: 3 years
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: I enjoy building and redstone What part of minecraft interests you the most?: I like a lot of things in minecraft but redstone is absolutely the most amazing in my eyes. Just to see the simple things that you have to do become automated.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?: I played on a server called BATS (Building and Technical Survival)
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: Mostly everyday, especially on the weekends.
Do you have a mic?: indeed, I do
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?:
Yes, when I get my new computer. It's in the process of being shipped now. How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: I help out when I am needed, and will participate in all of the activities that will take place that requires multiple people. I work well with others, and I'm willing to help the server out in any way with all the various projects that are coming.
Thank you for checking out my application and I hope you like it. Hopefully you accept me

I am currently playing on a private server where we are getting into some large, complex farms and redstone builds, but I got in kind of late and a lot of the work is already done. Plus, they aren't really open to mixing or blending styles and want things built in a very specific way (think making everything everwhere flat...a LOT of grinding to take down large hills; I like blending complex things in the terrain if possible).
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos):
Here is a hidden base entry redstone tutorial I just finished yesterday -
This is a playlist for an LP series I have going - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8vbJWFtBz2r01vWqfZw_8JYCDDziXwd6
I've also attached some images. Some are of my little house on an island, one is a clock tower I just finished as part of a castle build, and some others are part of a 4-plaform Iron Golem Farm and large smelter.
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: I tend to play on servers several times a week, and a good bit on weekends. One of the servers I am playing on is shutting down, so I can easily transition to this server with the same amount of time and effort. I'd probably put in a bit more effort on this one since I'd like to start an LP series on a server.
Do you have a mic?: Yes, a blue snowball.
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: Yes, if it is okay with others; i finally have a pretty complete recording setup.
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: That'll depend a bit on what others want to do. I am very much a team player and enjoy building and working with others. I don't enjoy just going off and building on my own (why I prefer multiplayer over single player). Mostly, I hope to work with others to determine how things should develop, and no doubt they'll change over time.

Where are you from? What Time Zone?: I'm from Peru, so that's GMT -5
How long have you been playing Minecraft?: Over 4 years now, so I guess I could say I played it before it was cool.
What would you say are your best skills in Minecraft?: I can handle grindy work very well and love to do massive projects like perimeters and such. I can also handle redstone, meaning I can understand most circuits and am able to recreate them, but not too good as an inventor I must say. I also consider myself a decent builder. I hope you guys have huge plans 'cause I'd be all over them.
What part of minecraft interests you the most?: I'm all about them farms. I enjoy finding the most effective ways of doing everything and apply such knowledge to most of the things I build. Mega projects are my passion.
Have you ever played on a server similar to this?: I haven't but I'd love to
Please show some examples of your builds(Photos or Videos): These pics are from my current SSP: http://imgur.com/a/JUowh
How often do you plan on playing on the server?: I plan to dedicate quite the hours to the server every week but I can't really say a fixed schedule as university also needs some attention.
Do you have a mic?: I have a headset mic which has decent quality.
Do you plan on recording while playing on the server?: At the moment I don't really have time to do an LP but I wouldn't hessitate on apearing on group events and such. This might change though and I might start recording on the server and uploading to YT.
How do you plan on helping the server reach its goals?: I plan on inverting as many hours as possible to reach the server goals as ASAP as possible (*joke). I would 100% prioritize server projects over my own, because that's what a server is about right? Yes.
I hope you accept me and I'll be looking forward for your response.
Yours truly,
