How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community? If it's from a friend, who do you already know?: I was scrolling through the Minecraft forum and the same sounded familiar. I actually may have been a member during one of the seasons, I forget which one though or if that was a different server.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I have always preferred more of a medieval/rustic type of building style. Although I enjoy a little of everything, I do have a taste for these specifically. I really enjoy how much detail and creativity you can put into these themes specifically, especially for bigger builds.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Personally, I think part of it is knowing that there are other players that have a similar goal that are playing on the same server. I do not think it is anything specifically about the vanilla gameplay other than the fact you are walking around, enjoying other individual's hard-work and working towards a common goal.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Yes, I have been part of the Minecraft community for many years and I really enjoying fostering new relationships with different kinds of people.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I really enjoy lifting weights and I am currently in graduate school so I do not really have a life to be honest with you.
Hey Kekedekes! Thanks for your application! We look forward to welcoming you back to the group! It was our 7th season back in 2020 that you were a part of the group for a short period. We have many members in the community who have long term goals for projects which I'm sure will help inspire you! We actually have a server tour of bases/projects that everyone is working on this Saturday if you are available! It's a great way to get to see what others in the world are up to and hear everyone's plans. Please check your PM's for an invite.
In Game Name: Tastyrite Age: 32 Country: United Kingdom Are you familiar with Discord? What is your Discord ID?: Tastyrite#7460 How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community? If it's from a friend, who do you already know?: browsing these very forums
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I like to try and build out of the box, futuristic / medieval. Just anything that comes to mind that would look great. I love trying big mega builds with lots of detail. I don't really do Redstone, but I love building
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Smaller the mod size the better the vanilla feel and you don't feel so overwhelmed like in a lot of other mod packs that give crazy player power for those that know what they're doing. The closer to vanilla it is the better and fairer it feels for everyone and the fact that if you want to make something crazy, you have to think of crazy things that would have to work in vanilla to achieve your goal for your builds ( minecarting shulkas for example into the overworld from the end).
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I use to in the past but I've been so on and off from Minecraft, but I've been really watching a ton of SMP's as of recent and I'm just absolutely digging the community aspect and fun I have been seeing and I just want to be a part of that. I'm old enough to understand the do's and dont's and I just want to have a good time with everyone else and create a world full of fun and wonder.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I work as a bartender, so my hours are all over the place from week to week but I love to draw, cycle outdoors, I play a ton of MMORPG'S while I game or Rainbowsix Siege/ other games and I really enjoy cooking and baking.

Hiya Fzlue! thank you for applying, yes you have applied previously. You were denied beforehand because your application was a bit lacking as we're looking for answers with a bit more detail and depth to them, I'm afraid you're denied this time as well for the same reason. You're more than welcome to re-apply however.

- How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?
I was looking through my browser trying to find a community to join for the upcoming 1.19 update.
Eventually I stumbled across this thread and it looks very nice.
- What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?
I like to go with underground strongholds or terraform around a house made of terracotta/brick walls and a original roof every new house,
most of the time I make a oak log structure as starter base.
- What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?
Definitely active community, I only seem to stop with playing when the rest of the server has died down too.
I love making maps of big parts of the ingame world and decorating my area full with barely functional but good looking farms.
- Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?
I have been playing and interacting with the Wynncraft community for years and been in a lot of smp groups.

Hi Saraldar thank you for your application! exploring 1.19 is gonna be a great time so nice to have a community to enjoy it with for sure, we're a pretty active community and hopefully tick any other boxes you may have with what you're looking for. Please check your PM's for more information.
Discord?I am familiar with Discord. My Discord ID is ghoster#6408.
How did I hear about you?Well, I was looking around on the internet a stumbled across minecraftforum.net. After looking through some of the server postings for Java, I found a recruitment post for your server.
Building style?I generally like a naturalistic medieval type of building style. I also enjoy doing redstone and incorporating redstone devices into my builds. I’ve also discovered recently that I really like landscaping.
Why am I drawn toward your SMP?Well, back in March, I tried creating a SMP with many people I met in a Minecraft event. After working hard on creating the server, I was super excited to have a community to play Minecraft with. Sadly, most people got busy with other stuff and never played on the server. Those who did play on the server had very different time zones. It was rare to find more than two people on at one time. So the server ended up failing, and people stopped playing on the SMP. Since then, I have wanted to find an SMP to play Minecraft with. So the community is the main reason why I’m drawn to your SMP.
Experiences with Minecraft communities?Like I said in the former question, I had a Minecraft community that I attempted to start. Over my 9 years of playing Minecraft, I have also been involved with other communities as well. However, one community that I miss and have never gotten that itch-scratched is the Xbox 360 community. This was my first ever community in Minecraft; someone or I would open a world, and everyone on the Xbox 360 could see it and play on it. This was before there were large servers on the console. Anyways, I kept seeing the same people, and after some time, we all became friends and created a world together. We developed a community, built a village, and created minigames to play in that world. I hope that I can scratch that itch with Sanctuary SMP.
What do I do outside of Minecraft?I really enjoy reading fantasy stories and have been reading a lot of books recently. I even started writing my own novel on Royal Roads; it’s called Ascendance of a Fox (I got a little busy with moving, so I took a small break with releasing chapters). I am also a nature enjoyer, so I enjoy going to parks and walking around and seeing the world. I am also a university student and study political science. I’ve been mainly focused on studying human rights and transitional justice (basically repairing society after something horrific such as genocide).
Side note: I don't want to commit to anything just yet. A random post on a Minecraft forum isn't enough for me. I want to meet the community first and figure out if this is a community I want to be a part of.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community? If it's from a friend, who do you already know?: I have wanted to get back into Minecraft again for quite some time. I was looking around for SMP server in a few different places and in minecraft forum I found your server on the front page.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I have always been a big fan of industrial type buildings, machines and projects. I would not say that I am the best builder there is but I am quite ok. When I get invested in the game I like to build big expansive bases with lots of redstone machines and farms. Always try and make sure the farms are as lag friendly as possible. I do not want to be causing issue for everyone and it is also easier to play in the base when it runs better. As I have all these machines and farms my base and buildings tend to incorporate them into the design or atleast cover them up the best way I can. I once made a big hole and put a farm in there so it would not look bad and cover the rest of the area.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? In my opinion playing with other people is the best way to play the game. I want to be on server with lots of people that you can interact with, talk to and work on projects together. I want to be part of community, I dont like to play alone and having people around you that you can play with and talk to makes the whole minecraft experience so much better. Keeping the server vanilla is something I really like. Im not fussed about mods and things so keeping it vanilla and basic is best. There is already so much things to do in the game and I already have so many ideas, machines and farms I want to make. Hope I answerd your question right.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Yes I have been a part of servers before a few years ago. I have taken some time off from Minecraft but want to come back now there is so much new stuff to explore and build with. The last server I was on sadly shut down and the community with it. Which was sad because the best part of a minecraft server is the community.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I have a big interest in football and ice hockey. Very happy Finland just won the world championship in ice hockey. I play csgo from time to time and some other fps games when I feel like it. Other than that I just finished my studies in computer science related university program and I am very excited to come out and start working. I first have to figure out exactly what I want to do haha. I also try and spend as much time with my girlfriend as possible. But I will defininitly have enough time for both.
Thank you so much for taking time to read this application. I hope to hear back from you!

Hiya Foxner thank you for your application! as redundant as it might sound we're a community focused community absolutely so hopefully we do end up being what you're looking for, unfortunate that your server ended up fizzling out but sadly that's what happens with the majority of them. We recently celebrated our 6th anniversary as a community and no signs of us going away any time soon so fingers crossed you can find what you're looking for with us.
No major commitment or anything required, we're really casual about event attendance and don't have playtime requirements if that's the kind of thing you meant at the end.
But anyways! please check your PM's for more information.

Thank you for your application Mavix! agree wholeheartedly about the best part of Minecraft servers being the community, such a shame that it's so common for them to shut down and for those communities to be lost. Great that you're considerate about lag and such with farms, hurray for winning the world championship by the way.
We are a pretty vanilla server aside from the couple of QOL changes as listed on the forums, we try to keep things there as minimal as possible to keep the vanilla feel and gameplay.
Hopefully you can join our community and have a great time getting back into the game, please check your PM's for more information!

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community? If it's from a friend, who do you already know?: I found you guys on the first page on minecraftforums.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I like partially sunken houses. Compact designs to fit the most stuff in one space. Little simple looking places that have redstone or constructions underneath. I also like to mess with the lighting and get dim lights or lots of shadows with half blocks. Decorations everywhere. I like it when places look warm and comfy.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Limits and progression. Seeing people form groups and scavenge for resources in a natural way. Watching a community build an actual village out of those resources. Taking part in whatever job fits my strengths is part of the fun. Helping others work their way up to diamond armor and elytra is cool.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Some, I have played on plenty of servers throughout minecrafts years and I was trusted on an RPG server.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I like listening to music, if you consider that a hobby. I mainly just play games. Sometimes I drive, but I just use that to listen to music. So, music!

What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?
Full disclosure, I first started playing Minecraft on a terrible old laptop, and went from there to a Macbook Air, so most of my time playing has been on computers that just can't handle mods! I've had a proper gaming PC for about a year now though, and I've discovered I just prefer the familiarity of Vanilla. I get a bit overwhelmed with the amount of choice and possibility in modded, and I also kind of miss the grind of it. In terms of SMPs specifically, I honestly just get bored playing by myself. There are aspects of the game I'm not so good at (redstone farms especially, though I'm trying to get better!) and it's really nice to be able to swap strengths with others and focus on what I love best. I'd love to find a friendly community where I can really make some friends and settle into a comfortable groove, contribute to some community projects, and set up a little space for myself somewhere cosy.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?
I've been on a few SMPs over the years, but sadly most have fizzled out due to low player counts or player inactivity. I've always really enjoyed the collaborative nature of them, and I love being able to get involved with community games or projects.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?
I'm currently planning my wedding, which feels like it should be a full-time job to be honest! I also love creative writing (I'm working on a novel) and I picked up crochet during lockdown last year, which I'm terrible at – but I have a lot of fun with it anyway. Lastly I'm trying to get fitter and healthier having always hated exercise, so attempting to work out in some form a few times a week. Can't say I'm enjoying it yet, but I'm sure I will... eventually...
Thanks so much for considering me and I would love to be able to join you!

What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? Neat and organized bases with labeled chests
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? The thing I value about vanilla the most is the fact that it isn't as convoluted as any modded experience, but progression in vanilla is linear and stops after a certain moment. Introducing more players to the mix allows for the potential growth of massive projects which are always a pleasure to be a part of.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I don't even remember how old I was when I started playing, but rest assured I've tried all the different communities this game has to offer (PVP, Creative, RP etc.)
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I just finished school and passed all my exams, so I have more time on my hands than I need. Apart from Minecraft I plan on returning to my summer job as a waiter. If I feel like I have too much time on my hands I like to head to the gym with friends and then walk around the city.

What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I like to try and build out of the box, futuristic / medieval. Just anything that comes to mind that would look great. I love trying big mega builds with lots of detail. I don't really do Redstone, but I love building
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Smaller the mod size the better the vanilla feel and you don't feel so overwhelmed like in a lot of other mod packs that give crazy player power for those that know what they're doing. The closer to vanilla it is the better and fairer it feels for everyone and the fact that if you want to make something crazy, you have to think of crazy things that would have to work in vanilla to achieve your goal for your builds ( minecarting shulkas for example into the overworld from the end).

I use to in the past but I've been so on and off from Minecraft, but I've been really watching a ton of SMP's as of recent and I'm just absolutely digging the community aspect and fun I have been seeing and I just want to be a part of that. I'm old enough to understand the do's and dont's and I just want to have a good time with everyone else and create a world full of fun and wonder.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I work as a bartender, so my hours are all over the place from week to week but I love to draw, cycle outdoors, I play a ton of MMORPG'S while I game or Rainbowsix Siege/ other games and I really enjoy cooking and baking.
Thank you for your application Tastyrite! Mega builds are always welcome here! We look forward to meeting you! Please check your PM's for an invite.

You were denied beforehand because your application was a bit lacking as we're looking for answers with a bit more detail and depth to them, I'm afraid you're denied this time as well for the same reason.

- How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?
I was looking through my browser trying to find a community to join for the upcoming 1.19 update.
Eventually I stumbled across this thread and it looks very nice.
- What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?
I like to go with underground strongholds or terraform around a house made of terracotta/brick walls and a original roof every new house,
most of the time I make a oak log structure as starter base.
- What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?
Definitely active community, I only seem to stop with playing when the rest of the server has died down too.
I love making maps of big parts of the ingame world and decorating my area full with barely functional but good looking farms.
- Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?
I have been playing and interacting with the Wynncraft community for years and been in a lot of smp groups.
- Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?

Discord? I am familiar with Discord. My Discord ID is ghoster#6408.
How did I hear about you? Well, I was looking around on the internet a stumbled across minecraftforum.net. After looking through some of the server postings for Java, I found a recruitment post for your server.
Building style? I generally like a naturalistic medieval type of building style. I also enjoy doing redstone and incorporating redstone devices into my builds. I’ve also discovered recently that I really like landscaping.
Why am I drawn toward your SMP? Well, back in March, I tried creating a SMP with many people I met in a Minecraft event. After working hard on creating the server, I was super excited to have a community to play Minecraft with. Sadly, most people got busy with other stuff and never played on the server. Those who did play on the server had very different time zones. It was rare to find more than two people on at one time. So the server ended up failing, and people stopped playing on the SMP. Since then, I have wanted to find an SMP to play Minecraft with. So the community is the main reason why I’m drawn to your SMP.
Experiences with Minecraft communities? Like I said in the former question, I had a Minecraft community that I attempted to start. Over my 9 years of playing Minecraft, I have also been involved with other communities as well. However, one community that I miss and have never gotten that itch-scratched is the Xbox 360 community. This was my first ever community in Minecraft; someone or I would open a world, and everyone on the Xbox 360 could see it and play on it. This was before there were large servers on the console. Anyways, I kept seeing the same people, and after some time, we all became friends and created a world together. We developed a community, built a village, and created minigames to play in that world. I hope that I can scratch that itch with Sanctuary SMP.
What do I do outside of Minecraft? I really enjoy reading fantasy stories and have been reading a lot of books recently. I even started writing my own novel on Royal Roads; it’s called Ascendance of a Fox (I got a little busy with moving, so I took a small break with releasing chapters). I am also a nature enjoyer, so I enjoy going to parks and walking around and seeing the world. I am also a university student and study political science. I’ve been mainly focused on studying human rights and transitional justice (basically repairing society after something horrific such as genocide).
Side note: I don't want to commit to anything just yet. A random post on a Minecraft forum isn't enough for me. I want to meet the community first and figure out if this is a community I want to be a part of.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community? If it's from a friend, who do you already know?: I have wanted to get back into Minecraft again for quite some time. I was looking around for SMP server in a few different places and in minecraft forum I found your server on the front page.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I have always been a big fan of industrial type buildings, machines and projects. I would not say that I am the best builder there is but I am quite ok. When I get invested in the game I like to build big expansive bases with lots of redstone machines and farms. Always try and make sure the farms are as lag friendly as possible. I do not want to be causing issue for everyone and it is also easier to play in the base when it runs better. As I have all these machines and farms my base and buildings tend to incorporate them into the design or atleast cover them up the best way I can. I once made a big hole and put a farm in there so it would not look bad and cover the rest of the area.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? In my opinion playing with other people is the best way to play the game. I want to be on server with lots of people that you can interact with, talk to and work on projects together. I want to be part of community, I dont like to play alone and having people around you that you can play with and talk to makes the whole minecraft experience so much better. Keeping the server vanilla is something I really like. Im not fussed about mods and things so keeping it vanilla and basic is best. There is already so much things to do in the game and I already have so many ideas, machines and farms I want to make. Hope I answerd your question right.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Yes I have been a part of servers before a few years ago. I have taken some time off from Minecraft but want to come back now there is so much new stuff to explore and build with. The last server I was on sadly shut down and the community with it. Which was sad because the best part of a minecraft server is the community.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I have a big interest in football and ice hockey. Very happy Finland just won the world championship in ice hockey. I play csgo from time to time and some other fps games when I feel like it. Other than that I just finished my studies in computer science related university program and I am very excited to come out and start working. I first have to figure out exactly what I want to do haha. I also try and spend as much time with my girlfriend as possible. But I will defininitly have enough time for both.
Thank you so much for taking time to read this application. I hope to hear back from you!
Hiya Foxner thank you for your application! as redundant as it might sound we're a community focused community absolutely so hopefully we do end up being what you're looking for, unfortunate that your server ended up fizzling out but sadly that's what happens with the majority of them. We recently celebrated our 6th anniversary as a community and no signs of us going away any time soon so fingers crossed you can find what you're looking for with us.
No major commitment or anything required, we're really casual about event attendance and don't have playtime requirements if that's the kind of thing you meant at the end.
But anyways! please check your PM's for more information.
Thank you for your application Mavix! agree wholeheartedly about the best part of Minecraft servers being the community, such a shame that it's so common for them to shut down and for those communities to be lost. Great that you're considerate about lag and such with farms, hurray for winning the world championship by the way.
We are a pretty vanilla server aside from the couple of QOL changes as listed on the forums, we try to keep things there as minimal as possible to keep the vanilla feel and gameplay.
Hopefully you can join our community and have a great time getting back into the game, please check your PM's for more information!

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community? If it's from a friend, who do you already know?: I found you guys on the first page on minecraftforums.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I like partially sunken houses. Compact designs to fit the most stuff in one space. Little simple looking places that have redstone or constructions underneath. I also like to mess with the lighting and get dim lights or lots of shadows with half blocks. Decorations everywhere. I like it when places look warm and comfy.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Limits and progression. Seeing people form groups and scavenge for resources in a natural way. Watching a community build an actual village out of those resources. Taking part in whatever job fits my strengths is part of the fun. Helping others work their way up to diamond armor and elytra is cool.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Some, I have played on plenty of servers throughout minecrafts years and I was trusted on an RPG server.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I like listening to music, if you consider that a hobby. I mainly just play games. Sometimes I drive, but I just use that to listen to music. So, music!

I found you guys on the front page of the MinecraftForum PC servers! I'm afraid I don't know anyone, but I'm hoping to make some new friends if I am able to join
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?
It's probably a bit of a cliché but I do love medieval, though I'm determined to try to experiment more with medieval-adjacent styles like fantasy or Viking! I love building up a lot of medium-sized things to make a base that feels more like a village rather than just one huge mega-build. I also love building with others and matching their style, I think it's a really fun challenge and pushes me to improve.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?
Full disclosure, I first started playing Minecraft on a terrible old laptop, and went from there to a Macbook Air, so most of my time playing has been on computers that just can't handle mods! I've had a proper gaming PC for about a year now though, and I've discovered I just prefer the familiarity of Vanilla. I get a bit overwhelmed with the amount of choice and possibility in modded, and I also kind of miss the grind of it. In terms of SMPs specifically, I honestly just get bored playing by myself. There are aspects of the game I'm not so good at (redstone farms especially, though I'm trying to get better!) and it's really nice to be able to swap strengths with others and focus on what I love best. I'd love to find a friendly community where I can really make some friends and settle into a comfortable groove, contribute to some community projects, and set up a little space for myself somewhere cosy.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?
I've been on a few SMPs over the years, but sadly most have fizzled out due to low player counts or player inactivity. I've always really enjoyed the collaborative nature of them, and I love being able to get involved with community games or projects.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?
I'm currently planning my wedding, which feels like it should be a full-time job to be honest! I also love creative writing (I'm working on a novel) and I picked up crochet during lockdown last year, which I'm terrible at – but I have a lot of fun with it anyway. Lastly I'm trying to get fitter and healthier having always hated exercise, so attempting to work out in some form a few times a week. Can't say I'm enjoying it yet, but I'm sure I will... eventually...
Thanks so much for considering me and I would love to be able to join you!

What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? Neat and organized bases with labeled chests
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? The thing I value about vanilla the most is the fact that it isn't as convoluted as any modded experience, but progression in vanilla is linear and stops after a certain moment. Introducing more players to the mix allows for the potential growth of massive projects which are always a pleasure to be a part of.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I don't even remember how old I was when I started playing, but rest assured I've tried all the different communities this game has to offer (PVP, Creative, RP etc.)
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I just finished school and passed all my exams, so I have more time on my hands than I need. Apart from Minecraft I plan on returning to my summer job as a waiter. If I feel like I have too much time on my hands I like to head to the gym with friends and then walk around the city.
