Hello there! I'm looking for a server that meets my specific criteria. I've been browsing this forum for a while as well as searching on other websites to find a server that fits my needs and so far I've come up empty handed. Hopefully there is a server out there for me! I'm looking for a server that meets these criteria:
- An experienced owner and active and friendly staff
- 1.9 or 1.10
- Has Essentials (/home, /tpa, etc.)
- No griefing or raiding allowed
- An economy with player owned shops
- Player owned towns
- A medium sized player base (not a small server with few people on but not a huge network either)
- A Discord server is nice, but not required
- A DynMap is nice, but not required
Now, if there is a server that meets these criteria, please comment below! I'd love to join. If your server or the server you recommend mostly fits the criteria, still let me know about it and tell me what criteria it doesn't meet. Thanks in advance for your server suggestions!
EDIT: I updated and removed certain criteria to broaden my range of possible servers.
Build Style: I don't exactly have a distinct building style. I like to keep things interesting so I'm constantly trying new building styles.
Why you want to join the server: I want to join The Sanctuary SMP because I'm searching for a community-based vanilla server with a relatively new map. From what I've seen so far, this server seems like a perfect fit!
Tell us a little about yourself: Other games outside of Minecraft I enjoy are Rocket League and Hearthstone. I play trumpet in my high school's band and orchestra. I consider myself a friendly guy and I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody on the server.
Twitter (if you have one): I believe my Twitter is just pizzapenguin, but I'm inactive.
In Game Name: PizzaPenguin Age: 15 Why do you wish to join this server: I want to join this server because I'm searching for a new community-based vanilla server to call home.This one seems like the perfect fit!
What time zone are you in: CST (Texas)
Male/Female: Male What is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft: I love to gather resources, build, and explore, Tell us about yourself: Outside of Minecraft, other video games I enjoy are Rocket League and Hearthstone. I am also an experienced trumpet player in my high school's band and orchestra programs. I consider myself a friendly guy, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody! What style do you like to build in: I don't really have a distinct style because I like to mix it up from build to build to keep things fresh. How long have you been playing Minecraft for: I've been playing Minecraft for almost 5 years now- since Beta 1.6.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Thank you for considering my application.
Name or Alias you would like to be called: Kyle is my real name, although I'd prefer to be called "Pizza" in-game. IGN: PizzaPenguin Age (16+ preferred but not required; being mature is what is important): 15 Skype Username (If preferred please send in PM): PM'd What time zone/Country do you reside in: Texas, USA (CST Time Zone) Have you ever been banned from a Minecraft server? (If so, explain why) Unfortunately, I have been banned from a Minecraft server before. This occurred about 1.5 years ago. I was a new member on a small SMP much like this one, and I was really enjoying my time meeting people and playing classic vanilla Minecraft. A couple new friends and I found a stronghold and then proceeded to kill the ender dragon. However, the server owner later came on and told us that the dragon fight was intended to be a server event, and deemed our act ban-worthy. I have been banned one other time in 2011, but that was by an abusive moderator, who soon had his privileges taken away as I was let back on the server. Please write a description about yourself 2 paragraphs long at a minimum, this can include Hobbies, gaming feats, IRL (if you so wish) essentially give us a taste of what you're like.
I have been playing Minecraft for almost five years. My original "home" server had a wonderful community feel, and everyone was extremely helpful and we all had a good time. Due to financial issues, the server came to an abrupt stop shortly after I got settled in. Since then, I have been struggling to find a home server. The ones that seem like a great fit for me always seem to shut down due to lack of money or player activity. When I play Minecraft, I love to explore and build, but recently, I have been expanding my Minecraft horizons as I explore the areas of PvP and redstone. Other video games I enjoy include Rocket League and Hearthstone.
Outside of the gaming world, I am an experienced trumpet in my high school's band and full orchestra. These extracurricular activities, along with several academic opportunities outside of the classroom take up a large portion of my time, but I can still find hours a day to play on the server if accepted. I also love watching sports, especially American Football. Finally, I am a social and friendly guy - I love meeting new people and making friends, so don't be afraid to say hello! Questions about the server?: About how many active players do you have?
Here are some MC screenshots of mine. All of these are from the past couple of months because my older stuff was on my old hard drive.
If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! Thank you for your consideration, and I await your response.
Before my application, I have to say that I do not meet the age requirement, but I'd love to be part of the community. If that is an issue, then you by no means have to consider my application, but I figured I'd post anyways just in case. This server looks just like what I've been looking for, and I'd hate to miss out on a great opportunity. Anyways, here's my application.
Name:
Kyle IGN:
PizzaPenguin Age:
I am 14 years old. I hope this isn't an issue. Where are you from:
I am from Texas, USA. In case you need to know, I'm in CST Time Zone. What you enjoy about Minecraft:
I've been playing Minecraft for 4 years now, and the appeal of the game has not yet diminished for me. I think the reason I, and many others, enjoy the game so much is because of the endless possibilities. My personal favorite part of the game is the survival aspect, and building. However, building in creative just doesn't do it for me, because I feel like the materials should be rightfully earned, and in my mind, that's an essential part of the game. I also enjoy playing with friends, because you can do things together and build a community. There's nothing I like more in Minecraft than a tight-knit community playing together. What you are looking for in a Minecraft community:
In a Minecraft community, I'm looking for a group of people that are friends, have a good sense of humor, and are close. Vanilla servers are my favorite because they build this type of community; tightly knit, close friends, and most importantly, have a good time together. Unfortunately, most servers these days have completely lost this aspect of Minecraft, and it's probably the reason I got hooked to the game so much in 2011. It seems impossible to find a server that meets this criteria these days, but Amicus looks very promising. A bit about yourself:
Outside of Minecraft, I love computers in general. Building computers, working with them, and seeing the finished product is one of the most satisfying things I do. Also, I'm a trumpet player in marching band, in the most competitive state for band. It's fun, although it eats up a lot of my time in late summer and early fall. I love sports, but no longer participate in any myself due to time limitations. I'm going into my freshman year of high school this year. Why we should accept you:
I feel like I would be a great fit for this server, because everything you described is just my cup of tea, and your community sounds like just what I've been searching for.
Thank you in advance for (hopefully) considering my application, despite the age issue. I look forward to a response, and the possibility of joining a great community.
I'd like some feedback on how to improve this skin. Also, if you have a PMC account, a diamond is very much appreciated, as it helps me become a finalist. Thanks!
What type of player are you? I love building, but I would have to say I like playing more survival-oriented. Making cool farms, fighting mobs, etc. Most things that I build in SMPs have a purpose - not just to look good and do nothing.
Do you have any specialties? (i.e. building, redstone, farm making, etc.) I consider myself decent at building, redstone, etc. but not superb at any of them. I can do enough to get the job done. My builds definitely don't look ugly.
Have you ever been in an SMP before? If so, why not anymore?: Yes, I have. Recently I had some personal complications with the owner and I've decided it's best for me to leave. I was slowly losing interest anyways as more and more people that I was friends with were leaving.
Skype Name: pizza.penguin (I can't voice chat, but I can type all day!)
If you have twitter or a youtube you'd like to link, do so here: I don't really do much on my twitter, but here: https://twitter.com/ThePizzaPenguin
If you have any pictures of redstone creations/farms you've made/ or builds you'd like me to see, link them here: Unfortunately, most of my good builds were on servers that no longer exist, or on my old computer's hard drive, neither of which I have access to.
Minecraft and mature players... Those two things just don't add up, my friend.
I've played on plenty servers before with mature players. Unfortunately, all the good servers seem to die out a lot more than those big pay2win faction servers. Seriously, who likes those?

I am confused... I thought this server was vanilla, but when I logged on I was unpleasantly surprised with essentials, /home, etc.
