JayCraft starting a new season!
Hey, we'd like to hereby announce that JayCraft is starting a new season in 1.19 and we're inviting new players to come on.
Our setup is pretty basic and have worked well for us thus far. We're running a vanilla experience but we do have a few datapacks installed. Our game style is pretty much your average "Hermitcraft" SMP experience with shops, farms, events and such organised organically by us as a community. We have a variety of different game and build styles on the server so we're definitely looking to get some more variation into that as well.
Besides that we pride ourselves in being a very friendly and open minded community, we're welcoming to anyone no matter what background you have.
Applying for membership
In order to apply for membership on the server we require you to fill in a form telling us a little about yourself just to make sure we're a good match for each other!
What is your main style of playing?
What is your building style?
What are you looking for in an SMP?
Any other hobbies or interests outside of Minecraft?
Datapacks
- Multiplayer sleep - Only one player have to go to bed for night to be reset
- Anti-Enderman Grief - They can destroy contraptions, let make them not do that!
- Player heads drop - Players drop head upon death!
- More mob heads - Mobs drop heads upon death!
- Armor statues - Make armor stances into beautiful statues
- Silence Mobs - Use a name tag to silence mobs (good for farms)
What timezone are we playing?
Server is hosted in Europe but we're open for players all around the world. We would like it if people are active during different times since it's always nice to wake up to new things on the server. But please come on in to our Discord and socialise a bit. We're all about making friendships and forging a strong community.
Rules?
We're going for a as few rules as possible sort of an approach which is also why we value people coming on our Discord and socialising and getting to know each other before the season starts. Trust is everything for us so we hope you think the same.
- 18+ only
- No griefing
- No hacking
- Be friendly
When do we start?
Starting as soon as 1.19.1 is out! Reason being that there's still a few bugs that we're concerned about and we think this would improve the experience dramatically for all players if we wait until 1.19.1!
Q&A
I am younger than 18, am I allowed to apply?
No. This server is 18+ only.
How long is a planned "season"?
A season goes on for as long as we decide it goes for but the general guidelines have been that we run a season until next update. We usually aim for the 1.X.1 update were there's been some bug fixes and such for a smoother experience.
Do you offer a world download at the end of the season to your members?
Yes.
Are any server events "mandatory"?
No, while we do organise server events like for example killing the Ender dragon or similar they're not mandatory. We're going for a more relaxed and laid back play style.
Are camera accounts allowed? And/or Freecam (like what Doc uses)?
Yes, camera account and freecam is allowed!
Are communal farms allowed?
Yes. Communal farm as allowed but not enforced. It is up to whomever builds a farm to decide if they want to share it or not. In previous seasons the enderman XP farm have been pretty much 100% communal and people have added anvils, library and enchantment tables and such as they saw it fitting and even stocked up with lapiz. But again, there's no enforcement of communal farm.
Is there a world border, and if so how large?
Yes, there's a world border but it's sat at default max size. There's millions of blocks to explore if you so like but please be considerate of chunk generation for lag reasons.
Are players free to build where they want? Can they claim space for their build?
Essentially people are allowed to build wherever they want but we tend to respect each other and not build too close to others bases without first asking if it's OK. Again, we don't enforce anything but being friendly and practicing courtesy.
Is the world seed known to players? Or kept secret to keep things interesting? And do you pick the seed, or go random?
The world seed is known. It's fairly easy to calculate the world seed by exploring the bedrock either way. I pick a seed and have tended to go towards something similar to a large island sort of spawn region but you are free to roam around as you please.
Do you pregenerate chunks?
Yes, we pregenerate an area of 10 000 blocks in a radius around 0, 0!
