Welcome to Refuge for the S4 Revamp!
Season 4 of Refuge SMP launched on 6/23 and most of us aren’t quite ready for a reset yet so we are looking for new members who are eager to join a creative, close-knit, community-focused server, and help us continue to grow. Although we have some bases and shops established, there is plenty of space for more! We’ve decided to do a mid-season revamp which will include the beautification of spawn, completion of the nether hub system, new events, and more!
This is a safe space! Please feel free to let your glorious colors shine with us and explore your creative potential!
We’re a very friendly and welcoming group of avid Minecraft players ranging from age 18-35 and located in Australia, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US just looking for other players like us that want to get away from reality for a while. Join us in a world we can create and enjoy a different reality where we live our own stories together! Before applying, please read these few short rules (closely modeled after HermitCraft) and requirements we have agreed on to keep the community carefree and enjoyable for everyone:
Basic Rules:
\*Be Friendly (Zero tolerance for harassment or bullying of any nature)
\*Be a Community Player (don’t be stingy on the server, we like to help each other!)
\*NO Griefing (friendly pranking is allowed) – 1 warning before kick
\*Absolutely NO Hacking/Cheating – Zero Tolerance
\*Be Considerate (don’t be rude or cause arguments) – Excessive rude/argumentative behavior will result in temporary or full bans depending on the level of misconduct.
\*Have Fun!!!
Requirements:
\*(Required client-side files are provided in Discord with instructions and help setting them up)
\*Must be 18+
\*Must be LGBTQ+ Friendly (in or supportive of the community)
\*Simple Voice (Fabric) (Necessary to log into the server but does not have to be used)
\*NoChatReports (Required to log into server)
What kind of server is Refuge?
We are a Java SMP using the Bloom Hosting platform with admins/owners located in the US and AUS, so there will always be staff around to help! A full list of plugins/vanilla tweaks used is available in the Discord. We are looking for members who can be active 1-2 times a week minimum. However, we are very accommodating when it comes to needing time away for personal reasons. Real life comes before the server, always! We have the option to DM an Admin/Owner if you need to take time away, where we will mark you as taking a break until you are ready to return so you can still be a part of the server and a new option to be marked as “Peanut Gallery” if you are going to be away for an extended period of time but would like to stay connected on the Discord server.
A donation page is set up via PayPal for the server and there are in-game gifts for donors (these do not affect the actual gameplay or mechanics). Donations are strictly used to keep the server online and for any upgrades determined by the Owners/Admins and approved by the community. Donations are very much appreciated but in no way required for any activity on the server. Donors do not receive special privileges or treatment.
What kind of plan is there for Refuge?
We follow the traits of Hermitcraft season 9 where we strive to be a community-orientated server staying somewhat close together. The idea is that groups are formed so that each time you log in something new is happening on the server, rather than an SMP where everyone is pretty much in single player with a shopping district. We do not plan much of an economy and prefer to share resources; however, shops are always welcome and we ask that any resources being sold in shops not be provided in a community farm so those who do enjoy an economy feel can still have fun. Forced monopolization of any resource/service is frowned upon.
\*GMT/UTC +8, +9, +10 and 0, +1, +2 strongly encouraged to apply!!
🌈Note that this is an LGBTQ+ friendly server! This is a safe space and we will not tolerate intolerance, judgment, or harassment of any kind🏳️🌈
If this sounds like the server for you, send me a message or comment and I will send you the Google Form Application! We are so excited to see you on the server.
