Several of us here are fans of playing Minecraft. It's a great game for members to relax, stretch their creative juices and talk casually. And several times have we tried to set up a dedicated server. The whole idea dying after its first owner could not take the stress anymore.

The recent release of "Minecraft Realms" offers us the chance to start fresh with the whole idea along with the added bonus that we can operate a server 24-7, making access to it not being limited by time zone.

We have to start fresh however, so everyone's previous projects will be inaccessible for the time being (although they are still archived on my computer). AdmiralPanda and I have already set up a "starter settlement" on a small island off the mainland and Xho has already begun some secret (presumably mega-) project on the mainland somewhere.

JOINING Joining is relatively simple. You provide your Minecraft profile name to operators, an operator will add you to a whitelist allowing you to access the server whenever you like.

GUIDELINES
 * By default, the server is a survival map, but creative mode can be given to users who request it. Trusted users can be given access to alter their and others' gamemode as they wish.
 * Please be mindful of creepers and zombies at night. Unless there is a notable appeal for a monster-free map.
 * The whitelist can have as many as 20 users listed and as many as 10 users can be on the server at any one time.
 * Due to Realms' restrictions, the map will be mod-free indefinitely. Private stashes are advised to be labelled to avoid unintentional stealing (although keeping your stuff in a secret place is the best suggestion)
