Hello again! A couple of months ago I dropped in here with some builds and the response has been amazing. Well, I’m here today to inform all of you that the server those builds are from is about to update to one of the newest versions, and that means we are starting a fresh map! We have a bit of a problem however: “Lack of players.” Our server owner has mostly moved away from Minecraft, (for now) and as her and her husband and her friends were half the server, this has left a bit of a void in our community.

Rather than violate rule 3, I will simply describe the server and if that server is something that interests you as a player, perhaps we can discuss further steps privately. The point here is to seek out new players, and to that end, you’ll need to know what we are about.

#A Sharp Miner, The Who:

ASM is an “18 plus” server, however, as some of the members have children of their own, they occasionally play on it. We are generally left leaning in ideology, and have a strong “personality type first” attitude toward the whitelist. We are almost all MBTI type INXX’s (I myself am an INTJ, our server owner is/was an INFP) and do not like drama.

It is preferred that if you apply to join, you are serious about game play. We are looking for players who have a passion for their builds, not folks who are just popping in to check the latest update, slap together a dirt hut and then not play for several months, or until the map resets. We are accepting redstone savants, lore builders, explorers and/or minigame mavens. Filming on the server is allowed and encouraged!!

#The Culture:

We do have a series of QoL mods installed, but otherwise run fairly vanilla. Our server is set to hard difficulty. We usually pre generate chunks out to about 1500 blocks from spawn, and our world border is set to 50K. We do have the sleep limit set to half the server, so it is advised that you keep a bed on you at all times, when out exploring. (people not in the over world are not counted.) We do NOT have a user economy, as such. Instead we have a community storage area, and any “shoppes” at or around spawn are free to take from. (“tip jars” are allowed however.) If you would like to charge for any items, you may set up such shops at your personal base. The end is locked until about a month or two into the server, to allow players to explore, enjoy the early/mid game, and generally “Gear up.” Our server map (An external browser based plugin called Dynmap) is also locked until after the dragon hunt, for similar reasons. Server seed is known only to server admin and the owner. At the end of each map, it is saved and posted in our servers’ discord, and usually hosed on a google drive, or drop box, for use in single player. All bases must be at least 250 blocks from spawn and 50 blocks from each other, unless you happen to be double/group basing. (this is to avoid drama) Mines are a bit more lax about this rule, but do try to keep it “under your base” or stake a claim farther out where it will be less of an issue. (we’ve never had any, TBF, so use your best discretion)

Generally, we have the usual rules: don’t be a douchebag, don’t be a bigot, don’t greif people, clean up after your pranks, PVP is on, but should be consensual, you know the drill. If a creeper blows it up “near civilization” please refill the hole, don’t hog/raid all the structures, within reason, etc. We try not to build duplicate public farms, however, you may earmark any farms you personally build as private, in which case this does not apply. If you build a “better” public farm, the old one may be decommissioned.

#Our Community

We have a discord server, and chat is usually logged to that, however the pugin is a bit borked at the moment. We occasionally run events (in game) in line with the holidays, but it’s pretty relaxed. We have a couple mods specifically for fun like a /joke command, Troll machine, and if there’s more than 3 people on a game called “Man Hunt” begins where you have nine minutes to find and click on another player designated. Fabulous prizes go to you if you succeed; The same goes to the chosen player if you do not. It’s actually a great way to get some hard to find items!

So this is what A Sharp Miner is about. Again, strictly speaking, this is just talking about the server I play on and what it’s like. No obligation or pitches are in anyway intended. If this server sounds like something that appeals to you though, feel free to shoot me DM, and we can discuss options for onboarding you to the whitelist/contacts for the Admin team.
