Ampersand is a Minecraft survival server located in the United States, specifically designed for version 1.7.2. It features two main worlds: a survival world and a creative world. In the survival world, players engage in gameplay that is connected to an adventure world, which can limit the amount of space available for building. However, players have options to teleport from the spawn area to find more suitable locations for their constructions. The server operates on hard difficulty, as the administrators felt that the normal setting didn't provide enough of a challenge for players in a multiplayer environment.
The creative world on the Ampersand server requires players to pass a specific test to gain building privileges. This ensures that only those who demonstrate adequate skill can access the creative building resources. Interested players must reach out to a server administrator if they believe they possess the necessary capabilities to qualify. This server aims to provide both an engaging survival experience and a creative outlet for its community, catering to varying play styles and preferences.
