Survival Builders is a hardcore Minecraft server operating on version 1.21 based in the United States. Players can join the server by applying for a whitelist on their Discord channel. The server emphasizes a gameplay experience that is 99% vanilla, meaning it retains the core mechanics of the game while incorporating select plugins to enhance functionality. It has been designed for an adult community, requiring members to be at least 21 years old. The server operates in hard mode, focusing exclusively on Player versus Environment (PvE) gameplay, and all structures, including the spawn area, are created within survival mode. The community collaborates on various projects, such as building a communal spawn area, and members can also showcase their builds on social media platforms like Instagram. Additionally, there is a Nether hub network implemented for easier travel between different locations in the game.
The server has established a clear set of rules to maintain a positive environment, including prohibitions against x-ray hacks, griefing, raiding, and destruction of property. Players are expected to respect one another as the server enforces a zero-tolerance policy for any disruptive behavior. Regarding plugins, Survival Builders utilizes a range of tools designed to enhance the player experience, including Dynmap for live map viewing, Essentials for basic commands, FarmLimiter to manage resources, HeadDatabase for player heads, Logblock for block monitoring, Multiverse for managing multiple worlds, PlayerHeads for collecting player heads, and TreasureHunt for in-game treasure quests. These plugins work together to create a balanced and enjoyable survival experience for all participants.
