MC.godsyn.com is a dedicated, 20-slot Minecraft server hosted in North America that has been around since the dawn of SMP, and we’re known for its active and mature community. Players under the age of 18 are not permitted to apply for membership, and the administrators and moderators of the server are required to be over 21 years old.

MC.godsyn.com is primarily a PVE (player versus environment) server, with a strong emphasis on creative, interesting, and intelligent architecture and design. This means you will likely be ridiculed if you build large featureless structures such as cobblestone boxes or wooden depots. If you need help or think your building isn’t up to par with the server’s standards, our regulars will be around to give you a hand or provide constructive criticism on a project.

We understand that there are monsters and you would like to not be eaten by them, but don’t make your first build a huge cobblestone monstrosity. Start out small, and work your way up. If you’re done with a starter building, please don’t keep it around.

We have a dedicated mumble server available for those who wish to use voice chat. In-game, the members of the server are expected to use proper English when communicating. If you can’t be bothered to spell out your words instead of resorting to abbreviations such as “u, ur, and r,” then we expect you will put just as little effort into your creations as you put into your writing.

While we attempt to keep the game as close to vanilla as possible, we have a few useful modifications to make the multiplayer experience more enjoyable:

Automated question based membership. See spawn for details.
A 64x64 plot of land on the creative/build map for each player.
Backups of the PVE, Nether, and Creative worlds every hour.
Sign based chest, dispenser, brewing station, and furnace protection.
Sign based trading of goods.  Make secure trades and set up functional shops in-game.
Writable books which can be stored in bookcases.
A text based teleportation system with a 5 minute cool-down between each use.
A browser based map of the server with real-time player locations and block updates.
Abrogated fire spread and creeper block damage.

Server upgrades are based on user donations. Through this system, we’ve acquired an uninterruptible power supply for the server box, allowing us adequate time during a power outage to backup the map before the server is safely shut down, effectively preventing map corruption or data loss. We’ve also upgraded the amount of ram the server had from 4 to 8 gigs, allowing us 5 more available slots while keeping the server running at a full 20 ticks per second. Later down the line, we’ll be adding a solid state drive to speed up the map backup process.

Below is a list of our seven main rules we adhere to when playing on the server.

You must be 18 or older to obtain membership.
Be respectful and ethical.
Use common sense.
Do not touch other people’s buildings / chests / anything.
Do not leave floating trees.
If inactive for 14 days, all possessions are forfeit.
No cheating / griefing. No warning will be issued.

Additional things to consider when on the server.

No 3rd party modifications other than Spoutcraft and Optifine, this includes fly, x-ray, speed, or any other modification or application used to cheat.
Do not destroy monster spawners. Use them to your advantage.

We look forward to seeing you on the server!
