Skyfall is a Vanilla whitelist server (no plug-ins or mods) with a small, tight-knit community that strives to create an ambiance similar to the old MindCrack and Hermitcraft servers.
This server is ideal for those who have prior experience playing Minecraft, who are familiar with and enjoy playing in a completely Vanilla Survival environment. We are seeking people who intend to play fairly regularly, and who not only want to explore the world, but are genuinely seeking an active small community of friends to build and interact with. We greatly encourage collaboration so that the server feels like a close community rather than a bunch of people playing single-player on the same map.
We have a map thats roughly a month old, although almost everyone is pretty much still equal on resources! Additionally, if you love collaborating on grand, beautiful community builds, creating redstone contraptions, or designing mob grinders, there is definitely still plenty of room for things like that on our server!
The map’s difficulty will be set to Hard, and the game rules will remain unchanged
(We do have one person sleep though, but we don't see that as gamebreaking)
Server Rules:
Applicants must be at least age 16
No griefing or stealing
No cheats or hacks. Mods that optimize or personalize the game (such as Optifine) are OK
Be respectful towards one another. No racism, sexism, religious intolerance, etc.
No killing other players, unless both parties have mutually consented to PvP
Pranking is allowed, unless the other party has requested otherwise
Clean up after yourself! (Includes everything from creeper holes to floating trees to dirt towers)
No bases In Spawn Chunks
No large bases within 1000 blocks of Spawn Town. (Residential area of Spawn Town excluded)
Don’t claim too much land at once in public districts. Claiming multiple large plots of land discourages and prevents other people from building.
Note: Use of Skype (Mobile App, or Computer Application) is mandatory!
Skype is where we post important server information, post announcements and details about server events, and generally communicate with the community.
Microphones are encouraged but not necessary!
If a griefing incident were to arise, a server backup (made daily) would be loaded.
Application format:
There is no formula for writing an application that will be accepted, as we are cautious with our new recruits, but here are some things to consider.
Put time into your application. If it looks like your application was written quickly or carelessly, we will not be impressed by it.
Make sure your application shows us some of your personality or gives us insight into the sort of person you are on and off Minecraft. We would like to get to know you and see how you can contribute to and add to our community.
In-game Name:
Age:
Location/Timezone:
Will you use Skype to communicate?(If so, Account name?):
Have you ever been banned from a Minecraft server? If so, please explain why:
Provide examples (eg. screenshots, or videos) of things you have built in the past: (Providing evidence of your past builds will greatly help your application!)
Write a few sentences about yourself: (If you're experiencing writer's block, here are some suggestions for what you can write about: Favorite thing to do on Minecraft? What are your best personality traits? Favorite subject or college major? What are your hobbies? Other games you like to play? Do you have any special talents?)
What qualities, skills, and/or contributions do you feel you would bring to the server?
Why do you want to join Skyfall SMP?
How often do you plan to play on the server?
Thank you so much for applying to our server and we hope to meet many of you soon! We will be recruiting people over the next few weeks and will try to get everyone’s applications. That way, no one feels left behind!
Will you use Skype to communicate? My skype is Shadowbunker but we should use Discord instead
Have you ever been banned from a Minecraft server? If so, please explain why: 3-4 years ago when I was less mature, I don't remember why
Provide examples (eg. screenshots, or videos) of things you have built in the past: I don't have any screenshots but I built a casino with working gambling machines once, as well as a post office and a giant gold star-shaped base in the sky. I'm usually nomadic when I play this game.
Write a few sentences about yourself: I'm very goofy and I love space and music.
What qualities, skills, and/or contributions do you feel you would bring to the server? I can gather resources, explore vast distances, contribute to conversation, and fill odd jobs. On one server I acted as a postman, delivering stuff for people. On another I was a travelling merchant. I come up with creative ideas that are usually dumb and fun but sometimes are technical and help the server. Like surrounding a village with cats so creepers don't walk in.
Why do you want to join Skyfall SMP? To have fun, I love vanilla survival multiplayer. I watched Mindcrack back in the day and have always wanted to play on a server like that.
How often do you plan to play on the server? Very often
Will you use Skype to communicate?(If so, Account name?): I just might. Same as IGN tho there may be a spare somewhere out there with the same name.
Have you ever been banned from a Minecraft server? If so, please explain why: Have I been banned? Yes, unfortunately I have. There have been multiple occurances, and please take heed that I've been doing some serious mileage on this game since just after beta... So, roughly 7-8 years? For explicit details and possible server IPs just PM me.
Provide examples (eg. screenshots, or videos) of things you have built in the past: (Providing evidence of your past builds will greatly help your application!) Honestly, I don't have much in the way of this tho I have 2-3 world backups from servers I used to own, and I can direct you to a few devs that I used to collab with frequently on servers such as RedSpin(no relation to naughty sites), ICMC, CrystalCraft, HoardersDelight(disbanded due to creative differences), and maybe 1 or 2 more? Oh! Original Primecraft. I found, modified, and helped set up spawn/transports before retiring due to time constraints.
Write a few sentences about yourself: (If you're experiencing writer's block, here are some suggestions for what you can write about: Favorite thing to do on Minecraft? What are your best personality traits? Favorite subject or college major? What are your hobbies? Other games you like to play? Do you have any special talents?) I'm a genuinely kind person, some would say generous but be aware I can be rather acerbic in more competitive games and occasionally that WILL bleed over due to a rough day/series of days. I'm an avid redstoner, with a specialty in mobspawn manipulation and infinte resource generation... I tend to be the guy that sets up the super ugly farms that give everyone the starting materials they need to go out into the world and build. I'm a big team player, and I don't mind taking the back seat so that someone else can shine, even if its in my game/vid.
What qualities, skills, and/or contributions do you feel you would bring to the server? Other than redstone and a massive urge to collab whenever possible? I'm capable of troubleshooting potential server issues based on the current release the server is on, such as possible lag crash solutions, hitbox glitching and tick lag. Although I should likely point out I'm coming off a hiatus where I set down my pickaxe so I'll be just slightly behind on the newest features and mechanics. With that said, I'm completely willing to set up more efficient voice chat options as skype is a MASSIVE bandwidth wasting program, even when run inside a desktop internet browser. Alternatives I generally use (and most definitely prefer) are Curse Voice, Discord, Teamspeak (outdated, but still nice), steam voice chat, Overwolf voice chat... And generally anything else.
Why do you want to join Skyfall SMP? Its a new-ish purely vanilla survival server. Its the perfect environment to get back into playing what has been one of my favourite games for the majority of my adolescence and currently into my adulthood.
How often do you plan to play on the server? Likely daily if I can manage it, but I believe it only fair to point out I have 3 children and that the youngest is now a whopping 3 days old... #ProudPappa. That said, there will be days I'm unable to clock many hours or log on at all.
*Additional thoughts? Likely I won't be selected, and if I am I won't be the centerpiece of the server. While that's all well and good for any community member, I believe you may be looking for more aggressive players who will explosively build and conquer the map in the early weeks before petering out into inactivity. I will be a LONG TERM player if this is going to turn into what I believe such a server can be even if odds are against it I do have hope (See? Not a cynic... Well, not in MC).

Balance is the key. You need some time away and we understand that. But once that's done? We'll meet you on any server (yes, even factions) with a sword in one hand, and a pickaxe in the other.

Have you ever been banned from a Minecraft server? If so, please explain why: Nope, thankfully.
Provide examples (eg. screenshots, or videos) of things you have built in the past: (Providing evidence of your past builds will greatly help your application!): Sadly, I didn't think of taking screenshots when I built stuff so no i don't have any. I do like to build though!

What are your best personality traits? Favorite subject or college major? What are your hobbies? Other games you like to play? Do you have any special talents?): I've been playing Minecraft for 6 years now, and I've become very experienced. I love to mess around with redstone and have done the redstone for the entire adventure map that my friends made last year, and I also like to build. In public places, I'm a major introvert. But for some reason, online I am a completely different person and I love to make new friends and talk to everyone on the server and be very active. I don't really play any other games besides Minecraft mostly because I'm not that big of a gamer. I also love to play modded minecraft so if we were to ever started a modded server i'll be right there.
What qualities, skills, and/or contributions do you feel you would bring to the server?: I think that I would be a major help on the server. Like I said in the above paragraph, I love to be active on SMPS and actually do stuff instead of just staying at my base doing my own stuff all day. If I were to get accepted, I would try to do big redstone projects that would benefit everyone on the server.
Why do you want to join Skyfall SMP?: I love meeting new people. Ever since I first joined Minecraft back in 2011 I made internet friends quickly on PMC and played on SMPS with them. Playing Minecraft is my passion and I love making new friends. Skyfall SMP looks like one of the most mature SMPS that I have ever seen and I think that it will be a fun time for everybody.
How often do you plan to play on the server?: Everyday, less on weekdays because of school but ill still be on a ton.

Accepted! Although I couldnt find your skype account, try adding joeydubois17!
I have not played for over a year, so i do not have any examples of prior builds. But i have been playing for nearly a decade now so i feel i have experience in game mechanics and design.
My name is Anthony, i have not played for a long while. Mostly due to the lack of quality servers or players recently. I sadly was the start of the downfall of the game as i was a 13 year old who wanted to be in charge and do everything. Now that the game is full of 12-13 year olds roleplaying as characters from another video game i have had little interest to return. I have just started my college studies to become an Astrophysicist and have a bit of free time.
I have a genuine desire to form a community of sorts with people, maybe in the form of a town or something. I know nearly everything about the game prior to 1.9 and know how to stay out of trouble.
I feel that the age restriction of this server will create a more quality environment to play in, so perhaps by joining here i can get back into the game and start enjoying it again. I strongly dislike most plugins (MCMMO, Towny, Factions, Heroes) so i would much rather playing in a more vanilla area.
As often as i can, i cannot give a guaranteed time i will play, but i will when i have time.
