Are you familiar with Discord? What is your Discord ID?: Yes, Amnesia #4677, familiar with the use of it and use it daily.
How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: Through this forum. I thought the community introduction looks promising. I want to be involved with a server that has community focus and has dedicated userbase of builders. I'm a fan of series like HermitCraft and wish to join a like-minded server with other builders who aspire towards community oriented projects.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I build to the landscape usually (I don't like random floating blocks or leaving trees unfinished... I prefer aestheticism when possible). I'm most familiar with woodland style buildings, dabbled in "hobbit" builds and ranch style buildings. I'm mindful of the landscape and would build into the natural biome for increased builder immersion. For added challenge I have built a self-sustainable colony on Mars on DatBlock server before it was wiped which was harder then vanilla SMP. Playing that server taught me useful principles.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? It's my most preferred mode as it's closest to the core experience plus its multiplayer
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Yes, I have a fair few years playing SMP. It's the mode I'm most familiar with and enjoy. I love seeing other player builds, interactions and the core experience that comes with SMP mode. I want to be engrossed in world immersion.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? Art and illustration. I tend to work on my own manga/graphic novel projects.

In Game Name: Doopliss_ Age: 19 Country: United States (East Coast) Are you familiar with Discord? What is your Discord ID?:Very familiar with Discord, been a user for a few years now. Helped run/set up a few servers as well. My id is:
Grynn#1111 How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: I was browsing the forums here looking for an active SMP with a focus on community, and you guys stood out to me. The video linked in the post too gave me a glimpse into some of the past projects done on previous worlds, and it really impressed me with the scope and detail with some of the projects.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?: In terms of bases, I tend to build underground. Kind of lame, I know; but it gives me a lot of freedom to add on and edit how I please, as opposed to a building where I might be restricted based upon the look and feel of the build. To balance this out, I very much enjoy building towns. In my latest singleplayer world I was focused on building a fishing town that had been frozen over, and them having to transition from regular fishing to frozen fishing and ice mining. I enjoy making cute little towns and creating lore for them, so it balances out my building underground base wise.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?: I think my favorite part of Vanilla Minecraft is building. What draws me to the server though is the fact that I can see what other people are building and they can see what I'm building, which helps me improve as a builder. I like feeling apart of a world that's evolving even when I'm not online, and going and seeing other builds as they continue to grow. So it's not really a vanilla aspect that's drawing me to the server per say (since I can just build in a singleplayer world), but more so the multiplayer aspect and community.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?: Back when I was younger I would co-run some modded and vanilla worlds with a friend of mine. It was basically all I did lol. We had a niche friendgroup but we would always create a server to draw more people in and had fun. We would do some modded packs like Feed the Beast or we would make our own custom packs and play with gun mods like Flans and build bases and go to war. I ran my own vanilla server for a few months called Autonomous SMP, and I did some pretty ambitious builds but the server only lasted a few months and I wasn't able to keep it up. I haven't really played multiplayer Minecraft since then, but I'm excited to get back into the multiplayer feel of things!
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?: I usually just play other games, such as Team Fortress 2, Destiny 2, Terraria, ect. I have a job but it's part time so I don't work a whole bunch. I'm taking a break from college at the moment since towards the end of the year I'll be moving to be with my girlfriend. Team Fortress 2 probably takes up the most of my time since I play it competitively, last year I was the fifth best Engineer player in the North American league. So I play often and matches take up a big portion of my time.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: Found it on MCForums
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?: I used to build a lot of sky or cave bases. Now, I'm switching to more mountain bases. However, I would also like to expand and work on building villages and harbors. I have a big idea on how to do a base and I want a great server to build it on. This looks like just the place!
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?: I'm returning to the game after a long time. I never liked mods because they overcomplicate the game. With vanilla, we can focus on the basics and just have fun with what the game offers. I like seeing the limits of what the game can do.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?: Yup! I used to play on a Whitelist server (a couple of them actually but many got shut down). I also have played with my friends in a long term world when I was younger.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?: I love to watch basketball and movies. I've also been learning how to cook during this break. Overall, I just like to do anything with my friends. If this server is anything like the Whitelist servers I've been on when I was younger, I think this community will be super fun as I get to find a committed community.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: Browsing the minecraft forums
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I love contouring my builds to show off the area and biome around me. Not always large, but smart, practical and pretty.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? The ability to be creative without limits. Every world and every project is done differently.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I played on a similar server before it was shut.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? Painting and skating.
Are you familiar with Discord? What is your Discord ID?: Yes i am. My discord ID is XWW#7537
How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: I was a proud member of Sanctuary Season 6, but kinda completely lost any interest in playing minecraft towards season end. Also real life stuff kicked in. Now it's all fine and i feel nostalgia and an urge to join this awesome community again
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? Mostly modern style but i have experience with many others. As you may remember i enjoy building rather small but detailed objects, or going for something large but grindy like nether tunnels.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? I can have fun with all aspects of minecraft SMP, but after so many years of playing the game on and off i can say i mostly enjoy building. Especially building with others.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Oh yeah. Besides Sanctuary i've played at quite a few minecraft servers in the past and even hosted my own once. And this time i would like to join a group of active players who work on a big project together (be it some medieval town or 10kForge-style clan) rather than just live in my own base on the side.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? Im a hardcore cycling fan, both road and offroad.
P.S.: The intro post made me unclear about whether did you start Season 7 with a completely fresh map (as it was originally planned) or just resetted the nether and kept that one-hell-of-a-mess we had in overworld? xD
I like to build using as much materials as I can and using a lot of detail
I enjoy the creative aspect with endless options
Yes, I gave played a few different servers but none stay active long enough for me to experience the server to it's fullest
Aerial, Running, Painting

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: My brother, FelixDaSurvivor, had told me that this is a great survival server and that I should try to join.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I like to build bases in a more modern style. Most of the bases that I have built before were on mountains. I love building these because of the view I get lol! Me and Felix have a great idea in mind and we think that this server is the best to pursue it. I also want to build games and shops that everyone can use.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? I like to build and mods make everything harder. Also, the fact of just having a good time with everyone is fun. I want a community that I can trust and this server looks perfect.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Yes. I have played in SMP's before and have enjoyed them a lot. I hope this can emulate that.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I am actually a big foodie! I love to try different foods. Another activity of mine that I like to do is hang out with my friends. Lastly, I like to watch NBA with my brother. (Go Celtics!)

In Game Name: Algapond Age: 20 Country: Turkey Are you familiar with Discord? What is your Discord ID?: I use it from time to time. My ID is Algapond#7907 How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: I was browsing the forum to see if there is an active and mature community that I can join and I came across this topic. From what I see, I am interested.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?
I generally use medieval style but whenever I start to build something, I find myself doing extra underground building beneath the whole thing (like a secret laboratory or a hidden and sacred library). I don't know why but I just like to build hidden things that I made up stories about in my mind.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?
Mostly the simplicity of it. Mods and plugins are cool but most of the time they either overcomplicate the game and make it harder than it is supposed to be or make it so easy that it gets boring. For me vanilla is the perfectly balanced gameplay experience. And I just like to share this experience with good people around me.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?
Yes, 2011-2012 times were great. I made some good friends back then. We were a non-Minecraft community that is based on another game but one day we decided to open a Minecraft server and just play altogether. The server ran for a few months, maybe a year. I don't remember the duration clearly, but I remember the good memories we shared there. It was really awesome, I wish I could return to that days. Now everybody is elsewhere.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?
I'm studying biology, so most of my free time I do research and browse articles about my field. But other than that, I write some stories or short poems from time to time. I just like to travel different worlds in my mind. It makes me relax for a while.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: Found it on MCForums
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?: I used to build a lot of sky or cave bases. Now, I'm switching to more mountain bases. However, I would also like to expand and work on building villages and harbors. I have a big idea on how to do a base and I want a great server to build it on. This looks like just the place!
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?: I'm returning to the game after a long time. I never liked mods because they overcomplicate the game. With vanilla, we can focus on the basics and just have fun with what the game offers. I like seeing the limits of what the game can do.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?: Yup! I used to play on a Whitelist server (a couple of them actually but many got shut down). I also have played with my friends in a long term world when I was younger.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?: I love to watch basketball and movies. I've also been learning how to cook during this break. Overall, I just like to do anything with my friends. If this server is anything like the Whitelist servers I've been on when I was younger, I think this community will be super fun as I get to find a committed community.
Hey thanks for the application FelixDaSurvivor! We are looking foward to talking to you! Please check your dms.

What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I love contouring my builds to show off the area and biome around me. Not always large, but smart, practical and pretty.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: I was a proud member of Sanctuary Season 6, but kinda completely lost any interest in playing minecraft towards season end. Also real life stuff kicked in. Now it's all fine and i feel nostalgia and an urge to join this awesome community again
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? Mostly modern style but i have experience with many others. As you may remember i enjoy building rather small but detailed objects, or going for something large but grindy like nether tunnels.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? I can have fun with all aspects of minecraft SMP, but after so many years of playing the game on and off i can say i mostly enjoy building. Especially building with others.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Oh yeah. Besides Sanctuary i've played at quite a few minecraft servers in the past and even hosted my own once. And this time i would like to join a group of active players who work on a big project together (be it some medieval town or 10kForge-style clan) rather than just live in my own base on the side.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? Im a hardcore cycling fan, both road and offroad.
P.S.: The intro post made me unclear about whether did you start Season 7 with a completely fresh map (as it was originally planned) or just resetted the nether and kept that one-hell-of-a-mess we had in overworld? xD

Thank you for your application katsper_, your application is a little lacking so I'm going to reject it for the moment. Feel free to reapply or edit your application.
Thank you for your application Gowzyy, please check your PM's for more information!
Welcome back MMXWW, thank you for applying. We started Season 7 with a fresh map before 1.16 launched, and then reset the nether when we updated the server.
Please check your PM's for more information!
Cool! Can't wait to come back and see you guys when i'll be back from work in around 5 hours.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: My brother, FelixDaSurvivor, had told me that this is a great survival server and that I should try to join.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I like to build bases in a more modern style. Most of the bases that I have built before were on mountains. I love building these because of the view I get lol! Me and Felix have a great idea in mind and we think that this server is the best to pursue it. I also want to build games and shops that everyone can use.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? I like to build and mods make everything harder. Also, the fact of just having a good time with everyone is fun. I want a community that I can trust and this server looks perfect.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? Yes. I have played in SMP's before and have enjoyed them a lot. I hope this can emulate that.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I am actually a big foodie! I love to try different foods. Another activity of mine that I like to do is hang out with my friends. Lastly, I like to watch NBA with my brother. (Go Celtics!)
Thanks for your application LavaSoldier! I look forward to seeing what you and your brother have in mind for a project together! We'll talk to you soon. Please check your PM's.
Great to have you back in the group! I'll see you on server!

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: I was browsing the forum to see if there is an active and mature community that I can join and I came across this topic. From what I see, I am interested.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style?
I generally use medieval style but whenever I start to build something, I find myself doing extra underground building beneath the whole thing (like a secret laboratory or a hidden and sacred library). I don't know why but I just like to build hidden things that I made up stories about in my mind.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP?
Mostly the simplicity of it. Mods and plugins are cool but most of the time they either overcomplicate the game and make it harder than it is supposed to be or make it so easy that it gets boring. For me vanilla is the perfectly balanced gameplay experience. And I just like to share this experience with good people around me.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities?
Yes, 2011-2012 times were great. I made some good friends back then. We were a non-Minecraft community that is based on another game but one day we decided to open a Minecraft server and just play altogether. The server ran for a few months, maybe a year. I don't remember the duration clearly, but I remember the good memories we shared there. It was really awesome, I wish I could return to that days. Now everybody is elsewhere.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy?
I'm studying biology, so most of my free time I do research and browse articles about my field. But other than that, I write some stories or short poems from time to time. I just like to travel different worlds in my mind. It makes me relax for a while.
Thanks for your application Algapond. Sounds like we are exactly the community you are looking for. We look forward to chatting with you! Please check your PM's.
