Insula Nostra is a survival multiplayer (SMP) realm that encourages player cooperation and teamwork. We call our realm insula nostra, Latin for our island, because we all live on one island that we share together. This means that there are a lot of group builds and shared resources, and that you can always find some other players simply by walking around our tiny island.
Guidelines
Survival mode for everyone: No one's flying around in creative mode or spawning diamonds for anyone. We've gathered and built everything in survival mode. This also means that the day/night mechanics and the weather aren't ever altered.
Exceptions: I have flown around in spectator mode in order to take pictures. And I have spawned some items that are impossible to get due to the limitations of the island's sole biome (e.g., cocoa, cactus, etc.)
World border: As of May 31, the world border is set at 345x345 around the island. That's pretty small! It's probably not going to change drastically any time soon; however, in the future, when we run out of space on the island, we will probably gradually expand the world border, and then we can move onto other islands as well as the mainland.
Some anti-griefing measures: PVP and fire spread are off. This is to prevent someone from killing other people or setting fire to any wooden buildings.
Mobs are tough: The difficulty is set to hard, so mobs can pack a punch! Additionally, creepers will explode and they will make holes in the ground.
A realm, for now: If we get enough active people, we might move to a server one day so that we can move more than ten people online at a time!
Mature players: We're looking for players who are 16+. This is just because most players on our server are adults and we think we'll all get along better if we're around the same age.
Respecting our environment: If you're chopping a tree, chop it all down. Fill in creeper holes. Don't build a giant, grotesque dirt structure that makes our island look bad. These are just some common examples of how we all respect the environment.
Rules
Don't grief.
Don't hack.
Common mods like Optifine or a minimap are totally fine. Just don't be flying around or use x-ray or anything like that.
Don't find ways to kill people (e.g., lava, TNT, pushing off a cliff, etc.)
Don't steal from other people.
Don't spam the chat.
Don't harass anyone.
It's fine to have negative opinions of other people, but if you're repeatedly attacking them, that's just mean.

We've got a few active players, and we're looking for more! If you want to join, fill out the application below and post it!

I think this is an awesome idea. I would love to be part of it. I am 36, yes, I'm old. Married, house, 4 kids, 2 dogs, typical old person stuff. My 9 year old got me addicted to minecraft. I have built all kinds of redstone contraptions, exp farms, large scale builds.. But honestly my favorite builds are small structures with lots of landscaping and detail. I love roads, pathways, and bridges. I love the idea of community builds and living together in a defined area. I have never tried this single island idea but I think it could be a lot of fun. I am off for the evening but I will check back with you in the morning. Have fun, I think this is a very creative idea.
edit: just remembered I didn't include my IGN : Sryyn

Hello! My in-game name is aaronmhite. I am 20 years old from the US. I love to work on community builds as well as go on random adventures with other members such as ocean monument raids and whatnot. Been searching for a home.

Hey, thanks for your interest, but I'm not sure that it's a good fit.

I'm Gov [IGN: Gov], an 18-year-old mob farm enthusiast from the west coast. This looks like an incredible opportunity to have a lot of fun and work with the nuances of a smaller world, including the scaling back of some of my standard ideas to fit the miniaturized scale of such a world. I'd love an opportunity to be a part of your community and contribute to making Insula Nostra grand!
Question, though: how are other dimensions handled? Is the End inaccessible? If we got to either the End or the Nether, would they be limited in scope, too?

I haven't been to the Nether, but someone mentioned yesterday that there's a border. As for the End, I think it's inaccessible right now because there's a stronghold. There's a good possibility we'll increase the world border in the future, and if we find a stronghold, it'll become accessible to us then.

This is an awesome idea. Survival on an island. You should get a decent amount of interest - I only hope there is still a spot for me. I would love to see how this plays out.

Heya! I'm looking for a new realm to play in, since it's been an eternity since I've played Minecraft! xP
I'm 13, and would like to experience Minecraft again with a new group of friends.
Building, doing random things, goofing off, and just have fun in general.
Well... that's it.
