Windward is a brand new semi-vanilla survival server looking to start a close knit community of friends! We love the vanilla game and we've all had awesome and long lasting friendships that sprouted from vanilla SMP servers. It's our goal to maintain the gameplay that we all know and love and foster a place where friendships can be made all while putting fun little twists on the vanilla game. We are currently 1.10, but will be upgrading to 1.11 within the next 2 days (the map will not be reset, as it's already brand new)!
If this sounds like the type of server you want to be a part of, just fill out the application below and you will be responded to ASAP!
Coins & The Shop
The first thing you'll notice that's different about Windward is that every hostile mob drops coins. These coins can be spent by typing /shop. The shop has a lot of cool cosmetic stuff such as particle trails, hats and custom made items such as magic 8 balls. More things will be added in the near future like pets, dice and titles!
Custom Plugins!
That's right, custom plugins! I (Caitiecola) am currently studying computer science and I am using Windward as a way to practice my programming. This means that lots of fun little additions will constantly be added to Windward, custom made by yours truly. It also means that I am always open to ideas that members might have for me! An example of one of these fun little additions is a craftable magic 8 ball with the recipe below!
The Skylands
The Skylands is a new dimension, like the nether, that consists of floating islands high up in the sky. The Skylands provide a totally new, and awesome world to play survival in. To get to the Skylands, all you have to do is craft an "enchanted feather" with the crafting recipe below...
mcMMO
mcMMO is one of our all time favorite plugins, but servers that have it might be hard to come by nowadays since it's now a paid plugin. We bought it because we love it. If you're not aware of what mcMMO is, it adds a variety of skills, such as woodcutting and fishing, for you to level up. As you level up, you'll become better at those skills and learn abilities that will help you do lots of activities, such as an ability that cuts down an entire tree in one fell swoop!
Reputation
PvP is not against the rules on Windward. We've always loved the idea of people forming alliances and possibly enemies as long as it's all in good spirit. The reputation system changes your title when you kill innocent people. If someone is feared, don't trust them. Likewise, if someone is a Vindicator, it means they've gone to great lengths to protect the innocent!
Skyblock
While we are not a Skyblock server, we do have Skyblock on our server for those times that you just need a break from your normal Minecraft
activities. Players can make a Skyblock island with /island. You can also invite your friends to join you, or compete against them on the leader board.
Our forums & website are currently in the works. For now, our Minecraft forum topic will be used for everything. If you have questions, concerns, suggestions or you just wanna talk about the server, leave your comments there!

We like to keep things simple when it comes to rules. We're very laid back, but there are still a couple rules that are as follows...
1.No griefing or stealing
2.No cheating or hacking
3.Respect others, even if they're your PvP enemy! We want Windward to always have a fun atmosphere.
4.Don't abuse bugs, report them to staff instead.
5.Don't beg for staff positions.
Just post your answers to the questions below and I will look at them ASAP!
1. What's your username? EnderTheXeno 2. How old are you? 19 3. Where are you from? I am from the US, Michigan to be exact. Same timezone as you 4. Have you ever been banned? If so, why? I have never been banned to the best of my knowledge. 5. How often can you play? I am in university, but I have ample time to play almost every day. 6. Why do you want to join us? I have played a few servers based around pirates/sailing and they have always interested me. My family actually comes from English pirates too. This seems like a very fun concept and I like that a white-list is in place because it creates a better, more fun atmosphere! Thank you for reading my application!

Hi there. My friend and I are looking for a small vanilla server to play on together to get back into Minecraft. She doesn't have a MC forums account so I hope its okay that I'm applying for the both of us. If not, then I can get her to sign up.

Have you ever been banned? If so why? Nope and nope!
How often can you play? I'd say at least a few hours every week. We both haven't played in a long time so it's hard to say. I guess it depends on how fun the server turns out to be! Thanks for considering us.
What are you looking for out of a server? Just a nice, small community of people to make friends and just enjoy the game with!
Didn't hit anyone off. Don't know what you are talking about...?

Step 1. Resolve Skype username.
Step 2. Put IP into an IP tracking website.
Step 3. Post location on forums.
All can be done with a 5 minute series of Google searches and no hacking experience whatsoever. Also, the location info is usually hundreds of miles off. 2spooky4me
1. I agree, I did kill people without permission.
2. I did inter peoples bases, but I left when they asked.
3. Starting fights over computer specs? I was just talking about it with Shaun. So if you consist of me bashing on Intel, and saying that I think AMD is better, then go ahead.
4. Haha..
5. Not my fault he can't run a peaceful server.
Dat broken "Minecraft tracker". Dat offline Skype resolver.
I'll be waiting for my internet to go off, but until then, you're still banned. 8^)
Still waiting on a reason..... But it's ok. I will still be here!
I'll list all of the reasons why you were banned.
- You killed people without their permission.
- You kept entering people's bases, ignoring their requests to leave. When you were asked to leave, you called them douches.
- You were starting fights over computer specs by fanboying a certain brand and calling everyone else's computers crappy.
- You threatened to DDoS, doc drop, swat and steal the credit card info of whoever griefed you, and even though you can't do any of that stuff and griefing is also reprehensible, that just showed how immature you are.
- You yelled at Vectimyr for not refunding your items fast enough after the rollback, even though he was busy with everyone else.
TL;DR This is a mature server and you are not mature at all.

Windward is undergoing a re-imagining. There will be another thread posted soon. If a mod sees this, feel free to delete it.
