Welcome to The Aery!

We're a brand new semi-vanilla server focused around progression, community and longevity.

1.17:Thanks to some well-made datapacks, we're able to have the beautiful caves and cliffs update in 1.17. Including lush caves, dripstone, vast chasms spanning from sea level to Y -64.

Server is hosted in France, Xeon E3-1245v2 (4c/8th) - 32GB DDR3 - SoftRaid 2x480GB SSD

World is 20k x 20k blocks

How to join: Hop into our discord, post your in-game name in our #whitelist-applications channel, and you'll be whitelisted and made a member as soon as possible! Rules and server info is available on the discord once you've been whitelisted!

Discord: https://discord.gg/K3BfcUaD

Progression: Recipes involving Netherite have been altered to reflect other tiers of armor / tools. These changes combined with additional ways of obtaining netherite scrap makes for an interesting progression and a more balanced economy.

Community: We hope that by providing frequent events, both in-game and out-of-game, and a welcoming discord / server, we can foster the growth of a wonderful community. All are welcome!

Longevity: A personal problem for me when playing on servers in the past was not knowing how long it would stay alive. I dreaded waking up one day and having all my hard work disappear because of something out of my control. I aim to put this problem to rest for me and anyone else with similar concerns. The server will not be shut down unless our host physically burns to the ground (Which it actually has...). In addition to the server remaining alive no matter how many active members it may have, we also will provide WorldEdit schematics of any large builds players make, so they can truly ensure that their work is safe.

Important Plugins:

• GriefPrevention
• AureliumSkills (/skills , /stats)
• CoreProtect
• Citizens (NPC traders)
• Essentials
• CustomTime (2x longer day, 4x faster night)
• AlchemicalArrows (Unique arrows)
• DeadSouls (Dying stores your items in a soul, which can only be collected by you for a period of time. /souls)
• NoBedExplosions
• EnchantmentsPlus (Formerly Zenchantments, Custom enchantments)

Other Important Features:

• Many normal commands are disabled in favor or more vanilla-friendly alternatives. Example: /spawn will not work, however a Warp Scroll (Spawn) can be purchased in spawn.
• Many bugs / glitches / exploits fixed!
• Improved vanilla world generation and nether generation (Nether now goes to Y-256!)
• Extended Render Distance: Currently set to 16 chunks
• Custom Items (Example: Golden Seed, rare drop from breaking crops with a hoe, can be sold for Scrap)
• NPC Shops
• A balanced (Hopefully) economy focused around Netherite Scrap
• Changed Recipes for Netherite (/recipes)
• Can no longer cycle through villager trades infinitely until you get the trade you want. Villagers also have a chance on zombification to turn into a normal zombie. So be careful trying to get those cheaper trades
• Alternate methods of obtaining Scrap, from farming, mining, trading, events and many more!

Welcome to The Aery!

- We're a brand new semi-vanilla server focused around **progression, community and longevity.

Progression: Recipes involving Netherite have been altered to reflect other tiers of armor / tools. These changes combined with additional ways of obtaining netherite scrap makes for an interesting progression. It also allows us to have an economy based on scrap. In Camp Haven (Spawn) you'll find several NPCs willing to buy and sell resources, services and gear for netherite scraps.

Community: We hope that by providing frequent events, both in-game and out-of-game, and a welcoming discord / server, we can foster the growth of a wonderful community. All are welcome!

Longevity: A personal problem for me when playing on servers in the past was not knowing how long it would stay alive.

In addition to the server remaining alive no matter how many active members it may have, we also will provide WorldEdit schematics of any large builds players make, so they can truly ensure that their work is safe. Finally our discord contains an ever-updating roadmap of what we plan to add / change in the coming months!

IGN: iFalcon

Age: 21

Country: Norway

What is your favourite thing to do in Minecraft?: I've always liked making large builds and terraforming landscapes, but I also enjoy exploring quite a bit.

How would you see yourself contributing to our community?: I enjoy building above most else in Minecraft, and would be happy to assist others in any projects they may have. I also love participating in and coordinating server-wide events; Everything from build competitions to scavenger hunts are always fun! It may not be much in the way of contributing, but I do enjoy talking to people through Discord and in-game.

What makes a good Minecraft community to you?: A good community consists of welcoming players and excellent staff who work together to keep the community a fun place to be a member of by ensuring rules are enforced and keeping it as non-toxic as possible. Active players and staff are a good sign of a good community.

Are you familiar with Discord? Are you comfortable using a microphone in a chatroom?: I've used Discord for quite a while and am looking forward to talking to others!

Tell us a little about yourself, an example would be other games you like to play or how you chose your IGN: For the most part, my hobbies consist of biking, watching videos on YouTube and playing Minecraft. I have also spent a bit of time playing Terraria, PUBG and CS:GO over the years, along with many other games. Recently I've been playing various modpacks and it's been a blast, but I've always preferred vanilla with plugins over modded. Aside from English I also understand Norwegian and, to an extent, Danish.

MC Name: iFalcon

Age: 20

Location or Timezone?: Norway

Do you meet the Requirements? / Do you agree to the Rules?: Yes and yes.

Share something about yourself: I enjoy biking, cooking and playing an unhealthy amount of video games!

How long have you played Minecraft for?: I started playing in Beta 1.1_02 and have been playing on and off for the past 5 years.

How often & when do you play MC?: I usually play for a couple of hours every day starting in the late afternoon.
Why do you play? What do you like to do / what are you good at?: I play mostly because I enjoy building and exploring. I've spent a lot of time on servers over the past few years and I enjoy configuring plugins and building with Worldedit and Voxelsniper, which is also what I'm good at.

Why do you want to join SurviveMC?: Many survival servers I've looked at in the past all showcase mediocre builds with inexperienced staff, but the towns you have on here look to be of a much higher quality. I enjoy building but usually have no one to share it with, but on a server populated with experienced builders, I think I'd feel right at home.

Are you a decent builder? Provide images: http://imgur.com/a/DGgih

(Optional) Do you have something in particular to offer the server?: Advice on configuring plugins, building tips and a new town to add to the list

(Optional) Anything else to add?: I am fluent in broken Norwegian.

(Optional) Discord username & # (alternative to contact you): Falcon#9701

Done a lot of work in the past few hours; Replaced Grief Prevention with Towny, implemented NPC's, started working on a Spawn / Market. Next goal is get a dungeon up and running. Would love a few people to help test out permissions!

NotFalcon

*Working Mic:

Wouldn't be caught without one.

*Age:

19

Gender:

Male

*Why are you interested in this project:

After a short hiatus I'm looking to get back into Minecraft. What appealed to me about this post is that I've played and been staff on each of those types of servers at least once. Just a small coincidence but made me remember the fun I've had over the years and it's time to make more memories. I enjoy helping communities grow and love meeting new people in the process. Seeing as these servers aren't out just yet, I have plenty of time to get to know people!

*How long have you been playing Minecraft:

I started in playing Single Player in Beta 1.2, and began playing SMP soon after. Hours-wise, I have to be close to 2,000 - 3,000 hours over the past 4 years.

Past Server Experience:

Showcasing all of my experience in detail would take days to write out, so I'll give a rundown of where I've been, what I've been and what happened to the servers.

TL;DR: 3-4 years of server administration experience, familiar with most big-name plugins and know a small bit of Java.

First real server: Smaller server called (Don't judge, not my name) Muppetsonweed. I stayed there for about a year and half-way through my time I received Admin. Back then it was just a simple factions server but we capped a few times at 200 players. The server owner decided not to continue it and the community died soon after.

Second server: Between this server and the Muppetsonweed one, I had been to a few others, but none lasted more than a month sadly. In December of 2012, A friend showed me a prison server called Prisontech. This later became part of the Techge3ks network, which had grown into a massive community. The primary prison had reached well over 400,000 unique players by the time it was shut down. (Actually just shut down around Aug. 14) On my first day there, I had applied for guard and was promoted that day. Part of that was due do a YouTuber named BrenyBeast putting a video out and the server exploded. Over 1-2 years of playing here I became an admin and (attempted to) manage the Factions server.

Other servers:

I've owned 3-4 servers that didn't do amazingly well

*How much time can you dedicate to this project:

2-3 hours per day I work, more on my days off.

*Please add any screenshots or portfolio links to this app. If you have a build server PM the IP and we will look.

Sadly, I don't have many pictures left. I recently reset my computer and saving Minecraft screenshots hadn't even crossed my mind. Here's a few I picked out of one's I had backed up that show my staff ranks (Jr.Warden was on the Prison server, the Mod rank was on a smaller server I hadn't included, only stayed a few months there.) Also: The picture with the three creeper heads is a redstone combination lock. The heads need the correct orientation to open the doorway off-screen. If you're interested I have a map I had been working on in my spare time that I could show you (Just need to find it...)
