Hello TheKingOfPop2!

Thank you for resubmitting your ban request on the date mentioned from your previous unban.

I am willing to unban you on these conditions listed below

• Promise to never ever use X-ray again. If you do, your punishment next time will be much harsher!
• Have your emp reset to 0
• Have all your iron+ removed
• Serve 4 hours of untrusted(limited commands)
• Tell more 2 rules from here.

You have one week to respond to this unban request. Failure to do so will mean this unban will be locked with no unban and you'd have to resubmit an unban appeal.

[December 1st, 2023.]

Hello TheKingOfPop2. I was the one who banned you for X-ray.

I first want to say thank you for cooperating with me and giving no fuss on handing over your items.

As you know, we take x-ray extremely serious on SFT and that comes with very stern punishments. X-ray is an unfair advantage to our playerbase and that is why we take it so seriously to begin with. However, you cooperating with me about the X-ray will help your case very much and the outcome of your general unban.

With that said, as a veteran player you definitely know better & our rules here on SFT and how extreme we take X-ray situations. Since we take these situations very seriously, I'd like you to submit a new unban at least 1 week from now which should not be posted anytime sooner then December 1st, 2023.

Locking.

Hello birds and penguins, ponies and zebras!

This weekly event is Connect 4 & will be hosted Sunday, at 1PM EST!
We will be having 3 to 5 rounds dependent on outcome

Each round will be worth $100,000 plus some arcade vouchers!
Vouchers can be redeemed for cool and unique items -- including some store perms!

See you there!   

Prizes have been awarded. Thank you for taking part in this years Halloween build! 

Hello SFT community!

For the holidays, starting October 22nd and ending November 8th we have added Pyromining Shards as a reward redeemable via Arcade vouchers!
30 vouchers will give you one Pyromining Shard.

These shards will help spawn in The Unknown of one of the four variants that will drop anything from Zeta to rare vessels and other rare drops!

You will need 10 of these to spawn in "The Unknown Variant"
More info about "The Unknown" can be found here.

Any admin+ can help in the redemption process.
Feel free to make a ticket in the discord(currently in survival-feedback) or ask online when any admin+ is present

Happy Halloween!

Hello Zupercri, you were banned by @rookieace97 for griefing.

I looked into the area you griefed, and the structure you griefed was a beacon foundation which belonged to Maya546 and litgamer -- the protection didn't cover the portion you broke. You also told Rookie the blocks were yours now, since they were not protected when he asked you to return them.

I have notified Rookiece97 of your unban request, please give him some time to reply. Thanks!

Groot_69 informed me he'll be inactive for about a month due to work.

Hello survival community!

The staff team & community have been working hard on this project for the last few months.
We are happy to announce the "Helpers Guild!"

What is the Helpers Guild?
It's a community guild to help out new joins by donating items to the donation chest; provided by the entrance to the left. Items will then be organized and distributed into the chests to their appropriate category for guests to use!
Items may include - building blocks, food, armor, tools, misc items, and more!

We also have some interactive information books & signs with additional information about our server!
You can find out about PyroMining, PyroFishing, MCMMO, Emporium, Autoshops, Public Farms & Guesttown!

Anyone is welcome to donate items at /warp HG
To donate, simply warp and go to the left(away from the staircase) and there is a chest for donations! 🙂

New to SFT?
Simply take the staircase to your slight right, go up and the chests are labeled with items!

[Whats the catch?]

Hello Survival!

As many of us know SFT has been around for the last 10 years and that is a major milestone!
Over the years SFT has become a smaller community and while that is fine, we thought it'd be awesome to reward YOU to bring your friends to SFT!
Our survival relies on you and the more players we have, the longer SFT will be around!

This offer is valid to any rank and not restrictive - if you're an elite, you qualify! An owner who refers their friend? You also qualify! Are you a guest who referred a friend? You too qualify! Your friend must meet our requirements posted below is all

Whats the catch?
Any friend you bring to SFT must get 6hrs of uptime on survival for you both to qualify for this prize!

What do I get?
You get 50k for each friend that gets 6hr of uptime on survival!

Do my friends get anything?
Each friend that hits 6hr of uptime will also get 15k!

How many friends can I refer for 50k?
There is no limit, you may refer everyone at your school if you wish!
As long as each friend gets 6hr of uptime on survival, you both will qualify!

I recently referred my friend, do I still qualify?
If you referred your friend in the last 30 days, you can qualify for this referral system!

You will not qualify if you do the following!
-Use an alt for the referral program
-Your friend must not be using a VPN for the first 6h so we can tell for sure it is a true referral and not people cheating the system

Refer a friend fillout form!

If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask below! Happy referring

-Reduce summerheat and raise winter temps. Even if their own biomes.

-Changing the color palette wouldn't hurt.

If I think of more I'll add.

[Base Temperatures]

Hello survival community!

The team is super proud to bring you the new Seasons plugin and allow you to experience a unique gameplay filled with realistic similarities to real life while giving a more survival feel overall!

But what is Seasons and how does it work? Well, we will break it down for you!

Seasons is a plugin that allows you to experience all 4 seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall! Each season has their own pros and cons and you must adapt to the new seasons as they change. With no further ado lets get into some tips and tricks and further information about this plugin!

Base Temperatures

Winter Temp varies from 5C down to -10C

Spring Temp varies from 5C to 23C

Summer Temp varies from 20C all way up to 40C

Fall Temp varies from 5C up to 20C!

But other things like running, swimming, drinking amongst other things all have effects on how cold or hot you get!

Sprinting/Running Adds +5C to your current temperature
Going into any body of water Will reduce your temperature by -10C in Summer and Winter and only -4C in Spring and Fall!
Drinking water Gives you a cooldown buff if your temperature is 25C or hotter for 5 minutes real life time bringing your temperature down instantly by -15C!
Full Hunger Bars Gives a +10C buff if temperature is lower then 25C
Block lights Add 0-30C until temperature is 25C
Rain Reduces your temperature by -4C
Storms Reduces your temperature by -5C

Armor
All clothing add the following warmth buffs up to 25C
Leather will add +20C instantly to you - ideal winter clothing!
Iron, Gold and Diamond Armor only add +10C to your temperature
Netherite only adds +8C to your temperature

Farms and Crops

Now you may ask yourself what about farms, how are they effected?

Winter All outdoor crop growth is stunted; bonemeal won't work when winter arrives! However, indoor farms will allow crop growth and bonemeal will work.

Spring Everything is growing! Flowers are flourishing, and crops do grow, just at a delayed rate! Potatoes and carrots you may notice take a bit longer to reach maturity.

Summer Everything is growing like weeds and you'll notice normal speeds for crop growth! You may notice berry bushes blooming too!

Fall Just like Spring you'll notice a delay with some crops like potatoes and carrots taking a bit longer to reach maturity.

Saplings however should grow year around, you may notice some delays in certain seasons though!

How long do the days last? How long does each Season last?

Unlike vanilla minecraft days where each days lasts 20 minutes real life time, in Seasons each day will last 40 minutes giving a more realistic feel to the game and allow you to experience the Seasons even longer!

December: Daytime; 18 minutes Nighttime; 22 minutes
January: Daytime; 17 minutes Nighttime; 23 minutes
February: Daytime; 18 minues Nighttime; 22 minutes
March: Daytime; 19 minutes Nighttime; 21 minutes

April: Daytime; 20 minutes Nighttime; 20 minutes
May: Daytime; 21 minutes Nighttime; 19 minutes
June: Daytime; 22 minutes Nighttime; 18 minutes
July: Daytime; 23 minutes Nighttime; 17 minutes

August: Daytime; 22 minutes Nighttime; 18 minutes
September: Daytime; 21 minutes Nighttime; 19 minutes
October: Daytime; 20 minutes Nighttime; 20 minutes
November: Daytime; 19 minutes Nighttime; 21 minutes

Each season has about 72 minecraft days
Which gives each season about 2 days real life time to cycle thru or 48 real life hours or 2,880 minutes
Overall view and feel of each season

Winter will have a blue-greenish color to leaves and the ground. The sky will appear a bit more white to give it a wintery feel. All exposed water will have a thin layer of ice across when winter arrives. It will snow instead of rain and snow will be a bit more common. Crops will not grow unless indoors. You may also notice more wolves, polar bears, and snowmen around!

Spring will be lustful in flowers - they are everywhere! Bees will be out and about collecting honey. The world will appear in beautiful pink spring leaves, flowers, and a light-blue tint to the waters.

Summer all biomes will have light-blue waters and the sky will appear a bit lighter - leaves in most biomes will get the color of jungle leaves. Spring flowers will disappear and patches of summer berries will appear! Outdoor farms will yield crops 2x faster then indoor farms. Jungle animals will be in every biome and the weather will be clear and beautiful!

Fall will bring much needed rain. Trees will turn into all kinds of colours: orange, blue-green-ish, green, yellow and brown and grass will appear a bit darker and muddy. The sky will linger in grey, giving it the fallish feel! Bats will spawn at night and more spiders(and even cave spiders!) will spawn at night - you may notice even foxes and mooshrooms too!

Temperature effects

Freezing effects -10C will give you increased hunger, -15C will give you slowness and -20C will give you frostbite damage! You'll lost half a heart due to frostbite every second until you warm back up.

Spring effects When your temperature is between 15-30C you'll get 2 extra hearts of health!

Heat effects 55C will not let you heal, so you'll need to lower your temperature to heal back up! 60C will give you slowness and 65C you'll start suffering signs of heatstroke; you will take damage and lose half a heart every second until you get 64C or lower in temperature!

Each biome has their own pros and cons; example a desert biome in summer will be much hotter then a summer birch forest or taiga biome.
A desert biome will be much warmer in winter then a summer birch forest or taiga biome in winter!
But no matter the biome, winter will yield no crops unless it is indoors!

I hope this new chapter in your life brings you good things and a positive outlook. We'll truly miss you, and SFT won't be the same without you </3 goodluck buddy, I hope life brings you good things!

[unlocked]

Hello SFT community!

A player reported to me of items being shot out of item frames by skeletons, so I looked into it myself and figured out the cause.
Skeletons and players can shoot items out of frames if they are unlocked
Skeletons and players CANNOT if they are locked with /cprivate

To prevent your items from being shot out(and possibly disappear forever!) we are highly encouraging you make sure all your item frames are locked with /cprivate - you can use /cpersist to have this command repeat until you turn it off with /cpersist again.

Have fun playing guys!

While I'm not sure how direct this is, to what is being asked. World resets do help majorly in SFT - it allows players to build new and improved buildings, get rid of "inactive builds" that have been abandoned(but can have an active owner/player), and allows us to keep up to date on new MC releases and keep SFT up to par with newly added items and worlds!

TL;DR Without adding any worlds, how could we improve our current world layout?

Without world resets, I am not sure how this is possible at its best experience. Only suggestion is reseting SW, nether, and theend...SW could have some resources w1/w2 does not, but longrun I am not too sure myself...I personally agree with Autpek as well.

Mobs(any that use projectiles) can one shot players in full diamond gear... annoying as f.

@Mazeworker mobs are now set on normal mode in w1 and w2 and hardmode in theend, nether and sw That should take care of the one-shot in diamond armor as many were dying instantly without a chance to fight back!

@Kakota FYI, 1.8.9 would be the best version to play on (not 1.8., although ik the server is 1.8.8 cause for some reason the only 1.8 version of paper was that.

I tested it with 1.8.9 and it works! I'll update the post with this

Mini-games release postponed for now, its not yet ready.

Hello everyone! We are really excited to announce this.

*intense drumroll...*

We are releasing Minigames this weekend!
Let's give our Minigames build team a huge shoutout for putting in the time to make this possible!

The server currently has BedWars on 1.8.8 for an old pvp-style. We are planning on adding more exciting minigames in the future!

We all hope you enjoy this awesome minigame and hope to release future ones if you all enjoy BedWars! Do you want to see any minigames or other things added? Let us know below!

Note to anyone wanting to play - Minigames will require 1.8.9 to play, since we are using the old combat system. You will have to create a profile for 1.8.9 on the MC Launcher.

Additional information will come this week!

We hope you have a lot of fun!

It's kind of a suggestion although it might sound stupid. I feel like the Emporium should sell ores. I sometimes have a hard time finding ores (mainly emerald ores) for my autoshop. I would be helpful to like just go to Emp, buy it real quick. That way i can keep my store stockedu p and the community happy! Just a suggestion, I would understand if it would be denied.

While your suggestion is great and would make a great additional the Emporium, there are a few reasons it isn't added. Sometimes when you mine one ore, you get a double drop(so you get 2) and also, with fortune(2 or 3) you can get several item forms out of one ore and make a decent profit to the emp. So finding a price to balance it would be a bit tricky and a possible way to become rich off the system currently. But lovely suggestion!

I feel like the tolerance level for people who break the rules is too high. I myself have seen first hand that too many warnings are given before someone gets kicked or banned. This is especially true on the Discord server, although it certainly does happen on the Minecraft server. If the tolerance level for rule breakers was lower and action were be taken more quickly, I guarantee you that there would be so much less toxicity on the server and would overall make the community a lot better. I love this community more than you know and I want nothing more than to see it thrive and for it to be a safe place for people to go to when they are dealing with issues in their life.

I'll bring this up to the manager+ team

i have a suggestion maybe admins and managers should holkd a contest to make a datapack for the survival server it may sound stupid but  i think it would be pretty cool

I'll bring this up the team to see how doable this is!

Can we bring in Micro Blocks... like the ones I've seen on the Hermit Craft videos.

And allow the Traveling Trader trades (For the micro blocks) I think it would be a neat idea to have something else to collect.

I'll look into this and see if I can find an updated version!
