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

[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

[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!

[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!

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!

[This has already been discussed with and approved by Towelie.]

Hi everyone! I have released keyfobs and can do drink coasters in these designs too upon request!
30% of all profits will go directly back to SFT to help the server 

All keyfobs are custom made - choose the thread color(s), and even button color!
I am selling these on my Etsy for domestic and International can be done via PayPal!
I can ship these pretty much anywhere in the world via First-class mail with insurance.

For those wanting to buy outside the USA, please contact me on discord Kakota#2524 to discuss shipping prices & total payment price!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/CustomLove2015?ref=seller-platform-mcnav&section_id=29230471
(The long wait times on my Etsy are just for the custom ones due to COVID19 delays & to ensure the customer is happy before shipment!
Most will ship within the week for instock supplies!)

Hello everyone!

I know there was a poll about this before, but we are redoing it!

Please comment below why you'd like to see this on SFT or why you wouldnt!
When you think of SFT, do you think of it having bedwars or do you not?
If we added bedwars, would it effect you staying or would you leave?

Please give your honest input, we want to know why you'd want this added or why you don't want it added! Can be for any reason at all, we want to know if its worth adding

We came across a very neat bedwars plugin that would work similar to our other minigames like /murder /terminal /rooftops etc on how it'd work!

This plugin in will be a minigame and work like the ones mentioned above ie you will not loose your levels, items, etc.

[How does this work?]

Hello survival players of SFT!

We are very excited to announce our Secret Santa for 2020!
First off, lets give a big shoutout to @TheStarNomad✯ for designing this years Secret Santa!

How does this work?
Contact any mod+ online and request a chest to be placed for you!
Once the mod removes the lock, you simply do /cdonation and tada! The chest is yours
No one can take back what they placed - so no risk of being stolen!

You can leave anyone a gift in their marked chest by simply opening it and placing the item in there
All names are in Alphabetic order to easily find your friends. There are warp signs located at the beginning and on the floors on the posts outside the rooms!

What happens if you put the wrong item in there?
Inform an admin+ ASAP to retrieve it for you!

When does this event end?
December 24th is the final day of gift giving!

How long can I claim my gifts?
Until January 8th, all unclaimed items will be left at your /home via an admin+

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact TheStarNomad via ingame or discord The Star Nomad ✦ ᛖᛚᛋ - ᛖᚾᛞᛖᚱ#8100
