Welcome to the Old Bastion — a private hard-mode-survival community with a focus.

The Old Bastion is a brand new whitelisted hard difficulty vanilla survival server with the goal of building up a beautiful world as a small, tight-nit community of mature adults over the long haul. Survive from the darkness, gather materials, and build the homes, towns, cities and monuments of your dreams as part of the community. This means you should have some skills in building to show in your application. It should also be said that the Old Bastion has a strict 18+ policy. We also desire members who can play around the oceanic time-zones.

Myself and any future moderators will all be playing in survival mode alongside everyone else. The only time creative will be used is for moderation purposes and content production (i,e. screenshots, etc). The only time it was used to spawn in blocks was for the spawn point circle.

Origin Story
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, a lone man sought to find a place that he could call home. Unfortunately for him, he would always find certain aspects of these servers that left much to be desired. He wanted a place where he could let his imagination roam free alongside a small yet mature community that endeavours to do the same, all whilst having some good fun. He also doesn’t appreciate how most servers are often modded to hell and back with plugins. He very much prefers a minimalist approach to the use of plugins. So this is how the Old Bastion came to exist. It is a server that will scratch his itch and potentially scratch the itch of others as well . The only plugin currently enabled is Paper for its performance improvements. There may be a permissions plugin at some point simply for management purposes.

Rules:

– Do not touch other members builds or items unless you have permission to do so.
– Keep the terrain and generated structures as tidy as possible.
– Respect your fellow members.
– Be mature in your actions and interactions.
– Do not discuss politics, ideologies or potentially controversial issues that would dampen everyone’s mood. This place is aimed at being a positive place to escape from life a bit.
– No hacks or scripts are allowed (includes afk fishing and afk mob grinding scripts). Optifine and other quality of life/visual mods are fine though.
