You have died. The death was not natural. You were killed, whether it was by someones blade or by your own clumsyness. And as you died, the world around you began to spiral into darkness. You felt like you were falling backwards.. Though, what seemed strange is that you landed. You landed on a large white, circular, platform. And you were not alone. A few meters away stood a woman? She seemed rather odd.. She was completely white, lacking a mouth and many features, as if she was made of energy. She wore a white dress, had short black hair, and glowing blue eyes and she stood there, looking at you patiently, offering you a single hand. You felt compelled. You took her hand. Then the woman disappeared into a cloud of steam as your vision went white. The next thing you realized, is that you were laying within a field.. Another adventure awaits you traveler, will you accept this and forge a new fate?

Rising Heroes

Rising Heroes

Rising Heroes is the largest single Factions PvP server in the world! We are one of the newer servers too, as we had initially started in the beginning of 2014.

Our server has been optimized to work especially well for clean cut pvp, keeping it as close as it gets to Vanilla with good performance. You will not find any lag-backs rubber banding here, and for the most part – hit detection tends to be dead on!

Factions wouldn’t be Factions without the epic bases and raiding though, so this is why RH has come equipped with these awesome features:
– Tons of cannoning / raiding patches that are essential to Factions servers
– 100% Glitch proof, there is no need here to bother with annoying glitchers that just want to ruin your base in an instant
– Obsidian destroyer, there are no impenetrable blocks to make your bases out of here!

Join the adventure today!

Memelands

Hello everyone!

Memelands is an SMP with a close-knit and driven community looking for active long term players over the age of 15. We have been playing on the current map since 2019, so there are loads of unique builds and history to discover! And we will never reset the map, so everything you build on the server will stay there forever and you don't have to worry about a "new season" wiping your progress.

We have players from multiple time zones all over the world, ensuring that the server stays active around the clock. There are events on the server every so often, ranging from jeopardy nights to build contests and sporting activities such as the Memelands olympics. These events are usually held at a time where the most players are able to join in.

We are looking for creative individuals who will want to contribute to our server and be a part of a great community and, most importantly, have fun. The type of player who stops playing on worlds when "everything has been completed" is the complete opposite of what we are looking for.

The server is completely vanilla with the exception of a few essential datapacks (such as 1-player sleep) and protective plugins (we use CoreProtect to detect thieves and griefers). We use Simple Voice Chat to enable in-game voice chat between nearby players. Using Simple Voice Chat as a player is optional and requires installing the client-side mod.

Memelands is largely owned and run by the community. Financing is done through a yearly donation box and votes are held when important decisions about the server are to be made. We have a website where blog posts about the server can be submitted and we also have a Dynmap page where the map (Google Earth-esque) can be viewed live!

Our goal is to create a larger community full of fun and active players!

Basic rules: (more detailed list in our Discord server and website)

  • No stealing, griefing or hacking.
  • Be mature and friendly. Respect other's builds.
  • No bullying, racism, or harassing other players.

(If you see someone breaking a rule you should immediately report the player to an admin)

A whitelist and application system is in place to make sure that our new members are welcomed into a secure environment.

Application: CLICK HERE

Server IP: play.memelands.com

Note that you do have to be aged 15 or older to apply.

Minecraft is full of endless possibilities, and this is a great place to explore them. We hope you will come join us! πŸ™‚
