Gameplay Types: SMP, PvE, PvP Extra Worlds: Instances, Parkour / Activities Mumble: mumble.summaxr.com, port 4262 Description The Summa Crossroads Minecraft server is built on a very simple but very effective core idea - that awesome gameplay should be the focus of development and maintenance. In pursuit of that, over the last 3 years I've gone through multiple maps, updates, and plugin sets, always trying to find that delicate balance of fun, challenge, and drive. We've come a long way from a simple hMod setup to a fully featured Bukkit suite including plugins tailored to our requests by authors who share our passion and ideals. This server has been a lot of things for a lot of people, but it's always been a good time. Today we feature a vast 16,000 by 16,000 map sprawling from edge to edge with beautiful custom biomes, hand-painted and lovingly crafted to bring the sense of adventure and vast scale that you may recall from your first days of Minecraft. Some residents have built towns and gathered the resources to construct their own waypoints that you can unlock the ability to fast-travel to by venturing there yourself. Much of the landscape is yet unexplored, and each week new adventures are introduced. Many players have developed towns together, and there are 6 player-built towns that already built and activated their waypoints! For those who enjoy a good challenge, the overworld is bustling with deep caves and the monsters that come out at night will be no allies. PvP Arenas let you challenge your friends and humiliate your foes - paying you out for putting up a good fight. The Underdome lets you demonstrate your gladiatorial might against wave after wave of things that go bump in the night, with spoils to those who entertain. Vast parkour challenges, one of which has only been completed by one player in the history of the server, will spare you no mercy. Unrelenting instanced temples will push you to your limits, giving you fame and fortune if you show the world that you are a true hero. Accumulate enough might and you can unlock ancient secrets, letting you use magic spells to control the world around you. We think it's important to foster a strong community, and our player ranks are thus primarily tied to forum posts. The numbers may seem a bit high at first to those who have not had previous experience with forums, but when you jump in and get involved you will be surprised at how quickly it starts to add up. It's not just the ranks, either - you get gold for posting on the forums that can be used for forum-related activities and items, or transferred to the server at a 1:1 ratio. With your gold you can open a shop that lets you buy items from and sell to other players at prices of your choosing, or find many other ways to spend it. Many players have commented that Minecraft sometimes feels as though it lacks purpose. We are actively developing a central quest line in addition to many side quests and activities to keep you busy, entertained, and enthralled. If you have a knack for bringing stories to life and realizing grand schemes, we may be interested in your input! Scattered around various areas of the server are also a host of NPCs that do anything from help you train your skills to guarding temples and sending you on journeys. Often times it's the little things that make the biggest difference, and we have a plethora of precisely tuned pieces that keep the cogs turning. Little tweaks to the basics of Minecraft and bigger underlying systems designed to reward you for playing the game your way. We want players to have fun and enjoy themselves in a world that feels ready for conquest and adventure. At the end of a long day, though, there's definitely a need to have some fun. Whether you put down bets on grass growing or sheep sumo, enjoy a raunchy night out at the strip club, or knock 'em dead at the Eagle Eye shooting range, you can settle down after a hard day's work and share some stories over a pint of Mudder's Milk with your pals - or make some new ones! Just don't have too much or you might have trouble making it home. It is worth noting that we are, by and large, a mature server. This doesn't mean that we include 7 dirty words in every sentence, but it does mean that we tend not to restrain ourselves and generally expect users to have a bit of intuition regarding basic elements such as getting food, making shelter, surviving on your own, etc. We are a survival server, after all - the fun is in surviving! Features One home per world. Keep armor on death. We're tough, not cruel. Unlock warps by travelling to them. Construct your own waypoint node to let others visit you. Lock your chests and devices. Open world PvP as well as arenas supporting 1v1 or team combat. Cooperative PvE arenas vs. increasingly difficult waves of mobs, including bosses. Daily and weekly quests, with a main quest line in development. Elaborate and difficult parkour challenges, as well as a few on the lighter side. Plant life that wants to stay alive - saplings will auto-plant after a period of time. They can still be broken and collected. Player shops including enter/leave messages. NPCs, many of whom have things to say! Earn gold for participating in server activities or engaging on the forums. Spend it your way. Milk with a little something extra. Various quality-of-life commands, such as /where so you don't have to use F3. Auto link shortener. Don't let character limits ruin your sharing. Magic spells that have a variety of uses. Extensions to redstone usability in certain situations. Mini-games and other distractions for some simple amusement. Check out our shooting range in the videos section. Instanced temple challenges, reminiscent of Legend of Zelda or other dungeons. See our Fire Temple in action in the videos section. Mumble server. Weekly content updates. While this might already seem like a lot, there's already even more being worked on and planned! We would love to have you be a part of our continued development and growth. Rules No griefing. No begging. No whining. Be friendly. No hacking, malicious mods, exploitation, duping, or other unfairly advantageous manipulation of gameplay. Harassment will not be tolerated. Visual griefing (mutilating the landscape for transport or other purposes without cleaning up after yourself) is not allowed. No advertising. Wahrheit's word is law. Official Rules Thread + Case Law Technical Server Hardware The server is on a box in Miami, Florida with a 24 * 2.30GHz E5-26xx CPU, 32GB RAM, a 100GB SSD, on FreeBSD. We generally have a maximum of 100 slots. Plugins In the interest of maintaining "the fourth wall" and reducing risk of exploits, we don't release a full list of plugins. There are over 50 currently active with a few on the sidelines, many of which were developed at our request to provide an awesome gameplay experience that gives you a wealth of options but keeps things challenging. In lieu of plugins, please see the "features" section. Owner/Admins The server is owned, administrated, and maintained by Wahrheit as it has been since 2010.
