Minecraft Survival Servers

Yesterday, we ran a poll to gauge the general reaction of the community with regards to the controversial thread section. From the beginning, this poll showed the same trend with a 70-75% majority. This vote trend did not change throughout the day, so we called it at just over 100 submissions, the general amount of responses we receive before a stall in responses.

After taking these votes into consideration, it's clear that the majority of the community does not wish to have these threads public by default and we feel that it is a good compromise to address issues with players who cannot handle the maturity of these sections, and unfortunately aren't mature enough to remove themselves.

Therefore, as of today, the controversial section is now an opt-in system. If you wish to participate in the Controversial section, please fill out the following form. Please read and accept the terms and conditions in order to be added:

New Staff Application!

That's right! The previous staff application served us well. However, as the last time it was updated was in December 2016. It was time for an update.

In order to be considered to be an EMC Staff Member, we ask that you fill out the NEW application. All previous applications are null and void. The new one is really fancy too, so we want that one.

To apply for a staff member position on EMC, please go to:

Hello everyone. No, this is not the secret update But this is stuff that we've had brewing unrelated to the secret update, and considering we are nearing the release of the secret update, I didn't want that update to drown out these changes...

This update focuses on new (yes, EULA Compliant) supporter perks, as well as some improvements for vaults, groups, and bug fixes for everyone.

Everyone - Misc Fixes and Features
Chicken has worked his egg laying magic and reworked how the vault system behaves.

• Vault's no longer "reload" when changing pages. No more cursor movement, no more lag between the pages
• Vault page navigation buttons now also give you options for 2 or 3 pages to the left or right, not just 1 page at a time.
• Everything is so much faster! We are preloading vault metadata on login now enabling us to swap those pages even faster, and enable those 2/3+ page buttons.
• A bug where lighting an Enraged Creeper with Flint and Steel caused him to spam explode has been fixed
• Items being "lost" during explosions from creepers has now been fixed. Come to find out, the items hadn't actually been destroyed, but put into a bugged state that you couldn't see them. If you did walk on top of them you were able to pick them up, and they would of also came back after a server restart.
• Added "Public Groups" for JackBiggin. A group leader can type /gr...

These pages were long overdue for an update. Due to multiple players not reading these fully in their past format, we've updated the look and defined everything just a bit more to clear up any confusion regarding the use of mods on EMC.

Note: This is not a rule change. This is a redesign of the wiki pages with rule clarifications that date back to 2016 in this thread: https://empireminecraft.com/threads/policy-macro-limitations.66453/

We hope this clears up any confusion regarding use of mods on EMC.

Showing the Frontier some LOVE!

This is a multi-part post about our beloved Frontier and plans/projects that are going to be starting today and ongoing over the next couple of weeks. So that if you happen to see one frontier spawn that is different than another, you have a reference post for why. I'll be on each server and working from smp1 to utopia for each project listed.
