This Land is a very different pretty much every other Minecraft server.
Contents
Keywords you'll recognise if you've ever played on public Minecraft servers
- Semi-vanilla - just a few plugins mostly for protection and chat management, nothing game changing.
- Survival - all players (including mods and admins) play and build in survival mode, and have done from the very beginning so anything you see[1] has been resourced and built with blood, sweat, and tears.
- Player-versus-environment - this server is not focused on player-versus-player.[2]
- Mature - only players 18 and older are allowed to join.
- Small - currently about 6 regular players.
- Whitelisted - something something, words.
Keywords you might not recognise
- Consent culture - Doing things that affect others without their permission is not how we do things.
- Autistic space - run by and for autistic people[3]
- Nonbinary friendly - a safe place for nonbinary trans people - your pronouns will be respected.
- Unadvertised - This Land isn't advertised in standard Minecraft server listings, So we never have any griefers.
Extra features maintained by staff
- Custom AutismChat plugin - significantly more control over chat-related stimulus.
- Effective, Accessible out-of-game communication - Telegram groups for socialising and discussion without having to be online at the same time as others.
Other, more volitile selling points, but no less awesome
- Organically evolving in-game infrastructure - Nether Network, Jazzable's Everything Farm, Automated Market.
- Whimsical admin - Cassolotl makes the server both safe and fun.
What is it like to play on This Land/player testimonials
- this being a safe space for autistic people is really important to me - thats why i joined in the first place!! + nonbinary stuff of course :D this land is a goldmine, i dont know any other servers like it
- - a currently annonymous player
Footnotes
- ↑ Exception: the tutorial building was thrown up quickly by the admin in creative mode because it was considered urgent and not something that interferes with the rest of the server.
- ↑ We have a PvP plugin that you can use if you want to fight with other players who want to fight.
- ↑ definitely autistic people, not people with autism. Autism is part of who/what we are and it's not an illness.
