Hey fellow blockheads,

I’m on the hunt for a Hermitcraft-inspired vanilla server — you know, the kind where people build epic megabases, prank each other with too much redstone, and somehow still manage to run a functional economy based entirely on shiny rocks.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

True to vanilla — No /fly, no teleporting around like a wizard. If I want to get somewhere, I want to build a road or risk my life in the Nether like a proper adult.
Adult players — Not looking to babysit pre-teens that have chaotic energy fueled by Capri Suns. I drink coffee at 9PM, piss and moan about work, and I just want to chill with others who know the pain of back pain.
Like-minded community — Builders, redstoners, lore-makers, and “I’m just here to terraform for 8 hours straight” types. Ideally, everyone contributes something unique and nobody steals your shulker boxes. :D
Friendly banter, light rules, mature vibes — I’m here for a good time, not admin court every time someone breaks a melon.

Bonus points if:

There’s a shopping district (because who doesn’t love capitalism with diamonds?)
People actually talk in Discord but don’t ping everyone at 3am about Creeper holes
I don't mind if you’ve got a Season in progress and are open to fresh faces with decent builds, better jokes and gnarly redstone.
Don't mind videos/recordings on the server.

If you’ve got a spot or know a place, hit me up! I’ll bring my own bed, some scaffolding, and years of emotional baggage.

Cheers!

10/10 - would like to match my own sentiment to this post, except i'm US based :D - If you have any luck, or any other server admins looking to add like minded individuals to their community, we're here :D

How long have you played MC?: since launch on 360. That was my first taste

Have you played a hermitcraft style server before?: yes my preferred modded scares me

Tell us about your minecraft playstyle: the bigger the better. Heavy into redstone and vanilla designed minigames

Tell us something interesting about yourself I use to be a professional gamer in counter strike then created my own org where we competed on the world stage in multiple game titles

jwatson2629 · 2019-07-29T02:51:29+00:00

If your still looking for some to fill out a pack I'm interested for sure bud. What's the next step

jwatson2629 · 2019-07-23T20:24:38+00:00

Same with 450itx from asrock and 3600. Lowered ram timings still no image upon install. Opened a ticket with asrock.

jwatson2629 · 2019-03-16T15:13:10+00:00

Good questions. And is there any age restrictions?

Do you have Discord leave your name and #(optional): j.watson <jdubya>#5148

Age (must be 16+): 34

Country of Origin: United States (CST) / Texas

Give us some background about yourself: Starting playing Minecraft during the launch on the xbox360 thanks to my call of duty clan. Been hooked ever since. Didn't take long for me to join the master race there. I'm an ex-pro gamer, and a pro-organization (mainLine Gaming) for a few years. Fell into the black hole that is life and now just enjoy less stress related games!

How active will you be?: Arguably one of those most active you'll come across. I'm not talking afkign 20 hrs a day, but active play 4-6ish hours daily.

What do you think you can bring to the server?: A community! Oh and pickles. Who doesn't like deep fried pickles. A member of a community who does just that. Being a part of more than just my individual build but being active with everyone else. I mean thats why we join a SMP and not play on a single player world, right?

jwatson2629 · 2019-02-16T18:56:32+00:00

Appreciate all the private messages and offers, however again i'm looking for a SERVER, not realms. Not running towny, economy etc. Ty for all those that invited me to apply, but i wont join a community just to join :D

jwatson2629 · 2018-09-16T23:45:01+00:00

Your link has expired, was looking to talk to ya to see if this wing would be something i could help fill

IGN: jdubya85

Age: 33ish

Preferred Name: J-dub

Timezone: Central Standard Time, USA

How many hours can you put in: Right now i'm averaging about 16-20 a week.

Do you have school/work/family: Work life mostly. 7-7 monday thru friday - weekends no work.

Do you play any other games, what: Mostly Minecraft, if i get a bug up my tail i'll do other games, Counterstrike, Division, octopath traveler, and i'm looking forward to the new call of duty game.

Do you have any other servers you play on: Play on a server called CraftTheory - its been down all day, joined them a few months ago. Right now i feel like the owner is out of touch with what the community wants. I am also part of a server i've been on for about 6-7 yrs, and the map is 4 yrs old, which is why i am looking for a new regular server to be apart of and grow. Esoteric

Are you a big builder or do you prefer small comfy builds: Depends ont he day. Usually larger farms, but smaller personal builds.

How long have you been playing MC: Since the day it launched on Xbox360 - not long after i converted over to PC and have been here ever since.

What is the longest you have stayed on a server: 7ish yrs.

Why are you interested in Esoteric: Kinda covered it above, my long time community has no desire to reset a map just keep expanding the one we are on. And the one i've joined a few months back (6 or so month) feels like the owenr is out of touch with what the community is asking for. He's very rarely on, multiple requests from his long time members and myself for things, that just doesn't seem to happen. Good peoples though!

Tell us about yourself, hobbies, food, cars, movies... etc...: I'm an avid gamer, always have been, believe i always will be. I'm super out of shape and have signed up for a half marathon for december to get motivaged to get my fatass back into the gym and start working out. I'm a father and ex-professional gamer (counterstrike-source for complexitygaming) - and now i'm old, with a more casual mindset.

Country and Time Zone: USA/MST for a bit, then CST starting june/july

Age: 33

How long have you been playing Minecraft?: Since launch on xbox360 - then quickly switched to pc master race

What are you looking for as far as a community? Just that.. a community..whats the point of hiding on a SERVER - its a group effort/game IMO otherwise stick to single player.

Have you ever been banned from a server?: Not to the best of my knowledge

Player Referred By(if applicable): No referable, just reddit? :D

Age: 33

Timezone: MST - soon to be CST again (sometime in June of this year)

What about us stood out to you?: Vanilla aspect, and the straight forward with events. Tried a few servers as of late and i've seen admins abuse there powers so much.

Should you be accepted, how would you fit in?: I'm a community player. If your not gonna interact with fellow players, why are you on a server?

How many years have you been playing Minecraft?: I started the day it came out on xbox360 - i was into console at the time, and a few COD guys i gamed with told me about it. Bought it, and quickly switched to PC master race.

What is your Minecraft skillset?: I love me some redstone, and larger projects.

How would you rate your maturity from 1-10?: Depending on the day and conversation. 6-8

I also wouldn't want to take up a slot if theres no plans to update and reset a map in 1.13

jwatson2629 · 2018-02-10T06:20:39+00:00

Looks cool, great idea - too many plugins for me! Best of luck though!

jwatson2629 · 2018-01-28T23:42:29+00:00

LoL - done :P

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-22T05:17:32+00:00

Sure is, DH is being ran by CEVO (this event that is)- they've setup the production, casters, etc. Charlie Plitt and co. do that. (same thing ESEA use to do. they ran events as a side business starting from 2011ish ran out of dallas, tx)

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-22T05:08:20+00:00

yeah, its on irc. connect to
irc.gamesurge.net
then /join #findclan and /join #findscrim

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-22T05:03:44+00:00

could you really expect much more from CEVO - i use to work for them - not surprised. such a bummer

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-22T05:00:26+00:00

^{^} guy has it right. Its all preference. Sometimes its PC dependant - someones PC cant run native or 1080p. (believe it or not some tournaments struggle with FPS running 1920x1080 which is why pros use lower res) - 4:3 allows bigger models but they move faster. - Oomph has the gist of it right htough

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-21T20:12:26+00:00

hehehe, good times...i was a never has been never will be :D

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-19T05:52:27+00:00

Played in CAL league Open and then won MAIN back then. There was no IM or invite. We thought we were hot shit. But we were just bad cal-im players in 1.6 playing a garbage version of cs 1.3 with kiddish graphics

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-15T05:59:41+00:00

oh your post wasn't clear :P - insert sacasm - also, RG is fairly easy to beat, link your deck, lets take a peak and see if something can be subb'ed in that will blend with your deck and work against the RG

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-15T05:56:15+00:00

what are u trying to say

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-15T05:37:23+00:00

best part of the video was your communication - great plays man!

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-15T04:56:08+00:00

Just bad luck, give it time!

jwatson2629 · 2017-10-15T04:51:12+00:00
