Outlands

🏰 About Outlands

Outlands is a Hermitcraft-inspired, semi-vanilla survival SMP that emphasizes community building, trading, and steady progression. The server aims for a cooperative, mature atmosphere where players build, trade, and collaborate rather than chase competitive PvP.

🎮 Gameplay

Outlands delivers a mostly vanilla experience with a few quality-of-life additions. Expect survival progression, base building, community projects, and a persistent world intended to remain active across updates. PvP is restricted and generally only allowed when both parties consent.

⚔️ Game Modes

🪓 Survival

A survival SMP focused on long-term builds, markets, and player interaction. The world is managed to keep communities close and encourage trading and collaboration rather than large-scale power play.

✨ Features

• Semi-vanilla / Hermitcraft-style survival experience.
• Greylist system: players can look around before applying for full access.
• Custom resource pack (optional and non-overriding).
• Optional in-game proximity voice chat (Simple Voice Chat support).
• Live world map and spawn/market areas for player commerce.
• Player shops and an auction system; vacant shops follow server seizure/auction rules.
• Ticketed moderation and staff oversight for disputes and exceptions.
• Performance and build rules (farm spacing, hopper guidelines, AFK timer) to keep the server stable.

💰 Economy and Progression

Outlands supports player markets and shops with clear spawn/market rules. Shops left vacant or unmanaged may be seized and later auctioned by staff according to the server's market policy. Economy gameplay centers on player trading, shops, and auctions rather than enforced server shops or pay-to-win mechanics.

🛡️ Community and Rules

The server enforces a specific rule set focused on a respectful community and stable gameplay. Key points include:

• No griefing or stealing.
• Exploits and client mods are prohibited unless explicitly allowed; a short allowed list exists for specific mods and behaviours.
• PvP and pranks require mutual consent.
• No politics, religion, or harassment; sexual content is prohibited across platforms.
• Staff have final say; use the ticket system for disputes and long-term absences.

🧭 Who Should Play Here

This server is a good fit for players who enjoy:

• Collaborative, build-focused survival with a stable community.
• Trading, running shops, and participating in market systems.
• A mostly vanilla experience with light, optional enhancements (voice chat, resource pack). Not ideal for players seeking heavy PvP competition or heavily modded gameplay.

🔌 Connection Notes

• Java edition play (standard server connection).
• Optional Simple Voice Chat mod for proximity voice; resource pack is offered but not mandatory.
• Greylist / application flow is used for full membership; players can typically explore before applying.

🤙 Friend Tip

If you plan to be away or leave a shop/build vacant, open a ticket with staff — the server enforces vacancy and auction rules to keep the world tidy.
