You're In.
Welcome to the Sanctuary
This is a neurodivergent Minecraft community built for people who are done with chaotic servers, toxic players, and spaces that were never designed for the way our brains work. No pressure. No performance. Just a place to build, explore, and exist.

The SMP: Survival Multiplayer World
The SMP is a long-term survival world built around cooperation, creativity, and community. There is no reset schedule. What you build here stays. The goal is a server where people can settle in, develop their space over time, and become familiar with the people around them.
This world runs on structure. That is not an accident. Predictable environments are easier to exist in, and that applies to Minecraft too.
Rules and Expectations
The Sanctuary is a low-drama environment. These are not suggestions.
Respect other players and their builds
No griefing, stealing, or intentional disruption
PvP is off by default in protected areas
Keep chat clean and low pressure
If something feels wrong, report it in Discord
Moderation is active. Violations are handled directly and without extended debate.
The Sanctuary Settlement
The Sanctuary is a fenced community settlement southwest of spawn. Everything inside the fence is protected. No hostile mobs spawn within the settlement boundaries, so you can build, explore the community, and move around at night without the pressure of combat.
Inside the settlement you will find:
Community storage available to all players
A shared mine for gathering resources
An iron farm for passive resource generation
Protected plots available for purchase once you have earned enough playtime
The settlement is the heart of the server. It is where the community lives, builds, and grows together.
Communication
You are never on your own if you have a question or need something sorted.
In game chat is monitored. If you need help, want to request Resident status, or just have a question, type it in chat and an Admin will get back to you when available. In game chat is also linked to a designated Discord channel so conversations carry across both platforms.
For community chat, world guides, rules, and everything else, Discord is home base.
There are two options for voice chat. Discord voice channels are available to anyone in the server with no extra setup required. Fot Java users there Simple Voice Chat is an optional in game mod that uses proximity voice, or group options.
Where to Build
Where to Build
When you first enter the SMP you will spawn at the main spawn point. There are starter supplies waiting for you there. Grab what you need and get your bearings before heading out.
The Sanctuary settlement is located to the southwest of spawn. This is the primary community build on the server. It has community resources, mob protection, and the option to own your own protected plot of land within the settlement. If you are new and want neighbors, structure, and a familiar environment to grow into, this is where you want to be.
To become a resident of the Sanctuary settlement and access protected land ownership, you will need to be granted Resident status by an Admin. Jump into Discord or type in game chat and an Admin will get back to you.
If you prefer to go your own way, you are welcome to explore the map and build out in the wild. The same rules apply everywhere on the server. Griefing and stealing are not allowed regardless of where you build. The difference is that unclaimed land does not have the same automatic protections as a claimed plot, so claiming your space when you are ready to settle is a good idea.
A live map of the server is available so you can orient yourself, find the settlement, and scout locations before you commit to a spot.
Economy and Land
There are no jobs to grind. You earn in-game currency simply by playing.
Every hour you are logged in earns you $1. That's it. Show up, play, and your balance grows over time.
Currency is used to purchase and maintain your own protected plot of land inside the Sanctuary settlement.
Plots cost $10, earned after approximately 10 hours of play
There is a $1 per month tax to maintain your plot
You must log in for at least 1 hour per month to keep your plot active
Plots that fall behind on tax or go inactive may be reclaimed
This system is designed to reward consistent presence over time, not grinding or rushing.

Simple Voice Chat (Java Only)
Simple Voice Chat is an optional mod that lets you hear and speak to players near you in the game world using proximity voice. You do not need it to play. Bedrock players cannot use this mod but can use Discord voice channels instead.
To install Simple Voice Chat you will need a mod loader called Fabric. If you already have Fabric installed, skip to Step 2.
Step 1: Install Fabric
Download and install Fabric from fabricmc.net. Run the installer and select Minecraft version 1.21.11. Once the installer finishes, open your Minecraft launcher. In the profile dropdown at the bottom left, select the Fabric profile before launching. If you skip this step and launch the default profile, your mods will not load.
Step 2: Download Simple Voice Chat and Fabric API
You will need two files for voice chat to work.
Go to modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat and download the version that matches Minecraft 1.21.11 and Fabric.
You will also need the Fabric API. Go to modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api and download the version that matches Minecraft 1.21.11. Both files go into your mods folder in Step 3.
Step 3: Install the Mod
Place the downloaded file into your Minecraft mods folder. To find it, open your Minecraft launcher, click Installations, find your Fabric install, and click the folder icon. If a mods folder does not exist inside, create one and name it mods.
Step 4: Launch and Play
Open the launcher, select your Fabric installation, and launch. Once you join the server the voice chat icon will appear on screen. Hold V to talk by default. You can adjust keybinds under Controls in your Minecraft settings.
