I Purge all non active chunks by hand in every update so that new content can spawn EVERYWHERE and no one looses their lovely builds, so you might notice some new biomes nearby and given the inherent retrogen there should be new caves below you as well. Your builds are safe with us :) I built a small client side modpack to accompany the server that can be used on any vanilla client: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/sanctuary-enhanced Sanctuary Enhanced is a Performance enhancement, GUI personalization, and information display oriented client side pack designed for easy use on any vanilla server without giving the player the unfair advantages of using hack clients. At its base minecraft is missing alot of useful information I think should be available to players such as crafting recipes, enchantment and effect descriptions, and mob stats, so I've compiled a list of the mods I use for vanilla to make my life and teaching the game to new people a little easier. Not your speed? try one of my modpacks or servers: www.curseforge.com/members/sweet_lil_trinket/projects Minecraft Servers from United States

Yes, Sanctuary features Player vs Player (PvP) combat! This means you can engage in battles with other players, making the experience more competitive and exciting.
PvP servers test your combat skills, strategy, and reflexes. Whether it's arena battles, faction wars, or open-world combat, you'll need to master weapons, armor, potions, and tactics to survive and thrive.
Be prepared to lose items when you die in PvP zones. Keep valuable items secure in protected areas, and always carry backup gear. Some servers have PvP zones and safe zones - make sure you understand where PvP is enabled.
Form alliances, build fortified bases, and hone your combat skills. Remember: even the best warriors started as beginners, so don't be discouraged by early defeats. Practice makes perfect!
Yes, Sanctuary features a fully-functional economy system where you can earn, trade, and spend in-game currency. The economy adds depth to gameplay by creating market dynamics, trade opportunities, and financial goals.
Earn money through various activities like mining, farming, completing jobs, selling items to other players, or running your own shops. The economy encourages specialization - some players focus on resource gathering, others on crafting, and some become successful merchants.
Use your wealth to purchase rare items, land claims, ranks, or services from other players. Many economy servers feature player-run shops, auction houses, and even stock markets. Smart trading and business management can make you one of the wealthiest players!
The economy creates a vibrant trading community where every item has value and entrepreneurship is rewarded. Start small, save wisely, and watch your fortune grow!
Sanctuary is a Survival server where you experience Minecraft as it was meant to be played. Gather resources, craft tools, build structures, and survive against hostile mobs in this classic gameplay mode.
In Survival mode, you start with nothing and must work your way up. Mine for ores, harvest crops, hunt for food, and build shelter to protect yourself from monsters that spawn at night. Your health and hunger matter, making every decision strategic.
Many survival servers add features like land claiming to protect your builds, mcMMO for skill progression, custom enchantments, and community events. The survival challenge combined with social gameplay creates an engaging long-term experience.
Whether you prefer solo play, building with friends, or joining a large community project, survival servers offer endless possibilities. Your creativity is the limit - just watch out for creepers!
Sanctuary has an uptime of 100%. This means the server is reliable and consistently available for players to join.
