A modded survival server with a tight-knit community

πŸ‚ About Us

We are three Italian ICT students who built and run this modded Minecraft server in our free time. What started as a passion project turned into a full custom experience (there is also some lore sprinkled in here and there) β€” Here's some fun facts about us!

He is the creative mind behind the lore and most of the mechanics, and is also really talented at building β€” even if he sometimes has an hard time deciding what to build next (Pinterest is his most visited site).

The smartest of the bunch. Legend has it he learned to read from a book, and to program from a calculator. Somehow also the kindest and most chill person in the room β€” which makes you wonder how someone that sharp can also be that easy to be around.
