You immediately start with generous claims, and you can set up to 25 homes. You can choose one of several worlds and these worlds are stable, different, and fun. Survival has a lot of shops, towns, and perches (hangouts players build for me), Altas has the school, EMA (Empathy Minecraft Academy) and has PvP turned on, while Sanctuary has Skyblock, Hyperion has Factions, and Minigames has, well, Minigames. We also have a creative plot world that is 200x200 per claim. A plot does cost $200,000 in-game cash to prevent abandonment and abuse (not hard to earn in other worlds).

You can build your house, town, or project by yourself and you can use the shops or not at your discretion. If you do realize you’re working on a larger project, or if you plan to do a larger build, you can get server backing in the forms of a BELCHES division. BELCHES stands for Better Empathy Land Claims and Historical Evaluation of Structures. It takes care of all our expired and abandoned claims. It also provides a program through which cities and towns and qualify for extra claims to cover their large builds and funds to hire people for jobs, as well as NPC’s, SignURL’s, and other large project perks.

This means that general players can feel welcome and are free to do their thing, and serious players or players who realize their builds got serious can get a little server support for their hard effort. The builder(s) can’t apply for a BELCHES division until the project is at least 20% done, and as you will see this type of earning by showing progress in-game is the type of incentive we provide throughout many parts of the game.

We have about forty working quests and are constantly adding more. Our quests allow you to earn quest points which I plan to use to make other, better quests where you need points to be able to use them. The Minigames world is open to people to use /gm 1 and/or play minigames and do adventures, some of which integrate with other projects and plugins like Quester, CasinoSlots, and EMA, our Empathy Minecraft Academy. Some of the Minigames are unique and suitable for leagues.

Here are our current quests: http://empathyheals.enjin.com/forum/m/2 ... ing-quests

You can impact the world in many ways. You can make commands using command generators or write them if you know how to code, and propose them on the forum. These commands can be used to make custom items that have the lore and stats you want for your town or project, and we can put these at hangouts or in public areas. Submit them to drop loot that promotes your shop, teaches something, or informs people bout activities or quests in your town. As long as they get approval from some Project Facilitators, which doesn't take too long, you can write command blocks as well as quests that we will put in the game (we have a server you can log on and test them also). You can also write minigames once you gain a little bit of trust, and even make NPC’S that people have to fight/farm to collect your unique drops. You can use these NPC's in quests, at your town, or in various locations you want to place them around the server, with approval. For those who already do know how to code we have a very friendly, flexible, and welcoming system so you can showcase your talent! Those who don't know how to generate commands or code will find a friendly community who will instruct patiently.

You can learn by collecting many educational items at /warp school or you can teach a class of your own (which also leads to learning because I’ve been learning a ton making EMA classes). You can play games with the loot, you can create educational adventures, you can make challenges and you can show off your sesquipedalian vocabulary and get better grades in school. The environment on the server is also very positive, and education is prized and promoted. It is not, however, forced on anybody, and using the school is totally voluntary. Some people play on the server and never even go to the school. But it has fun drops, the lore is interesting, and there really is so much content by now that you can totally geek out on collecting.

You can’t move spawners, you can’t buy spawners, there are no drop parties, and everything is built “legit,” meaning nobody uses world edit or creative mode to build anything in survival worlds. What can make things a bit easier are plugins like autocrafter, scribe, and the existence of CUTE items. CUTE items which you can purchase at /warp CUTEshop have above vanilla enchants or non-vanilla combinations of enchants on them. These items cost a lot and cannot be repaired, ever, so the point of CUTE items is that they makes it a bit easier to do things, but eventually GO AWAY. Some CUTE items can only be farmed off NPC's or obtained by doing quests.

Empathy is for people who show empathy and want to play in a friendly, affirming, and calm environment. This means that trolls and annoying people get banned. If you join please agree to /rules when asked, and/or fill this out shortly after I promote you or I'm not online when you join: http://empathyheals.enjin.com/forum/m/2 ... -promotion You will get 1000 claims if you fill out all questions within 3 days of joining. While we do have donator ranks, Allied and Advocated, they provide cosmetic, non-game-changing perks that comply with the EULA.

Make money by adopting, renovating, or demolishing expired and abandoned claims you come across, and keep what you find in them. Let the BELCHES project facilitator know you did work (show screenshots) and get paid (but best to take the job in advance by showing a PF the area). Do you like to play Minecraft in a certain way? Do you like to write books, make a project with a particular focus or style, create different types of games within the game, etc. come to Empathy. We support your creative ideas, and as long as it doesn’t offend me or other people you’re welcome to do it. We have lots of really cool plugins that are not too OP but are fantastic for projects, like Movecraft and Quester and Minigames and Otherdrops and Citizens and Sentinel and Casinoslots, etc. We have several sanctioned projects with project facilitators and a BEAF bank (Better Empathy Accounting and Finance). You can run one of these sanctioned projects if you want and have access to the BEAF bank or you can propose your own project and become project facilitator of it (if approved). Project facilitators of personal (non-sanctioned) projects do not get a server budget but they do have access to BEST (Better Empathy Shops and Trades) warehouse and have priority to wholesale items collected from shops that have expired and priority to adopt abandoned claims.

We have several. We’re the only server that has NPCDROPS which integrates with Citizens and Sentinel. We can load an infinite amount of items on any NPC and these can be items with lore and unique attributes also. We can specify how many drop at a time, the % chance each will drop, the durability of each items when it drops, and the plugin even has a graphical user interface for scrolling what loot each mob has.

We are currently running a 25% off special at server shop where you can use forum points to buy items to use in game. We also have several community members building holiday builds and working on holiday related quests. Our birthday is in February, and we have an NPC that drops a special suit of armor you can farm every year with awesome stats.

We have players of all ages, and most of our players are social and love to interact with others. We have people in their 50’s who play with their families, we have parents who play with their kids. I love that Empathy provides something for players across the lifespan and playing abilities, and I welcome feedback and ways to make the server more enjoyable and accessible. The one thing our players have in common is respect. Our players have consideration for the experience of others and aim to make everyone on the server feel welcome and comfortable.

We have Citizens 2 and Sentinel, and we have a unique plugin that allows us to stack any amount of any items and designate a) drop % rate, b) durability of the item that drops c) the amount of items that drop at a time.



It even has a GUI (graphical user interface)

ELM is my favorite and the greatest admin plugin EVER and it was built for us by wd40bomber7, who is our Guardian and developer. This plugin quickly allows me and the Advocates on the server to locate lag-causing farms and tp directly to the problem. We can dampen the mobs if we do not want to kill them until the owner of the claim can come and deal with the problem. No vanish, no stalking players, no hunting down lag. It works great and it's being improved to identify redstone lag too.

On our server when you do /shop find buy item you actually see what world that shop is in. So you can be sure you're teleporting to buy from a shop that is in a world which shares inventory with the world you need the item for.

These projects have now run relatively well for two years, and our Project Facilitators are down to earth and awesome. We could use a few more honest folks who know how to code, and a few more dedicated people to run some of our projects.

Here is a MindMap with our current sanctioned projects: https://mm.tt/466003332?t=Lj5qq2CQYH



In addition to giving jobs and doing work for the server, project Facilitators also hold events and contests.

We have over 10 projects run by players just like you, who do things to make Empathy how it is! They get budgets, and can hold fundraisers to expand their budgets. They also give jobs and write monthly reports on the forum.
