The Typhoon Server Group will be one of the largest communities in Minecraft. As with all great projects there are a series of phase that it must go though. The first phase will be a single server. The second phase will be to add another server to the group and link the servers. The third phase will be to continue to add servers to the group until we have enough of a player base to be the largest community in all of Minecraft.
General Rules for all Servers::
• No Duping
• No Hacking
• No Griefing
• No Stealing
• No Spamming Chat
• Replant Trees out in the wilderness.
Failure to follow any of these rules will result in a temporary or a permanent Ban. You will be able to appeal your ban on the forums. Only the Moderator that issued the Ban can unban you.

Phase One::
The first phase will be a single large server the entire community will play on called the Mining Consortium. On the website you will find the login information for the server and Ventrilo. On this server Ventrilo will be one of the requirements. You do not need to speak on Ventrilo, but we would like you to at least listen. Also on the website is a link to the forums for the server group.
Plans for the server include, a server-wide subway system and four great cities.
Subway System::
The subway will be dug close to bedrock. This will keep it out of the way of all above ground projects. The subway tunnels are planned to be dug nine blocks wide and five blocks tall. The reason the tunnels are going to be dug so large is to allow multiple mine tracks to be run down a single tunnel. The tunnels will be dug along the cardinal directions as well as a ring around the map and a ring at 8000 blocks from spawn. There will also be terminals at most junctions. Once the tunnels are dug it will create a very large grid system. There are also future plans to dig other tunnels at the 4000 block marks as well.
On the subway system we will be using the Craftbook add-on for the minecart boosters. The primary block type that will be used for the boosters will be gold ore. We will also be using the Chest dispensers to help handle and maintain the carts.
Great Cities::
Currently there are four Great City locations planned, but if the need arises there is room to add at least four more. The Great Cities will be located 8000 blocks from spawn in each direction. Currently each city is slated to have a 1250x1250 block area. Each city will be different. Currently two city designs are being discussed. There is a plan to build a city completely underground and a city that will sit in a valley or tiered rings.
Each of the cities will also have major terminals for the subway system. These terminals will serve as major hubs in the area and will allow for other projects to spring up around them. Each of the Great Cities will also have their own internal minecart system. This system will most likely include monorails around the town so that visitors will be able to see the vastness of the cities
Other Features in the Cities::
• Personal Vaults
• Market District
• Castle or a Palace in the Center of the City
• Town Walls
• No Monster Spawning (Once the Realms Mod is ported.)
The personal vaults will be located in each of the Great Cities along with one setup at spawn. There are two different size personal vaults, the first one is 12 double chests and the second one is 18 double chests. Due to the fact that we will be using private personal warps to enter the vaults, each play will only be able to have a single vault on the server.
PvP Plans for the Server::
PvP on the server will be touch and go. Ideally I would like to have full on PvP, but that is not going to happen due to that some people can’t be trusted to be mature about it. So the plan is to make the center 8000x8000 safe from PvP along with the Great Cities as well as the subway system. I believe that this will allow all people to coexist on the same server.
Phase Two::
The second phase of the Typhoon Server Group is to add a second server and add plugin support so that players can portal between the two servers. The second server will have the same basic plugins as the first server with an addition of a few different plugins. It will most likely be a RPG esk server. What that involves is a plugin called Craftizens. The plugin allows the creation of NPC’S that act as quest givers. The server will most likely contain iConomy as well. iConomy is a plugin that creates a currency for the server. These two plugins can interact with each other, allowing the quest NPC’S to hand out iConomy dollars so that players can visit merchants and purchase their questing gear.
This server will be run by a core group of players that will have the ability to setup quests and NPC merchants on the server. These players will ultimately have a say in how this server is run and what plugins they would like to see installed.
My goal for the second server is for it to act as a testing bed for the other servers to follow. This will allow me to see the interaction we can achieve between the players, the moderators, and the administrative staff. If all goes well we will be able to proceed onto phase three of the plan.
Phase Three::
This phase will be to add more servers to the group. Each server will have its own flavor, plugins and moderators. With this phase we are hoping for some rapid expansion. In order for this phase to work or to even start, we will need a very large player base in the group. The reason for the large player base is so that I can afford to run this project. Each server will not be cheap to run so there will need to be a large enough of a player base to sustain the server
Future server plans::
1: All out PvP. This will be a server that has no restrictions on the PvP front. Basically that means that anything goes. If you want to spawn camp have at it, butdon’t whine about it when you get killed by a gang of players. This server will also have death home on it. This will allow a person to set a home and when they die they will show up at the home. It will also have a permanent map that will never change.
2: Anarchy. This server will have zero restrictions what so-ever. TnT will be enabled and so will fire along with full on PvP. Due to the fact that this server will most likely be utter chaos and the terrain will be messed up from the TnT the map will be reset once a week.
3: RPG. This is the server that will most likely be the second server if there is enough interest. It is also described in Phase 2.
4: Runecraft, Magic. This server will be running the Runecraft mod as well as the Magic spell mods.
Since there are thousands of different server configurations, I will be asking people to post prospective server ideas on the forums.
