Hello everyone, well as you can see from the topic.. I am building a new Minecraft network. The reason I say network and not just a "server" is because my plans are for more than just a Minecraft server. My son who is 10 plays Minecraft and I own an ISP. I am my own internet provider. With that I made him a temporary server to play on and do whatever he wants with it, the address is "the.minecraft.ghet.to". So the past week or so I learned alot about running a Minecraft server and how good it can be for the Minecraft community to contribute something a bit more.

Typical Minecraft servers are run on home computers, or rented servers (VPS and such services). I dont rent what I have, I own what I have.. As I said before.. I am my own internet provider. I own my company and have servers based in the United States, Europe and Canada with connection speeds up to 10GBps, the lowest speeds on my network is 1GBps.. With all that said, I decided to begin this project and make a Minecraft network. I want to make multiple play servers based all over different regions and also have these servers run different versions, mods, plugins, etc to accommodate ALL players of Minecraft. For example, servers running version 1.6.4 and 1.7.2, servers with bukkit and vanilla servers. I think you get the idea..

Besides setting up play servers in different regions I am also going to setup a webpage with a forum, downloads section, etc and with that comes the responsibility of becoming a forum moderator. I will also be setting up an IRC server so users of the Minecraft community can come and chat or if they happen to have questions and need any help they can join and get support. You will also have a responsibility of being an IRC Operator, meaning maintaining the IRC server and its channels (chat rooms) and making sure everyone obeys the rules.

I am offering and looking for alot more than what others on here would probably be looking for but if you are interested in joining the team and think you can live up to the expectations, fill out an application on our site @ http://www.minecraft.com.

We are looking for all positions.

Admins -> 10 open positions (admins will be assigned to certain servers and some may be assigned to all servers. this all depends on your experience and application answers)
Moderators -> 15 open positions (same as above)
Helpers -> 15 open positions
Plugin Developers -> 5 open positions
Head Builder -> 3 open positions
Designers -> 5 open positions
Builders -> 20 open positions

Note: Those who are accepted to be Admins, Moderators and Helpers will also have the option of helping on our website/forum and IRC server.

Again, please visit http://www.minecraft.sh to fill out an application. I can also be contacted at admin@minecraft.sh

Thanks and we look forward to hearing back from everyone who is interested in joining the team!
