Crystalline Carbon

**Tl;dr:**  Four maps: icy wasteland survival, snowy survival, normal Minecraft survival, and Creative freebuild.  Respawn in a random location (within 7,500 blocks of spawn) on every death until you /sethome.  No admin help, no server city, no starter kits.  All buildings are player-made, nothing is creative or /given.  Admins don't use creative or /give in the survival maps.

**Full version:**
The Winter Wasteland map is made to be difficult on survival.  There are hardly any trees anywhere, and most of the ground is covered with thick snow instead of grass, so you'll be hard-pressed to find wood or seeds.  Monsters, on the other hand...

It's mostly snow-covered mountains.  There are sand-filled valleys winding throughout the map, intersecting at large clearings where a handful of trees can be found.  There are also large, but very rare, oases, with woods, warmth, and sunny weather.  But oases are around 4,000 blocks apart, walking in a straight line, so finding them would be a large-scale mission.  When you teleport into the Snow map, everyone teleports in at the same location; however, you will respawn in a random location every time you die.  I would recommend you /sethome before that happens.

We have another snowy map, less harsh than the Wasteland.  It's mostly Ice Plains, with scattered Plains and Cold Taiga.  Plains has some other biomes inside it.

We also have a normal map, for those who aren't cool with the cold.  Items cannot be transferred between maps.  Money is stored per-world, but hypothetically, you *might* be able to use another person as a middleman to transfer it between world (*maybe*; this is just an idea, I haven't tested it).

A major reason I run this server is that most others seem to have an overbearing administrator presence.  They have a server-shop, a spawn-castle, a server-run city at the center of everything...  I always feel like I have to escape something *official*.  On this server, every structure that exists was built by survival players through legitimate means.  Nothing is admin-owned, nothing is server-run, nothing is official.  The admins do not use Creative or /give in the survival worlds.  We have a separate, player-accessible map for creative building.

And about that "no official buildings" thing... that's *mostly* true.  There is a small spawn-house in its own "Hub" world, with portals to the other maps.  But that's all.

This is a fairly young server, and I'm just now starting to advertise it outside of MinecraftServers.net, so it's fairly small at present.
