Server has been updated for 1.8.1 Please report any issues.


Introduction:The Sensible Server is a private dedicated server with a dual focus. Multi-World support enables us to have the best of both worlds: Freebuild and Survival. Free-build World is a creative build world with advanced build tools and perks where you are free to design and build whatever you want. Survival world is just that, a cooperative or competitive experience much like the Single Player experience. Unlike the single player game, our survival world has many improvements and additions, like an economy, user created shops, competitions, and more. The survival world is still very young with lots of room to expand and explore. We follow a bi-monthly feature roll out to allow time for stable, uninterrupted gameplay.
