5 years strong, The Refuge is a thriving semi-vanilla PvE survival server, renowned for its deep lore, fortified by a robust community. Its foundations, sturdier than bedrock, are built on the dedication of our seasoned staff, many of whom have been guiding the server’s journey since its inception.

The magic of The Refuge lies in its democratic ethos – a rare gem in the gaming world! Our server thrives on the ideas of its inhabitants. Your opinion matters here! We invite you to shape our world, contribute to major decisions, and enrich our community events through regular polling. We’re always eager to hear your innovative suggestions for a better gaming experience.

Why just play when you can be a part of creating something exceptional? The Refuge is more than a server – it’s a legacy that’s here to stay.

To ensure seamless gameplay, we run a selection of essential plugins like PermissionsEX, World guard/edit, Coreprotect, and Essentials, and have recently added a dash of extra fun with McMmo. The rules and more intricate details about the server are accessible on our Discord.

Rules:
1. Be Respectful
The Refuge is a place where everyone is welcomed, so everyone is expected to be respectful and courteous towards everyone. Bullying, Harassment, and Offensive Language are strictly forbidden.

2. No Griefing or Stealing
No one is allowed to destroy, modify, take, or tamper with other players’ property (builds, items, pets, etc.) without the permission of the targeted player.

3. No Exploiting of Glitches, Hacks, or Cheats
Exploiting third-party extensions, game modifications, or unintentional game designs (bugs) that give unfair advantages is a bannable offense. Mods that are acceptable are mods that strictly improve FPS or enhance the aesthetic of the game (i.e. Brightness Enhancers or Shaders).

4. Keep it Appropriate!
Keep your messages, builds, items/pets, usernames, memes, images, gifs, or any other observable material by other members PG-13. If it can’t be shown in a Marvel movie, chances are, it won’t fly here.

5. No Advertising
Do not advertise, promote, or link material to other servers, websites, or other unapproved services.

6. PvP must be consensual
Player versus player combat (PvP) is allowed as long as all participants in the combat consent to the activity. You are not allowed to kill other players unless they give strict allowance. If a player is killed, all of their items must be returned to the player.
