we believe:

• in
  • a combat education & sandbox FIRST approach to Minecraft
• this
  • promotes a fundamental desire to dig, build, explore & create a place called home
• against
  • introducing monsters until the player feels very comfortable with daily activities & projects in the sandbox
• crafting table focus
  • promotes critical thinking, structure, order & planning
• resource gathering projects
  • promotes resource gathering operations as individual or team skill set building
• in exploring when ready
  • beyond the limits of the peaceful sandbox & understands the principles of working as a team & the implications of death
• mistakes
  • are a fundamental part of learning & are not a bad thing
• backups
  • are how we mitigate large mistakes & easily restore the server in a matter of seconds back to its previous state/condition 24 hours ago
