Integrated Server Chat
Chat options such as hiding join/quit notifications and autoconnecting to chatrooms can be set in your User Options.
You may also connect using a standalone IRC client.
Minecraft Servers
The SocialGamer Minecraft servers are open to any user with a SocialGamer.net account. We run both a Players vs Environment Survival server and a Creative server. Our servers run the latest recommended CraftBukkit build.
Steps to Connect ("Not Authorized"??)
Please follow these three simple steps:
- Create a free SocialGamer Account
- Click the verification link in the email sent to your address
- Fill in the "Minecraft Username" field in your account options
Note: This will give you read-only access to our servers. You will still need to be given permission to build! For that you may ask a Moderator or an Administrator.
Registration acts as our whitelist and allows us to contact you if we need to for any reason. Please see our Privacy Policy if you have any concerns. You also gain access to our TeamSpeak server by registering.
Creative Server
- Server Address: c.mc.socialgamer.net (Enter this into Minecraft)
Map Snapshot
We also have a real-time map that shows player locations. (Mouse-over the right side of the page to select an isometric camera angle, or underground map.)
Server Rules
I hope you'll find these to be common sense. Anyone found in violation of these rules will be removed permanently and without warning.
- Do not modify anything that you did not create! - If something is broken and you want to fix it, ask the owner first!
- Respect other people's space. - Avoid building directly beside, below or on top of another user's creation. Give them some room to expand.
- If it's not yours, don't touch it! - This is the most important rule, so I am listing it twice.
- Griefing will not be tolerated. Strictly enforced, any form of griefing will result in an immediate removal from the server.
Note: If you get banned, all of your work on the server will be rolled back as if you were never here. We will not lift any bans, period.
Groups:
We have four groups of users on the Creative server:
- Guest:
Guest is the default group for new users. While Guests cannot build anything, they can teleport, warp, spawn items, interact with objects and more. Guests are identified in-game by a grey name.
- Builder:
A Builder can do everything a Guest can do, but can also build and destroy, own land, have homes, use additional teleport options, and more. Builders are identified in-game by a '+' in front of their name.
- Moderator:
Moderators have access to a few extra commands to keep things running. Most importantly, Moderators have the power to promote Guests to Builder access. They also have the power to remove troublesome users from the server, and roll back any changes made by a griefer. Moderators can also teleport to you at any time, regardless of your settings, or teleport you to anywhere on the server at any time. They are identified in-game by a '@' in front of their name.
- Admin:
Administrators have access to all commands. They are identified in-game by a '~' in front of their name. The two administrators are vsTerminus and ajanata .

The PvE server runs CraftBukkit with a number of server plugins to enhance and protect the server. We also use a permissions system to prevent random griefing. Please contact a moderator to be given permission to build on our server.
Map Snapshot
We also have a real-time map that shows player locations. (Mouse-over the right side of the page to select an isometric camera angle, or underground map.)
Server Rules
We have a handful of rules on our PvE server. Hopefully these rules are common sense. These rules are replicated in-game in the spawn area.
- Do not grief. Nobody likes a griefer.
- Do not break anything you did not build. This is probably the most important rule. If it's not yours, hands off.
- Feel free to build anywhere that is not already claimed.
- TNT and fire are restricted. If you use either, any destroyed blocks will respawn in a minute or two.
Other Information
- Find (or make) a bed, and use it (even during day) to denote your home location. You will respawn there if you die.
Plugin List
- Compassionate. Makes your compass work better. You can change it between several modes.
- CreeperHeal. Restores blocks destroyed by creepers, TNT, and fire. The blocks do not respawn immediately, so watch out for other monsters!

Information common to both Creative and PvE servers.

Integrated IRC / Minecraft Chat
The chat in #minecraft and the in-game Minecraft chat are integrated by the IRCTransport plugin, currently under development by vsTerminus. Chat events will be seamlessly transported between IRC and Minecraft, along with joins, quits, and more.
