SurvivalGG

Description

SurvivalGG (also known as "survival.gg") is a feature-rich survival multiplayer (SMP) server with a welcoming community. The server is notable on Minehut for making an appearance on multiple Discord livestreams during the extended outage period, showcasing diverse builds, an extensive amount of vehicles, and customized features such as the Multi Tool. In these streams, Puremin0rez, a current administrator of Minehut, remarked that the server was robust in handling a large influx of players (100+ peak during the stream), making it an ideal SMP server. Today, SurvivalGG stands as a thriving SMP server with a passionate staff team paving the way for SurvivalGG to become the premier Survival server.

History

SurvivalGG comes as a successor of the server Respawn, a largely successful server owned by Spaz_, a passionate server owner with years of experience, being one of the first prominent members of the Minehut community as an Administrator alongside Luuke, the founder of Minehut. SurvivalGG began development in March 2024, lead by Vedlon, another relevant member of the Minehut community with extensive experience moderating Minehut as an official moderator as well as creating servers on Minehut. WardleDeBoss ("Wardle") is a significant contributor to development on SurvivalGG with years of plugin development and server administration under his belt. Further, both Vedlon and Wardle are extremely talented individuals with a great work ethic, who were sparked by a desire to make the epitome of SMP servers both on Minehut and Minecraft as a whole. The development period took a decent amount of time as both Vedlon and Wardle put a collective hundreds of hours into cultivating the highest quality possible, many plugins being highly customized, with quite a few being developed in Java by Wardle.

In the process of developing SurvivalGG, Vedlon onboarded managers Faacto and Motionq, each widely recognized members of the Minehut community. Faacto was a Minehut staff member for a combined four years, whose highest rank was Senior Moderator. Motionq was a Minehut staff member for three years, being a staff manager for two of these years. Motionq made extensive revisions to the staff team of SurvivalGG predecessor Respawn, boosting its quality tenfold in preparation for the release of SurvivalGG. Faacto assisted Wardle with plugin development and took on various management responsibilities to bolster the release of the server.

SurvivalGG released on May 4, 2024, welcoming many previous Respawn players onto the server, later inviting even more Minehut players onto the server through the Minehut Lobbies and Discord streams. SurvivalGG released with a subset of the features it has today, since implementing a plethora of unique concepts such as the Wishing Well and Resource World, continuing to push updates frequently. After release, CrazyFloof ("Floof"), a seasoned administrator of Respawn, joined the management team alongside Faacto and Motionq on May 13, 2024 to take the wheel on staff management, with Motionq using his ample experience to advise Floof. To date, both Spaz_ and Motionq continue to advise the management team as Advisors on SurvivalGG. While relatively new to staff management, Floof took on the role with a great passion and dedicated herself to improving on the groundwork that Motionq did while establishing SurvivalGG, such as creating and revising new documentation, and overall making the staff process more comfortable for any new staff. Her nurturing presence on both the team and server have allowed the staff members to flourish along with the community.

Recently, SurvivalGG has taken to hosting events for the community to increase activity further, such as building contests and mini games. A fully inclusive list of past events on SurvivalGG is available below. SurvivalGG aims to deliver events weekly, maintaining the quality emphasized in the main Survival server. To assist with the events, Ninventoo, another prior Minehut moderator, who was widely known in the community in 2017-2020, was brought on as a Manager on July 12, 2024 to lead these events, bringing ample management experience from the widely known Faithful Minecraft resource pack as well as extensive experience creating and managing Minehut servers in years prior.
