Minecraft Society
Common Interest
Welcome to the Official UoP Minecraft Society!! ⛏️
Whether you're a hardcore Minecrafter who's been playing for years or you're just coming back for your annual two-week Minecraft phase, everyone is welcome! Whether you enjoy building massive mega projects, cosy little cottages, mastering redstone, or just exploring with friends, this is the place for you :)
We have two main parts to the society, so there's something for everyone.
🎮 Society Events
Our regular society membership is open to everyone, whether you want to play Minecraft every day or just come along every now and then. Throughout the year we'll be hosting weekly Minecraft events including Build Battles, Bed Wars, Manhunts, PvP tournaments, Redstone challenges, Modded Minecraft sessions, community build projects and much more!
We'll also be running plenty of IRL socials, including BBQs, pub quizzes, bowling, board game nights, and collaborations with other societies, giving everyone the chance to meet new people outside of Minecraft.
🌍 24/7 SMP Server
For those looking for a longer-term Minecraft experience, we'll also be running a 24/7 Survival Multiplayer server.
The server will give members a place to socialise and build together outside of official events. We'll have a community spawn, shopping district, player-run towns, server-wide projects and seasonal events to keep things fresh throughout the year.
We'll also host server events such as:
- 🐉 Ender Dragon fights
- 🏗️ Community mega builds
- 🏆 Building competitions
- 🗺️ Treasure hunts
- ⚔️ PvP tournaments
- 💰 Economy & market days
- 🎃 Seasonal events and much more!
To help cover hosting costs, SMP access will require a small £5 fee per season. Every penny will go towards keeping the server running, improving it, and supporting future events and prizes.
So whether you're looking for a chill place to build with friends, a competitive community to challenge yourself, or just somewhere to meet other Minecraft players at UoP, we'd love to have you!
Join our Discord server below to become part of the community, chat with other members, find people to play with, get help with your builds, and stay up to date with all our upcoming events. We can't wait to see you there! ❤️
