Hey!

My name is Joshua and I'm 29yo.  Originally I'm from Canada but I've been living in Seattle for the last few years.  
I've been playing Minecraft since Alpha on and off and have ran numerous servers for friends and co-workers.  With such a limited user base they always just fell into disuse after a few months.  I've been wanting to play with a larger community but been worried about griefers but it looks like The Shire has a handle on that which is great.  

In Minecraft I like connecting buildings and regions to make it feel like a more connected world.  Rail, roads, boating routes, tunnels are what I usually focus on.  

Outside of Minecraft I'm very into fitness and outdoors.  I rock climb, camp, hike, swim, weightlifting, tennis, biking (road, mountain, freeriding) and anything that is active.  

Here is me nearing the summit of Mt Sir Donald in western Canada

I also work for a well known video game developer so as you can guess I'm a pretty avid gamer.  

Thanks and hope to see you in the Shire!
Joshua

    Welcome to the Shire, Joshua! Cool picture, by the way! :) Your application has been accepted and you have been promoted to Tyrule - this is where your Shire adventures shall begin! With this newly acquired rank, you can start building at /warp Tyrule 

    Here are a few tips to help you;

    • At Tyrule there are various boards filled with information about the server ranking, history and rules - I would reccomend giving them a read!
    • Tyrules are all set to survival mode, therefore, all supplies for building can be found underneath /warp Tyrule instead of having to gather and craft these resources. Just right click the [Free] sign of the desired resource of your choice
    • Tools and enchanting signs can be found at the South East corner of /warp Tyrule - to acquire a tool, right click one of the signs, and to enchant it, hold the tool and right click one of the [Enchant] signs. Tools are very handy as they allow you to easily edit and destroy your build.
    • Tyrules build in a plotworld - to claim a plot automatically, do /plotme auto or hover over an empty, untaken plot and do /plotme claim - you can access your plot anytime by doing /plotme home
    • Keep in mind, that your build does not have to be huge nor extremely detailed, as long as we get a sense of your building style - a smaller build can be ample too :)

    Once your build is complete, or if you wish to ask any questions, contact a member of staff - these are the members with blue titles or gold titles.

    I hope you have a lovely experience playing on the Shire! :)

    Hey there Joshua,

    Thank you for your membership application!

    We've accepted it, and promoted you to 'Tyrule'. This means that you can now build in the world at /warp Tyrule.

    When you're in that world, you may get materials for building from the room below the spawn.

    Tool enchantments and lots of information signs are available in the spawn area - explore it! 

    To get a spot to build on, you need to use the /plot auto command. To return to your plot, use the /plot home command.

    If you're looking for some cool projects to inspire you, here are a few warps to visit:
    • /warp Alsma
    • /warp Valashu
    • /warp Venice
    • /warp Laurelian
    • /warp Havana

    We do our best to keep griefing to a minimum! :D We make regular backups, so don't worry - we hope our server is the right fit for you.

    We hope you enjoy playing on the server. If you have any questions, please ask a member of staff!

    Best wishes,
    The Shire's staff team
