A cooperative survival server

Your progress belongs to the whole sanctuary.

Project Sanctuary concentrates a small group around short contracts, visible before-and-after changes, and a community history that survives seasonal frontiers. There are no competitive purchases or shortcuts.

The core loop

One expedition. Five shared steps.

  1. 01

    Choose a contract

    Pick a rescue or restoration mission from the sanctuary board.

  2. 02

    Enter the frontier

    Travel into the current damaged habitat with your expedition team.

  3. 03

    Rescue and repair

    Gather supplies, restore terrain, explore ruins, and protect wildlife.

  4. 04

    Return resources

    Bring materials and rescued animals home to complete the contract.

  5. 05

    Change the world

    Unlock a permanent habitat, building, display, or story milestone.

First alpha mission

Replant the Habitat

A damaged frontier grove needs saplings, flowers, and careful hands. Restore it during a guided 30-minute expedition and contribute to the shared Seedling Grove milestone in the protected sanctuary hub.

Our promises

Small by design. Fair by default.

No pay-to-win. No gear, currency, land, power, faster progression, or queue priority for sale.

No store during alpha. The unpaid experience must prove it is worth returning to first.

Minimal data. Applications collect only contact email, Minecraft username, time zone, availability, and voluntary play-style answers.
