I love playing with other people, as i have had my share of lonely single player. I also love to build things in minecraft. Something about making something, standing back and going "I made that" really is a satisfying experience for any builder.

Yeah, Baron said it all already but I came across CM on a whim. My friend shneedster and I wanted a place to play when we weren't in the vicinity of each other, so we looked up CraftyMynes on a list of survival servers. TL;DR that was almost 9 months ago and I haven't looked back, nor did I think I would meet and get to know so many awesome people on here. #praiseCrafty

I played with Legos a lot as a kid, MC came natural and satisfied a love of organization when I picked it up in HS the summer of my sophomore year. I found CM when looking for a good vanilla server with good use of the command blocks, and things have only gotten more polished in the year I've been around.

We started playing MC because there was so much that could be done. It was like a plague that swept over us, there was something for everyone! But we played on consoles and we couldn’t all always play together with life's limitation. :(

So one of us, remaining unnamed, ventured out and found this amazing server where we could all exercise our individual talents! A clean environment not limited by invisible walls and silly ideas that only suited some.

Now, no matter when, what, or where from, we can still play together, helping each other.. Its something different for each of us but now we are never alone, bored, or left out and more of us are coming!

I Always played minecraft on my PlayStation and it's how I started to like it. As a kid I always played these knock off building games and I loved it.
Anyways after getting it on pc,I built a creative and survival world and spent a few months building on them. When a second account came into my hands, I gave it to my girlfriend at the time, in hopes we could play together.
I wanted a server like single player, but with a multiplayer thing to it. I couldn't figure out a lot of other servers, especially the commands on the bukkit and spigot ones (as i only ever played single player) so i decided on vanilla, as i knew that's minecraft without mods
The server was the first I came across on the list, and when I first came on I didn't feel as lost as I did on the others. I told everyone why I was here and I was kindly let live in a village with a few people. Later on my girlfriend at the time came on, and bascilly trolled people into thinking i was cheating on her and we let, and went on a creative one
When I came back on the next few times, instead of hate from her actions, people were kind to me and I explained what happened. Eventually I became better at the game, to the point of leaving my first village to live further out
The servers bascilly is all I could ever of dreamed of. It's exactly what I wanted in one, and the community has been one of the best ones I have ever seen. When I've been in a dark place instead of being ignored, or pushed to silence, I've only ever gotten support. I couldn't dream of playing on another server, it just wouldn't work. As far as I'm concerned, craftymynes is sorta like a home ^~^ with its community as a family

^ dis guy is right

I play here because of the amazing community. Everyone here is just amazing and I love talking to you guys. It usually cheers me up when I'm down. I haven't been on much but I know I'll be back once my computer is fixed. Y'all are great.!

R.I.P. Afritz's computer hopefully you get it fixed soon

@Eberk91 I hope so too!

This is story all about a Doge who stubled upon Minecraft and he played a singleplayer world until he got bored, but then he had two friends with who he played on an MP server, then those two idiots backstabbed him and then I started playing CM. I found it via those MC server sites and there you have it. :D

I just like to build shit then harass people til they look at it..... attention seeking behavior mostly is my motivation.

Y'all are great :D

Long story short, I started playing because my girlfriend, @Pimpcy , wanted me to
I stay on now because the community is actually pretty nice (Minus a few. But they know who they are.)

@argonFiles They haven't done anything to me personally and I haven't given them a reason to, but yea their attitudes are a bit too cocky for me.
theres also a couple others but lets keep this thread negativity and drama free :>

I've made more allies than I have enemies anyway. When I started I only trusted Pimpcy, but I've grown to trust about 4-5 more people and the community as a whole

Im playing here because i like chit chatting and trading with other players. The community is really friendly and i like playing with other players in around here.

Also i like playing minecraft as it is so..
As Bone mentioned it also feels good to build stuff in multiplayer so you can show it to other players to get more ideas, or help them build stuff etc.

The best part is building together, oh i really love doing that, it really is boring to build stuff in singleplayer even to test.
