Long description, tl;dr features list below:
Since 2010, the Summa Crossroads Minecraft server has been built on one great idea – that what we build should be fun and exciting. We’ve gone through multiple maps, updates, and plugin sets, always trying to find that delicate balance of fun, challenge, and drive. We’ve been around since alpha, and we’ve learned a lot. This server has been a lot of things for a lot of people, but it’s always been a good time.
Today, we feature a vast 16,000 by 16,000 map sprawling from edge to edge with beautiful custom biomes. It’s hand-painted and lovingly crafted – every inch is designed to bring the sense of adventure and vast scale that you may recall from your first days of Minecraft. Some residents have built towns and gathered the resources to construct their own waypoints, which you can unlock the ability to fast-travel to by venturing there yourself. Much of the landscape is yet unexplored, and each week new adventures are introduced.
For those who enjoy a good challenge, the overworld is bustling with deep caves, and the monsters that come out at night will be no allies. PvP arenas let you challenge your friends and humiliate your foes – paying you out for putting up a good fight. The Underdome and Woodland arenas let you demonstrate your gladiatorial might against wave after wave of things that go bump in the night, with spoils to those who entertain. Vast parkour challenges, one of which has only been completed by two players in the history of the server, will spare you no mercy. Unrelenting instanced temples will push you to your limits, giving you fame and fortune if you show the world that you are a true hero. Accumulate enough might and you can unlock ancient secrets, letting you use magic spells to control the world around you.
We think it’s important to foster a strong community, and our player ranks are thus tied to activity on the server. As you continue to build your legend and establish your presence, you will earn your way to glory and prestige.
Often times it’s the little things that make the biggest difference, and we have a plethora of precisely tuned pieces that keep the cogs turning. Little tweaks to the basics of Minecraft and bigger underlying systems designed to reward you for playing the game your way. We want players to have fun and enjoy themselves in a world that feels ready for conquest and adventure.
We’re a mature survival server, which means we won’t teleport you across the world – you’ve got to make the trek yourself. You might die, but you’ll get right back up again and keep fighting. That’s what the game is all about, after all! There are plenty of resources and friends to help you out on your adventures, but only you can keep yourself alive.
Some recent highlights:
We’ve been around since 2010, but we’re working on new stuff for you all the time.

Celebrate the release of our new Sockets system (and a new secret at the spawn castle) with 4x the drop rate for the rarest items on the server! Gear up and roll out with your squad to go monster hunting for rare loot.
Summon and conquer Champion monsters!
The fiercest monsters you’ve fought yet can be summoned by actively dispelling the darkness. Champion monsters are a challenge fit for a crowd! Rumor has it that if you can defeat them, you can unlock rare treasures stolen by the hordes of the dark armies.
RELEASED: Sockets!
Our new Sockets system has been released! Unlock the Sealed Potential of your items and infuse them with magical gems to become even more powerful! There are a variety of gems that can drop from monsters, and you can customize your items to your liking. Details about sockets are available on Patreon.

Our regularly-rotating worlds have all recently been regenerated! They are chock-full of resources for you to plunder and dangers for you to brave.

Hall of Accomplishments
Currently in development is a new area that will memorialize the first and/or best achievements of players on our server. With so many new features and challenges being introduced, we thought it only right to commemorate the efforts of our bravest heroes. Write your legacy and inspire others to follow in your footsteps! Examples for feats to be memorialized include the first player to complete the Tower of the Gods (Azilizan), the first players to complete each Temple, and more.
Colored repairs
Special items with colored names (read: rare mob loot) will now keep their names when repaired with anvils!
Back-end updates
We optimized and improved a lot of our back-end systems this week. Hooray, performance improvements!
