Northgate Survival

What Northgate is

Northgate is a seasonal survival server hosted in London. Each season runs roughly three months, ends with a community event, and then the overworld resets while your inventory, pets and a single claimed build get carried into the next map. It is the compromise between nothing ever changing and everything you built being gone.

The plugin stack is deliberately small: GriefPrevention for claims, a jobs system that pays out for mining, farming and fishing, and a cross-season vault. There is no custom enchanting, no rank ladder and no crate keys.

What makes it different

• Seasons with an ending. The last week of every season is a scheduled end-game event — usually a dragon rush or a build competition — instead of the map quietly going stale.
• Carry-over vault. Nine slots follow you across the reset, so the grind never fully restarts.
• Jobs, not shops. Income comes from playing, not from an admin shop selling diamond blocks.
• Staff who are online. Moderators are in-game most evenings in UK time and rollbacks usually happen within the hour.

The rules

• Claim your base. Anything unclaimed is fair game and staff will not roll it back.
• No hacked clients, no macros, no duping. Duping exploits get reported upstream, not hoarded.
• PvP is opt-in through a toggle; killing someone who has it off is a ban.
• Keep builds off the main road network — there is a marked corridor for a reason.
• One account per person. Alt accounts used to double up on jobs payouts get both accounts removed.

How to connect

Add mc.northgate.gg on port 25565 to your Java server list. No whitelist and no application — you can be mining within a minute. New players spawn in a tutorial hub that explains claims in about ninety seconds; skip it if you already know the drill. Season dates, the current map render and the event calendar all live in the Discord.
