Sure, there are planned events- the server switches to minigames often, and arenas are under construction in the world- but many of Suncraft's in-game events are coordinated by you. For example, if you want to go to the End, find a stronghold. We don't do it all for you.
In Suncraft, you have to survive cooperatively with your friends. Go your own way and become the best player all by yourself? Sure. Group with friends to build a huge shelter envied by all? Why not? And since griefing is not allowed, you don't have to worry about your house being destroyed. And even if it is, we have backups. But that's not to say you can't raid, though- PvP is on and ready, so guard your chests!
