CoreMC

PvE, Survival, Vanilla, Whitelist

🔥 🔥 🔥

CoreMC – Literally just Vanilla MinecraftTired of server resets deleting your progress? Think most plugins make the game too easy? Want to just… play Minecraft?I started CoreMC (formerly “Cat Land”) about 2 years ago because I wanted a simple, no nonsense Minecraft community where anyone is welcome from highly technical people to elaborate builders to casual players. After a few months of downtime from moving I’m re-launching and re-branding as CoreMC. The server is running the vanilla Minecraft server JAR, which means no plugins and pure vanilla gameplay. In addition, all gamerules are set to their defaults and there are no datapacks or command blocks.
