Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy server that tries to feel like real vanilla survival. It opened on October 11th 2024 and it runs all day and all night.
You can join with a lot of different Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 but they say 1.21.10 is best so stuff does not bug out. The world border is huge and goes out to 2 million blocks so there is tons of space to explore build and fight.
The server has no map resets and no teleporting so you actually have to travel. There is no pay to win at all. Griefing is allowed. Pvp is allowed. You are basically free to do what you want. The only non vanilla thing you can do is use spawn so players really far away are not stuck forever. Nether roof access is allowed and phantoms are removed and only half the people online are needed to skip the night.
There are a few rules so the server does not get ruined. Exploits and lag machines are not allowed. Duping is not allowed. Spamming is not allowed. Harassment and racial slurs in chat are not allowed either.
If you want a mostly vanilla world with chaos and very few rules this server feels like a cool place to try.
