iceanarchy

Anarchy, PvP, Survival, Vanilla

🔥 🔥 🔥

IceAnarchy is a place to uphold a long time community of mine. I have operated and developed for minecraft servers across three separate domains since early 2020.

Everything about my server is pretty much fully custom. No poorly programmed plugins from skidded repositories, no bad SpigotMC plugins, you get the picture. All patches, server commands, and subtle gameplay features and aspects have been developed solo by me.

The goal of IceAnarchy is to be as minimalistic as possible. Very little gimicks, a simple dupe, and the only non-vanilla aspect being the use of 32ks in the form of Auto32k (Dispenser-Hopper setup).

You can join using 1.12.2 or later at iceanarchy.org

Once you are established on the server, craft your own God items with anvils using vanilla enchants that are able to be upgraded past their normal limits. Each server rank (obtainable with play time) has a higher enchant limit. Craft an Efficiency VIII Pickaxe with Fortune X to help you acquire resources, or some God armor with Protection XV. Come be a part of a new community and help us grow! We ran a very successful OP Towny server in early 2016 and decided that it would be fun to come back and try again. The world border is at 75,500 x, z, -x, -z, That is 5,700,250,000 blocks, 22,266,601.5 Chunks, plenty of room for exploration and building. The border will expand as needed.
