⭐ Welcome to the world of FlayCraft – where every block and every adventure comes alive with new possibilities and amazing discoveries!

☀️ Our Minecraft servers offer not just a game, but a real journey into a magical world, where a friendly community and a great atmosphere await every adventurer.

We pay special attention to convenience, quality and stability in all our modes. And here they are:

⚡ Survival: Here you will find the support and friendliness of our players, ready to help you every step of the way. In this mode, theft and damage to other people’s buildings is prohibited, and to further protect you from this, you can protect your home using private messages and enjoy freedom without fear of griefing. Discover a variety of mechanics, including unique jobs, casinos, duels and many other equally interesting systems, the list of which is updated daily. We develop game mechanics taking into account the basic principles of Minecraft, which maintains the high vanilla nature of our server. Be a dream builder or a brave explorer as you create your world together with other players.

✨ Vanilla+: This mode is based on classic vanilla survival, but with slight improvements. Only a minimum set of the most necessary commands is available here – no teleportations, houses, privates or other unnecessary functions. But that’s not what makes Vanilla+ stand out. Its main features are a new, exciting world generation, an improved trading system with residents, incredibly exciting fishing and, of course, a warm and friendly community.

⛱️ Events: Get ready for exciting events that happen regularly on our servers! From epic battles with unique bosses to exciting races and simple parties, we always have something interesting for everyone.

☄️ Feel the inspiration and opportunity to create your own unique path on our server. We are waiting for you!
