Foggy Willows

Foggy Willows is all about simplicity. Running on the latest vanilla jar with no datapacks or plugins, unlike 95% of servers that claim to be vanilla. We strive to give you a plain boring vanilla experience. There is no fancy confusing spawn or 100 anecdotes you have to read. Be warned, players are expected to sort out their own social issues. Play how you want to play. We have a small player base of normal people, but are looking to expand.
