Near Vanilla is a close-knit community server where we’ve created an environment where players come together to build, collect, explore, and have fun. The perks of being a member can be seen in our cooperative builds, player competitions, vibrant shopping districts, and other events. All play styles are welcome, from those who want to venture out on their own to those who want to work cooperatively with others. We’re sure you will find exactly what you are looking for in your SMP experience while making some great friends and builds along the way.

Near Vanilla is an international, community-driven server. There is constant communication on our Discord, both serious discussion and silliness. We constantly seek the opinions and views of the player base and large changes are made through player discussion. Suggestions are always welcome. A dedicated admin team is always on hand to make sure things are working smoothly, bad behaviour is squashed, and your time on the server is stress-free. Our DynMap, which can be viewed through the website, allows you to navigate to your favourite biome and see how close/far you are from your fellow players.

If this all sounds like your kind of place, grab your sword and pick and jump into NearVanilla and show us the creations you can make! We doubled the size of our world to accommodate the 1.20 update. Apply now!
