What’s Unique About Nostalgiacraft

🌟 Established in 2020: We avoid resets unless Mojang changes significantly how the worlds are generated (Our community is over 3+ years old)!
🌐 Large World Border: Due to our dedicated server storage, we have a 100k world border.
🔄 Inactive Chunk Refresh: Old and inactive chunks (6+ months) with no activity are deleted so you can have an easier server experience finding loot and building locations.
💰 Vanilla Item-based Economy: You are able to make vanilla shops, or you can use /trade with other players.
🌈 Exclusively Enhancing Your Quality of Life: Our gameplay strictly adheres to the Vanilla+ experience, ensuring that no additional plugins introduce new mechanics (such as claims or McMMO). However, the Vanilla experience is enhanced with commands such as /start, /spawn/togglephantoms, /trade, sitting on stairs, etc.
🔒 Graylist System: Our spawn area (1400 x 1400) is a safe and interactive environment reserved for members of our community to interact without the threat of stealing or PvP.
🚀 Active Community/Discord: There are always people online, make new friends and meet new people on Nostalgiacraft today!

Immerse yourself in a Vanilla+, community-focused, never resetting server! Join NostalgiaCraft today to experience the genuine gameplay experience you’ve always sought after!
