UneasyVanilla is a vanilla survival server with a semi anarchy vibe. It tries to stay true to the original Minecraft feel while still having some rules.

It feels lawless at times but the staff still keeps things fair. Cheaters get banned and they care about keeping the server running smooth. You can play solo or team up and run into people when you least expect it.
It supports version 1.21.8.
