FreakCraft is a survival server that is trying to be truly vanilla. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks.
The spawn is simple and there is not a bunch of stuff to read. You are expected to handle your own social problems and just play how you want.
There is no tp and no sethome so travel and choices matter. Technical players and redstone people will fit in if they like the real vanilla quirks and challenges.
It stays on the latest stable vanilla jar and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine.
