Some vanilla stuff is turned off to fit roleplay better like Elytra and Ender chests so people build more infrastructure and interact more.

Bordered is a Vanilla plus survival server on 1.20.1 and it just opened this week. It feels like a normal Minecraft world but with a few big twists that make it way more intense.
The world border starts small at 500 by 500 and it grows every time a new player joins. That makes the start feel crowded and dangerous then it slowly opens up as more people show up.
It also has an origins system with lots of custom picks and the owner is still taking suggestions. The big mode is lifesteal where killing a player takes one of their hearts and gives it to you. If you die to the environment you do not lose hearts so fights matter the most.
You can play however you want like a fighter builder or redstone engineer and just try to survive and get stronger.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
