### **About Us:**

SoftSlayer has been around for **14 years** (since June 2011). It’s a cozy spot with **15-35 players** online at a time. The map is **permanent** (no resets since June 2023) and we have **keepInventory** in the overworld. No pay-to-win stuff here! We use a whitelist to keep your builds safe.

### **Rules:**
Keep it chill! No griefing, stealing, cheating, or being mean. We want everyone to feel safe and happy here. If you can’t follow this, you might need to find a new server.
