PeaMC is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like old Minecraft. It keeps it simple so you mostly just survive travel and build without stuff getting in your way.
There is no teleporting and there are no land claims. You have to move around the world the normal way and find your own spot. You can also make teams and invite friends.
It is crossplay for Java and Bedrock and it supports 1.7x to 1.21.11. PvP is allowed but there is newbie protection for the first hour so you do not get spawn killed. Maces are banned.
The server is whitelist based and the community is meant to be chill. Staff are active in game and in Discord.
Rules are focused on keeping things fair. No hacks or exploits and no harassment or slurs. Griefing and stealing are not allowed even though PvP is on. Destructive PvP like crystals beds anchors TNT and minecarts is not allowed since it can wreck builds.
