Penzcraft

Penzcraft is a mature 24/7 Vanilla SMP server. There are no crazy plugins that takes away that vanilla feel that we all love. However, we feel that some plugins are required in order for the players to have a fun experience on the server, such as grief protection and an economy.

Our map is split into two sections, north and south, where the south is the peaceful non-PVP area and north is the crazy PVP area.

Everyone can come on the server, but you won’t be able to leave spawn until you have been approved.
