UneasyVanilla is a semi anarchy vanilla server that tries to stay as close as possible to normal Minecraft. It feels like the game you know but with way more chaos and surprise.

The world is over four years old so everything looks lived in and busted. When you first join you spawn inside a maze of lava casts and griefed terrain. It is kind of scary and really cool at the same time. If you can escape spawn you can go out and build bases and explore on your own.

The server has a mix of anarchy and survival. People can fight raid and pull tricks on each other so you always have to watch your back. Still there are some simple rules so the server runs smooth and does not get ruined by cheaters. Staff work to keep things fair and protect the server performance.

The community feels tight and relaxed even though the world is dangerous. You can make alliances do big building projects or just wander and see what other players built and destroyed. Every trip feels like something unexpected could happen.

If you want a raw vanilla experience with an old world and a bit of lawless energy then UneasyVanilla is a good place to try.
