Vanillacraft is a survival multiplayer server that tries to feel like normal Minecraft with way less extra stuff. It is meant to be fun and friendly and it stays away from the big plugin overload that ruins the vibe on other servers.
There is no server shop and no pay to win ranks. There are also no economy plugins and no GUI shops. The economy is run by players with player made shops and a market district so you can trade if you want a boost.
You can build wherever you want since there is no land protection. Griefing is handled by active staff and a Coreprotect setup so it is not a huge worry.
Travel is done the old way since there is no teleportation. People move around using the nether roof or elytra. The server has a community spawn with farms and other helpful stuff and the playerbase is loyal so you tend to see familiar names online.
Geopolitics PvP Nations With Real Consequences
Golden Nations is a geopolitical Minecraft server where players make nations and try to survive politics and war. You can lead with diplomacy or just go full conflict and see who lasts.
It runs on version 1.21.11 and the world is 5000 by 5000 so people are forced to interact early. With no elytras travel and borders matter a lot.
The economy is player driven so the market is controlled by players. You can still sell food crops and ores but the rest is shaped by trading and what nations decide to do.
Wars are high stakes because if you die in an official war you get banned for 24 hours and your character is fully reset. Fishing is also changed with custom loot tables so it can give rare stuff that matters.
There are no villagers so there is no infinite trading and no easy shortcuts. It feels competitive and every alliance and betrayal can change the map.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGoPlay 1.21 Fair Survival SMP
GoPlay is a Minecraft 1.21 server that is trying hard to keep survival fair clean and long term. The big thing is it is not pay to win and perks are earned instead of bought.
The main mode is SMP with a brand new spawn. It has random teleport in the Overworld Nether and End. You can claim land and set up player shops. You can also use flight time inside your own claims and you earn that by voting.
There are custom 1.21.4 packs for bases and cosmetics plus player vaults for extra storage. The End dragon can be respawned so people can keep going back to the End.
There is also a Vanilla mode that stays very close to pure Minecraft with no added mechanics and it still has random teleport. The server is paid for out of pocket so you can just play and not feel pushed to buy stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSwiftServers Free Hosting No Lag
