Semi Vanilla SMP Starting Soon
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
ArcticMC New Towny Factions SMP
ArcticMC is a new SMP that started a couple days ago. It feels like a chill survival server where people can just play and not deal with nonstop chaos.
The main gameplay is Towny and factions. You can build a town then team up with others or claim your own space and fight over territory.
PVP matters here but they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. There is also McMMO so you level up skills while you play and unlock abilities.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the land looks more realistic with big mountains and valleys. They also have custom items like furniture and they plan limits to help reduce lag.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTOTAL VANILLA JUST DROPPED NO ADMINS
