Semi-Vanilla is essentially Minecraft, but with heightened aesthetics. We utilize plugins and datapacks that either add special effects or help improve previously existing mechanics. However, these additions don’t take away from the genuine Minecraft experience. That means you can join our server and utilize none of our plugins or datapacks, while still having a fun and wholesome experience playing the game.

In terms of plugins, we have administrative ones that help us run our server like Essentials and Grief Prevention. We also have ones for our players that add to the game like custom chats and cosmetic effects. In terms of datapacks, we create our own to help improve our world, such as a datapack that runs various functions at our Spawn. We also have unique datapacks, such as elytra armor, that allow our players to merge their chestplate and elytra on an anvil. So, when you do decide to join our Minecraft world, you can choose what plugins and datapacks you utilize! It’s all up to you on how you want to play the game!
