NostalgiaCraft is a vanilla style SMP that keeps things simple. It feels like playing Minecraft with friends with no extra bloat.
Griefing is not allowed and there is a protected spawn with active staff. The world has been running since 2020 and it does not reset so your builds can stick around.
The map is huge with a 300k by 300k border and the server aims for 20 TPS on dedicated hardware. The economy stays pure vanilla with player shops and trading and no made up currency.
You get a few vanilla plus quality of life commands like sethome and spawn and togglephantoms. It supports both Java and Bedrock and it was updated to 1.21.11.
It also uses a graylist system so you can join fast without an application. Spawn is protected for trusted members and outside is survival but griefing is still against the rules.
