Bedrock Realm That Actually Lasts
friendly communitylong-term worldMature Playersminigame nightsServer Events
This is a Bedrock survival realm that is meant to last more than a few days. It stays close to vanilla and adds some quality of life stuff so it feels fresh without getting weird.
Players can build towns or make group bases or just live solo. There are NPC shops and player shops so trading feels safe. There is also a currency system where you can earn money from ores and quests then buy buffs or particle trails and it is optional if you do not want to deal with it.
Events happen too like build contests and Spleef tournaments so you get a break from normal survival. If you die your items are not just gone because a gravestone shows up with your loot and it tells you the coordinates. It can even end up in lava or over the void so you still have to work to get it back.
The rules are strict about no griefing no hacking no stealing and no PvP. The community is mostly mature and busy people and there are no activity requirements. Discord is required to apply.
