I found a new public server made for the Homestead modpack by Tokimi. It runs on Fabric and the listed version is 1.2.9.4.
There is no whitelist so anyone can join and start playing. Griefing is allowed so it is smart to hide your house and not build in obvious spots.
The owner says to be kind and they will ban people if there is proof of stuff like swearing hate speech or other negativity. There is also a Discord where you can report players if you need to.
LegacyMC is a vanilla survival anarchy server that feels totally raw. It is an open world where there are no rules and no gameplay changing plugins.
The world does not reset and there are no land claims. There is no teleporting and the admins do not interfere. PvP is on and griefing and raiding are allowed so anything you build can become part of the story.
The server started in June 2025 so it is still early enough to make a real mark. It is hosted on dedicated hardware in Australia for low latency for Australia and New Zealand players. It is cost covered with no monetisation and no pay to win stuff.
