Chill Vanilla Survival With Fresh Terrain
community-drivenNew Player Welcomeproximity voice chatterrain overhaulvanilla plus feel
I found a new Minecraft server that is trying to get more active players. Right now it is super quiet so it is a good time to join early and help shape the community.
It runs vanilla 1.21.11 with some terrain generation mods so the world should feel more interesting to explore. There is also simple voice chat if you want to talk while you play.
The Nether and the End are disabled for now. The owner said it is to slow things down so people do not speedrun then quit. There is also a world border around 4k blocks so everyone stays closer together.
The vibe is more about building and making the world feel alive. They want players to make towns and civilizations and countries with some lore instead of everyone hiding underground grinding for no reason. Whitelist will be turned on later once there are enough active players.
