MCVerse is a mostly vanilla survival server made for long term projects and long breaks. The world is permanent and it is built around not losing your stuff to grief. It is a chill place where you can build at your own pace and not worry about resets.

The main survival SMP is a classic grind but you can also use player markets if you want. There are claims plus a map and stuff like clans and fishing contests. You can rank up for free just by playing and all perks are available for free.

Chat is kept pretty clean with low tolerance for swearing. Public chat is meant to stay on Minecraft and gaming topics.

There is also a hardcore vanilla mode that is no grief and has extra biome variety. If you want something simpler there is a vanilla no grief server with smaller claims and worlds that run for about 6 to 12 months. There is a creative plots server too for testing and basic experimenting.

It has some optional quality of life features like teleport. Builders also get fun decoration tools like armor stands mini blocks and heads.
