GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSpugunke SMP Semi Vanilla Crossplay

Spugunke is a new semi vanilla SMP that is all about long term survival and community. The world just started so early players can really shape the land and become part of the base history.
The server is focused on player made towns and teams. You can make your own town or join someone else and work on farms big bases or huge projects together. Some people might build pvp teams or exploration groups or resource squads. You can also play solo if you want. The server works for both chill players and more competitive ones.
Rules are relaxed but also fair so it stays fun. Griefing is not allowed. Stealing is not allowed. Random killing is not allowed. PvP is only allowed when everyone involved agrees. Town or team battles can still happen but only when people say yes so things do not turn into total chaos.
Spawn is planned as a real community area not just a spawn point. Players can add their own builds there and hang out. The server is social and people like to be online at the same time and talk in voice calls while they play so it feels like a small community.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock so different platforms can play together. It only uses vanilla style plugins that make life easier but do not change the core survival gameplay. There are basic commands like home and tpa and some protection tools plus a plugin that links things with Discord. There is also a future End event planned so players can gear up together for it. Moderators will be needed as the server gets bigger.
