GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPZest Creative Citybuild With Optional RP
Zest Creative is a longtime creative city build server with a tight knit active community. The world uses a very large custom terrain map and people build cities together over time.
To get in you join the discord first and do a short application. It is mainly there to filter out griefers. After that you can earn access to WorldEdit and other helpful commands and really show what you can do.
Roleplay is optional but it is there if you want it. Players do geopolitical RP and lore and worldbuilding as the world grows. You can mark a claim and staff will show it on the map then you can start your story. You can also mark towns and settlements.
The rules are laid back and there are events once in a while. Staff and players are usually around to chat critique builds and team up on big projects.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Reset Survival and Skyblock Forever
VW Reloaded is a long running Minecraft server that has been up for over 10 years and it does not reset the world. The whole point is that your builds and farms and progress are supposed to last so it feels like a real home.
It has Survival and Skyblock. People on here build big bases and huge farms and also do serious redstone projects. There are custom mechanics but it is not trying to be confusing.
The vibe is calm and more mature. The community has a lot of veteran players and there is active moderation to keep builds safe. It is meant to be grief free so you can focus on steady progress instead of starting over all the time.
The server version listed is 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
