VanillaTrade is a fully autonomous minimal survival server that runs 24/7 without any staff or moderation. It is a Paper Spigot server that replicates a Vanilla server as closely as possible. However, players have access to a trading system for safely exchanging items with other players.

This server is brand new as of September 29, 2023, with no players, no advertising platform, and no activity. It is running on dedicated hardware which is expected to still be available 2 years from now. VanillaTrade is a long-term experiment project – it doesn’t have any plans to shut down in the future, and will require dedicated players to create a community in its early months.

VanillaTrade doesn’t have rules for conduct. You can do whatever you want on it. However, all players MUST use the vanilla Minecraft client. Cheats, mods, enhancements, and alterations to the client are the only thing that VanillaTrade forbids, and cheat prevention is active.

This server functions as an experiment in autonomy – there is no community management. Players alone are left to determine the server’s culture. If you join early, you might be able to establish influence.

Even though VanillaTrade has no rules, it still forbids behavior that violates federal US, Canadian, or Australian law.
