The Twistd SMP is a completely vanilla Bedrock SMP that is looking for chill players who just want to play normal Minecraft.
The community is dedicated and friendly and people are usually down to chat. The owner cares a lot about keeping the rules honest and the server fair.
You can build and you can also pvp. Stuff like griefing and stealing is allowed too so it can get intense.
A new season is coming very soon so it is a good time to join and stick around.
VanillaSMP is a survival server that is trying to be actually vanilla. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar and it does not use datapacks or plugins.
The spawn is not some huge confusing place. You just get in and start playing. People are expected to deal with their own social problems so it feels more like real multiplayer.
There is no tp and no sethome so you have to travel the normal way. You can build what you want and play how you want. Technical Minecraft players are welcome too.
The server stays on the latest stable vanilla version and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine.
Foggy Willows is a survival server that is trying to be actually vanilla. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar and it does not use datapacks or plugins.
The spawn is not trying to be fancy and you are not forced to read a bunch of stuff. People are expected to handle their own social problems so it feels more hands off.
You can play how you want and build what you want. It is on hard mode and it stays on the latest stable vanilla version.
It is self hosted on a purpose built machine. There are no donations and no world border. There is also no tp or sethome. It has a Discord and it is for Java.
This server is called Straight Up and it feels like old Minecraft but on a huge long term world. The overworld has never been reset since 2019 so there is a lot of history to find and old bases and stories all over the place.
It is survival with no land claims no /tpa and no /home. There is no currency and no factions or big economy plugins so the game is just normal vanilla survival. PvP is on and griefing is allowed so you have to be careful where you build and who you trust.
They use proximity voice chat if you install the Simple Voice Chat mod so you can talk to people who are near you in game. The server is optimized to run smooth and they have anticheat that tries not to mess with normal players but still stops big exploits.
Overall it is a pretty serious survival server where players shape the world and nothing gets wiped so every build and every fight can stay there for years.
PlainSMP is starting Season 2 and it feels like a fresh start.
The server is pure vanilla survival on Java 1.21.11. There is no pay to win and no extra stuff that changes how Minecraft is supposed to feel. It is just normal survival where you gather your own gear and build your own place.
The community is small but really into the game. People here want a dedicated group of players who actually like playing Minecraft a lot and not just jumping from server to server.
Proximity voice chat is encouraged for players who like talking while they play. It makes exploring and building with other people feel more real.
For Season 2 the big change is that PvP between players is now allowed. The idea is to make survival feel more realistic and a little more intense compared to the last season that was more focused only on calm community play.
To join you have to get whitelisted first through an application so the server can stay safe and chill.
This server is a totally simple Minecraft world where you just play survival and chill.
It is mostly vanilla but there are a few plugins to help with moderation stuff. There is no towny and no shop system. You just play Minecraft like normal and work with other players if you want.
It is made to feel like classic Minecraft without a lot of extra features getting in the way. If you want a clean basic survival place this is what it looks like.
This server is called MCVerse and it is made for people who want a long term world. The main idea is a classic survival grind that does not reset. You can work on big projects for years and you do not have to worry about losing everything.
The gameplay is almost pure vanilla. There are no custom items no custom enchants and no extra skills. There are a few teleports and some quality of life things. Builders get helpful tools like armor stand editing mini blocks and decorative heads.
You can play like you are in single player or you can trade with other players. There are player markets if you want to skip some grinding or you can do everything yourself. Ranks and perks are unlocked just by playing and they are free.
The community is mixed in age and has players from different places. Public chat is kept clean with low tolerance for swearing. Chat is mainly for Minecraft and gaming so it stays calm and focused.
There is a permanent survival world and also a hardcore vanilla world. There are extra servers for testing pure vanilla style and a creative plots world for experiments and litematica pasting. Events are mostly made by players and supported by the admins.
The world has been running for a long time already and the goal is around ten years total. It is all about chill long term survival where you can build at your own pace and still feel safe when you take long breaks.
I found this server called UneasyVanilla and it is a vanilla anarchy world with no hacking allowed. It has been running since March 10th 2020 so the world feels old and lived in.
The idea is to play Minecraft the way the developers made it. There are no gameplay changing plugins. There is no teleport and no sethome. There is no grief protection. There is no forced economy so players make their own trades and groups.
Griefing and raiding are allowed so you always have to watch your back. People can attack your base and steal your stuff. But hacks and cheats are not allowed so fights are more fair and based on real skill.
When you join you can run into random players anywhere. Sometimes you might team up with them and sometimes they might try to kill you. You can build huge projects or just wander and survive. It feels like a risky survival world where anything can happen.
This server is called Cozy Craft and it is all about simple survival.

The overworld and nether are not planned to reset so you can build big bases and projects without worrying they get wiped. There is no whitelist and no pay to win stuff. There is also no money plugin so players trade and use the public shopping district instead.
You can claim land to protect your builds and griefing is only allowed in areas that are not claimed. The server uses CoreProtect and has an online world map so you can look around the world from a browser.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock players. There is random spawn inside a big area and you can use rtp to get far away and then set a home when you find a place you like. There are also free events with prizes that anyone can join.
