Foggy Willows is a server for people who actually want real vanilla Minecraft. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no datapacks and no plugins so the game feels like singleplayer but with other players around.
There is no big fancy spawn or walls of signs to read. You just join the world and start playing. You can build how you want and go where you want. Players are expected to handle their own social problems so it feels more like a real world.
The server is always on the latest stable vanilla version. It is self hosted on a machine that is made just for this server. There are no donations and no world border so the world can go really far.
There is no tp and no sethome so traveling and moving around actually matters. The server is on hard mode so mobs and survival are tougher. Technical Minecraft players are welcome here and there is also a Discord for people who want to talk outside the game.
Foggy Willows is for players who want all the quirks and challenges of real vanilla and are not looking for semi vanilla or plugin servers.
