This server is called Distant Lands and it is actually kind of scary in a cool way. When you join you do not spawn in some big hub or starter town. There is no safe market or public farm. You just get thrown out into the world totally alone.

The world uses a huge random spawn so every player starts really far apart. It feels like you are the first person to ever step there. There is no easy path or guide. You just walk and try not to die.

The server is vanilla plus so it keeps the normal Minecraft feeling. It has some small quality stuff and better stability but it still feels like classic survival.

Pvp is on and that is a big deal here. Raiding and stealing are allowed and are part of how the world works. There is something called the anarchy clause which basically means you are not protected. If someone finds your base they can fight you and take your stuff.

You have to be super careful with your coordinates. If you share your location it can be the biggest mistake. Friends can turn on you and people you trust can raid you. The server really makes trust feel risky.

If you like starting with nothing and building your own story this place fits that. You can end up as a legend a rumor or just disappear into the world like a ghost. The map is waiting for whoever is brave enough to build on it.
