This is a new season of a server called North Vanilla. It is a survival world that plays like real vanilla. There are no gimmicky plugins and no TPA so you actually have to travel to find people.
The server is semi anarchy. That means it is less strict and players have a lot of freedom. There is no mention of claims or special protections. The world is driven by what the players do together.
This is season 2 and the first season was used to test stuff. Now they want to go full throttle and get as many players as the server can handle. The server runs in Europe and uses the newest version of the game.
The community already has a healthy playerbase that is excited to start this new season. It feels like a good place if you want a fresh start and want to leave your own mark on the world. The server does not support cracked accounts.
North Vanilla Season 2 Semi-Anarchy SMP
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBareBonesMP Hardcore Plus Survival
This is a hardcore plus style server that feels almost like old school vanilla but with a twist. Every time you die you lose one heart and you can go all the way down to only three hearts. To get hearts back you have to craft heart crystals using echo shards and diamond blocks. Heart crystals can even give you extra temporary hearts up to twenty total but when you take damage those extra hearts go away first.
The world is basically vanilla with no teleport commands and all block damage turned on like fire spread and creeper explosions. You still are not allowed to steal or grief so it is not an anarchy server. The community is built around a whitelisted main SMP that started in 2019 and people compare it to a hermitcraft style server with a close knit vibe.
There are events hosted every weekend and mayor elections every month. There is also an optional cozy modded server and an extra hardcore server if you want more challenge. The server runs 24 7 on a dedicated machine and it is focused on smooth gameplay with quality of life tweaks like leaderboards better sleep and heads. The discord is active and players use optional proximity voice chat plus cross chat between game and discord so the server always feels alive.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGolden Nations Geopolitical PvP Survival
Golden Nations is a semi vanilla PvP server where everything is about nations and politics. Players create nations and lead them with diplomacy or war. You can make constitutions and treaties and every decision really matters.
The economy is completely run by players. You can still sell basic stuff like food crops and ores but everything else has to come from trade and production between players and nations. Controlling resources and trade is super important if you want power.
War on this server is very serious. When you die in an official war you get banned for 24 hours and your character gets fully reset. This makes battles really intense and leaders have to think carefully before fighting.
There is custom fishing with special loot tables so fishing can give rare materials and useful items that can change how strong a nation is.
There are no elytras and no villagers at all so travel and logistics are harder and nations have to depend on real players instead of easy trading. The map is 5000 by 5000 so nations are close together and are forced into early diplomacy conflict and teamwork.
If you want a server where politics matter and war has real consequences Golden Nations is made for you.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBareBonesMP Hardcore Plus Survival
BareBonesMP is a hardcore plus survival server that feels like old school Minecraft. When you die you actually lose a heart and you can go all the way down to only three hearts. To get your hearts back you have to craft a special heart crystal with an echo shard and a diamond block.
