only by choice – New Minecraft Servers (May 2025)

Davidscloud Servers

About Davidscloud: Davidscloud is a long-standing gaming community that believes in creating a place for all gamers to get together and enjoy playing various games together without worry of pay-to-win spoiling the enjoyment. Our community is friendly and works together to achieve a place everyone can find something to enjoy. Our Minecraft server, specifically, has been around since 1.7.10 and plans on staying around for a long time to come.

Player Protection: Our Minecraft server has variety of features for our members to enjoy. Key to keeping your experience enjoyable is our grief prevention system and friendly admin team. Players start off with 2,000 blocks they can claim, and accrue 120 every hour of playtime. These claims cannot be destroyed or built upon by anyone other than the Owner of the claim, or Trusted players. Plus your pets are also protected in the same fashion! If for some reason there’s ever a problem, our Admin team will investigate and assist whenever necessary.

Quality-of-Life: With us focusing on your security, you can focus on enjoying the features on our server that add to your survival chances should you choose to use them, completely free without pay-to-win! Such as our banking system that gives interest for every hour you play. This lets you save up some cash to spend at the Market set up at the Survival Spawn, where our new Merchants offer a small variety of goods, like fish, potions, wood, and other miscellaneous goodies you might be looking for.

Multiple Worlds: Bit bored traveling over the same old Minecraft landscape? Our server isn’t just the one traditional Survival world, it’s actually linked to another realm giving you more to explore! Find Zedmun at the Survival Spawn for the opportunity to be transported to our new Amplified World! Added in 1.18, it has all of the new caves and cliffs you could want with the added craziness of being amplified. Additionally, we’re working on adding an Event World and a Creative Plot World that would be accessed via our Hub so you will have even more places to enjoy. We would love to see you here when they launch!

Another Tidbit: Curious why Java and Bedrock were in the same title? Simple, that’s because our server now allows cross-play between the Bedrock and Java versions! Anyone can play on our servers regardless of if they play on console or PC, provided they have a paid Java account of course. That means you get to play with friends you might not of been able to before due to platform restrictions! Plus, with more people able to play on our servers the more fun can be had by all as our community grows. So we are looking forward to seeing you and your friends join us at Davidscloud!

The Rise of Morgoth

Modded, Morgoth, Rise

The Rise of Morgoth is a server that runs the Lord of the Rings mod developed by Mevans. Started back in 2015, the server retained a stable but small community for nearly a decade. Recently, the entire LotR Mod community has entered a lull of activity, though there are still servers and players that continue to play. Now is the perfect time for new players to try out the mod, especially on our server.

Our server is different from other LotR servers in that while we have factions, light roleplay, and lore in line with Tolkien’s works, we are somewhat lax and allow players to do what they want to do. For example, a player normally would need to achieve enough reputation to become the king of a faction, but if a group of players band together and proclaim one person king, they can rule de-facto until they are challenged.

Another distinguishing feature is that we allow for custom lore and characters, assuming that it would feasibly fit within Tolkien’s world. For example, a player create a character that would be the lord of a certain Rohirric city and play as said character. We even allow for lore from the First and Second age to apply to our world (to a limited degree). We want to focus on the Third Age, but after all, the server is called The Rise of Morgoth.

We grant any player access to temporary creative mode and some world edit features if they decide they want to take on a particularly challenging build, a feature not found in most LotR servers. All builds on the server are made by our own players, such as the Vintner Court, Cirith Ungol, Minas Morgul, Rivendell, and Baraz-Tum.

Besides the LotR mod, we also use CustomNPCs. This allows for players to go on quests created by staff. Current quests are short introductions to the good and evil factions, though there are more to come.

Players who are interested in a smaller community will find themselves at home at the Rise of Morgoth, and anyone interested in the Lord of the Rings should definitely try out the mod, as it’s one of the largest mods in existence. Whether you want a simple life to settle down in the Shire, or want to hunt orcs in one of the major kingdoms of Men or Elves, want to discover riches deep in the earth in a Dwarf hold, or relish in the raids and slaughter that issue out of Orc fortresses, our server has opportunities for all playstyles. The server is due for a resurgence, and many roles are unclaimed, so now is the time.

To join, you’ll need the latest version of the LotR Mod Legacyand CustomNPCs 1.7.10d. Everything you need to join is also available on our Wiki page, including our IP and a Modpack.

Spectre SMP

smp, Spectre

Spectre SMP is a vanilla 1.20.4 SMP based on the foundation set by Hermitcraft. We aim to provide a collaborative and friendly space for friends to play Minecraft together and for awesome creations to be made! Begone, playing singleplayer in multiplayer survival servers! Begone, being the only person making a beautiful megabase! ✨

What do we offer?

Spectre SMP offers a friendly and symbiotic community to help each other get what we want done! Players are encouraged to hold their events and communal projects, not just staff! 🫂
We focus on longevity, so you can expect a long-term world that continues to spark motivation in its players. We discourage speedrunning all the best farms and rushing to get every little thing you can; we want players to give back to the world by building beautiful builds and awesome redstone projects! 🏰
The economy is based on diamonds, which means you can sell your goods and services for that oh-so-lovely blue stuff! All the while, generosity is promoted, so no one holds a monopoly over anything important! 💎
The server comes with the wonderful Dungeons & Taverns structure datapack, as well as many Vanilla Tweaks datapacks installed to liven up the game and keep it from going too stale. ⚔️

We are looking for:

builders and redstoners who want to show off their skills and help make the server a fun environment. PVP and brainless grinding is not what we want.
players who interact often and well with other members.
creative and dedicated minds who set large and impressive goals for the long term.
active community members who will regularly set time to chat and discuss projects for the server.

If you’re interested in joining, hop into our Discord server. You can send us an application there.

SuperepicSMP

Modded, SuperepicSMP

SuperepicSMP [modded]

It has vr support for quest stuff, I also am adding mods that I think are neat like Friend & Foes, a mod that adds the excluded mobs from the mob vote into the game. I have a discord server for it and everything, if you don’t know how to mod on vr I will be making a tutorial for it that’s very easy to follow, vr isn’t necessary, it’s just the only way some people can play the game due to their pcs going extinct.

ARCHITECT SMP SEASON 5

EXPERIMENTAL SNAPSHOTS

We are currently playing on 1.20.4 with the 1.21 experimental snapshot features! (excluding the new trial chambers.) Having the fresh tuff blocks and extra copper additions, and more!

The ArchitectSMP is an inclusive and warm group with the aim of making a pretty world together brimming with stories, possible (super-secret) shenanigans, and amazing memories.

Our vision drives us to keep redstone use to a minimum, meaning we do have foundational rules to keep farming to a relaxed level of use.

We are looking for individuals who must be 21 years or older, preferably from the American or European time zones. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or just branching out, you’ll find a welcoming community of Architects from all walks of life who are always willing to join in, collaborate, and talk.

Join us to be connected to the stories of our homes, community areas, and player lore! From shops in the ground; to a megazord in the rocky sea. We can’t wait to see what you may create! Season 5 of Architect SMP has started late August, with plenty of time to join in on all the Season 5 shenanigans!

-= APPLICATIONS =-

Join our discord, go to the #application channel, and fill in the application at the top!

We may ask to see screenshots of your favourite build to show us your style, inspirations, and overall vibe as a possible future Architect!
