Vanillacraft is a semi vanilla survival server that tries to feel like normal Minecraft with friends. It does not have all the crazy plugins that change the game. There are no GUI shops and no economy plugin and no pay to win ranks.

The world is all about player choice. There is no land protection so you can build wherever you want. Griefing is not really a problem because there is Coreprotect and an active staff team watching over things. The community is very friendly and new players usually get help fast.

The server has a player run economy with real player shops. There is a community spawn with farms and helpful stuff. There is also a market district where players sell almost anything you need if you want a little head start.

There is no teleportation so you travel the old school way. People use the nether roof or an elytra to get around the world. There is no server store at all so progress comes from playing the game instead of paying money.

The server just started a new season after resetting the old world. That makes it a good time to join because everyone is closer to the same level. It is an active server where you usually see the same players online a lot so it feels like a real community.
