Horseshoe Valley is a small Minecraft server that is all about slow and comfortable progression. The End is not even open yet so it feels like everyone is still getting set up and learning the world together.
When you spawn you land right in a valley where people live. There are usually around 6 to 10 active members building and exploring each day so it feels social but not crowded.
The server uses plugins only and they are mostly quality of life stuff. The biggest change is a tree falling plugin so chopping trees is easier and you do not need any modpack.
Rules are taken seriously and the admin is on daily watching things. PvP is only if both people agree. Stealing and griefing can get you warned or banned depending on what happened. No hate speech anywhere and cheating is an instant ban. If you break rules you can get unwhitelisted and only come back if it was minor and you make it right by returning items or helping rebuild.
