    sVanilla Survival: The Original SMP Experience – for Java and Bedrock editions.

    🔗 IP: corn.gg / Bedrock Port : 19132

    🌎 Region: AND East

    sVanilla Survival goes back to the roots of what a Semi-Vanilla SMP should be. Vanilla, with few quality of life modifications. We’re dedicated to providing the old-school SMP experience, with a large map that never resets, no land claims, and most importantly – crystal free PvP.

    Why choose sVanilla Survival?

    ⛺ Survive and Thrive: We’re dedicated to bringing back the old-school survival experience. No overwhelming mods, no flashy gimmicks, just the core of what makes Minecraft, Minecraft.

    ⚔️ PvP Without Crystals and Anchors: We believe that the current PvP meta is a detriment to the survival experience. With this in mind, crystal PvP has been disabled in favor of swords, axes, and bows.

    🛠️ Minimal Modifications: While we love vanilla, we also understand the need for a few tweaks. We’ve implemented a few quality-of-life modifications to enhance gameplay without deviating from the authentic feel. Teleport commands are provided for convenience.

    🤝 Trading Based Economy: There are no economy plugins, the server economy is based on trading with other players.

    🗺️ Boundless Exploration: With no land claims and an expansive world border, feel the true freedom of exploration, build without constraints, and lay claim to any corner of the world that captures your heart.

    🗿 Permanent Legacy: Say goodbye to the fear of losing your hard work. Our map is permanent and will never reset, so the monuments you build today will stand as a testament to your creativity for years to come.

    But wait, there’s more!

    🧨 TNT Duplication: Making your mark on the world just got better. Piston and slime based TNT dupers are enabled, which means you can build tree farms or blow a giant chasm into the terrain!

    Join sVanilla Survival and be a part of a community that honors the essence of Minecraft. Experience the game as it was meant to be played. Dive in, and enjoy your Minecrafts!

  • Trotuserver

    Trotuserver

    (Java Edition, but bedrock players can join as well)(Gallery in Useful Links Section)

    Trotuserver is a Semi-Vanilla Survival Geopolitical (Civs) Roleplay Server. It’s not too big so it doesn’t feel crowded, but it’s big enough to be very dynamic and have a strong community. We take roleplay and politics fairly seriously, and have fun doing it! The server has been run by the admins for almost 5 years – starting as a small server of classmates to an international server with a lot of history. We are primarily an English-speaking server, although we accept all people who speak different languages. The roots of the server used to be Argentine so a lot of old books or documents are written in Spanish.

    The server is International so we have people from the USA, Argentina, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, UK, and many more.

    The Basics: There are civilizations of all different kinds, with different cultures, religions, and government structures, and as such they have conflicts, but most importantly politics!

    A lot of stuff has happened recently, is happening currently, and happened ages ago. Countries collapsing, new countries rising in power, death… and of course the repeating of history – good and bad. In general, we find ourselves to be a pretty fun and chill community – in and out of roleplay!

    Warning: We are not looking for people who just PVP and don’t roleplay or interact politically. PVP and wars are the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

    We also like to goof around and just hang out on our Discord server and talk. The server is always active in the discord and generally discusses a wide range of topics both in RP and out of character.

    We also have a subreddit at r/Trotuserver_Official!

    It’s recommended to join a pre-existing nation to get established in the server before going off to make your own legacy!

    Many nations have fallen, and risen from the ashes. Some examples of fallen nations/Organisations would be Keoland, Cinder, Astoria, and Rugwane.

    =-=-=-=-=

    Technical side: Generally, we stray from having a large number of plugins, so everything added is QOL (Quality of life) or enhances RP to an extreme level (Such as the map painting plugin).

    There is a generation from back in 1.13 as the server is over 4 years old.

    Basic Rules: The basic server rules are simple and standard, but we take them very seriously:

    * Don’t Grief

    * Don’t Steal

    * Don’t Hack

    * Don’t Dupe (No copying items/blocks)

    Discord Rules:

    • Follow Discord’s community guidelines
    • No threats or content encouraging or directly depicting suicide or self-harm
    • Harassment towards others isn’t welcomed here
    • If a mod asks you to stop doing something or to change channels, respect that
    • Do not use RP channels/threads for out-of-character messages
    • No gore or nudity.

    (In our official discord, there are more rules relating to specific channels that are not listed here)

    There are also rules of the war that are longer and more complicated so here’s a link:

    Application: To apply for the server, you need to have an interview with one of its members. If you are interested and want to join the server – join the discord (here) and you can start an interview through the support-ticket channel. You’ll be added to a waiting room on the discord whilst the admins review your interview, and then either accepted or denied!

    Again, if you have any questions please leave them in the comments and we will answer them ASAP! Thank you so much for reading, have a great day and we hope to see you on the server 🙂 <3

  • Duality SMP

    Duality SMP

    Duality SMP is a survival multiplayer server similar to Hermitcraft in spirit: mostly vanilla with a few quality of life plug-ins; small and friendly community; group events / teamwork; shopping district, etc. We are community-run — major decisions, plugins/datapacks, updates, events, and server software are decided together, transparently. Admins have the same rank and voice as other Duality members.

    We will be on 1.20.4 for Season 5!

    In order to cultivate the best community we can, we collect and screen applications for new Dwellers, then decide together who to add to the whitelist for the next season.

    We are entering our 5th season soon and will be performing a world-reset on July 1st, 2024 – on a fresh world – we’d love for you to join! Especially if you are trustworthy and work well in a team. Our players have a lot of freedom and we essentially use an honor system.

    In the meantime we have a public SMP available for anyone to join! We are using a very similar setup to Hermitcraft Season 10, with a fabric server, the Simple Voice Chat mod, armor stands, vanillatweaks datapacks, etc. You only need a vanilla 1.20.4 minecraft client to join, but we also allow fabric modded clients with stuff like Litematica and MiniHUD.

    Please feel free to join the discord and introduce yourself! We will be opening applications soon!

    Primary IP: dualitysmp.net

    You must join the discord and whitelist yourself in order to play on the temporary public server. (This is to keep out IP scanners, bots, and griefers). There are no other requirements, though. Discord: https://discord.gg/eCtcpRUj

  • Idiots In A Rock

    Idiots In A Rock

    Ok hi. Overlong life story of this server:

    so basically me and my group of friends have gone through a cycle of starting up heavily modded SMP type servers with most of them dying out after only a few weeks. We’ve come up with various attempts to solve our inevitable server burnouts which is a situation I’m sure many of you can relate to.

    And we’ve come up with a solution… by stripping back the game and harnessing the classic golden age mindset, by starting a vanilla server and just… playing the game without any massive preconceptions or goals or ideas.

    The server started off pretty normally. A few of us sorta scattered in different directions and started building bases or whatever. But one of us decided right off the bat to create a lavacast at spawn… ok, why the fuck would you do that??

    Well maybe we were all feeling a little bored of playing the game normally, because we started actually helping the guy expand the cobblestone lavacast since frankly it was kinda funny.

    Well, this and that happened and we are now basically termites that live inside of a cobbblemonster that is slowly but surely growing due to our grueling efforts of placing down lava and water buckets respectively. It even got big enough to swallow an entire village which was basically casted by the descending lava. Sorta like one of those anthill videos on youtube.

    If you’re looking for a chill, simple but gimmicky vanilla experience that hearkens back to the old MC days, feel free to join us. We don’t intend to grow that big or anything; we’re just a group of friends bein dudes inside of a stupid mass of cobblestone. God we hate it here. Fuck.
