This is a whitelisted semi vanilla server where people build kingdoms and do a lot of roleplay with politics and borders. The whole idea is that players control how the world works and what kind of kingdoms rise and fall.
The server runs on version 1.21.10 and tries to keep almost everything feeling like normal vanilla Minecraft. They even add back some old tricks like string duplication void trading and update suppression so redstone players can do more stuff.
There are some custom things to make it more intense. If you die in PVP you get a 24 hour ban so fights actually matter and people think before starting wars. There is a custom mod that lets you create a kingdom and use special commands to help with roleplay.
