EchelonMC is a custom survival server that tries to stay simple and feel like normal Minecraft. You do not need any mods or special client stuff. Everything works on a regular install so it feels really familiar and easy to get into.

The server focuses on survival and keeps the core gameplay the same. Nothing feels super overpowered or crazy. Even Endermen cannot pick up blocks so your builds stay safe. Most systems are made to feel natural while you play instead of shoving menus in your face.

At spawn there are interactive NPCs that explain features and give you basic info. There is also a wilderness NPC that can teleport you to a random area if you just want to start fresh. The spawn hub is clean and gives you what you need when you first join.

EchelonMC has some cool quality of life stuff too. There is a command controller so you only see commands you can actually use. There is auto pathing where the ground wears down slowly as players travel so the world shows where people move. The server can update many things live without having to restart all the time.

The community is meant to help shape the server. There is a suggestion system in game where you use a command and it opens a book and you can write your ideas. The team reviews suggestions often and really wants player feedback to decide what gets added or changed.
