Vanillacraft is a semi vanilla SMP that feels really simple and chill. It is made for people who are tired of huge servers with tons of plugins that change everything.

Here you do normal survival with other players and the world is not full of pay to win stuff. There is no economy plugin and no GUI shop. Instead players make their own shops and run the whole item economy by themselves.

There is no land protection plugin so you can build where you want. Griefing is watched by an active staff team and they use Coreprotect so your builds are not just left alone with no help.

The server just started a new season after a world reset so everyone can start fresh together. There is a community spawn with farms and useful stuff and there is a market area where players set up shops for anything you need.

You cannot just teleport around. People travel with the nether roof or with elytras so the world feels more like real survival. There are no pay to win ranks and there is not even a server store so progress is just from playing.

The playerbase is described as very friendly and welcoming. It is active but not so huge that you never see the same person twice. You will log in and recognize people and it feels like a real community.
