About the server: We use PaperMC 1.20.4 to add a few Datapacks and Plugins to make the experience exciting and fresh while still staying on Vanilla-ish Minecraft. A full list of the Datapacks (mostly Vanilla-Tweaks) and plugins are available on our Discord. We use a dedicated machine which makes our server very smooth and stable with basically no downtime. TravelCraft has been running for 4 years now!

About the community: We are a small community of about 50 players from around the world, who are searching for some more people to join for Season 7 of TravelCraft. We started in March 2020 with Season 1, and have had successful seasons ever since. We have a tight knit community of members who can balance fun and serious moments. This server is not family friendly, swearing is allowed.

We hope you can add your sprinkle to our community to make it even better!

Blithe SMP

Blithe, Semi Vanilla, smp

Blithe SMP is an active and engaging whitelisted community running on Minecraft 1.20.4 and we are recruiting for new members to join us! Why Blithe? We have a very active and engaging community of over 250 whitelisted members, regularly seeing 10-15 players active at one time. We are a community that prides itself on engagement and fun, hosting weekly regular server games and events for prizes. We are a server inspired by the popular Hermitcraft SMP, taking some of the fan favorite features from this and implementing them in new and exciting ways! We run on a super powerful server with 256GB ram, meaning that the server is always up 24/7 with minimal to no lag. We use a mod pack that is totally optional to improve your player experience, including things such as proximity chat and a minimap/hudmod. These are totally optional though, and do not affect core gameplay, which we try to keep as close to vanilla as possible, only adding some plugins and datapacks such as multiplayer sleep and customizable armor stands to improve the multiplayer experience! We also have a Creative server for everyone to freely use to plan and test builds and designs, and a Last Life server which runs sessions every weekend if you want to scratch that more competitive itch. How do I apply to join Blithe SMP? Great! We are glad you are interested in joining us!

As an RPG-based server, we’ve got a unique game-play experience that’s tailored to players who enjoy building, crafting, and exploring. Our community is made up of players from all over the world, and we’ve got a large number of regular players who enjoy playing together.

Our main goal is to provide a fun environment with an old-school feel, where both long-term fans and new players can all get together and have a good time. We pride ourselves on our tight-knit community, and can’t wait to see how we continue to expand.

We believe in building a place where everyone can enjoy the game together. We’ve got a no-map-reset policy, which means you can build and explore without worrying about losing your progress, but we continue to expand the world border with each major update.

We also have a claims system in place to protect your creations, in addition to regular world and inventory backups just in case of issues.

Speaking of some of the plug-ins we use, here’s a few more you’ll find on HomesteadCraft that helps make us special:

Aurelium Skills – Introduces skills and stats into Minecraft. Such skills include Agility, Excavation, Enchanting, and even Sorcery. Some of the stats include Strength, Regeneration, and Luck.

Acuteloot – This one adds in literally BILLIONS of new and unique items you can find. There’s things such as specially named items, items with particle effects, and a few unique ones that add some fun mechanics to the game. You can find Acuteloot items in naturally spawned chests, or you might get lucky while enchanting.

In addition to the usual server accouterments, we also have an active Discord community where players can chat and hang out. Our in-game chat is also linked to the main Discord channel, so even when you aren’t at your computer, you can stay connected! Here, you can chat, share builds, post shop ads, and stay up-to-date on all the goodies and news.
