Essence SMP is a growing competitive SMP that aims for a mostly vanilla feel without the usual pay to win stuff like tpa and big economy systems.
This server is for players who like PvP and competition. Griefing stealing and killing are all allowed so it can get intense fast.
Joining is based on applications and there are limited slots so not everyone gets in. It also uses a few quality of life plugins like a string command a way to pick up villagers and instant restock. There is also a limit of only one mace so launch day is going to be a big race.
The server is not released yet and it is getting ready for a wave of applications while the community grows.
