Hey all, I have been playing Minecraft since the early beta days. I hosted a server like this for a couple of years back in beta and it was the most fun I’ve had in this game. I am hoping to recapture some of those memories and hopefully make some new friends.

I am starting a new server for like-minded Minecraft players. This will be a vanilla survival world, set on hard difficulty in Java 1.20.4. There is a world border set at only 4000 blocks. This world border can be increased in size one day, but for now, it is used to encourage player interaction/cooperation. You are also more likely to come across other player’s builds while exploring this way.

My main goal is to assemble a tight-knit community of semi-dedicated Minecraft players to work on projects and share some good times, together. The server is brand new but in the future, I plan on having a Spawn Town, Shops, Games, Roads, Community Farms and Community Build Projects.

This server is hosted professionally in New York, It has frequent backups, good uptime and it runs very smoothly.

Rules

– 18+ Sorry, this is not because I hate children. I was once just like you, but I hate diddlers and I don’t want any of that happening here

– The server is for adults but please refrain from excessive swearing or edginess

– No PvP or Griefing/Stealing

– No cheats

– No building within 200 blocks of spawn or someone else unless granted permission. Not sure if you can build somewhere? Just ask. If Nether portals interfering with each other becomes an issue you may need to relocate your nether portal.

– All new players must fill out an application. No nepotism

– No begging or spamming

– No political or religious talk

– No harassment or hatred of any kind (Zero Tolerance)

– This is a new server and the rules are subject to change

**Please Copy&Paste the following form to me on discord @ “kingglen13” after filling it out, then attach screenshots of 3 different Minecraft builds created by you (These could be big/small, recent/old, creative/survival doesn’t matter). Only the best applicants will be accepted

Application (*=Required)

*My Java Playername is:

*I am over the age of 18 (yes/no):

*The Country I live in is:

*I would like to join because:

*What I bring to the table is:

What do we have to offer?

– A trust-based diamond economy system similar to HermitCraft – An easy way to get back to spawn using the /spawn command – Simple voice chat mod just like they use in HermitCraft! – Purely vanilla, excluding essential datapacks such as; anti-enderman griefing, multiplayer sleep, solidifying concrete dust in a cauldron, double shulker shells, player and mob head drops, mini head wandering traders, and an AFK display (visible by pressing Tab). – 15-year-old age requirement for maturity reasons (some exceptions may be applied) – Kind, mature, and interactive community both in-game and in voice chats – Collaborative build projects, fun events, and game nights

Hello all! We are currently looking for mildly to extremely active players to join the Minecraft server known as the Something SMP! We have lore/roleplay on a modded server (mods of which include origins, image to map, enderite, claims, voice chat, and discord integrations, just to name a few).

However, it is NOT a requirement to be apart of the lore if you just want to play on the server!! Just a heads up though, there are a few people on the server who do stream, so if you’re uncomfortable with appearing on livestream that’s something to note.

If any of you are interested, you can join the discord server here. You can go into #applications to submit an application, and you can read more via the pinned message in #Something SMP info (It is required to join the discord server, as it has the custom modpack, server announcements and the rules of the server, this process also reduces the number of griefers and trolls).

If you have any questions about the server, or anything related to that, feel free to ask me or any other staff member. We are happy to answer any queries you may have! You can do so on the discord server or here in the comments.

Some other things to note include:

This is a java server, with no plans for bedrock to be included at this stage.
We have our end & nether reset every few months, so new players don’t have to spend as long hunting for nether & end items.
The server owner is on GMT+8, so feedback regarding your application may be slow depending on your timezone.
Most staff members are also on GMT+8, so applications may be slow depending on when it’s submitted.

If you’re looking for some early Minecraft nostalgia, not finding joy in OP prisons anymore, or just want to try something new, then you can look no further. TrappedMC offers a unique classic prison experience with the same touch of nostalgia like you’re watching one of your favorite YouTubers in 2014.

This feature-rich classic prison server is gonna be your final stop when looking for interactive staff, constant updates, hourly server events, and a helpful community. This server caters to most gameplay types such as: those mining grinders who love to break blocks and make money, the bloodlusted PvP’ers who find joy in the fight, and the talkers who love to interact in chat and have a laugh with some friends.

__

Some of these unique and creative features are:

-Anti Pay-To-Win system: Donating to the server does not put anyone above others. Someone who does not donate easily keeps up with players who are able to.

-Contraband selling/trading: Jump into a contraband system, where you grow contraband to get illegal money, create gangs, and getting items to boost up your experience.

-Crypto mining: Getting GPU’s from mining to passively gain income and investing in this virtual crypto system.

-Fun and interactive events: Server hosted events like spleef, walls, block party, etc to earn prizes and more importantly, have fun.

-Community Feedback: Constant updates based off suggestions and feedback to provide the community with the best prison experience.

Simply Vanilla is an SMP that tries to break the overdone style of SMP, join us in the 1.20 update!

It seems now that every SMP is using over the top plugins, data packs and rules that completely break the classic vanilla progression. For that reason I decided to create the Simply-Vanilla SMP, we use minimal plugins and data packs the main ones being proimity voice chat (optional) and various mods to help performance while keeping the gameplay 100% vanilla, similar to that of early hermitcraft/classic Minecraft multiplayer.

We are looking to continue growing our community with mature players. We are an LGBTQIA+ friendly community and are accepting of anyone and everyone. We have some very talented builders and techincal players already but are open to anyone who wants to join the community!

The server is focused on a community-driven experience, with a busy shopping district, large spawn and games districts with a new community village and end hub project well on the way! 100% uptime over the last few month and great performance also helps!

One life to live your best life. DoN’T DiE! Ultra-Hardcore mining for 240 weeks in a row. Yippee Ki Yay, Miner Crafters. If you die… you can earn a revive back to the Overworld by beating the weekly Sunday competition. Sundays at 12CT there is also a special Team Competition, going now for 208 weeks in a row. Current prize selections could include a revive on the persistent ultra-hardcore world, or an in-game advancement shout-out. Details in the discord channel. Minecraft multi-player server: gapple.mchost.pro Direct IP if you prefer 108.181.149.16:26998 Goal: Stay alive and earn the most points doing it. Score: +1 per minute you stay alive, +1 per experience point you earn. Examples: killing a skeleton earns 3 points, and killing the dragon earns 12,000 points. You will start in the Spawn Ship until you are ready to enter the world. Hold a bone block to see the server’s current top scoring players. Server Rules: Do we even need to mention play fair and friendly? That should be a given on every server. Do not use client-side mods that give unfair advantages. No hacking, xray resource packs, or hacked clients on our servers. Apocalypse DataPack: Players killed by a zombie will become a zombie. 10% of skeletons get an enhancement. Bats bite, and can morph into an illusionist. Spiders can spin webs. Ox-Heads defend the pastures. The Litch kills everything he touches, so repel him and stay away. Herobrine is a veteran miner, and not to be trifled with. Medusa guards the Nether. One look at her and you turn to stone. Your Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/EP5Y9C7

A great summary typed up by Tfin: This is UHC, but not the UHC you know! Read on to find out what’s up here! I’ll start with quotes from the MineCraft Wiki: Ultra Hardcore… the main difference being players cannot naturally regenerate health. Like regular Hardcore, players cannot respawn if they die. These are the important points. This is where we’re coming from. This isn’t one of those 30 minute speed UHCs, or even the collapsing border UHCs of later versions. GatKong created this MineCraft datapack in the spirit of that original UHC season, but made it more difficult with a few additions. On this server, this is how you’ll be playing: There are no teams. Free-For-All is the order of business here. PvP is enabled, but you’ll need to find other players if that’s how you want to win. There’s a whole world out there. No borders, shrinking or otherwise. Go see it! … There are a lot of customizations, So check out the tips and rules. Oh, and have fun!
