This server is called UneasyVanilla and it is a semi anarchy style vanilla survival server. It runs a really old world that has been going for over 4 years so the map feels used and lived in. It tries to stay close to the original Minecraft vision so it does not feel super modded or fake.

When you first join you spawn in a crazy mess of lavacasts and grief. Spawn is totally wrecked on purpose so it feels like you dropped into the middle of chaos. You have to escape that maze and then you can wander off and start building bases or just explore however you want.

The server mixes anarchy and survival so there is a sense of lawlessness. You have a lot of freedom and players can do most things. But there are still some rules because the owners want the server to run well and be fair. The staff cares a lot about performance and they ban cheaters fast so people who play legit are not ruined by hackers.

The community feels pretty relaxed and kind of tight knit. It is a place where people do big building projects or form alliances or just test their survival skills. There are surprise encounters all over the world so you never really know who you will run into. If you like long term vanilla survival with a bit of chaos and some protection from cheaters this server fits that really well.
