The Pulchrian Isles

Cross-Play, Economy, PvE, Roleplay, Survival, Towny

The Pulchrian Isles is a brand new PvE server on a massive custom map (a highly modified worldpainter map specifically) that has a large realistic terrain and natural generated structures!

Pragmatism is the guiding principle, with no complex flashy plugins, bright prefixes or any of the nonsense I found bugging me on other servers. We are minimal as possible with no ridiculous rules. We also maintain a high resolution 3D dynmap, where you can see a glimpse into the terrain (https://map.pulchria.online).

Our server’s economy is 100% player based and is based on gold, with a gold exchange to use as well. If you have a look at [some screenshots of our map’s terrain](https://imgur.com/a/jewtTkF), I am sure you will be convinced. I do hope to see you on the server and you enjoy it!!!!

JackpotMC

JackpotMC is a server focused on PvP game modes, with our latest game mode being Lifesteal SMP. This is a one of kind, unique SMP that allows players to steal hearts from each other. Once a player kills another, they take a heart from them. If you die to a player, you lose a heart to them. Once you’re out of hearts, you’re banned for the rest of the day. With no claims and no rules on griefing, it is a pure Anarchy experience.
