TownThrive

TownThrive is a geopolitical SMP which focuses on prospering sprawling towns, trading, and also war. The server has an extremely active community and there is pretty much no end to all of it. The server has a very unique approach to gameplay with the Nether and End dimensions removed. You may be shocked from this, but it makes the server more immersive as you have to take a plane or a boat to locations on the map. The server has a vanilla approach and hands-off administration with no commands like /tp or /home as well as rules to prevent bad experiences.
