Vanillabean 1.20.2 || 2yr Anniversary!

Community, smp, Survival, Vanilla, Vanillasmp

If you have been looking for a classic semi vanilla SMP with a focus on a tightly-knit small community, then you have come to the right place. After years of trying to find a server that is a simple semi vanilla SMP, without garbage like Kits, Sethome, Tp, or even keep inventory (just why), we got tired of waiting and created our own. Simply put, Vanillabean is a place of community that has evolved from humble beginnings of all of us getting bodied by hard mode skeletons into a thriving trade-based society with rules and laws made by our players. Come join an ever-growing community of players and leave your mark on the server’s history. Our worlds have no plans to EVER be reset, unless the sun explodes or something. Also, we have jobs, so don’t worry about us running out of Grandma’s Christmas money; we can actually afford to pay for the server.
