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.

Does anyone miss Towny? I do, I miss the good old towny but I have also always felt like towny could be so much more. For too long now I have had this idea I have not yet pursued for a Minecraft server where one player could be King or Queen of the entire server. I have always wondered how this would work. How could we make a server where players create the role-play themselves and allow them to climb the levers of power, who doesn’t love UNLIMiITEeD PoOWErRR? However, we want to make sure it is still Minecraft and for those who don’t want their bases ruined or be in the middle of PvP, we also want to cater to them.
