Wiki: Vanilla+ SMP

Wiki v1.0.1 – Updated 05/10/2025

A raw, unforgiving return to Minecraft’s roots!

Server Rules | Semi-Vanilla
Welcome to Vanilla+ SMP, a raw, unforgiving return to Minecraft’s roots — where the only rules are the ones you make. Inspired by the golden age of classic SMP with a splash of chaos, this is survival the way it was meant to be: unfiltered, unprotected, and absolutely relentless.
 
No hand-holding. No endless plugins. No admin baby-sitting. Just you, the world, and whoever you trust enough not to stab you in the back.
 
🧱 Core Features:
 
  • 🪓 True Vanilla feel with only light QoL plugins (like /home, anti-dupe, and performance fixes)
 
  • ⚔️ Griefing, raiding, and PvP allowed — build a base or burn someone else’s to the ground
 
  • 🤝 Minimal staff interference — the community governs itself
 
  • 🏹 OG survival mechanics: no OP economy, no player kits, no pay-to-win
 
  • 🌍 A living world shaped entirely by player actions and alliances
 
  • 🧭 Explore, build, raid, or vanish into the wild — it’s your story to write
 
 
This isn’t a theme park. It’s a sandbox. VANILLA+ SMP — where survival is real, trust is rare, and power is taken, not given

SERVER RULES

 

1. Some might label us a “semi-anarchy” server but that’s not quite true, we do have some rules. However we not only allow PVP, raiding and griefing… we outright encourage it.

 
2. Just play fair. No hacked clients, x-ray, exploiting, duping, etc.
 

3. Play well with others. No lag machines, crashing the economy, DDoS threats/attempts, doxing or anything that would harm the overall play of others on the server or bring harm to any player IRL. This is a game for Christs sake LOL.

 

4. We have minimal staff. We’re not here to babysit you all. Want to ban together with others and become the sheriff? Go for it. Want to ban together and be bandits? Go for it. Want to place bounty on players heads? Go for it. Want to raise an army to cause complete chaos and bring about the end of the world? Go for it. Only bring staff into situations that fully merit them being brought in. Real life threats, unfair gameplay, exploiting, duping, doxing etc etc.

 

 
5. We’re here when you need us. Join our Discord (Click Here). You can open a support ticket on there. You can also generally banter with other community members and staff alike on there as well.

SEMI-VANILLA

While we want this to feel like an old school survival multiplayer and have kept 99% of the vanilla features in tact, we have limited some things and added certain plugins/features for QoL improvements etc. As dictated below, and these can change over time based on your feedback!
 
  • Vanilla villager trading has been disabled. Probably the most important thing nerf’d in the vanilla gameplay. We did this to add to the more difficult nature of the server. However there are villagers located at /spawn that you CAN trade with. Some balancing will be needed here so who knows, maybe it’s easier this way to obtain what you need! We’ll see which way we want to take this.
  • We have essential plugins for Quality of Life, so you can /sethome, /rtp, and various other commands available to supporters of the server i.e. /wb, /anvil, /ec etc.
  • We have to make money to pay for the operation of the network but… we’re trying our best to not be Pay-To-Win. So yes, some things are locked away to players who purchase certain ranks or perks but in no means are they overpowered and make you feel like what they have is completely unfair. There’s no kits with enchanted netherite armor and weapons etc etc.
  • We do have some chat related plugins to facilitate adverts (mainly information/tips/tricks), chat colors and chat formatting (for purchased ranks/perks), etc.
