Why join Vanillacraft?

I started Vanillacraft because I was fed up with the lack of regular, semi-vanilla servers without hundreds of plugins ruining the experience. So many servers have GUI shops, economy plugins, land protection and pay-to-win mechanics which make progress impossible without paying. There is also a gap in the market for a community-focused SMP - most servers are so large that it's impossible to get to know the players.

The Vanillacraft SMP has no economy plugins, no GUI shops and not even land protection - people can build wherever they like, and griefing is prevented by the active staff team and Coreprotect plugin. The playerbase is extremely friendly and welcoming to new players, so we're sure you'll fit right in! There are a number of player-run shops for you to get what you need if you want a headstart.

Vanilla Survival

This is it. There's no fancy minigames, no OP prison, no shop where you can buy everything you need, it's just a good old nostalgic Minecraft SMP.

Here are some of the features of the SMP:

  • Fully player-run economy
  • Community spawn with farms and other services
  • No teleportation - travel through the nether roof or use an elytra
  • Friendly and welcoming community
  • Coreprotect plugin so griefing isn't a concern
  • Backups every 10 minutes (that's right) so lose very little progress if something goes wrong

Hardware and lag

Most SMP servers are really laggy. That's because they all run low-quality hardware or use buggy server hosting. The Vanillacraft SMP is hosted on extremely powerful hardware. We have:

  • An AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU
  • 32 GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000 MHz
  • A fast, 500 MB/s SATA drive (with plans to upgrade to an M.2 drive)
  • A stable 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection
  • A 4TB backup HDD for if something goes wrong
