Vanillaplay

Server background

At one point I, too, was browsing dozens of servers looking for "the one", but after weeks of searching I realized one simple thing: the perfect server doesn't exist. Somewhere the render distance was terribly low, somewhere the gameplay restrictions were too big, and somewhere it was simply unpleasant to play because of a terrible community. That's when I decided to create a server where I personally would be comfortable playing. That's how Vanilla came to be in 2019, originally hosted on a 300-ruble plan.

I played here alone for a week, after which I decided to add the server to a monitoring site. I wasn't counting on popularity or profit. I just hoped a few people would join to make my free time more enjoyable with some co-op play. 7 years have passed since then. The server has changed a lot for the better: there's now a whole admin team and many new interesting people who play here. That says something, doesn't it?

And so, after 7 years, here are our main advantages:

✅ The server is made to be as convenient, easy on the eyes and, in the end, interesting as possible.

🧠 The server doesn't follow the principle of "Vanilla means no plugins"; instead, it makes the game more convenient and interesting without changing its core

👮 We are very careful when choosing the people who help players resolve issues, so our entire team consists of mature, reasonable people no younger than 25

🌍 We prefer to expand the map rather than do wipes. However, if a wipe can't be avoided due to global world updates - all the builds of those who want are simply transferred to the new world

🕶️ Annoyed by garish colors and an abundance of Unicode symbols in server designs? Me too, so everything here is minimalist.

🖥️ Every line in every config is tuned, so the server runs as stably as possible.

✍️ We write our own plugins, which lets us implement interesting systems without breaking vanilla gameplay, for example - a unique player profile plugin
