Aura Vanilla+

Aura Vanilla+ is vanilla survival with meaningful interaction between players and a thoughtful pace of play.

The Nether opens a week after launch, the End after two. The season lasts until everyone gets bored of it. Elytras are removed, distances matter again, and transport and infrastructure in the form of hyperloops regain their role in gameplay. The Eye of Ender has become noticeably more expensive to craft, and the Dragon boss fight is harder. The reward is worth the effort: killing the Dragon drops unique enchantments that can't be obtained anywhere else.

PvP is allowed on the server, but it's a tool of conflict, not a way to profit. Every attack must have a meaningful reason: revenge for a theft, defense of territory, a dispute over a stronghold. Killing for loot or hunting weak players is forbidden. The server encourages self-reliance: if you can restore justice through in-game means, you have the right to do so without waiting for the administration. Conflicts that have a history and logic are considered a natural part of the game.

Voice chat makes encounters lively, but doesn't force communication.

Mechanics and conveniences: trees are chopped down entirely, ore veins are mined out entirely with shift. The "Too Expensive" limit on the anvil is removed. Iron, copper, gold and netherite items can be smelted back into ingots. Minecarts are sped up. Any creature, including villagers, can be leashed. Brewery adds brewing with barrel aging and distillation. Invisible frames and hundreds of new paintings are available for decoration. The stonecutter is expanded with additional recipes. Totems of undying no longer drop from raid mobs, and trial chamber vaults can be reopened every five hours. Added forsa-picks, weapons with a charge mechanic, effective against groups of mobs. A number of new crafts have been introduced, fitting into vanilla logic. Vanilla structures are improved and look more interesting than the standard ones.

The server is designed for measured play and long-term interaction between players.
