r/MCVanillaServers

hi! Im in a server and our season just started once again. Its a small community, and it doesnt have any plugins so its just pure minecraft survival. Its also whitelist for good screening, but if u do get griefed we can roll it back. the people are easy to come around and respectful. If ur busy its all good, we play casually and on our own time. We also have discord :]

feel free to comment/dm if u wanna join !

🏡 Cozy MC

A Minecraft survival world where community comes first.

No payments or perks.

No land claims.

Nothing for sale.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most servers try to control players with plugins.

We don’t.

We expect players to respect each other..

and we actually enforce it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT THIS IS:

A vanilla survival server on hard difficulty

built around one idea:

a shared world that feels like singleplayer...

just with other people in it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHY IT DOESN’T FALL APART:

* Stealing or griefing → permanent ban

* Hate speech → instant permanent ban

* PvP → agreement only

* Everyone reads the rules before playing

No claims.

No locked chests.

No artificial systems holding things together.

Just expectations… and consistency.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT PLAYING HERE LOOKS LIKE:

* ~40 players online in one long-term world

* No resets planned

* Bases exist because players choose not to touch them

* Players help each other build, explore, and recover gear

Everything is logged.

If something gets broken, it gets fixed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GAMEPLAY:

* Hard difficulty

* No keep inventory

* Death coordinates are sent to you

* No world border

* TNT duping allowed

* Vanilla gameplay

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

JOINING:

You won’t be able to interact right away.

  1. Join

  2. Read the rules

  3. Complete a quick step

After that, you’re fully in.

That step is the reason this works.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW TO JOIN:

Java: CozyMC.com

Bedrock:

* Add friend: PlayCozyMC

* OR: mc.cozymc.com port 19132

Discord:

https://discord.gg/CozyMC

Read the rules to learn how to interact and break blocks.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHO THIS IS FOR:

* Players tired of chaotic or payment/donation servers

* People who want a calm, social survival world

* Builders, explorers, and long-term players

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most servers feel busy.

This one feels calm.

If that sounds unusual to you… that’s kind of the point.

Welcome to CatCraft!

CatCraft is a smaller, LGBT+ friendly, adult only (21+) community focused Minecraft server.

We started Season 1 on April 4, 2019. We recently started season 3 on September 6, 2025, doing things slightly differently than we have in the past. Our current world runs a collection of world generation mods to add additional biomes, and enhanced terrain generation. Nothing we use requires mods or resource packs on the client side, and everything is made from vanilla blocks. Currently, we're running 1.21.11, with a world border set at 10k in every direction. The world border will be expanding, as the world updates, and remains stable. This is intended to be a multi-year, long term world. Our server is hosted in Oregon, on the western coast of the USA.

While we're a small-ish community (usually between 30 and 80 total active members), the admin staff is passionate about keeping the server going and providing as many quality of life options as possible. On top of having a Survival server, we also have a Creative server with world edit, as well as a host of other side servers, to be used as needed for various games and testing purposes. Bluemap runs on both Creative and Survival, as well as a discord Chat Bot.

Server Rules

  1. Don't be a dick. I really think this kind of sums up all the rules, but I'll spell it out.
  2. Don't steal shit, dupe, or grief. See rule 1.
  3. We're a strict 21+ server. We are not child friendly. Swearing is fine, within reason. If that makes you uncomfortable, we are not the place for you.
  4. PVP is turned on. This is not an excuse to be an asshole and snipe people. Play fair, help the loser pick up their stuff, and return all the things. See rule 1.
  5. No hacking. No x-ray. No duping. No forcefield. Whatever might give you an unfair advantage.
  6. Pranking is fine, within reason. Don't destroy someone's shit, or cover it with TNT and call it a prank.
  7. In your application, please include your favorite breed of cat.
  8. Patch up creeper holes, fully chop down trees, and don't leave dirt towers around. We all have to live here, let's try to keep it pretty looking.
  9. Sign your stuff, keep the server easy to navigate.
  10. Don't kill withers in the over-world. Just don't. It never goes well. Under the end portal please.
  11. It's Fine.

Other Important Details

  • No Enderman Griefing
  • End Dragon drops an elytra, egg, and head
  • AFK Detection
  • Custom Trapdoor, bark block, stair, and carpet recipes.
  • Back to Blocks
  • Renewable Coral

Season 5 just started NOW and is gonna be different!

Here's some updates!

Committees and Player Autonomy

This time, we are going to hand back the decision-making to the players, at least in regards to things like spawn, shopping districts, and infrastructure. Our goal is to let players decide what's important to them, and to give them the power to work with others (or alone!) to shape their experience this season. Passionate about how spawn looks when new players spawn in? Consider starting a group or committee to plan and design it! Love lines and curves and traveling by foot? Path committee! Like shopping district operating a certain way? found a shopping district mercenary group! Want a nether hub fast? Want it on the roof? Prefer it UNDER the roof? Start a thread about it! Disagree with the way another committee is doing things? Do something about it! You get the idea.

World Gen and World Border

World Border We won't be having a set world border this season. Chunks will be generated out to 1500 to begin with to help with early season lag, but otherwise, you are free to explore to your hearts content. The seed will be made public. World Gen We will be tweaking the world gen to add some new features to the vanilla landscape. Check back for more information throughout the week for specifics!

Mods, Datapacks

Blaze and Caves Advancements will be enabled from the start, with a tweak to only make the highest level of achievements display in chat (No chat spam!) Origins Datapack will be added for players who would wish to partake in this completely optional experience! (Do not get attached to the default datapack values, they are actively being modified, and it will be disclosed to you what the origins actually are before you choose them.)

Here is some basic info for our server:

  • Server located in the Eastern US (Virginia)
  • Hard Difficulty
  • Single-Player Sleep
  • Live Map
  • Optional Simple Voice Chat mod (no mods required to join server)
  • Origins datapack (optional)

We also run a modded server if you are interested in playing:

  • All the Mods 10 - 5.4

Hello There! I am one of the Administrators of the KrustyKraft SMP and with this I'd like to introduce you to our Community!

We are a Minecraft Bedrock Community that is going strong for over 9 years by now. Our community is active, friendly and inclusive. The staff team is highly engaged and committed towards the community to make sure everyone gets to have a voice on the KrustyKraft. On our Discord Server we achieve this with quick support responses, a suggestion channel to share new ideas and yearly Member surveys - along with other things.

We hold bi-weekly events like "Story Time, Photo- and Build contests and Treasure Hunts. Along those we also host big events like Community Projects, like our Netherhub that allows a quick travel through the world or "Player of the year".

KrustyKraft is set on a Bedrocks Dedicated Server. A realm is now only used as a lobby to join the Server. Along with monthly chunk prunes, an active shopping district and many dedicated builders and redstoners, our current Season 9 world has been up since July 2023.

After joining the Discord, a new recruit needs to go trough our straight forward application process. This is the staff teams chance to get to know our members while the recruit also gets to know our staff team. The process is of course not designed like a work assignment. All criteria are listed and if there are any questions, the staff team and I are more than happy to help you out! For additional info about the recruitment process, you can watch this video by our Founder!

Perhaps I struck your interest and hope you apply to be a part of the KrustyKrew today! If you'd like the Discord link, please send me a DM or comment on this post!

Dm me in discord if interested :))

Hai! So we have an event but we can't start it because it's missing some teams. We were hoping for YOU to be one of the players as we'll be posting this in our channel. Additionally you'll meet new people here whom are very welcoming or can be your new enemies. The main purpose of this post is to just get players for the event but if you're interested in a server then this one calls out your name. It's a semi-vanilla server with just the basic stuff like team and tpa, the tree chop thingy, multi player sleep. Anyways I can tell you moreeee about it once you add me. I also want to mention that there are really only a few rules in the server which is no hacking and no griefing, but you are allowed to kill, and steal. Now as mentioned it is your choice if you wish to make enemies or teammates. A server where you can experience the "Minecraft experience". To pvp, build, explore or chill. To meet new people, and to enjoy. Once again we want YOU as we'll wait for you to appear in spawn :))
