We are an 18+ server that allows both Java and Bedrock players! The server is on 1.20.4 and we are very quick to update to newer version-releases! We keep things as vanilla as possible around here, with some small plugins that add some nice features! 🎮
Our community is into big and ambitious projects and love to interact in both in-game chat, discord & voice call. The server never resets, so don't worry about any of your progress getting deleted. We don't do land-claims around here! But don't worry, we got protection plugins to rollback possible theft or griefings! 🔨
We're all about inclusivity – whether you're into redstone, an explorer at heart, or love getting creative with builds, you're welcome here. Same goes with personal beliefs. We are here to play minecraft, No-politic zone! 🌍
At spawn you will find the heart of our server, the Shopping District. We have a diamond-based economy, inspired by the popular Hermitcraft server! At spawn you will also find 3 additional portals:
Resource world portal: Takes you to a resource world where you can gather the resources that you need! There is no border in the resource world, but it will get reseted every x-amount of months
Creative world portal: Takes you to a creative world with plots. There you can design ur builds while still being in contact with the rest of the server!
Event world portal: Takes you to a world where we host events! 🎉
All worlds chats are synced, so you can still talk with each other across worlds! 🌐
I will guarantee you that you will find some cool stuff around the world while roaming around! Alot of old and new lore to learn about:) 🏰
For Java players, we've got a modpack you can jump into. It includes voice chat and a few other handy extras. But dw, It's all optional! 🛠️
Our rules are simple: no discrimination, no messing with other people's stuff, and definitely no cheating. 🚫
Oh, and one last thing – NEVER TRUST HMITTEN! ❌

Look, I know. I'm working on the custom IP.
EchoCraft was started by myself and two of my friends, we aim to have a relaxed community with some mild tweaks to Vanilla Minecraft. Although we currently don't have cross-platform compatibility it's on the list!
The server is on Hard difficulty, with overall goals of being relaxed, take it at your own pace, make farms, make epic builds or well, anything you want. We've fostered a nice little community so far and hope to see you join us sometime!
When it comes to items buying, selling we have opted for an in-game trust system, akin to Hermitcraft – so no economy plugins! No chestshops either! This is of course, open to change but for now we've all been content to trade, buy with diamonds or IOU's.
The sever is based in North America and our world map is here!
We have zero intentions of ever adding lootcrates/voting systems
We have swapped to a whitelist! Applications found in the Discord
What Do We Have Installed?

There might be more that I've forgotten to type up, but a lot of VanillaTweaks Datapacks!

Rusted Kingdom is a RPG Minecraft Server likely unlike you have seen before. It has NPCs / Quests / Spells / Guns and businesses that players can take over and fight over. It also has instances, dungeons and a casino. It also has more traditional elements of group pvp servers, kingdoms.
The base story revolves around a group of people called the Dusters. The Dusters are a loose group of civilians living in an overgrown apocalyptic city called Rust City. The Dusters themselves are just trying to survive and stay out of a major war that is happening between the Rustborn Brotherhood and the Crimson Covenant. ( More about Factions here )
Right clicking an NPC will bring up a conversation. There are currently 4 questlines to run through, the main Duster questline, the Crimson Covenant, the Rustborn Brotherhood and the expansion quests that come after all of these are completed, Vector. https://www.rustedkingdom.com for more information.
