Best Openworld Minecraft Servers

We're an in-development/beta server dedicated to 3 main points:

• Provide a variety of feature-rich modes
• Strict prevention of all forms of cheating, no matter the caliber
• A community that is friendly no matter the skill level. a.k.a no toxic behavior.

We try to provide a variety of content, however given how small the development team is (at the moment, only 3 builders and 1 plugin developer), updates and changes will take a long time. Basically every mode is being re-imagined (Our first of these will be Tower Defense coming out this month!). Given this nature, features, playerdata, and basically everything else isn't perfectly stable, and may change in a flash. Now is the perfect time to come playtest and not only help grow our community, but to help find issues and propose new ideas.

BudderCraft is extremely strict on preventing cheating of any kind. Due to this, no mods (except those listed towards the end) are allowed, and this will never change (except potentially for Fabric, Forge and Lunar in the far future when we can limit their functionality). No bedrock modding will ever be allowed mostly due to console users having no legal way of obtaining them. Any intentional ways to get around this will result in a permanent, unpardonable ban. However mods aren't the only way to cheat. Any other forms, weather with ways of automation (hacks, mods, resource packs, we don't allow them atm, but a whitelist feature will be added someday) or not (game exploits, alt accounts, "win-trading" – where people in competitive modes play for a specific result rather than trying to win individually, and many more), all cheating rule breaks will almost certainly result in an unpardonable ban. Any form of piracy will also be given the same treatment. Since Minecraft isn't considered abandonware (meaning its no longer sold anymore), you cannot pirate/steal it, and there is no excuse that can be made to justify it.

A central point to a fun online game is to only allow fun and friendly people to play it. Anyone being rude for no reason, whether in a competitive environment or not, will not be tolerated whatsoever, especially if it involves personal attacks against specific traits of the person (race, sexuality, gender, etc.). While there is a way to breach this unpunished, not only does everyone who can see the content have to have explicitly said they're ok with it, but mods and admins can disallow it for any reason (mostly to prevent people from harassing others behind their back). Further info about this exception can be found under Non-ruling terms in /warp Rules

Other small points:

• 1.9+ style PvP. 1.8 pvp is over a decade old at this point, if you haven't gotten used to it yet, skill issue. Some changes to the combat system do exist, such as making ender crystals harmless and when 1.21 comes out, nerfing the stupidly-overpowered mace with as much as a 91% damage reduction with a damage cap.
• there is a very quick section once you join for the first time. You must complete it to continue, and cannot chat or send commands (except /helpop) until you do so. It only takes 1 minute, if that. It only exists to filter out bots and people who have no ability to read (since it features things I had to have answered all the time).
• large scale farms are strictly prohibited. We believe all these massive farms that generate double-chests worth of items per minute ruins the economy and in the case of Factions, kills all strategy, since you would be basically forced to build these or you would stand 0 chance, and who likes a strategy game where only 1 strategy is viable? You can view an outdated list (will be updated come 1.21) of every banned farm under rule 9 in /warp Rules, but the common rule of thumb, if it seems hacky, requires an elaborate setup, or was never intended to be renewable, then its not allowed. Some common banned farms are iron farms, gold farms, raid farms, gunpowder farms, and most xp farms.
• If you are unsure about something on the server, rather than bothering busy staff, use our tutorials (either /warp HowToPlay or /help. Most modes have a "how to play" hologram at their respective spawnpoint). Staff are allowed to ignore help requests that these things answer and even mute players who repeatedly ask.
• Joining our discord is not required but highly recommended. It is very helpful for posting/getting feedback and update/uptime info. You can get our discord link by using /discord on the server (we aren't posting the link here as joining the minecraft server is a requirement to join anyways, so you might as well do that first)
