The Diamond Rush

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date October 16, 2024

Hello you lovely crafters! My server called 'The Diamond Rush' is only 2-3 week old, there are around 5-10 active players at a time – we'd love to be a few more!
We try to be as close to vanilla as possible (no custom resource packs etc or OP systems), whilst still providing alternative things to do when ordinary survival gets a bit boring. The main system that's appreciated by the players is the unique diamond economy system used to trade with other players & unlock new perks/commands.

Features:

– Strictly non-toxic, friendly community
– Ranks to unlock new perks (eg more homes, new commands)
– Land claiming
– Skills (purely cosmetic, no perks/abilities)
– Simple commands (homes, tpa)
– Players can make chest shops and player warps
– Top of the line hardware meaning no lag on the server with 24/7 uptime

Please, don't hesitate to apply, we're a bunch of friendly players who focus heavily on providing a non-toxic experience for everyone! Please comment your Discord name here and I'll send over a Discord invitation link.

I hope to see some of you soon!

Blue Sky

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date October 15, 2024

The goal was simple: to create a server for ourselves to enjoy. But over time, this vision has grown into something bigger—to create a community for like-minded players who just want to log in and dive straight into the game. No hassle, no pay-to-win schemes—just a space where you can jump into survival or creative mode and start playing right away.

PLAY: blueskycraft.org

Welcome to Blue-Sky, where adventure, creativity, and community come first! We’ve built a Minecraft server that lets your imagination soar—no in-game purchases, no barriers—just pure, classic gameplay with a few enhancements.

Our survival world sticks closely to the vanilla experience but with multiplayer-enhancing additions like /tpa and one /sethome to keep things fun. In this wild, unprotected world, anything goes, so run far and build your secret hideaway! If you're looking for a break from survival's challenges, head to our creative map—a safe haven for builders to unleash their creativity on personal plots.

We're a group of friends who have shaped this server around the way we love to play, and if you share that same passion for adventure and boundless creativity, Blue-Sky is waiting for you!

Survival & Creative Modes: Enjoy a near-vanilla survival experience alongside a dedicated plot-based creative world.
Essential Plugins Only: We've added just the right plugins to enhance gameplay without overcomplicating the experience.
No Pay-to-Win, Ever: Everyone plays on equal footing—no ranks, no paid advantages, just pure, fair gameplay.
Endlessly Expanding Maps: Our worlds are built for limitless growth, giving you endless room to explore and create.
Simple Rule, Maximum Fun: Follow one rule—use common sense—and enjoy a hassle-free, relaxed community.
Crossplay Ready: Java and Bedrock compatible.

Nobiamia SMP 1.20.1

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date October 14, 2024

Don't mind the SMP's name…

I'm looking for players to join my SMP since there are only 10 people, a max of 25 to avoid too much people from possibly griefing, but all 10 join at different times so I need more players, doesn't matter who.

It has a Bliss SMP's datapack which gives gems with powers and some plugins that manage the server, there are no mods and is basically Vanilla MC other than the datapack.

The bliss datapack is only to keep the server interesting and not boring, not to act as another Bliss SMP server

This is quite a bland and uninteresting information about the server but I just really want to find random players to join

SOME VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:

Pressing tab allows you to see your energy/lives, there are 5 total which shows as 0, if it is a negative value, it means you have more, for example, you have -1 then that means you have 6 lives, killing players allow you to gain energy/life. Dying makes you lose life, for more information such as crafting recipes click this. I am not the creator of this datapack so credits to the guy
When your energy reaches 5, you will be set to spectator, you can be revived with a revival tome
Keep Inventory is off

Version: 1.20.1
IP: nobiamiasmp.mcserv.fun

And yes, the server is 24/7

Rules:

No hacking ofc
Don't grief too much
Don't die too much
