Server: terrashift.net

Server map: https://map.terrashift.net

Who are we?

Terrashift is a whitelisted vanilla SMP 1.20.2 server with a focus on collaboration and building a community.

If you are interested in starting fresh and would like play/build on a server similar to Hermitcraft with a focus on building a community feel free to apply with the form listed at the end of the post. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Details:

If you feel like building and collaborating on giant redstone contraptions or just want to build a cozy hut somewhere and relax we got you covered.

We are very builder-friendly and while it's still a fresh new world there are great community cities and massive public farms in the works.

Server rules are rather simple. Terrashift is a place where we'd like everyone to feel welcome and have fun, so in general rules follow the same principles:

– no griefing
– no stealing
– no pvp without consent from all parties
– no rudeness towards fellow members
– no "hacking" like x-ray/fly/general mods that give unfair advantages or abilities not possible in vanilla.

We currently have ~30 active members and are looking for people who share the same goals.All server changes/additions/removals are voted on by all members to make sure everyone has a say on the server direction as it develops in Discord.

Currently while we try to keep gameplay as vanilla as possible server is running several datapacks:

– home teleports
– player head drops- more mob heads
– color names
– armor statues
– fast leaf decay
– wandering trades

All of the changes related to datapacks are decided by voting so the list can change over time.

How to apply:

To apply , you can fill out the form at this link: https://apply.terrashift.net . We will reach out to you as soon as possible afterwards.

Welcome to HorizonsReborn!

We are a semi-vanilla Java Minecraft Server which is similar to Hermitcraft in many aspects. We have a small, established, mature and friendly community of Minecraft players. At HorizonsReborn we focus on bringing the players together with community projects and events!

This is an open and accepting community and we want our players to feel safe and free of any harassment, trolling, or toxicity. In order to do this we use a whitelist and application system to ensure that those joining are coming into a safe and friendly environment.

Community and Discord

We have a Discord server to efficiently communicate with the players outside of the game. This is where all the information, announcements and rules are written and many interactions with players take place. If you are whitelisted, this is where you will get notified about events and you can hang out in Voice Chats 🙂

New Players

We are looking for more players to join our community so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, please feel free to join our Discord!

🌐 ｢ Our Server in a Nutshell ｣ 🌐

We are a new server – our community and buildings are all since mid February of 2024. Our current map is 14k by 14k, and will continue expanding to make new vanilla content accessible as it is released and accommodate more players as the server grows. Our vision is to have a server that is as vanilla as possible, while also addressing various QoL issues that come along with a large playerbase on an unwhitelisted server. As such, we have implemented a handful of plugins including renewable elytra (via the ender dragon fight), a simple chest shop system using currency that is interconvertible with diamonds, and night skip with just one player sleeping.

We have an outstanding community of builders! From skyscrapers and cozy villages to high-efficiency iron and raid farms, we have it all. We also have a nether roof transportation hub easily accessible from spawn and with blue ice boat paths. Want to see more? Our photo galleries linked below. There are plenty of active players who are happy to help you get started and fill in the gaps for you!

We have no land claims plugin, but rest assured your builds and items are safe. We use CoreProtect, a plugin which keeps detailed logs of blocks, items, entities, and more. It allows for custom, precision rollbacks of specific players, time ranges, locations, and more. This allows for convenient grief reversal in real time. The CoreProtect inspect command is enabled for all players which allows you to check the logs of containers and blocks; you can see if alterations have been made by someone who does or does not have your permission without needing staff assistance.

🧭 ｢ Our Principles ｣ 🧭

Community First: Our primary goal is to foster a fun, cooperative, supportive community on our server. Profit from the server is not a short or long-term goal. We want to scale and develop our community, but at a pace that is reasonable and sustainable.

Long-Term Map: We plan to never reset the map. We want builds, farms, and communities made on the server to be permanent, and this is why we have opted for an expanding map to incorporate content from new releases.

Golden Rule: Respect. Other. Players. You can see a more precise list of rules on our spawn board or Discord server, but in general all rules follow from the simple principles of respecting others and using common sense.

Work Hard, Play Hard: The server is on hard difficulty. There is no keepinventory, no /tp, no /back, no warps other than /spawn and /home, and staff will not use tools to roll back legitimate deaths or mistakes that do not violate the rules. We hope in our community you will become a pro gamer, and this means learning to navigate all the difficulties of the Minecraft world, even if they are sometimes frustrating or inconvenient. We aim to preserve the minimalism and realism of Minecraft, as we believe these features are essential for maximizing players' sense of immersion in our world and community. We hope you will feel the same way if you give it a try!

No P2W: We do not and will not even remotely resemble a Pay to Win server. We do accept donations. There are currently no perks for donors, but if any future perks are added they will be purely cosmetic (e.g. colored names or tags in game or on Discord).

📀 ｢ Discord Overview ｣ 📀

On our Discord you can:

Submit help tickets to notify staff of problems
Submit suggestion tickets with your ideas about how to improve the server
Read our FAQ and Info sections for additional information
Check out photos of many of the server's coolest builds
Share pet photos and memes
Voice chat and listen to music
Ask any questions and engage with our awesome community!

Fatal SMP

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date May 21, 2026

FatalSMP – Survival Where Every Encounter Matters

FatalSMP is a persistent, always-online survival multiplayer server built around one core idea: player freedom with real consequences. Set in a near-vanilla environment, the server allows players to shape their own path—whether that means building, exploring, forming alliances, or engaging in combat with others.

At the heart of FatalSMP is open interaction. While traditional survival elements remain fully intact, the world is designed to encourage tension, unpredictability, and strategy. Player-versus-player combat is enabled and plays a central role in the experience. The primary objective for many will be to hunt, outplay, and eliminate other players—but this is not enforced. You are free to choose your own approach, whether that involves conflict, cooperation, or complete isolation.

This flexibility creates a dynamic environment where no two players experience the server in the same way. Some may rise as powerful solo survivors, avoiding contact and building in secrecy. Others may form alliances, creating groups that dominate through strength in numbers. Meanwhile, more aggressive players may actively track and engage others, turning the world into a high-risk battlefield.

The server runs continuously with no scheduled resets, meaning every action has a lasting impact. Structures remain, territories evolve, and the history of player interactions becomes part of the world itself. Decisions matter—trust can lead to powerful alliances, while a single mistake can result in losing everything you’ve built.

FatalSMP maintains a clean, near-vanilla experience. There are no intrusive modifications that change core gameplay mechanics, no pay-to-win systems, and no artificial advantages given to specific players. Everyone starts equally, and progress is determined entirely by skill, strategy, and decision-making.

Combat is a key element, but it is not the only path. Players are not forced into constant fighting. You can choose when to engage, when to avoid conflict, and when to take risks. This balance creates a unique atmosphere where tension is always present—even during quiet moments. The possibility of encountering another player at any time adds an extra layer of intensity to exploration and survival.

The world itself is vast and open, encouraging players to explore, expand, and claim territory. Hidden bases, remote outposts, and strategic locations all play a role in long-term survival. Resource management, positioning, and awareness become critical factors as the server develops over time.

FatalSMP is designed for players who enjoy emergent gameplay—where the experience is not scripted, but shaped entirely by player actions. Every fight, alliance, and decision contributes to an evolving world filled with unpredictability and challenge.

There are no required external platforms, no mandatory communities to join, and no barriers to entry. Players can connect directly and begin playing immediately, making the server accessible while still offering depth for long-term engagement.

If you are looking for a survival experience that combines freedom, tension, and player-driven conflict, FatalSMP offers a world where every encounter has meaning. Whether you choose to fight, hide, build, or dominate, the outcome is entirely up to you.

Join FatalSMP and define your own survival story—just remember, not every player you meet will be friendly.

NoFilterNetwork

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date May 21, 2026

NoFilter Network is an 18+ modded Minecraft community built around active players, long-term worlds, unique events, and community-driven decisions.

Our main server is the official Cisco’s DragonFyre: NFN Edition, a modded RPG adventure experience focused on dragons, magic, exploration, progression, bosses, building, and long-term survival gameplay. The DragonFyre server runs on a dedicated server for better stability, smoother performance, and an improved experience for everyone.

We host unique bi-weekly events where players can earn lootbags, ranks, and other rewards on the DragonFyre server. We also launch temporary event worlds where players can fight unrespawnable bosses, giving everyone more chances to experience major fights and earn rewards without affecting the main world.

Alongside DragonFyre, we also run a rotating modpack server that changes modpacks biweekly, giving our community another way to explore new packs and keep things fresh.

What makes NoFilter Network different is that the community has a real voice. Changes, additions, and future plans are all decided through polls because we believe:

“The server is yours as much as it is mine.”

Join us if you’re looking for an active 18+ modded Minecraft community, a long-term DragonFyre world, regular events, long-term friends, and a server where your input actually matters.
