    Red sadness server minecraft

    The red sad server has existed since 2015 and offers to return to the “tube” time when each player mined the blocful objects with his own labor. There is no mini-game on it (with the exception of a mob-anrane on which you can relax from construction, if you want), sales of “admins” and other garbage, which leaves one word from survival. But there are opportunities to teleport home and to each other on request, to protect the territory, as well as a lot of strong mobs and two large worlds (not counting the lower and edge), one of which is never cleaned, so your buildings will remain here forever.

    Deep

    Deep

    Thanks for checking out DEEPNilla, my shot at doing no hack anarchy “right”!
    Supports version 1.9.x – 1.21.8

    Disillusionment with previous servers drove me to start my own to try and solve their pitfalls, so what does make this server special?

    The classic no hack anarchy experience! Connect to gather resources, build anything anywhere, and fight your fellow players! Just avoid using cheats/hacks commonly found on anarchy servers with fewer rules.
    Detailed rules defining what isn’t against the rules. Mod abuse eliminated!
    Anti xray that actually works! If you’re worried others are cheating when it comes to mining, don’t! Paper’s built in anti xray, supplemented with additional plugins has, to my knowledge, fully prevented xray cheats when it comes to mining and pieray.
    Tired of waiting through every night? You can vote to skip the night with /sleep in game!
    Hate the rng when it comes to travelling to specific biomes or structures? Use /seed in game to get the world seed and use chunkbase to get their faster!
    Getting sick of nether portals taking too long? Their time has been decreased so moving dimensions is lightning fast!
    Wish phantoms would just go away? They’re set to only spawn once per night, just in case you need membranes.
    Curious about what players have been up to? Use /stats in game to check various in game stats on anyone! No bot required!
