Greetings lads, welcome to SalvosCraft ! You will be able to enjoy a unique survival experience with a custom blood plugin (with a damage system), custom mobs that will increase the difficulty, you will be able to claim land, be in the lands top owners, and take part in battles against other territories to show them your strengh ! When you first start, make sure to build a shelter before dawn otherwise your chances of making it alive till sunrise are none.

Additionally, we have player market where you can buy or sell items to other players as well as automated shops with villager merchants at spawn who can provide you with OP enchanted items!

Moreover, we do have a battlepass systematization with seasons, custom challenges and weeklty mission !

Furthermore, to make it even more challenging we added huge dungeons that you can farm or adventure through, with loots you can get for slayings mobs, a final boss will be waiting for you at the end of each and one of them.

However if land wars is to slow for you and you seek for a fast paste pvp, you can duel your enemies or foes in a 1 versus 1 combat with custom kits, custom arenas with strategy points, to prove who is the best of the best !

On top of that, If you are looking for a more discret approach, you are allowed to place bounties on other players, so you can hunt them down, find their base and steal their treasures !

Also, we love to reward the players that vote for and support us in our project, with FREE crate keys that can be earned while voting for the server !

People have been asking for a more challenging experiment ? What are you waiting for ?

2b2t Active Amazing Anarchy Build Discord Eco Elytra End Event Fly Freedom Fun Grief Griefing Hack Hacking Hacks Hard Legit Minecraft New Norules Open Play Player Plugin Plugins Pvp React Server Servers Spawn Staff Story Title War Wars Who

AlternateAnarchy

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date May 28, 2020

https://discord.gg/MAFXrDp

Welcome to the Alternative Anarchy Discord. We are a Minecraft Anarchy server who’s mission is to provide a different Anarchy experience than other 10 million Anarchy servers.

How we define Anarchy; We define Anarchy as a Minecraft server with no limits to gameplay or experiences. We define Anarchy as an MC experience with zero rules and a million possibilities. Anarchy should be played how the player decides he wants to play it, with no strings or ties attached. Most of all Anarchy should not have staff interference, the world should be shaped and played by the players.

What makes us different; Think of other anarchy servers such as the legendary 2b2t, Think of the history of 2b2t, and how its history was shaped. One word, HACKS. When we think of Anarchy we think of a server with people flying around using infinite Elytra hacks. Imagine 2b2t’s history and how different it could have been if you took out the aspect of hacking. We want to completely eliminate hacking on Alternative Anarchy and provide a more hands-on, interactive experience. This idea is extremely controversial and will not be liked by many but hear us out. Some would say the golden days of 2b2t were when players did not use hacks and everything that happened felt more accomplishing. Traveling large distances are WORTH it because you can build a amazing base and have it last ages. GRIEFING will be more accomplishing because finding bases will be harder and the reaction of the victims will be better. WARS will be more accomplishing because pvp will be more legit and strategies will be thought out and executed better. Anything you could do on 2b2t will be 10x more accomplishing,worth it, hands on, and overall FUN.

How will this be accomplished; We will use multiple plugins/scripts to block hacks. If we have to we will eventually block users from joining on clients altogether. It’s our responsibility to keep the idea of our server alive and updated. If someone breaches the ant-hack we will find a way to stop it from happening again.

Rules LOL; Remember this is Anarchy there are ZERO RULES. You find a glitch in-game EXPLOIT IT, You wanna destroy spawn DESTROY IT, You wanna kill a player and destroy his hard work DO IT, finally, you wanna somehow build a legendary base with a group of 10 and protect it for as long as you can DO IT. Like we said its our responsibility to keep players from hacking on our server NOT YOURS. If you somehow hack on the server its totally fair game but expect us to find a way to stop you from doing it again. Again ZERO RULES. We encourage you to break the possibilities of Minecraft, we encourage you to break your morals.

Be the start of our History; As stated earlier anything done on this server will be 10x more accomplishing then any other Anarchy server. Imagine being the first one to reach the world border. Imagine making a lava wall around spawn with restriction on HACKS. Doing things like reaching the world border will not only be in minecrafts history books. SO BECOME A PART OF A BETTER HISTORY TODAY

Redstoniam

IP: redstoniam.my.pebble.host
Discord: https://discord.gg/JXBa2QpmVc

Redstoniam is a semi-anarchy survival server in which the only rules are:

No advantageous mods/cheats or item dupes

No bigotry

No lag machines

We are focused on creating an incredibly simple and authentic multiplayer experience. Griefing, stealing, and killing is entirely permitted. There are no plugins that alter the vanilla experience, and moderation is focused on chat and cheaters.

The server was launched yesterday as of the posting of this advertisement, so we have some temporary alterations to the world.
For the first week, the world size will slowly be increasing from 4kx4k to 1mx1m. The end is also disabled for this first week, but will promptly be enabled after it has passed.

Hello and welcome to the community: La Confrérie, inhabited by active, mature and caring players towards each other, we want to have a good time on this wonderful game which is Minecraft. We don’t like to take ourselves too seriously, even if the union minimum is present, we like the joy of living and the various good conversations on our Discord server.

Launched at the beginning of March 2022, La Confrérie now welcomes around ten quality people.
We are constantly evolving into the latest version of the vanilla game, which is currently 1.18.2

Les data packs :
Heads: the head data pack allows you to have a percentage chance to loot the head of the killed mobs (datapacks present on the Holycube series)

These data packs, as well as the plugins installed on the server, do not really change the player’s experience, they somehow bring more challenges and better management of the server.

Join us :
The brotherhood seeks to acquire some new active and motivated members to live with us this experience.
Access to the server is only reserved for adults who have applied, a voice interview is required. The objective, as you will have understood, is to guarantee a certain maturity.

You have the possibility to come with your friends, in this case, each member of your group must make an individual application, and specify it in their application.

For the rest, come and discover for yourself!

Please join us on our discord: discord.gg/MKaDVjeAMK
and share your application with your:

Thanks for checking out my post kind Minecrafter!

Earthforce is a longtime community of veteran Minecraft players who love a sense of community, friendship, and longterm server growth. We started in 2015, and built a beautiful vibrant world. We are now back, opening our server up from whitelist to public, with a freshly wiped world (roughly 1 week ago) and we are allowing new members in! All of our current members are between 17-25 so join a mature, levelheaded, fun community!

Our server is basic SMP, but features land claiming with greif prevention, hourly backups, 1000 starter claim blocks, a TOP OF THE LINE SELF HOSTED PRIVATE SERVER. Not some cheap monthly rented server.

We are welcoming anyone and everyone. We currently only have less than 10 members on our new wipe, and would love any long term players who want to build with a community to join our discord and connect!

Please join our discord to connect with members, check out our live server worldmap, take part in giveaways, community events, and more!

JDSCraft – 1.18.2

Post author By ServerFinder
Post date April 18, 2022

Welcome to JDSCraft!
Hello everyone, my name is Jake and I would like to introduce you to JDSCraft. We are going to be a survival server with many features such as boosters, buyable warps, voting rewards, rewards(daily, weekly, monthly), quests, and maybe a rank system where you can level up your main character.

Currencies – Released (Red Essence, and Influence Points)
We currently have two currencies. The first currency is Influence Points, which players can use to buy in-game items that they earn through jobs. You will also eventually be able to buy commands with Influence Points. The other currency is Red Essence. This is our donation currency. You will be able to buy many things. Some stuff you can buy is disguises and other cool stuff. We will probably add a voting currency, which will be called Blue Essence, which can be used to redeem donation features and other get cool rewards. Alright, that’s it for currencies. I hope you are excited! There is more stuff to explain.

Warps – Not Released Yet
You will be able to buy warps to speed up the process of traveling. You will be able to instantly travel to a designated area of your choice. The warps will cost IP (Influence Points) anyone can use that. Become the most popular player and be able to travel to many warps and areas! The price of the warps is not determined yet. The thing is there is so much more to tell you!!

Boosters – Not Released Yet
This is fun, you will be able to spend influence points to buy boosters for Jobs and Mcmmo! You will be able to get 2x experience and money for jobs. Mcmmo will level up 2x faster. Hopefully, you enjoy that. The prices are not yet set in stoned, but I have an idea in mind. You will also be able to buy voting boosters with influence points to earn better rewards!

Rewards – Not Released Yet
JDSCraft would like to welcome you to the amazing rewards you get for logging in and you will be able to claim the rewards daily, weekly, and monthly. The rewards will probably be a key or items or something. We really appreciate players playing our server. We want you to feel welcome. It means a lot that you are playing our server and giving us a chance. I hope this server can fit your needs and you all have a blast!

Quests – Not Released Yet
Well, this is going to be interesting. I have never made a quest before, but I am wanting to learn how so my goal is to add a quest to JDSCraft. The quest will probably be basic then it will get more and more advance as times go on. Questing will be able to get you more features and you will even be able to claim rewards! I am thinking of having a separate world for the quest. I’m so excited!

Plugins
Our main plugins are Mcmmo, Ultracustomizer, and some others. Ultracustomizer is a great plugin that lets you customize your server and do custom stuff. If you are a server owner I 100% recommend it. We also have Jobs, and PyroFishing, along with PyroMining and PyroWeather. None of the Pyro’s are configured, so it’s not released.

Red Essence Emporium
One last thing before I forget! The Red Essence Emporium is what the donation shop is called. This can be accessed with /red or /menu > Red Essence! We will soon have an IP shop where you can buy many items, but for now, the Influence Points Emporium is not released. You will soon be able to buy items from the in the game shop with ShopGuiPlus+ (which is separate from the Influence Points Emporium)

Special thanks to anyone who read this far!
You are truly amazing if you read this far, but if you scanned through it that’s fine too! I hope you have a spectacular day.

One last thing…..
We are recruiting staff. We currently only have one other person than me that is working on the server. If you are interested please let me know! Builders also are appreciated! Omg, I forgot. We are a no griefing server.
