Server background:
Once upon a time I also looked through dozens of servers in search of “The One”, but after weeks of searching I realized one simple thing – the ideal server does not exist. Somewhere there was terribly low rendering, somewhere too big gameplay restrictions, somewhere it was simply unpleasant to play because of the terrible community. That's when I decided to make a server where I personally would be comfortable playing. So 4 years ago Vanilla appeared, which was hosted for 300 rubles.
I played here alone for a week, after which I decided to add the server to monitoring. I did not count on any popularity, or earnings from the server. No, I just hoped that several people would come in, in order to brighten up my leisure time by playing together. As you can see, 4 years have passed since then, the server has changed a lot for the better, a whole team of administrators appeared and many new and interesting people play here. This says something, doesn't it?
What I have managed to achieve in these 4 years:
During this time, the server was made as convenient, understandable, pleasing to the eye, and ultimately interesting as possible.
With the appearance of a more or less large online on the server, a system of minimum prices was invented. Now it has begun to be used on many servers, but initially it appeared here.
I never liked wipes, that's why a system of transition to new versions was invented, which allows to avoid them in 90% of cases. If due to global updates of the world it is impossible to avoid a wipe, then I simply transfer the buildings of those who want to.
Do you know about the data pack of 1200 achievements? Usually, no one bothers with manual translation and just puts the data pack with the translation on the server, but I went a little further. That's why the server now has a bunch of manually translated achievements, including jokes and local memes. In addition, now you don't need to download the data pack and wait extra seconds when entering and exiting the server. A small thing, but nice.
Unfortunately, vanilla gameplay gets boring very quickly. That's why the server has a system of Easter eggs and tasks that can take a good ten hours of time.
Are you annoyed by the caustic colors in the overall design of the servers? Me too, so everything here is very minimalistic and neatly designed
Support for popular mods:
PlasmoVoice – voice chat. Installation instructions are available on the server using the /voice command
EmoteCraft – emotions, like on the bedrock version of the game. Installation instructions are available on the server using the /emotes command
Well, yes, the server runs on BedrockEdition – mc.vanillaplay.net:19132
Answers to frequently asked questions:
Why are there privates on the server?
Nowadays, everyone is crazy about rolling back broken buildings with the CoreProtect plugin, isn't it? – People started fighting not the cause, but the effect. For what reason should we spend time rolling back griefing if we can nip it in the bud?
Why is there currency on the server?
Of course, you can roll back to the times of the birth of economic relations and use barter, but for what purpose? Now we get currency by selling hard-to-get resources, the price of which changes periodically. We do not tie the currency to one single resource (usually it is tied to diamonds), and we also do not allow inflation through minimum prices for valuables.
Why is there a teleport here?
I asked myself this question a year ago and tried to make them paid for a start, thinking that it would diversify the gameplay. You should have seen the players' reaction to this action)) We all came to the conclusion that the teleport reduces the time spent on the most trivial things by a MULTIPLE amount and people simply do not want to spend several hours a day on boat trips around the hub, although I am sure that it is incredibly interesting (no)
Hardware, optimization:
It would be nice to spend only 300 rubles a month, like when the server was created, but it doesn't work like that anymore π
| You can describe everything in one sentence “I wish I had a PC like this at home…”, and to be more specific, the server is currently on a dedicated server with an i9-9900k, 128Gb RAM and 2TB SSD
| During the existence of the server, I climbed in and configured ALL the configs, so you don’t have to worry about that, everything works like clockwork.
