Looking for a free to play, mature, Hermitcraft-esque server? A server where you can make friends, hang out while playing survival Minecraft, and don't have to worry about skill level? This is the server for you!
I run a mostly Vanilla Survival Multiplayer Minecraft server (Java), which has been going strong since March 2020. We usually reset the world for major updates. For smaller updates, we reset specified chunks. Recently, we updated to 1.21 (just last week, on Saturday 10th August)! Everything past a radius of 1000 blocks has been reset so that we have new chunks, with Trial Chambers, armadillos, and the new wolf variants. The End has also been trimmed so that new players can more easily find elytra.
We are always happy to have new players joining us, no matter level of experience in Minecraft, amount of time you are able to play, or age (as long as you are 18 or over!). We have an amazing community of people of varying ages, playstyles, and locations.
The server is Java edition and runs on Paper. I keep the server as close to Vanilla as possible, but we do have some datapacks for Quality of Life and fun (including Fast Leaf Decay, Armor Statues, Mob Head Drops, and more), as well as admin plugins to prevent and monitor cheating/griefing/hacking. We plan on keeping this world until the next major update (at which point we would run a community poll to see if people want to reset the world), so if you have any plans for big projects or large community builds, this is a great server to join. 🙂
We have experimental villager trades enabled (ref: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Villager_Trade_Rebalance ). If you do need any villagers, we have public villager breeders around the server, and one of our players has made a public villager trading hall, so just ask if you need any help!
Our community is very welcoming, and many players have stayed so long because we have all made firm friends through our time together on this server. We love having new members to hang out with, and you are welcome to livestream or record videos on the server if you choose! (Just be sure to give people a heads up if you are recording or streaming.)
Rules are pretty standard; be respectful, be kind, don't discriminate, don't grief or cheat. This is an LGBTQIA+ friendly server.
For more information or to apply, head over to our Server discord at https://discord.gg/DhhjQHQGwv . Any questions, don't hesitate to ask below, or send me a direct message! No exceptions made regarding the 18+ age requirement. (If a minor also plays Minecraft using your account and would therefore also be able to access our server, please let the admin team know so that we can be aware and ensure the minor's safety.)
Looking forward to seeing you soon! 😀
