We reset only a few weeks ago to our new 1.21 season, and are only just fighting the dragon later today 😀

About Us

While marked as semi-vanilla, the actual experience is identically vanilla. We just use a few plugins to prevent grief, hook into discord, have a web map, etc.

Elysia is a whitelisted serverwhich is an important filter in making sure everyone you'll meet is friendly, accepting and an overall pleasant addition.

LGBTQ+ Friendly is a core belief of ours, and inclusivity is something we won't compromise on.

16+ Dedicated Players. While in the past we've had some friendly <16s, as the original community grows older and as we've shifted directions (with features like voicechat) a higher age requirement just made sense. It's also provided a much more relaxed vibe and allowed us to host events like a several hour long Minecraft DND night (which we did a few times last season).
With that said though, we have an array of activity and skill levels ranging from casual players to people that clearly must have longer days than I given how incredible some of their projects are.
Here's a video I made 3 years ago playing a game built by a long-term Elysia player

Features

• (opt-in) Proximity Chat Modwe use Plasmo Voice. Takes two minutes to setup, and we'd be happy to help if you're unfamiliar but interested.
• Armor Stand Toolswith features like turning them invisible or small to pull off tricks like these (my house so far this season)
• Discord > server chat allowing you to talk back & forth with anyone online anywhere you have Discord
• A web based world map rendered in the highest quality & with multiple perspectives to admire your builds or spy on others.
• Gradual world border expansion keeping things fresh. The next one's later today, where the map goes from a 1k radius to 2k. This nulls the advantage day 1 players have, and allows people who missed launch to experience that initial exploration.
• Grief prevention systems in-place to detect & seamlessly revert grief.
• Adult staff team with years of experience and void of power complexes. It's a really lowkey server, 99% of the time all we do is mark dynmap claims or help out with redstone.
• Opt-in only PVP
• Decorative player heads (as seen in the armor stand tools pic)
• Decisions made by community vote
• Sleep skip

Non-Features

Keep inventory, different modes than survival, plugins that change the vanilla experience, plugin/money based economy, donator perks with advantages

About me

I started Elysia several years ago, and I've since had the privilege of watching it grow and flourish into such an incredible community. There're players who've been here since day 1, and players I've become close friends with.

Server hosting was a hobby I picked up in 2013 as a kid hoping to just find a few people to play Minecraft with, and between then and now I've ran several servers big and small but none have stuck in my heart quite like Elysia has. This server will stay running until there's nobody left playing this game.
