sVanilla SMP is a hard-mode, near-vanilla Java survival server made for players who want Minecraft without all the extra clutter. No economy, no land claims, no admin shops, no pay-to-win, no giant rulebook. Just survival, PvP, trading, alliances, rivalries, bases, exploration, and the kind of stories players end up making for themselves.
The server keeps vanilla mechanics as intact as possible, with only a few simple quality-of-life commands like /sethome, /tpa, /spawn, and /rtp. Spawn is protected so new players do not show up to a crater, and nearby terrain has basic protection against pointless destruction, but outside that, the world is pretty much yours to deal with.
Chat and player interaction are intentionally hands-off, so this is a raw, unscripted SMP where people can joke around, scheme, team up, betray each other, or just do their own thing. The only hard line is cheating, since hacks are not part of the deal here.
