Looking for a survival server that feels like vanilla Minecraft, but still has surprises each time you adventure and login?
VanillaTwist adds just the right amount of sp-“ice” to keep things fresh, exciting, and rewarding each time, with the whitelist keeping everything community driven and safe.
Custom Terrain
Explore a stunning world powered by Terralith — featuring breathtaking biomes, reimagined caves, rare villages, and 200+ custom structures that breathe new life into survival exploration and make the world feel fresh again.
Balanced Villager Trading
We’re using Mojang’s Villager Trade Rebalance to make enchantment hunting actually fun and biome-based! Combined with a custom book upgrading datapack, you’ll need to think strategically about your trades, as putting the book into the lectern will make the villager sell that book.
Custom, Vanilla-Style Enchantments
Find unique enchants like Outreach, Photosynthesis, Ghasted, Tri-shot or Spitefull. We’ve tested and made adjustments to many of the enchants to ensure they’re balanced for the Vanilla experience.
Smart Datapacks, Crafting Packs & Additional Content
From Armor Stand Tools to Confetti Creepers, 100+ More Food to New Recipes in a Stone Cutter, we use hand-picked datapacks that enhance gameplay without ruining the survival feel from VanillaTweaks and Modrinth.
