720 hours later….

The server collapsed.
So, we spent a month in discord calls building a new one.

After the crash and burn of our old server, our community came together to build something better… something that would last.

No staff abuse. No pay to win. No AI. No corruption.

We wanted to build a server that players could take part in building. Something we could all be proud to be a part of.

We started as a few refugees hanging out in a discord call, but we built something much bigger. We clocked in and put in the hours. We gamed a little, joked around a lot, and spent so many hours together turning our ideas into a reality.

720 hours

And while that number doesn’t seem like much in the long run, what you don’t see is the hundreds of conversations, more ideas than can be counted, and the birth of a new home:

Pandaville

We built it together and now we are offering you the keys. Our home can become yours too.

Come be a part of something bigger. Make friends. Hangout. Maybe build something along the way.

We put in the 720 hours. Now it is your turn.

Kindred SMP [SMP] {Friendly}

Kindred SMP

Build. Explore. Belong.

Kindred SMP is an upcoming 18+ Minecraft Java community focused on friendship, creativity, and shared adventures.

Inspired by the community spirit of servers like Hermitcraft, Kindred SMP is being built around one simple idea:

We’re not trying to become the biggest server.
We’re trying to become a place where everybody knows each other.

Our vision is a long-term, seasonal SMP where players build lasting friendships while creating incredible worlds together through collaboration, community projects, events, and exploration.

🌿 Before Season 1…

While we eagerly await the Dappled Forest Update for Minecraft, we’re bringing the community together with a casual pre-season modded server.

We’re currently playing on our own custom version of the Create: Live 6 modpack - a fun way to meet new people, make friends, and enjoy some modded Minecraft before the official SMP begins.

Think of it as our community’s pre-season.

The real adventure begins with Season 1.

💜 What Makes Kindred Different?

🏡 Community First
Kindred is built around people, not player counts. We value kindness, respect, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

🎙️** Active Voice Cha**t
We use Simple Voice Chat to encourage natural conversations and genuine friendships.

🌍 Seasonal SMP
Fresh worlds. Fresh adventures. Fresh stories. Every season is a chance for everyone to leave their mark.

🎉 Community Events
From build competitions and treasure hunts to seasonal celebrations and community challenges, there’s always something to look forward to.

🏗️** Community Project**s
Spawn Village • Shopping District • Nether Hub • Public Infrastructure • Community Builds • And much more.

🌍 Season 1 Vision

Launching with the Dappled Forest Update.

🏡 Community Spawn Village
🛒 Player Shopping District
🛣️ Community-built Nether Hub
🎉 Regular Community Events
🤝 Long-term Friendships
🌲 A fresh seasonal world where everyone starts together.

🔎 Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for players who:

✅ Are 18+
✅ Enjoy building, exploring, redstone, or community projects
✅ Value kindness and respect
✅ Want a long-term world rather than a short-lived server
✅ Want to make genuine friendships
✅ Are excited to help shape Kindred from the very beginning

🚀 Interested?

If Kindred sounds like the type of community you’ve been looking for, we’d love to have you.

💜 Join our Discord:

https://discord.gg/JBS2kEdktr

Whether you’re joining us for the pre-season modded server or waiting for the launch of Season 1, there’s already a place for you here.

💜 Kindred SMP 💜

I made my first minecraft server

Hi, my name is Quin. The past few months i have spend allot of time building my first minecraft server. I started with knowing nothing from servers to trying and making mistakes and figering out how things worked. Now i have a nice gameplay, smooth perfomance, pvp/economy minecraft vannila server.

The server is donutsmp style but with a spawn, PVE arena, player shop wraps and extra things to make it good and fun. Its a crossplay server minecraft java and bedrock can play togeter. I have mutiple pliguns confrigrated so that players can start shops, fight PVP and PVE, expand bases and set homes, building a empire wirh farms to make money (not rigged)

I search players to test the server, for issues, gameplay and performance. I was thinking to let a test phase run for (30 days) and if it is good enough i keep it running with upcomming updates (I first need to do marketing😅)

Java: ip: 170.205.26.146:25565

Brdrock: ip: 170.205.26.146

Bedrock port: 25580

The server is not cracked

The sercer has anticheats (feel welcome to test)

The server has 0 pay options not willing to add either

LegendaryHardcore [Hardcore] [Vanilla] [Semi-Anarchy] {20 month old map} {41k unique players} {no alts}

Legendary Hardcore is the original Hardcore SMP with no map resets, and no revives. In over 20 months 41,000 players have joined and 21k have died.

Alting is strictly prohibited, meaning every player to ever join is unique. You only get one chance.

Against all odds, this is a very active server. Recently going viral on YouTube, the server has 60-100+ players online at all times.

The server is completely vanilla, only adding features to enhance the Hardcore experience. The biggest change is Indestructible player heads on death. No player is ever forgotten. There is also Indestructible player journals that allow each players story to be remember forever.

Much of the servers history can be found on our player-maintained wiki, allowing for the servers most epic stories to be remember forever.

The server has a 7.5k spawn radius, so spawn killing is very uncommon. Play safe, and you will survive.

Grab your buddies, and tackle one of the most challenging servers Minecraft has to offer.

Just remember, don't die

BRAND NEW FOREVER SERVER

Just launched a vanilla survival server
This is a forever world.

No /tpa. No /home. No /spawn. No economy. No land claims. No pay-to-win. Just Minecraft.

The only major addition is anti-cheat to keep things fair. Players also randomly spawn within a 250-block area, so there’s no giant protected spawn or forced starting point.

The world is brand new, which means now is the perfect time to get in early, find your spot, and start building.

Come build, survive, meet people, and have fun. We’re trying to create the kind of world you come back to years later.

IP: Oldschoolvanilla.mcserver.us
One world. No resets. Just Minecraft.

Looking for a Server

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about starting my 2 week Minecraft phase again. I'm looking for a survival server that is mainly vanilla (can include QoL mods, but I need to be shown how to activate them) with a small community (preferably under 100 members).

If you have a server you'd recommend or own one you'd like to suggest, let me know down below or DM here on Reddit.

Best regards,

BRAND NEW SERVER — STARTED 5 MINUTES AGO
This server literally just launched, which means nobody is stacked yet. No maxed-out netherite players, no giant established bases, no one sitting on weeks worth of resources.
Everyone is starting from zero. If you join now, you’re getting in at the very beginning on an even playing field.
FRESH SERVER — WILL NEVER RESET
IP: oldschoolvanilla.mcserver.us
Java & Bedrock
Old-school vanilla survival. No /tpa, no /home, no /spawn, no economy, no land claims. Just Minecraft.

Looking for a truly vanilla survival server

Sleep Debt SMP / 22+ / Vanilla+ / Whitelisted

🌙 Sleep Debt SMP | 22+ | Vanilla+ | Java + Bedrock | 26.2 Community Driven

Looking for a small adult SMP that still feels like actual Minecraft?

SleepDebtSMP is a 22+ whitelisted Hard survival world. Vanilla+ meaning we keep the core game intact, then add a few quality-of-life things so daily play isn’t needlessly annoying. No pay-to-win. No bloated plugin menu. No “1000 members / 4 people online” vibe.

We’re building a place people actually log into because they like the world and the people in it.

✨ Why Vanilla+ instead of pure vanilla

Pure vanilla is great until you’ve waited through your fifteenth sleepless night because one person is underground, or you’re punching leaves for half an hour after chopping a tree.

So we keep survival real — Hard difficulty, normal progression, dying still sucks — and layer on comfort:

  • 🛏️ One-player sleep — nights don’t hold the whole server hostage
  • 🍂 Faster leaf decay — trees feel better to clear
  • 💀 Mob head drops
  • 🎤 Simple Voice Chat — talk while you build if you want near other players.
  • 🗺️ BlueMap — check the world from a browser
  • 💾 Nightly backups + scheduled restarts — so the world doesn’t eat itself
  • Huge server performance improvements, network routing for those in other countries, you will have half of your typical "foreign" ping.
  • Everything is "invisible" so all the improvements etc. you will feel, but not have to deal with menus or slop.
  • Discord Server chat, even if you're not in-game you can still talk to everyone else and stay involved!
  • Grief Rollbacks & Tracking (If we ever have a player that decides to grief the server, we can simply rollback certain areas and/or check if someone is stealing from you!)

☕ Java and Bedrock both work through Geyser & Floodgate. Same world, same whitelist process.

If a feature starts feeling like it ruins the game, we drop or change it. The point is comfort, not turning Minecraft into a different game.

👥 Who we’re looking for

22 and up. Whitelist only.

We’re after people who can be normal online — chat, collaborate when it makes sense, don’t grief, don’t treat the server like a disposable lobby.

You’ll find:

  • 🌱 first-timers figuring things out
  • ⚔️ long-time players who’ve been around forever
  • 🏠 builders, explorers, farmers, redstoners, shop people
  • 🧱 folks who just want a quiet base and good company in chat

You don’t have to join every project. Solo play is fine. So is helping with roads, farms, districts, shops, or public builds. The server works best when there’s a mix.

We’re not collecting Discord ghosts. A smaller active group beats a huge inactive one every time.

🐉 The End is locked (on purpose)

Nobody’s killed the dragon yet.

We’re keeping The End closed until the community’s ready to do it together — vote, pick a time, go in as a group for the first fight. That way the big milestone isn’t “three people already finished the game while everyone else is still in iron.”

So if you’re worried you missed the early days and everyone’s already flying around with elytra: you didn’t. There’s still a lot of firsts left on this world.

🗳️ How decisions get made

This isn’t a dictatorship where admins silently change everything overnight.

Bigger changes, events, and direction stuff get talked about with players. People pitch ideas, help run projects, and sometimes end up owning a corner of the server — a district, a shop street, a community farm, whatever makes sense.

If something bugs you and you’ve got a fix or a better approach, say it. That’s how the place improves.

📅 What a normal week looks like

Some people grind farms. Some terraform. Some mess with redstone until 2am. Some just hang in voice and build a stupidly detailed kitchen.

Chat stays pretty chill. Drama gets shut down. Whitelist exists so we can keep it that way.

Hard mode means the world can still kill you. QoL means getting back to playing doesn’t feel like a chore.

📩 If you want in

Join Discord, apply for whitelist, tell us a bit about yourself. We’re looking for adults who want a long-term world to settle into — not a one-night random public server.

💤 SleepDebtSMP — adult Vanilla+ survival, comfy QoL, real community, world still early enough to matter.
