Welcome to GenuineMC!
A Semi-Vanilla Minecraft Server
Established: July 8th, 2013
Who are we?
GenuineMC is a Semi-Vanilla Minecraft server that is run by an amazing community! We have attracted individuals of various ages and nationalities who have all found themselves at home on our server. Their voices have helped shape our community and have helped us prosper for 11 years as a Java Minecraft community. Their voices have allowed GenuineMC to become what it is today!
What is Semi-Vanilla?
Semi-Vanilla is essentially Minecraft, but with heightened aesthetics. We utilize plugins and datapacks that either add special effects or help improve previously existing mechanics. However, these additions don’t take away from the genuine Minecraft experience. That means you can join our server and utilize none of our plugins or datapacks, while still having a fun and wholesome experience playing the game.
Come build with us at SemiVanilla.Genmc.net! Or join our community Discord at https://discord.gg/XT7FSxw4uV!

Yes — combat is part of how GenuineMC is categorized (Survival), with related tags like pvp, parkour, pve.
That usually means PvP exists somewhere on the network (war zones, arenas, or open world). Always read spawn/safe-zone rules on this page or in Discord before fighting — many servers punish combat logging or spawn camping.
Our last successful ping for GenuineMC reported version Paper 26.2. That string comes from the live server, so it is the most reliable clue when Multiplayer says “outdated client” or “outdated server”.
The owner also listed these supported clients: 1-21. Multi-version networks (ViaVersion / protocol support) can accept a range such as 1.20–1.21 even when the ping string shows one build.
