NEW: 1.21.11!
Welcome to PureVanilla!
We are a vanilla Minecraft survival multiplayer server (SMP). Here you'll find multiple game modes, including our fully vanilla game mode, the original vanilla game mode we all know and love, the way Minecraft was intended to be played.
[We are a fair server! No PW2 or Cheats] We are not 2b2t, so griefing for the sake of destroying is not allowed. You'll have fun playing this game mode, getting to know new amazing people, create your little town or base, and just enjoying the game as you used to do when you created that server using hamachi when you were 9 :'). Join and you'll see it for yourself. You can't teleport to players, this is a vanilla server! And we don't have ranks or vote rewards either!
In order to guarantee a lag-free experience, good game play, perfect ping and make our server viable, we also have another game mode, our economy sever. Note this server is completely individual from our vanilla server, so you won't find any economy-related features on the vanilla realm. Thanks to our years of expertise, we know how to create the best survival server for Minecraft 1.21. We can claim that thanks to our completely unique economy system. Here, you'll be delighted with money appearing when breaking ores, chopping down trees, harvesting crops, and more! They even make a satisfying "Kaching!" sound when you get them :D, beautiful. Here, you can claim your builds and safely play with friends without having the risk of any strangers breaking into your precious house.
Make sure you are using the latest Minecraft version (1.21 as I'm typing this). The server very much updated. For real, this server is usually the first server among of the thousands listed on this site to update its Minecraft version.
We want all players to enjoy releases as soon as they are published, so you won't have to wait more than a day to play them!
We also don't reset out world, unless more players want us to reset it. For example, last time we waited about 3 years to reset our map. We also did reset the nether dimension when the nether update dropped. We are very reasonable with this topic, and we take player legacy very seriously, that is just one of the many reasons players trust us :).
The players are amazing. That's all we have to say about the players in this server; they are friendly, fun, chill, and competitive when they need to be. You can chat with us on our Discord guild. We also do some cool events, and do videos featuring player builds.

Yes — combat is part of how Pure Vanilla is categorized (Survival), with related tags like vanilla, pvp, smp, 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.
