Hi everyone,
This is a simple, vanilla server. It's mostly populated by some long-time friends of mine, but we would like to add some new people to our ranks. Spawn is in an ocean biome, and you will need to swim to find land. We have a couple quality-of-life data packs that add things like /trigger home and /trigger spawn. Players and mobs also drop their heads on occasion. Beyond that, there are no further additions to the server.
We intend to always run the latest snapshot of Minecraft.
Almost anything is allowed (this includes griefing), the only rules are:
Treat others with respect;
Don't intentionally crash the server.
If you're wondering if you would like our community, just about everyone on this server is in their mid-twenties or older. We are mostly Americans, but we have some Russian and Polish speakers, too.
