Minecraft isn't what it used to be. Massive minigame server networks dominate the top server lists. Factions has seemingly become part of Minecraft for many. Even if you can manage to find a server that has pure survival mode, it's not unlikely that the fun will soon be ruined by cheaters, the server will lag and crash, or staff will abuse their power. If you just want to play Minecraft as it was intended to be played, you've come to the right place.
Rules:
1. Treat others with the same respect you would want for yourself.
2. Don't bother trying to cheat, it won't work.
3. Don't deliberately cause lag or downtime.
