If you want to play Minecraft as it was intended to be played, youve come to the right place.

Most Minecraft servers dont really let you play Minecraft. Minigames, Factions, kit PvP, and economy servers all advertise exciting gameplay. These servers can be fun, but by piling on new features and changing how the game works, they take some of the magic out of Minecraft and end up providing an experience that in many cases has already been done better by other popular games. It can be hard to find a server that doesnt suffer from this in some way even servers that promise vanilla gameplay are often plagued by cheaters, unresponsive/abusive staff, lag, or crashing, and often have gameplay-changing plugins, restrictive rules, or unnecessary features that dont improve the experience. VanillaEvolved does things differently.

Features:
Hard difficulty
No whitelist
Server runs on Paper for maximum performance without changing most vanilla game mechanics
Revamped private messaging system with replying and group messaging capabilities
Anti x-ray feature foils x-ray hackers by hiding unexposed ore until players reach it
NoCheat+ blocks nearly every cheat in the book without interfering with normal gameplay
Configured and managed by a server owner with over 8 years of experience
Minimal number of added commands, just no-strings-attached vanilla SMP


Rules:
Treat others with the same respect you would want for yourself. This includes but is not limited to not repeatedly and frequently griefing the same players and not targeting offensive language at other players. If you dont respect yourself very much, at least give others a base level of respect.
Dont bother trying to cheat, it wont work.
Dont deliberately cause lag or downtime.
Dont advertise other Minecraft servers, in public chat or through private message.
