Do you miss the nostalgic 2013-era of Prison servers before the creation of confusing GUI plugins, obnoxiously colorful chats, and OP economies?

Death Row was created to bring back the old-school prison to the modern Minecraft community.

It is tailored around custom content:
- NPC guards that actually patrol and enforce public contraband and PvP in the courtyard.
- Basketball courts where you can actually pick up a ball and shoot hoops
- A bus transport system that takes you to “community service” jobs as you rank up to help break of the monotony of the grind

The server is new, active, and eager for players. Come check us out. We update the server almost daily based on user feedback.

Hi all! I help to run a chill, back-to-basics server called Vanilla Cone SMP, and we're looking for more players! There are about 20 active players currently, and the community is incredibly friendly. We do a lot of chatting through the Minecraft chat, and we also have the Simple Voice Chat plugin for those who like talking over mic. We've had a few planned server events already including the End event, PvP tournaments and regular server tours, and a few impromptu ones as well. Overall, Vanilla Cone is a great place to meet cool people and to build, dig, and craft to your heart's content!

If you’re interested in joining or just want more info, add me on Discord at boeljert.

Re:Mine is a small, curated modded survival SMP inspired by Re:Zero, built around exploration, character specialization, challenging combat, and player-driven stories.

This isn't a roleplay server, and you don't need to be a content creator or experienced roleplayer. It's simply an SMP where the systems and world are designed to give players more interesting reasons to explore, specialize, cooperate, compete, and occasionally make questionable decisions. :)

What makes Re:Mine different?

Unique powers

Players can rarely receive Divine Protections, powerful blessings granted by the world itself. Some are common and relatively simple, while others are extraordinarily rare and can completely change how you play.

There are also Authorities, exceptionally powerful abilities inspired by Re:Zero. These are intentionally scarce, so having one is a genuinely significant part of your character.

Magic specialization

We're using Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks as the server's primary magic system, with additional spell content and progression.

Rather than letting everyone become a master of every spell, players specialize in different schools of magic. You can still use other schools, but your affinity determines how effectively you can wield them.

Powerful spells also require actual progression through the magic system, so finding an incredibly powerful spell doesn't immediately turn you into a walking nuke.

Skill-based combat

Combat uses Epic Fight, giving fights more depth than vanilla's "jump and hit something until it dies."

There are also additional weapons and combat content, while deliberately avoiding mechanics like crystal PvP that don't fit the server.

A world worth exploring

The world uses enhanced terrain generation, expanded caves, structures, bosses, and other exploration content.

Some powerful items and resources are intentionally restricted or obtained through specific quests, bosses, events, or other progression paths. The goal is to make discovering something powerful actually feel meaningful.

Not a global Minecraft server

Re:Mine isn't designed around everyone knowing everything that's happening. A lot of information is intentionally local: chat uses proximity, player nametags and death messages aren't broadcast globally, and advancements won't announce everyone's accomplishments to the entire server. You'll have to actually talk to people, explore for yourself, and hear about things from other players rather than getting a server-wide notification every time someone does something interesting.

The goal isn't to hide information for the sake of hiding it, but to make the world feel less like a multiplayer lobby and more like an actual world you're living in.

Player-driven world

Build a settlement. Become a merchant. Join a group. Build roads between communities. Become a mage, warrior, explorer, or something completely different.

You aren't required to follow a predetermined storyline. What happens on the server is largely up to the players.

The modpack

The pack is currently around 100~ carefully selected mods, rather than being a massive kitchen-sink pack.

The majority of the mods exist to support a specific part of the server: combat, magic, exploration, building, transportation, quests, performance, or quality of life.

Some notable mods include:

• Epic Fight (Reworked combat)
• Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks (Magic spells)
• Hah! Ueuh~ (Protections & Authorities)
• Envelope (Pigeon messaging system)
• Terralith/Tectonic (Terrain generation)
• Infinity Cave (Cave generation/progression)
• FTB Quests (Quest system)
• Via Romana (Transportation)
• Simple Voice Chat/ChTR (Prox chat)
• and various performance/QoL mods

Who are we looking for?

Re:Mine will be invite-only/whitelisted. I'm deliberately keeping the playerbase relatively small so we can avoid the usual problems that come with completely open Minecraft servers.

You don't need to be an amazing builder, PvPer, roleplayer, or content creator.

What I'm primarily looking for are mature, chill people who actually want to play with a community.

If you're someone who enjoys:

• Exploring and discovering things
• Building alongside other players
• Creating your own character/playstyle
• Working together on projects
• PvE and challenging bosses
• Magic and RPG mechanics
• Making dumb decisions with friends and seeing what happens

...then you might fit in pretty well here.

Interested?

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, fill out the application below.

I'll look through applications personally and invite people who seem like they'd be a good fit for the community.

What is Orbis-Antiquus? 🌐

This is a currently in-development crossplatform server based on the concept of worldbuilding in Minecraft. We here at Orbis-Antiquus promise a long term server experience revolving around the principles of community, roleplay, and something is cherished by all.

At Orbis-Antiquus we aim for a server whose theme is based off of early Human history, where nations were first born and nations first died. Our map will be custom made and approximately 5k by 5k.

Discord: https://discord.gg/WXbv37pTQf

I'm looking for a Minecraft server that has Mods/Shaders and the ability to let me make little shops. I don't really care for the theme of the server but yeah.

Purrfect SMP is a long-term Minecraft community built around the idea that survival worlds should be grown, not reset every few months.

Our current forever world started in mid-January and has grown into a mix of massive technical farms, cozy towns, giant build projects, rail lines, shopping districts, community spaces, and way too many cat-related posters.

We’re a Fabric vanilla+ server inspired by the collaborative and community-focused style of servers like Hermitcraft, shared infrastructure, player-run shops, large projects, and a world that evolves over time.

Whether you like building, exploring, automating everything possible, or just hanging out in voice chat while working on projects, there’s room for you here.

Some of our favorite features:

• Simple Voice Chat

• BlueMap live world map

• Graves / death recovery

• Towns & Towers structures

• QoL and building-focused mods

• Performance optimization mods

• Shared community infrastructure and shopping district

• No RTP, /home, or player teleportation

• Creative world launching soon About the community:

• Minecraft 26.2

• Fabric vanilla+ experience

• 18+ whitelist server

• LGBTQ+ friendly

• ~60+ Discord members

• Builders, technical players, casual players, and newer players all welcome

• We also hang out and play other games together outside Minecraft

We recently upgraded from hosted infrastructure onto privately owned hardware to support long-term growth and a larger active player base, with backups running twice daily. If you’re looking for a server where your builds might still matter years from now, you’d probably fit in well here.

DM me if you are interested, you will be asked a few questions by me.

Looking for a survival server where you can actually settle down, build something long-term, and get to know the people you’re playing with?

Townify is a Java Towny survival server focused on long-term progression, player towns, and a community-driven economy. We’re not trying to turn Minecraft into an entirely different game — the goal is to give normal survival more things to work toward without making everything feel overly complicated.

🏘️ Create or join a town
Build your own settlement, recruit other players, join a nation, or just find an existing town and make yourself at home.

💰 Player-driven economy
Earn money through Jobs, sell to other players, rent a stall at the player market, or create your own shops. We try to avoid handing out massive amounts of money so the economy actually has some value.

⚒️ Jobs & progression
Choose jobs based around how you already like playing Minecraft and work your way through our in-game ranks to unlock additional quality-of-life features.

🌲 Huge survival world
There’s plenty of room to disappear into the wilderness and start something of your own. We also don't plan on wiping everyone's builds just because a new season rolls around.

⚔️ Optional extra content
If vanilla survival starts getting a little repetitive, we have custom mobs, bosses, dungeons, quests, fishing competitions, skills, Battle Pass challenges, crates earned through gameplay, and other things to work toward.

🛒 No pay-to-win requirement
You don't have to buy anything to progress. Our normal in-game ranks are earned by playing, and the server is completely free to join.

🧑 Community focused
A lot of our players are adults, and we're aiming for a more relaxed Towny community where you can play after work, build for a few hours, grind when you feel like it, and not worry about treating Minecraft like a second job.

Server IP: play.townifymc.xyz

Version: Java 1.21.11

If you've been looking for a Towny server you can actually stick around on for a while, come give Townify a try.

Tired of the same old SkyBlock experience?

SlayBlock puts a completely different spin on SkyBlock. Instead of breaking blocks for hours to progress, your main progression comes from slaying mobs.

Start with your small island, defeat mobs, earn rewards, upgrade your generators, and work your way toward becoming one of the strongest players on the server.

🩸 SLAY MOBS

Fight custom mob generators and earn valuable rewards from every kill. The stronger the mobs, the better the rewards.

💰 BUILD YOUR WEALTH

Earn money by slaying mobs, then spend it on upgrades, items, and everything you need to grow your island.

⬆️ UPGRADE YOUR ISLAND

Progress through increasingly powerful mob generators and unlock new opportunities as you become stronger.

💎 FIND RARE LOOT

Mobs can drop valuable resources and rare items. Keep slaying — you never know what your next kill might give you.

🏝️ BUILD YOUR ISLAND

Turn your tiny starting island into your own floating empire. Build, expand, decorate, and show off your progress.

🏆 COMPETE

Climb the leaderboards, become one of the richest players, get the most mob kills, and prove that you're the ultimate SlayBlock player.

Hey guys, season 2 of the pen has been a blast. We have a super active and friendly community, known among all prison servers as having the kindest of players. We are LGBTQIA+ friendly, no trolls, no hackers, thanks to our active staff! And we are on the way to releasing Season 3!

Season 2 has all the features you like, A-H ranks, Parolee, Citizen, followed by 50 prestiges. The grind to the top can take over a thousand hours, so this is something to come on and mindlessly grind away whilst chatting to a very fun and active community.

We are pretty small at the moment, averaging between 10-20 players, however most people are waiting for season 3. For reference, In december we averaged around 50-70.

Season 3 is coded almost completely in house, no AI, just straight determination and code!

We have custom drugs, such as weed, coke, shrooms, acid, Quaaludes, and even moonshine you can farm, and process as passive income whilst you grind in the mines!

We have two currencies in Season 3, one for progressing / ranking up, and another for player eco (think auction house, player shops, coinflips, fight betting etc.). Drugs are used to make money for player eco, and to make money to rank up you can do the following:

Mining, Fishing, Cookies (custom plugin), Sewers (including sewer bosses!)

I've been playing prison servers since 2011, so for Season 3 I made sure we redesigned everything, from the entire prison design, all the way down to how the game works itself.

For example, In season 3, XP works completely differently. 1 level = 1 minute of 'active' grind! We even have Gangs and a Gang Market, which let's you invest your XP into gangs every week to see which gang can grind the most! The gang you invest in wins? Great! Enjoy up to 125% of your XP back! Did your gang win? Great! Enjoy a % of all the XP that was invested into your gang! Use your XP to buy crate keys and other perks / bonuses!

These features sound cool, but is it still classic? Of course! Vanilla tools, skill tree's to upgrade (no more crate RNG) Eff 5 is max! There's 50 prestiges, and even 5 rebirths (With a special rebirth upgrade tree, which has powerful upgrades!)

We wanted Season 3 to not only bring you back to classic prison, but make sure you stay longer than two weeks. The grind is lengthy, coming in at around 750 hours for the total 5 rebirth grind, however all 50 prestiges are obtainable for the average player! So we cater to both the mega grinders and the average joe.

We have already banned most of the notorious hackers and trolls from other prison servers, so rest assured you can come on here after a long day at work or maybe you've just woken up and want to sip some coffee and mine, all without the stress and annoyance that other classic prison servers have.

Everyone says the same thing about The Pen, there's really no other place like it. The community is second to none, and if that sounds like something you want to be apart of, we'll see you now or within the next month or so in Season 3!

Thanks guys <3

VanillaSMP was established for players seeking a true vanilla experience. Running on the minecraft-server.jar with no datapacks or plugins, unlike 95% of servers that claim to be real vanilla.

There is no fancy confusing spawn or 100 anecdotes you have to read. Be warned, players are expected to sort out their own social issues. Play how you want to play, build what you want to build. Technical minecrafters welcome.

Most players are better suited to semi-vanilla servers and we encourage you to check them out, but if you're looking for Real Vanilla with all it's quirks and challenges, VanillaSMP is one of a kind.

Hello! I’m Nat and I’m hosting a modded Minecraft server and looking for some new people to be friends and play with! Right now it’s just me and my boyfriend and we started the world last month, so early progression so far.

Here’s some of the key mods I have installed ;
Minecolonies
Dragnlivestock
Twilight forest
Various dungeon mods
Touhou little maid
Create
A lot of farm/food mods
Cobblemon
Various dimension mods
Custom item textures
Decoration mods

And plently more.

That being said, this is a mod pack with 300+ mods. You need a pretty good pc with enough ram to run the mod pack.

Another thing is- you will have to be able to voice call and share your screen through the downloading process. My computer is different from yours, and I find it easier to help you download it like that!

Every server I checked had the same problem, either it's dead in a month, or the shop sells straight power and grinding feels pointless. DripleafMC is our attempt at neither.

No purchase gives combat power, economy advantage, or a shortcut past the grind. Everything worth having — playtime ranks, Rebirth prestige tiers, the server shop itself is earned through actually playing. The server shop is even locked until Rebirth 2, so the whole economy runs on player-run chest shops before that, not a menu you buy your way past.

What's actually in it:
- Playtime ranks (Scout → Elite → Legend) that unlock real QoL, not cosmetics dressed up as progression
- A Rebirth system — reset your economy progress for permanent sell multipliers, exclusive pets, and so much more, so there's always a next goal
- mcMMO skill grinding stacked on top of both
- Jobs, quests, voting rewards, and a player-driven chest shop economy

Java and Bedrock both welcome!

Hello . I want to start a new server but i don't like vanilla and i want to play modpacks that's pretty fun and contain a lot of things to do .

Can u suggest me with any ?

One life. One mistake. One week banned(will eventually be perma, in a few weeks)

Cheating and excessive hate speech = ban. That's about it.

Build. Raid. Steal. PvP. Make friends. Make enemies.
Play how you want — just don't cheat.

How do other admins here handle staff applications? On the networks I've helped run, it was always Google Forms. Clean, but you manually copy Discord tags and grant roles yourself. Or a ticket bot, which works but turns your server into a graveyard of 30 stale application channels with no way to track who applied when.

Got tired of dealing with that, so my dev and I built Lumina to solve it for Minecraft/Discord communities. Applicants log in with Discord so you know it's actually them, and when staff approves someone on the dashboard, it auto-assigns their Discord role and DMs them the decision. Basically trying to kill the "20 open tabs to manage one staff round" problem.

It's at appslumina.com if anyone wants to poke around; free tier for smaller servers and really anyone.

What does your staff app pipeline look like right now, and what's the one thing that makes it painful?

I'm creating a Minecraft SMP,

I want to make it a Civilization type thing, with nations and kingdoms and all that stuff. I'm new to this and don't have over 50+ friends.

And as the server progresses, I want to make movie/episodes for Youtube, kinda like Ish's 100 player civilization

The world is a large survival world where players can establish their own civilizations, like cities and nations.

There won't be a pre-written script telling you exactly what to do,  you do what you want to do, and if you want to join but don't want to be involved in the story it's fine.

You could:

Build a kingdom, betray your friends, live peacefully alone, and do basically whatever you want.

This server is going to be whitelisted.

Requirements:

• Minecraft Java Edition 26.2
• Has Voice Chat mod installed (optional)
• From age 14-18
• Has Discord

We're aiming for around 10–50 players.
