Welcome to
NearVanilla
A Semi-Vanilla Minecraft Survival Server that puts
the community first.
What is Near Vanilla?
NearVanilla is a semi-vanilla Minecraft survival server designed to stay as close to the original experience as possible while still supporting a welcoming and active community. Our goal is to maintain the spirit of vanilla Minecraft while providing the stability, moderation and community that make long-term survival servers great. Players are free to create, collaborate and shape the world around them naturally. Whether you're building something ambitious, exploring the wilderness or simply enjoying the game at your own pace, NearVanilla is a place where players collaborate, build together and shape the world as a community.
The Community
NearVanilla thrives because of its community. Players regularly come together to share ideas and resources, collaborate on builds, create projects and host events together. With an active Discord, community discussions, and our thriving ecosystem of plugins and tools, there are always opportunities to connect, contribute, and build lasting friendships. Whether you're a solo adventurer or a group player, you'll find a welcoming atmosphere and a space where everyone's input is valued.
Our Plugins & Datapacks
NearVanilla runs a carefully curated set of plugins designed to enhance your experience without straying from the vanilla feel. Every addition serves a clear purpose — protection, community, and stability.
CoreProtect
A high-performance data logging and anti-griefing plugin. All player actions are logged and can be viewed and rolled back by our Staff Team.
LuckPerms
Handling all player ranks, groups and fine-grained permission nodes across our server. This is used to manage player permissions and roles.
DiscordSRV

One Player Sleep
No more waiting until everyone is asleep. Sleeping in a bed now fast-forwards the night until sunrise.
