Gates of Aevony is a Minecraft server located in the United States and currently running version 1.21.1. This small server is under active development, with the aim of enhancing existing features while also introducing new content. A significant number of the plugins used on the server are custom-made by the development team, which reflects their commitment to delivering a unique experience. The server offers three primary game modes for players to enjoy: Survival, Creative, and Skyblock, each designed to cater to different playing styles and preferences.
The Skyblock mode aims to create a unique experience that retains a vanilla feel while avoiding the usual clichés associated with similar game types. Developers are working on expanding this mode with new elements, including monster islands featuring custom enemies and various challenges. In the Creative mode, the server prioritizes the creative expression of players, providing useful tools such as world edit and specialized items that maintain performance integrity while preventing lag. Lastly, the Survival mode incorporates a claiming system to protect player builds while allowing PvP outside of claims. It also includes the crafting of custom items to enrich the survival experience beyond traditional gameplay.
