Homestead is a semi-vanilla Minecraft server running on version 1.21.4, based in the United States. It offers players a true Minecraft experience where they can join friends or meet new players while enjoying the game. The server ensures the safety of players' creations with its anti-grief plugins, which protect against griefing and theft of items such as chests and furnaces. Player versus Player combat is disabled across the server, except in designated arenas, allowing for a peaceful gameplay environment. Players can engage with the server's economy by buying and selling items, create or join towns, or play solo as they choose on this community-driven survival server.
Homestead provides a ranking system that enhances the experience without disrupting the overall gameplay. Players can progress through the ranks from Novice to Emerald, showcasing their loyalty and dedication to the server. The community aspect of Homestead is vibrant, with an active Discord server that fosters discussions, both in text and voice chat, and hosts holiday events for all players. The staff members on the server are carefully selected for their experience and maturity, ensuring a knowledgeable support system for all members. With continuous updates, the server boasts a new map since July 1st, 2022, inviting players to explore and enjoy a refreshingly unexplored environment.
