JAMS is a Minecraft server running on version 1.20.6, designed to carve out a unique niche in the Minecraft community. Unlike anarchic servers, it offers an open-world vanilla experience that draws inspiration from Hermitcraft, but caters to players who may not yet be well-known. The server places a strong emphasis on community interaction through both the server and its accompanying Discord, making it easy for players to forge friendships, find base partners, and engage socially with each other. This approach fosters a friendly atmosphere that encourages collaborative play.
In terms of gameplay, JAMS strives to maintain a balance that allows for creativity without significant alterations through plugins. There are no teleportation options, player homes, skills systems, or out-of-game economies, ensuring that all players operate on a level playing field. Furthermore, staff members are expected to play fairly and not misuse their powers by spawning overpowered items. The server supports technical players, enabling them to create anything from large mob farms to efficient iron generators. Importantly, JAMS is fully compliant with Minecraft's EULA, steering clear of pay-to-win practices. While there is a Patreon offering perks, support does not grant any competitive advantage, preserving the integrity of the gameplay experience for all members.
