Mainland SMP is a rapidly growing Minecraft server located in the United States, specifically designed to provide a gameplay experience that is as close to the vanilla version of Minecraft as possible. The server embraces a simple and basic structure, which attracts players who enjoy the original features of the game without extensive modifications. With an active community, players have the opportunity to join various teams, fostering collaboration and interaction as they progress through the game.
The server maintains a strict limit on the use of plugins to preserve the vanilla feel, allowing only essential functions to enhance gameplay. The plugins implemented include basic features such as teleportation commands (/home, /tpa), alongside team functionalities and random teleportation (RTP). This restricted use of plugins is intentional, as the server aims to keep the focus on the core Minecraft experience while still providing useful tools for players.
