Minetown is a Minecraft server located in Canada, currently running version 1.21.4, that prides itself on creating a welcoming and community-focused environment for players. Unlike many servers that employ a Pay to Win model, Minetown emphasizes a natural survival and economic gameplay experience. Established in 2010, it is one of the oldest Minecraft servers available and caters to both Java and Bedrock players. The server offers a variety of game modes, including Survival/Economy, Skyblock, and Creative, while also organizing events like UHC and minigames that come with in-game and cosmetic rewards.
The server has recently launched its new main map called Idarun, designed to enhance the long-term survival and economic facets of gameplay. Idarun boasts features such as claim protections, player-run shops, and a casual atmosphere free from raiding or griefing, allowing players to enjoy a more relaxed gaming experience. The economy relies on shops owned by players who can set their own prices, ensuring a fair chance for everyone to thrive. For those interested in creativity, Minetown also offers multiple building options, such as Freebuild and a Plot world that includes WorldEdit access, catering to all styles of creative expression.
