NearVanilla is an 18 and over survival multiplayer Minecraft server based in France, designed to provide a community-driven gaming experience. This server focuses on maintaining the authenticity of vanilla Minecraft while improving certain aspects to enhance gameplay. To ensure a smooth experience for players, only a few essential plugins are used, which are mainly focused on grief prevention, server administration, and overall enhancement of the vanilla multiplayer environment. The server is supported by a dedicated Discord community and a team of administrators who are committed to ensuring a positive experience for all players.
The game is set to a challenging hard difficulty level, with player versus player (PVP) combat enabled, but it is strictly consensual, promoting cooperation rather than conflict among players. This means that teamwork is crucial for survival, especially when dealing with hostile mobs like zombies. Players are encouraged to form friendships to better navigate the challenges of the game.
