PhoenixCraft is an innovative SMP (Survival Multiplayer) server set in the popular game Minecraft, specifically version 1.20.1, and located in the United States. This server stands out due to its semi-vanilla experience, which means it offers a mix of the standard gameplay while incorporating some modified elements. The core philosophy of PhoenixCraft revolves around community involvement; every aspect of the server is subjected to the community's votes. Players have a say in matters such as community-run events, as well as the selection of plugins and datapacks, ensuring that the server truly reflects the desires and preferences of its members.
Currently, PhoenixCraft operates as a whitelisted server, which means that players need to obtain approval before joining. This system is designed to foster a close-knit community where everyone is welcome to participate. Interested players can apply for the whitelist by joining the server's Discord channel, where they can engage with existing players and become part of the vibrant community. PhoenixCraft emphasizes that it is not just a server listening to its players; it is a community formed by those players, highlighting a collaborative spirit that allows the server to rise and thrive together.
