TrueVanilla.org is a Minecraft server based in France that aims to explore the full capabilities of vanilla Minecraft gameplay. Currently running on version 1.18.1, it is unique in being a public and non-whitelisted server without an established community. Unlike many other servers, TrueVanilla does not utilize any gameplay-altering plugins, cosmetics, or optimizations, ensuring a pure and unmoderated gaming experience for players who wish to enjoy the game in its original form.
Initially, TrueVanilla operated without any modifications; however, issues arose quickly as players began exploiting packet-based movement hacks, which led to frequent server crashes and a significantly degraded gameplay experience. To address this, the server administrators have implemented a custom patch designed to mitigate the most egregious hacking practices, such as the timer hack. This approach reflects their commitment to maintaining the integrity of vanilla gameplay, rather than resorting to a comprehensive anti-cheat system, thereby allowing players to engage in a more authentic Minecraft experience.
