VanillaSMP was established for players seeking a true vanilla experience. Running on the minecraft-server.jar with no datapacks or plugins, unlike 95% of servers that claim to be real vanilla.

There is no fancy confusing spawn or 100 anecdotes you have to read. Be warned, players are expected to sort out their own social issues. Play how you want to play, build what you want to build. Technical minecrafters welcome.

Most players are better suited to semi-vanilla servers and we encourage you to check them out, but if you're looking for Real Vanilla with all it's quirks and challenges, VanillaSMP is one of a kind.
