English-speaking Minecraft Java Vanilla servers

NostalgiaCraft offers Java and Bedrock survival without an entry application, virtual currency or land claims. The /trade command supports item exchanges accepted by both participants. Theft and PvP are allowed in the wilderness but prohibited in community graylist zones. Searching for or raiding a base with a minimap installed is prohibited; a base found under those conditions cannot be raided. Chiseled bookshelves and lecterns cannot be looted, and killing or stealing other players’ villagers or animals is prohibited griefing. A licensed shop is obtained at auction, with monthly rent and approval through a Discord ticket before building.
