FroobWorld Semi-Vanilla Minecraft Server

FroobWorld Semi-Vanilla has been hosting a persistent survival world since 2011, making it one of the longer-running small SMP communities still active today. The server deliberately preserves the old-school feel of early Minecraft multiplayer — no flashy minigames, no pay-to-win mechanics, no vote incentives. Just straightforward survival with a handful of quality-of-life plugins layered on top of a vanilla foundation.

🛡️ Core Philosophy

The rules are simple and strictly enforced: no griefing, no stealing, no cheating. Chat is kept at PG-13 levels, which keeps the environment welcoming without heavy-handed moderation. The staff team prioritizes long-term world integrity over short-term hype, and the map has been maintained across many years of gameplay rather than being reset on a seasonal cycle.

🔧 Semi-Vanilla Features

• Land claiming — claim as much territory as you need (within reason) to protect your builds from interference
• Lockette-style chest locking — secure your storage so only you can access it
• Teleportation suite — /rtp for random exploration, /home, /spawn, /tpa, and /back for convenient travel
• 16 view distance — extended render range for appreciating large builds and landscapes
• Long-term maps — the world persists, so your builds and progress carry real permanence
• No donations or vote rewards — the server is run for the love of the game, not profit

If you miss the era when Minecraft servers were small, community-driven, and focused purely on building and surviving together, FroobWorld is built for exactly that kind of player.
