Welcome to V For Vanilla!

Welcome to V For Vanilla, a semi-anarchy survival server
aiming to provide gameplay as close to pure vanilla as possible.

Rules, restrictions and modifications are kept to a minimum
to ensure maximal freedom for all players
to play the game the way it was meant to be played.
There are no map resets, the world border is at the default of 30 Million blocks.
While technically not disallowed, the netherroof has void damage enabled
to encourage regular travel and exploration.

Hardware

The server is hosted in Finland.
Monthly upkeep is 64€.
We run on an Intel Core i7-8700 with 64GB of ram
and 2x6TB of disk space in raid I.

Server Rules

Do not use cheat or hacked clients.
Do not use 'vanilla' cheats like xray texture packs.
Do not abuse exploits, which affect the playability of the game for others.

Should you end up bedtrapped, you may connect to spawn.vforv.net to reset your bed spawn.

Do not attempt to lag the server.
Duplication exploits are not allowed, with the only exception of TNT duping.
Falling block, carpet or any other dupe are NOT allowed.
Do not excessively spam or advertise in chat.
Do not threaten or harass anyone over issues that go outside the server.
What happens on V, stays on V.
Do not dox or share personal information about anyone.
While not strictly forbidden, going on the nether roof afflicts void damage.¹

Failure to comply with these rules will result in a 3 month ban
on first offense, permanent on repeated offense.
Breaking rule 6 will result in a (temporary) mute.
Breaking rule 7 or 8 will result in a permanent ban.
¹ Rule 9 serves more as information than an actual rule,
and disregarding it is not punishable.

Discord Rules

Follow Discord Community Guidelines
Do not use slurs or discriminatory behaviour in any channels.
Do not spam the channels, unless specified otherwise in any given channel.
Do not dox or share personal information about anyone.

Failure to comply with these rules will result in a temporary mute.
Breaking rule 4 will result in a permanent ban.

Donate

Running a server is both costly and time intensive.
If you enjoy the server and would like to support it,
donating is always very appreciated.
All donations are used exclusively to cover hosting costs.
We currently accept donations via Ko-Fi and PayPal.

Rewards

Name Colors

Donators can choose a colored name both on the server and on discord
according to the table below. Donations are cumulative, meaning two 5€
donations will let you pick colors from both the 5€ and the 10€ tier.

100€	Black
50€	Dark Red Dark Purple Gold
20€	Dark Aqua Dark Blue Dark Green Dark Gray
10€	Green Blue Red
5€	Yellow Aqua Purple

MOTDs

Alternatively, for 5€, you may set a custom MOTD on the server.
Each time a player joins, a short welcome message and a random,
player chosen message is displayed.
A MOTD can be a maximum of 4 lines of 25 characters each and
either include the authors name in a fifth line, or be anonymous.
The MOTD displayed upon joining is randomly selected from a list of 8 MOTDs,
meaning each MOTD remains in the list until 8 further ones have been submitted.

Vote

Voting helps the server grow!
By voting on MCSL you help new people find the server.

Rewards

As a reward, for every 10 votes, you will be able to add
a colored name as well as custom lore to an item of your chosing.

By running the /lore command, you can see how many votes you have accumulated.
Below is an example of how you could use it:

/lore apply "&6Legendary Sword" "&cThis Sword was used to slay the &5Ender Dragon" "&cWhoever wields it is undefeatable!"
Using /lore apply you can add lore to the item currently in your hand.
Each line is surrounded by quotes. The first line will be the name of the item.
All following ones will each be one line of lore in the item description.
You can use Minecraft color codes with the & symbol.

/lore sign "&2Delicious Apples" "&aThese apples are incredibly delicious"
Using /lore sign instead will add your name to the end of the lore.
Unlike the rest of the lore, your name will not be italic, and thus
prove that you signed that item.

Color Codes

&0 - Black &1 - Dark Blue &2 - Dark Green &3 - Dark Aqua

&4 - Dark Red &5 - Dark Purple &6 - Gold &7 - Gray

&8 - Dark Gray &9 - Blue &a - Green &b - Aqua

&c - Red &d - Purple &e - Yellow &f - White
