About The Tavern

The Tavern is a community-driven, chill vanilla SMP where you can truly feel like you belong. We're almost pure-vanilla to stay true to the original Minecraft experience—any modifications are only made based on community requests and approval.

Our community is friendly and supportive, with players from all around the world. Whether you're building epic bases, exploring, or just wandering and chilling with others—Minecraft is a sandbox game and we encourage you to enjoy yourself doing the things you love. We share resources, help each other out, and maintain a balanced ecosystem through trades and our player-run shopping district.

Server Rules

Keep The Tavern a welcoming place for all

1

No Excessive Profanity or Offensive Jokes

Jokes are fine within context, but excessive behavior causing discomfort to other players is a violation. Staff will review on a case-by-case basis.

2

No Griefing or Unpermitted Structures

Don't damage or destroy player-made structures. No building within 150 blocks of an existing active base without permission.

3

No Cheating, Exploits, or Hacks

X-Ray, hacks, or unfair client-side mods are prohibited. Only approved mods and exploits are allowed—check Discord for the full list.

4

Use Common Sense

These rules can't cover everything. We expect maturity, respect, and common sense from all players. If it feels wrong, don't do it.

Violations may result in warnings or more severe actions for repeat offenses. As a community-driven server, players have input on decisions, but staff hold final say.
