A vanilla survival Minecraft server for adults who value creativity, community, and adventure.
What makes Nightshade SMP special
NightshadeSMP is a pure vanilla Minecraft server with a focus on relaxed, collaborative gameplay. We're a small, welcoming community that enjoys Minecraft the way it was meant to be played—no pay-to-win, no unnecessary plugins, just a respectful space to build, explore, and have fun together.
A mature, inclusive environment where players can enjoy Minecraft without drama or toxicity.
No plugins or mods that alter core gameplay - just Minecraft as it was meant to be played.
Similar to HermitCraft, our world evolves naturally with seasons resetting only when the community decides.
At the end of each season, the world is available for download so your builds and memories are preserved forever.
Anyone can use /ledger i to view block history and check interactions, ensuring nothing is griefed or stolen. Griefing can be rolledback fast by staff.
An optional mod that allows voice chat with nearby players, creating more immersive and natural in-game interactions.
