I started CoreMC (formerly “Cat Land”) about 2 years ago because I wanted a simple, no nonsense Minecraft community where anyone is welcome from highly technical people to elaborate builders to casual players.
**Actually Vanilla**
The server runs the stock vanilla .jar, for better or worse. There are no datapacks, with the exception of a simple grief logging one ( [More info](https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/vanillog-100-vanilla-grief-logging/) ). All the gamerules are set to default values, and pretty much anything you can do in vanilla is allowed.
**Rules**
The in-game rules are pretty straightforward and basically boil down to respect each other and the server.
– NO PVP/GRIEFING. Only exception is if all parties want to and agree beforehand.
– Anything possible in vanilla Minecraft is allowed here, except item dupe glitches. Don’t do those.
– Don’t build anything that will cause excessive lag (keep in mind this is a vanilla JAR, so some optimizations and stuff that are present in paper/spigot/etc. aren’t present here). You won’t really be punished for this unless you’re intentionally making lag machines or refuse to listen if you’re asked to scale back.
– Racism/Sexism/Homophobia/Transphobia/harassment of any kind is absolutely not allowed.
– Don’t ask for free stuff, or beg other players.
– Hacking (xray, flyhacks, etc..) is 100% not allowed. Simple mods like Optifine are fine. If you’re wondering if a client side mod is fine or not, please ask first.
– Alt accounts are allowed as long as you’re not using them to break the rules. If you have any you want to use let me know and I’ll whitelist them.

**A bit more info**
– server address is play.core-mc.net
– The server has a Ryzen 5 3550H and 32GB of RAM (20 allocated to Minecraft) located in the Eastern United States. It’s literally a broken gaming laptop I got for free, though all that’s broken on it is cosmetic stuff.
– To be completely honest with you, it’s not very active which is why I’m trying to recruit more players. Turns out retaining people is kinda hard, and the lack of what most people would call “Quality of life” improvements doesn’t make it easier. Fortunately the server doesn’t really cost me a meaningful amount, so even if it goes through periods of inactivity you can count on it still being online.
