Welcome to Dekatater's Vanilla
Dekatater's Vanilla is a semi-vanilla Minecraft server that stays true to the original Minecraft experience while adding a few quality-of-community improvements. Our server focuses on building a friendly community and stress free experience where players can enjoy Minecraft in peace.
Vanilla Experience
We maintain the core Minecraft gameplay mechanics, ensuring that your experience remains authentic and true to the game's original design, but without the hours of absent-minded screen staring.
Seedling Community
As the server is young, we have a small but social community. Join us to grow the server!
Custom Plugins
We have custom plugins to tune things perfectly!
Dedicated Hardware
The server runs on dedicated self-hosted hardware to ensure minimal lag or connection issues. None of that hosting provider nonsense.
Creative Plots!
Some ideas need testing before they ruin things. 42x42 Creative mode plots lets you test and tweak consequence free!

Server Rules
To ensure a positive experience for all players, please follow these rules when playing on Dekatater's Vanilla:
- 1. Be Respectful Treat all players with respect. Harassment, discrimination, and excessive profanity are not tolerated. Keep it civil.
- 2. No Griefing/Raiding Destroying or altering other players' builds without permission is strictly prohibited and will result in a ban. We want to keep a stress free environment.
- 3. No Cheating or Exploits The use of hacked clients, X-ray texture packs, or any other modifications that provide an unfair advantage is not allowed. Utilities such as minimaps and fullbright are allowed, as well as performance mods
- 4. No Spam Excessive messaging, any advertising, or flooding the chat with irrelevant content is annoying. Don't do that.
-
5. Respect the Server
Avoid creating unnecessary lag by limiting redstone contraptions and mob farms to reasonable sizes.
Use Magnet Chests in place of Hopper Minecarts when possible.
Collect Sand and Gravel from Warp Sand and Warp Gravel. Please don't excavate beaches and deserts -
6. Build at a Reasonable Distance
Please build at least 500 blocks away from spawn and 400 blocks from other players' builds unless given explicit permission.
Every player should be able to expand their base in whichever direction they need without running into another claim. - 7. Don't get political A stress free environment cannot exist if politcal debates are going on. We can all poke fun at the stupid decisions our politicians make, but please keep any personal beliefs and arguments to yourself.

8. Report Issues
If you encounter any issues with other players or technical problems, please report them to Spekatater with /mail send Spekatater [message]
In this early period of the server we will likely find many bugs and exploits. Please report them, they are expected and you will not be punished.
Violation of these rules may result in warnings, temporary bans, or permanent bans depending on the severity and frequency of the offense, at the discretion of Dekatater

Getting Started Guide
New to the server? Here's how to get started:
Get accepted to join
Fill out the application and wait for an acceptance email (could take 24-48 hours if accepted). Once accepted, you will be added to the whitelist. This is temporary while we ensure balancing and security are solid.
Feel free to send your friends the application. Groups are welcome.
Connect to the Server
Launch Minecraft (Java Edition 1.21.4) and click on "Multiplayer". Add a new server with the address vanilla.dekatater.com and connect.
Read the Book
Once you join, take a moment to read the info book at spawn. You'll get the most important information there
Explore Spawn
Spawn features an admin marketplace, player's artworks, a public enchanting table and more. Take some time to explore before venturing out.
Find a Place to Build
Travel at least 500 blocks from spawn or use /rtp to find a suitable location for your base. Remember to respect existing builds and maintain appropriate distance.
Claim Your Land
Use the GriefPrevention plugin to protect your builds. Create a claim by using a wooden shovel to mark diagonal corners of your property.
Your first placed chest will also create a claim around it.
Set Your Home
Once you've established your base, set it as your home with the command /sethome so you can easily teleport back using /home.
