LappiSMP icon
#242
Finland

Welcome to LappiSMP! A semi-vanilla Minecraft server supporting versions 1. 21. 11 and above. LappiSMP is built around freedom, progression, and a survival experience that still feels similar to true vanilla, while adding quality-of-life changes to keep things smooth and enjoyable. We offer useful features like a home system, TPA, veinminer for ores, and tree chopping that only works on natural trees, along with many small tweaks that improve gameplay without changing the core feel. The world runs on vanilla world generation with only structure overhauls. Survival is meant to be more challenging. Mobs are stronger than in vanilla, and villager trades have been rebalanced in a way that encourages travel instead of staying in one place, pushing players to explore more of the world to progress. Rules are minimal: no hacking and no duping. Beyond that, it’s up to you. Build, fight, explore, team up, or go solo in a world where your choices matter. We have support for both bedrock and cracked players. The server runs 24/7 with only short restarts for maintenance. Join LappiSMP and create your own path in a world built for freedom and discovery.
