Purity Vanilla

Purity Vanilla is a vanilla-anarchy server founded on March 23rd, 2019 by Penguin, who currently runs the server. The server is unique in that despite being considered an anarchy server, use of hacks, exploits, and lag machines are not allowed.

History
The owner of Purity Vanilla, Penguin, decided on March 23rd, 2019, to make a server. Based on the ideas of a server similar to those larger at the time, Penguin decided to have an Anarchy Server with a far more Vanilla appeal. His choice to exclude hacking, exploits, and Lag Machines made the server a bit more unique than it's fellow Anarchy servers.

Soon, the server grew in popularity, boasting a 40 player limit, which was filled half the time. According to the server website, the server reached over 10,000 unique players in just a few months.

The map's borders were locked at 250k blocks out from Spawn (making the entire playable area about 500k x 500k blocks). This was later extended to 500k blocks out, with the player limit being increased to 90.

On March 24, 2020, a queue was added due to the growing playerbase. After the influx due to the COVID-19 pandemic the server on average reached player counts of 60-80 players. This rose to 90-100 players by summer of 2021, when the server moved to new hardware and the playercap was set to 102, which was filled at peak hours. This was later lowered to around 95.

Vanilla
Exploits and any types of hacked clients are not allowed in accordance with the Rules. On top of this, any mods that effect gameplay (radar, minimaps with entity positions) are considered cheats and are banned.

To stand with the idea of Vanilla, purity has few commands vanilla doesn't have

The server is run by a small staff team, who enforce the rules.

Culture
The Culture of Purity Vanilla matches that of other anarchy servers; toxic.

Nazi symbols, racial slurs, and the ever-fun users who join just to spam are plentiful. Some of the best toxic and idiotic quotes have been saved as copypastas.

However, not all of the server is bad. There are many who join for other reasons; a nice vanilla server to head out into the wild and explore, A place to have some fun with friends, a place to meet new people, or a place to just enjoy the game.

Since there are no rules against doing so, much drama is started here. Bases are leaked, betrayal is somewhat common, and trust is void about half the time.

Ranks
Purity Vanilla uses ranks as rewards to donors, staff, and those who have registered. In order of importance, the ranks are Owner, Admin, Moderator, Trial Moderator, Ultimate, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Whites, and Greys.

In-game
These ranks give players priority in the queue (except for Silver), access to the donor-only Discord server, access to /nick, and access to chat formatting.
