Survival Minecraft servers: frequently asked questions

What is a survival server?
A survival server plays Minecraft as intended: players start with nothing, gather materials and build while mobs and hunger are active. Plugins usually protect builds and add progression.
Is survival the same as vanilla?
No. Vanilla is unmodified Minecraft. Survival servers often add land claims, ranks, shops and anti-grief plugins while keeping survival gameplay.
Can I play survival with friends?
Yes. You can share a base or team up, and many servers support clans or parties. Some servers also run a separate whitelist for private groups.
What is an SMP?
SMP stands for Survival Multiplayer: a survival world shared by a group of players, usually with a smaller, community-focused player base.
