Vanilla++ Minecraft, actually difficult. 8-week cooperative journey with buffed bosses. 16+ | Whitelist required.
⚔️ THE GAUNTLET SMP | Season 1 Launching Soon Vanilla++ Minecraft. Actually Difficult. Actually Cooperative. Phenomenal Terrain. Whitelist Only (apply in Discord)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 WHAT IS THIS?
A vanilla++ 8-12 week survival journey where traditional Minecraft progression is overhauled for depth, difficulty, and multiplayer cooperation. There's no keep inventory, no teleports, no land claims—just you and the other members.
This isn't a forever server - it's a season with a story. We start together, we build together, we fight revamped bosses together, and we END together. Then we say goodbye and remember the journey.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏘️ HERMITCRAFT PHILOSOPHY

- Cooperation over competition
