Emberwood is a new semi-vanilla survival community built for players who value collaboration, common sense, and respect. We’re aiming to create a comfortable place for like-minded adults to settle in, explore, and build together.

Our world is a custom-generated 15,000 by 15,000 map designed to keep a vanilla feel while adding distinctive regions to discover. Whether you want to make a home in the Amethyst Forest, cross the Scarlet Mountains, or explore the Volcanic Peaks, there’s room to carve out your own corner of the world.

We welcome player-driven lore for continents and communities. Roleplay and world-building are optional, but encouraged as a way to give your builds and adventures more meaning.

To support social play, we encourage in-game proximity chat alongside an active Discord community. We also run a curated set of datapacks that enhance quality of life and creativity, including multiplayer sleep, custom Nether portals, player head drops, and custom achievements.

Emberwood opens May 23rd, 2026 at 12:00pm EST.
