Refined Vanilla is a true vanilla anarchy server with one clear rule: no hacked clients. Everything else is up to you, whether that means building, surviving, exploring, griefing, or tearing things down.

We run Fabric server-side to preserve authentic vanilla mechanics. Redstone, TNT, pistons, and timings behave the way Mojang intended, so technical builds and farms run on real vanilla tick behavior instead of altered timings.

To keep gameplay stable as the server population changes, we use a dynamic performance system that adjusts simulation distance, mobcaps, activation range, and render distance based on load.

Nether roof access is enabled. Chunk trailing is patched. Portal chunkloaders work, with the caveat that they unload on server restarts.
