Yes, when the server is built well. The loop is travel management: choosing Overworld vs Nether legs, securing portals, rationing supplies, and deciding when to detour for repairs or safety. The multiplayer layer comes from cooperating on routes and waystations, or racing to extend the network first.

Some do, to preserve legacy terrain behavior. Many run modern versions and recreate the idea with custom generation, borders, or curated destinations. The important detail is whether the server is aiming for a faithful legacy look or a modern expedition endpoint.

Long hauls often lean on the Nether because it compresses distance and rewards community highway work. Late-game options like elytra may be common, limited, or banned depending on the server’s rules. Either way, sustained progress usually depends on a stable portal network and safe resupply points.

Plan for durability and recovery: efficient food, backup tools, a repair strategy, blocks for safe portals and bridges, beds, and a way to protect valuables (ender chest, shulkers, or both). Expect at least one mistake and build your kit around not losing weeks of progress to a single death.

Many restrict casual teleporting because it undermines the format, but may allow limited convenience to reduce burnout, like a controlled hub return or bounded homes. Claims are common around route-critical builds so highways and rest stops survive long enough to matter.
