🏰 About The Canopy
The Canopy is a community-focused, semi‑vanilla Java SMP that aims for a mostly‑vanilla feel while adding quality‑of‑life features. The server presents a relaxed, cooperative atmosphere and describes itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. New players can explore on a greylist before applying to join the full whitelist.
🎮 Gameplay
Play centers on survival and collaborative builds rather than competitive PvP. Players use a staff‑managed land‑claim system to secure bases, take part in periodic community events, and follow a set of spawn/nether rules designed to reduce lag and keep builds tidy. The server adds curated features like custom advancements to guide goals without changing core survival mechanics.
⚔️ Game Modes
🪓 Survival
A semi‑vanilla survival world with land claims, a shopping district, and community projects. Claims are processed by staff and there are rules for inactivity and claim spacing to keep the map fair.
🎨 Creative
A separate creative server exists for builders who want a permissioned space to experiment and construct without survival constraints.
✨ Features
- Player land‑claim system (staff‑reviewed claims, 100‑block standard radius).
- Dynmap for viewing builds and planning claims.
- Custom advancements to add optional goals and milestones.
- Periodic community events and a shopping/market district.
- Donor perks and a shop/location bot to help with the in‑game economy and navigation.
- Dedicated Java server hardware for stable play.
💰 Economy and Progression
There is an in‑game market and a dedicated shopping district where players buy and trade. The server uses a shop/location bot to help find stores; donor support provides optional perks and community recognition.
🛡️ Community and Rules
Key rules include respectful behavior, no griefing or stealing, and no game‑changing client mods (x‑ray, cavefinders, etc.). Specific spawn and nether build rules apply, and the server uses a whitelist process for full membership.
🧭 Who Should Play Here
Players who enjoy cooperative, semi‑vanilla survival play, community building, and occasional events. Good for builders, town/tunnel project participants, and anyone who prefers a moderated, social SMP over competitive or anarchy servers.
🔌 Connection Notes
This is a Java edition server with a whitelist/greylist. The whitelist includes an application step (the rules note the final whitelist answer is penguin) and staff manage land claims via Discord channels.
