The server uses the Simple Voice Chat mod and installs an official resource pack on join; a pre‑made client modpack is provided for convenience. The network is whitelisted and intended for 18+ players.

🤙 Tip from a friend

I stick around for the focused community and the HardcorePlus twist—if you like careful builds and meaningful risk, this is worth a shot. Join the Discord to apply and meet players — give it a try!
