VanillaClouds

Survival progression comes from improving gear and bases, expanding protected territory, taking jobs, trading resources, building wealth, and developing clan infrastructure. The economy supports several routes forward, including mining, farming, hunting, player shops, auctions, server markets, and direct trades. Skyblock progression centers on expanding an island, completing quests, improving generators, and competing in island rankings. The current Survival update also uses daily tasks and a battle pass instead of the former daily-reward system.

Custom systems include pets with selectable roles, protected land, clan features, player warps, PlasmoVoice, Emotecraft, battle-pass progression, custom Anarchy mechanics, runes, and ore-based private blocks. The server also adds decorative tools such as configurable armor stands and maintains a ruleset for permitted client-side mods. Approved examples include optimization mods, JEI, Litematica with restrictions, MiniHUD, Replay Mod, Xaero’s maps, and HWYLA.

The main Survival world is persistent and was expanded to 30,000 by 30,000 blocks during the August 2026 update. Protected areas remain safe when unclaimed terrain is regenerated, and the End was expanded to 25,000 by 25,000 blocks. Server-run events now use a separate world, keeping temporary builds away from the long-term Survival map. Skyblock uses individual floating islands, while Anarchy has its own smaller custom-generated world.

PvP is allowed in the main Survival world rather than being restricted to special arenas, so travel, End trips, and valuable locations can carry real risk. Anarchy pushes that danger much further with open griefing, hidden bases, a custom world generator, ore-based private blocks, and runes. The network also runs separate high-stakes events such as UltraHardcore, where health regeneration is disabled and death removes a player from the match.

The server economy includes jobs, a general shop or exchange, player-run shops, auctions, direct trading, taxes on some auction sales, and in-game currency. Players can create warps that lead to their own stores, compare prices, and choose whether to earn money through work, gathering, production, or trade. The store also sells coins and claim points, while the main Survival community uses money to support shops, equipment, and territory expansion.

The network runs administrator-led and player-led events, anniversary activities, quizzes, building competitions, achievement races, clan competitions, and seasonal UltraHardcore tournaments. UltraHardcore has reached at least a third season, with one-life matches, shrinking borders, restricted alliances, and prizes. Event builds are now hosted in a separate world, and players can request space for their own activities through support.

VanillaClouds is primarily Russian-speaking, with community interaction centered on in-game chat, player-run warps and shops, clans, Telegram support, and a VK group. Player feedback commonly highlights helpful staff, approachable players, recurring events, and the ability to build long-term communities without a routine wipe.

The server prohibits cheats, exploitative clients, X-Ray, Fullbright, Freecam, Baritone, anti-AFK tools, clickers, and other software that provides an unfair advantage. Duplication is prohibited, and the network does not sell administrator permissions. PvP is generally allowed in Survival, but individual events and special areas can impose additional restrictions. Players can contact support about uncertain mods, bans, bugs, and rule disputes.

The official store sells ranks and statuses, titles, coins, claim points, battle-pass access, services, and other digital items. Prices range from low-cost entry ranks to higher-priced permanent statuses. The store also supports promotional discounts and purchasing a privilege for another player. Sales for Skyblock and Anarchy privileges can be paused independently of the Survival store.
