The server is now testing out greylist, meaning there is no whitelist, however, new players are set in adventure mode and are allowed to explore freely. They also have the option of playing by applying in discord.
We aim to provide a stable, 24/7 server that upholds the values of vanilla while preserving the hard work put in by those who decide to participate. Created with the values in mind and the motivation provided from those who servers falsely advertised vanilla but rather had folders filled to the brim with plugins. We believe in providing the classic Minecraft SMP experience as the game was intended to be played, meaning no gameplay-modifying plugins, no creative mode usage by any staff whatsoever, and no world resets.
The Community
One of the key things setting The Vanilla Touch apart from other survival servers is the active, friendly, and tight-knit community, as well as the unique etiquette, playstyle, and culture of our members. Each and every build on the server was made legitimately by fellow players, entirely in survival mode. If you’re a fan of SMP YouTube series such as Hermitcraft or Mindcrack, you may be interested in The Vanilla Touch.
Only a small fraction of the world has been explored, so there is plenty of land for you to claim as your own. Feel free to join one of the few settlements that already exist, go solo, or even build an entirely new town of your own! The possibilities are infinitely vast on The Vanilla Touch.
Applications
The Vanilla Touch is a greylist server, so you must apply via discord after taking a look around the world. Please do so by joining the Vanilla Touch Discord server linked below. Please mention your in-game username and leave a short explanation of why you are interested and what you have to bring to the server.
Or, feel free to apply via this post.

Why are you interested in joining?:
How will you benefit the server?:
Discord
Discord is our main use of communication when in and out of game, all announcements are posted there as well as general discussion for future projects. We also have hangout channels for when you're mining or working on something and of course a music bot to just sit back and relax. (https://discord.gg/tD7QbYZ)
When you are approved for greylist, you may join the server on version 1.15.2 using the IP:
45.35.70.131
Rules
Please keep in mind that The Vanilla Touch is not an anarchy server. While we aim to keep in line with our vanilla Minecraft philosophy as much as possible, we have a set of rules put in place to ensure that players do not infringe upon others’ right to enjoy the game. These are enforced by active moderators, and they are easy to follow:
Do not mess with other players’ projects.
No griefing or stealing of others items.
No disrespect or hates speech of any kind, although swearing is allowed.
No hacking, cheating, or any third party scripts of any kind.
No PVP unless both players give consent.
Duping or major glitches not disclosed are not tolerated.
There is a single plugin installed on the server, CoreProtect. This plugin does not interfere or intrude on normal play in any circumstance. Its purpose is to ensure that transactions are logged, griefed buildings are restored to their former glory, and those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
Updates
We fully intend on updating the server as Minecraft progresses, we are ready to update the map to 1.16 and are excited for future updates!
Below are some screenshots of just some of the things you can expect to see on the server.
The Vanilla Touch community is looking forward to seeing new faces, so please join if you’re looking for a fresh experience. See you on the server!
What interests you in our server?: I am looking for a vanilla experience, but I find that playing single player is causing me too many emotional quarrels from memories of playing Minecraft back in late alpha stage. I am looking to become apart of something bigger than myself, while never feeling pressured to be. I am looking for a nice community of like minded people, where I can come in and unwind after a long day of life.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I like to build, I was somewhat a redstoner back in the day (Although some of this new stuff is beyond my motivation to learn). I am a very caring, understanding individual who will always be there to lend an open ear to anyone. I can offer friendship, loyalty, and maybe most of all I can offer you genuine love and a feeling of being cared about.
Notes: If I am not accepted I understand, as I am not one who uses Discord or other forums of social media so I can understand if that may pose an issue. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and respond to my request to join this server.
Thank you.
Denied due to ill intentions on other servers, in our best interest we have to ask you to find another server where you will hopefully reform. Have a wonderful day.
What interests you in our server?: Vanilla, I love playing the game that mojang made, not the game with a few plugins here and there that change the way you play the game.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I love building and attempting to do redstone, I can bring a positive and enthusiastic presence to the server.
Timezone: GMT +0 (due to change as in process of moving to China)
What interests you in our server?: I want to join an authentic vanilla server and get back into the groove of minecraft after a hiatus for a few years.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I am a minecraft vet and have played since 2011, I have experience in building all manner of structures in all manner of styles and love to see what my imagination can conjure.
What interests you in our server?: I prefer vanilla servers over overly modded server and yours seems like a chill server that appreciates the basics.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I enjoy supporting others in builds or whatever they need, I tend to explore a lot so I can be a good resource gatherer or travelling companion.
What interests you in our server?: I see a prebuilt community, which means people will actually be on the server to play with! Most SMP's are dry and dead!
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I am the mob farm machine. Love making farms of all kinds! And am fairly good at building as well!
All of you have been accepted and sent information, welcome!
What interests you in our server?: The aspect of building cool structures and projects and working with other members to create awesome creations.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: Time and effort. I really like this game (ive been playing since 2011) and i love building. Im pretty decent at it i guess.
What interests you in our server?: It seems like a great way to meet new people and play some minecraft without the worry of your work getting messed with by other players.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I am a half way decent builder and i can make a few different red stone devices
What interests you in our server?: The builds in the pictures are quite inspiring, welcoming and promising. I've been looking around for a decent SMP server and found a couple which I am waiting on an application response but at this point its pretty much a first response type of deal.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I just love the multiplayer aspect, group projects, group events i.e ender dragon fight and so much more. I love giving others tours of my places and creations. It is just much more exciting than playing alone. I like to think of myself as an easy-going player.
Feel free to leave it brief, we'll get to knowing you in-game.
All of you have been accepted and DM'ed information!
What interests you in our server?: I am looking for a good community to join and stick around for a while as well as enjoy minecraft and having fun build with others.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I should be on pretty frequently and hope to meet new people and have fun with them. Happy to be part of a community.
What interests you in our server?: I enjoy the pure vanilla side of Minecraft. I've been playing on servers for a long time but they all start as vanilla and end up being modded in some way. The Vanilla Touch has had multiple seasons of pure vanilla which is right up my street.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I love getting involved in community projects, helping others and the general community vibes. I'm always willing to help anyone in need and will be online 4-5 times a week.
What interests you in our server?: This seems to be an active community with a whitelist, something ive been looking for for a while to no avail.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: Ive been playing minecraft since 2012, so Ive gained quite the technical and creative skills. Strong builder, strong with redstone.
All of you have been accepted, information has been DM'ed to you!
What interests you in our server?: SMP Vanilla - not the biggest fan of servers with a million plugins that I have no idea how to use and custom everything.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I'm good at building large-scale and automation.

What do you have to offer if accepted? I'm active and can build really well in a variety of styles, love talking and working with other people whether to help them or a community project.
What interests you in our server?: The vanilla experience. I want to find a community that is actually dedicated in playing the game and involving everyone. With Minecraft now being all about minigames and weird mod packs, nothing beats playing the game with a community just like we did right back when we all first started playing Minecraft.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: A very active player who is easy to get a long with and will put effort into getting to know the community and try and be involved as much as I can.
What interests you in our server?: The server I used to play on got shut down, and now that it is over and done, I am looking for a new server to hang out on and new people to talk to. Plus I really like building things so...
What do you have to offer if accepted?: Once I warm up to people I can be very communitive/talkative and can be a good part of the community.
What interests you in our server?: I found myself tired of servers using plugins for everything therefore taking away from simple joys such as mining simple tunnels and farming your riches. I want to be part of a server again that simply plays minecraft, which in my opinion is good enough.
What do you have to offer if accepted?: I only have limited time during the week due to my fatherly duties, but I'm a humble and helpful person who likes to build beautiful things in an endless virtual world
Both of you have been accepted, information has been sent to both of you!
What interests you in our server?: Being a part of a community, meeting others, having fun while trying not to getting incinerated by a creeper.
