INTRODUCTION:
Simplify is a new kind of modpack for Minecraft that intends to subtly enhance the vanilla experience and blend in with the game, not override it. This means every mod in the pack will add content/tweaks that are interesting but won't break the balance of the base game. Whether you're surviving the night, brewing beer, or exploring new biomes and dungeons, you'll always feel at home in Simplify. For more info on the modpack itself look >here.
The official server for Simplify features Towny and Grief Prevention for both co-operative and solo play. PVP is enabled but the general attitude of the server is not to be ultra competitive. Enjoy the vanilla like experience while tinkering around with cool content and a bit of roleplay, just enjoy the Simplify modpack the way it was meant to be with friends new and old!
Why Simplify Official and not some other server? Simplify Official is built to integrate with the modpack as well as possible, we have some of the best server hardware in the industry, and dedicated and loyal staff members that are committed to providing the best possible experience to players. Put simply (see what I did there?), Simplify Official is run by people who care and is the server for you if you want to enjoy the unique Simplify experience to the fullest extent.
