VanillaSquad is a Minecraft server community built around fair, player-led survival. Operating since 2019, it aims to preserve the feel of vanilla Minecraft: players earn resources through play, travel through the world without teleport shortcuts, and build without private claims. Donations do not buy strength or gameplay advantages, while rules prohibit stealing, griefing, and cheating.

The server offers three worlds for different kinds of play. The building world is home to the spawn, player towns, homes, and collaborative projects. A separate farms world supports automation, redstone mechanisms, and resource gathering, while the arts world gives players space for pixel art and other visual creations. Players can explore an interactive map, trade in a living economy, join towns or clans, open shops, and take part in community events.

New players connect through the server address mc.vanillasquad.com and link their Minecraft account with Discord using an in-game code. VanillaSquad also provides server rules, FAQs, documentation, news, a ban list, and support resources to help players get started and stay informed.
