About
What is Vanilla X?
Vanilla X is a semi-vanilla Minecraft survival server focused on Crystal PvP, built by GoldenEdit, the developer behind 500,000+ unique joins on previous projects. Java players connect at play.vanillax.net; Bedrock players use the same host on port 19132. Before the public opening in Summer 2026, the community is gathering on Discord for Founder access, closed beta weekends, early tournaments, and votes on combat tuning and world rules. Founders keep a permanent Founder role after launch, receive launch timing and join invite-only Crystal PvP battle royales through late May. At public launch the server opens for everyone and a dragon egg hunt follows 24 hours later. Join the Discord at discord.gg/vanillax and read the official rules on vanillax.net/rules.
