The ultimate Vanilla server
Dominion is a community of like-minded adult players who want to experience vanilla Minecraft without the limitations of land claiming or over-the-top additions such as skills, abilities, RPG elements, and more. With a heavy focus on community and player interaction, we are the closest server for anybody seeking a true "hermitcraft-like" experience.

Community Principles
A Vanilla Experience
Dominion is committed to preserving the vanilla Minecraft experience. We will never add any any plugins, datapacks, or otherwise which fundamentally make the game easier, harder, or different than vanilla. You will never see plugins such as mcMMO, Jobs, NPC's and similar on our server.
In addition, while Dominion does provide a Donator rank, this is purely for players who wish to give back and help fund the server. Donators do not and will not ever receive any benefits beyond a shiny yellow name.
Transparency
We believe that it is each player's right to know exactly how much money is raised though donations and how it is spent. In the spirit of this transparency, we release monthly updates on all expenses and donations.
We are also completely open about any community issues that may arise such as dismissal of staff, banning of influential players, and integrity changes to how the server functions. During these times, we allow for open discussion and provide insight into any decision making.
Community Voice
We pride ourselves on listening to our community. We welcome comments, critique, and honest opinions. Through that openness, we are able to continuously improve our server and community because of your feedback.
For all major changes or addition to our server, be it a new plugin, settings changes etc., we run a poll where every member of the community gets to cast a vote. Polled content/changes only take effect if the community votes at a majority 75% approval rating.
Playing Together
We founded Dominion on this major principle: Create a space for players to play together, not just be strangers in the same world. To help foster our close community, we run weekly events ranging from one off quick PVP maps to massive large scale build-athons.
For those who prefer more long-term collaboration, we have a dedicated space in our Discord for larger player ran projects such as modern city districts, gaming districts, special mega-farms, and more.
New Content Now
When a new update drops, it can be frustrating to wait for your favorite server to update so that you can enjoy all of the new and exciting content. We purposely run a lightweight, almost-vanilla server so that we can give you that new content as soon as physically possible!
Exceptional Builds, Exceptional people

Our world was started in September 2019 with the 1.14 update. That makes our world almost 4 years old. Don’t worry though. We have expanded our borders many times since then and there is still plenty of world for new players to settle in to and explore.
Dominion started in 1.14 with a 20,000 block by 20,000 block world border. We have since expanded 3 additional times, for the 1.18, 1.19, and 1.20 updates respectively. Because of these expansions, our current world is now 40,000 blocks by 40,000 blocks wide.
Yes. Unfortunately even with all the modern tools at our disposal, we still have to make a few concessions in order to ensure a server can support ~30 concurrent players. Having said that, we have been meticulous in ensuring that any changes made are minor and well documented. For those more technical players, you can find our exact server config files in our Handbook under “Server Settings”.
Yes, and it is probably our community’s most prized asset. We have maintained an active, healthy in-game economy purely through vanilla means for almost 4 years now. Any player is welcome to open a new shop, and you can find out more information via our Handbook under the “How To Own A Shop” page.
