Shirecraft — Vanilla+ Survival (26.2 Paper)

Lightweight vanilla 26.2 server (Paper) with curated plugins, custom-built systems, and a strong focus on quality-of-life improvements. We use a mix of paid plugins like compressy, Lands, offerings, plus a selection of “must‑have” utilities and a large suite of datapacks such as faster paths, desire lines, geophilic, explorify, furnicraft, crop & kettle, graves, and more.

Note: The Infinite Fishing plugin has been removed due to consistent defects and the inability to craft its own fishing rods without an additional custom plugin. It has now been replaced with the Fishing Frontier datapack, which provides a stable, progression-based fishing overhaul with custom enchantments, biome-specific loot, and an advancement-driven tutorial system.
Fishing Frontier: /datapacks/fishing-frontier

Lands provides a full land‑claim, protection, and nation‑building system designed for modern survival servers. It replaces old shovel‑based claim plugins with a polished, GUI‑driven, MMO‑style territory system that gives players real control over their builds, communities, taxes, and wars.

With Offerings and the Shirecraft Menus plugin, players get a personal hub GUI for fast access to common actions and server features.
