Talk:Vanilla

This term needs to be defined somewhere! There is a lot of friction in the community because of disagreement about what Vanilla means.

In almost all other software, Vanilla is the 'Out of the box', plainest and purist version of a game or application. Therefore a minecraft server or client that is described as vanilla, should be unmodded, and without plugins or added custom software. A Minecraft Realm would be a good example of vanilla minecraft, whereas a bukkit server would not.

Yet, most servers that claim to be vanilla (as opposed to semi-vanilla) has either some form of area protection or teleportation commands that spoil the game for players who are interested in pure vanilla gameplay. And Update means change something modern to make Minecraft look realistic instead mods.
