'''AVAS''' stands for '''Absolute Vanilla Anarchy Survival'''. It is an up-to-date Minecraft anarchy server whose main goal is to create a stable multiplayer Minecraft experience, while preserving vanilla gameplay as closely as possible. There are no rules against griefing, raiding, and killing others. You are allowed and encouraged to use hacked clients, duplication glitches, and other exploits. If it exists in the current release of the vanilla game, it will remain unpatched on AVAS to the best of the administrators' ability. Unlike most other Minecraft anarchy servers, AVAS allows nearly full use of movement hacks. The server is currently administered by [[D2k11|d2k11]] and [[69|xX_xxX6_9xx_Xx]].

Founded in June of 2020 by d2k11, the server started as an experimental offshoot of another pure vanilla anarchy server, the [https://www.truevanilla.org/ True Vanilla Experiment]. From the start, the ideology of the server has been the same;: keep it as vanilla as possible. This means allowing hacks normally patched on anarchy servers, like flight and high speed (like Timer). Early in the server's history, when the community was relatively small, allowing full movement hacks was not an issue for server stability. As the server has grown, however, certain measures have been instated to provide a good balance of server stability and hacked client accessibility. Since the founding of the server, there have been several iterations, with the creation of those iterations having a unique and different reason for its' creation. Each iteration can be marked with a map reset, as well as an update/rewrite of the server's proprietary plugin suite, that currently being protocol3 (p3).

protocol2, or p2, is the first rewrite of the proprietary plugin suite used on AVAS. It is also used interchangeably in reference to the 2nd map and the playerbase that used to inhabit it. p2 (the plugin) was a full rewrite of avas_patches, providing more functionality and a better framework to allow changes as they becomebecame necessary. The "p" also went from representing "patches" to "protocol", as it is generally known, because so much of the server now revolved around it.

During this time, xX_xxX6_9xx_Xx joined the administrative team to assist in the workload that running an anarchy server has. p2 (the map/era) was where AVAS started to see some legitimate growth. That being said, the server was still in its infancy, and the administration team was still getting its bearings. Simply through the administrationsadministration's lack of concern for server longevity, the economy of the server reached a point where 32k gear and other illegals were rampant. This was also when players had the infamous "donkey dupe", a dupe that was promoted to be working on the server. Unfortunately, by the time illegal items became out of control, server growth had peaked. At this point, the administration needed to step in, introducing the final reset and protocol3.
