Why this server exists
The big 1PP vanilla servers are good. They are also full. If you play in European evening hours you already know the queue.
BZA Chernarus 1PP is the same game — untouched loot, untouched economy, untouched balance, first person only — on a box in Warsaw with 60 slots and no queue. If you have played vanilla anywhere else, you already know how this server works.
The one mod we wrote is deliberately cosmetic. BZA PaintMod is written by us, for this server: you paint rifles part by part — receiver, stock, handguard, magazine — along with almost all of the clothing and armour you wear, and you earn the patterns by playing. A few things are excluded on purpose: pistols, shotguns, low-tier civilian guns, optics, ghillie gear, fur headdresses and leather moccasins (the full list is here). It gives nobody an advantage in a fight, and it was built that way from the start.
Four small utility mods load alongside it — Community Framework, Autorun Upgraded, Ear Plugs and admin tooling. None of them touch loot, economy or balance; the full list is on the join page.
What “Vanilla+” means here
The word gets stretched, so here is exactly what it covers on this server.
| On this server | |
|---|---|
| Loot table | Vanilla. The only additions are the paint kits and paint cans, which are cosmetic items. |
| Economy & spawn rates | Vanilla. |
| Damage, stamina, health | Vanilla. Untouched. |
| View | First person only. No third-person server. |
| Traders | None. |
| Starter gear / kits | None. You spawn like everyone else. |
| Base building | Vanilla. |
| Other mods | Four utilities: Community Framework (a library), Autorun Upgraded (numpad + to auto-run, stamina drains as normal), Ear Plugs, and admin tooling. No loot or balance changes. |
| Bots | None. Every name on the player list is a person. |
| Anything for sale | Nothing. See below. |
Server spec
- Map
- Chernarus
- Perspective
- 1PP only
- Slots
- 60
- Location
- Warsaw, Poland
- Day speed
- ×6
- Night speed
- ×24
- Restarts
- Every 6 hours
- Wipes
- Every 6 weeks
- Restart times are 01:00, 07:00, 13:00 and 19:00 CEST. Town loot carries over across a restart; the central economy only tops up in a trickle. What does re-roll are the four paint caches, at 35% each.
- Nights are short but real. Day runs at six times real speed and night gets a further ×4 on top — ×24 after dark — so a summer night is over in roughly 20 minutes of play and a full day–night cycle takes about three hours. You will still need a torch or a headtorch.
- Ping. Warsaw covers Poland, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Ukraine, the Baltics and the Nordics comfortably; the UK, France and Italy are fine too.
- Wipes are announced in Discord in advance. A wipe clears characters, bases and PaintMod progression. The founder colour is the one thing that carries over.
Rules
In Discord
- Respect everyone. No insults, toxicity or drama.
- No spam, advertising or NSFW content.
- Questions go to
#questions, bugs go to#bug-reports.
On the game server
- Cheats, dupes and bug exploits = permanent ban.
- Stream sniping and ghosting are forbidden.
- Combat logging — disconnecting during a fight — is punishable.
- Abuse in the in-game chat = mute or ban.
What admins do not do: restore lost loot, and interfere
in PvP. Both of those are the game. Admin decisions are final; appeals go
to #questions in Discord.
Money
Nothing on this server is for sale. There is no shop, no donor perk, no priority queue and no paid colour. Every paint kit, can, pattern and camo scheme a player can obtain is found in loot, on the same terms for everyone — the full list is here. The one exception is the founder colour, and that is earned by five players rather than bought by anyone.
If that ever changes, it will be announced in Discord before it happens, and it will stay inside Bohemia's server monetisation rules — which is to say cosmetic and non-advantageous, exactly like the mod already is. The full programme — what would go on sale after Bohemia approval, and what never will — is written out on the monetisation page.
The mod
BZA PaintMod is public on the Steam Workshop, so anyone can subscribe and load it. The half that validates and applies paint is private and runs only here — which is why painting works on this server and nowhere else.

Getting in touch
Discord is the only channel that matters — announcements, wipe dates, bug reports, promo codes, the founder-race standings and the fastest way to reach an admin all live there. English is the server language; Ukrainian is spoken in Discord too.
