So I always hear the phrases "vanilla Minecraft" and "vanilla SMP" thrown around. I know what they mean, but why is an original, unmodded version of Minecraft called "vanilla", not "chocolate" or anything else? just curious

I think it's something about the most common flavor of ice cream is vanilla.
Never dig down. Especially not in Spleef.

because the term 'vanilla' can mean without added flavour. the term chocolate can't.
No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...

It's because vanilla is a fresh flavor and is thought of as pure.

Vanilla is when you have a completely un-modified version of something. Vanilla Minecraft is JUST Minecraft, the way you downloaded it.
And why they chose it? Who knows.

Vanilla is with vanilla flavoring,
Icecream isn't normally vanilla flavored. It is cream flavored.

Vanilla does serve as the base of many flavors, though.

And alone is still quite delicious.
When combined with Blue food coloring and Almonds, it makes Blue Moon, my favorite.

In Minecraft, it means an un-modded server.

BTW OP, Minecraft isn't the first game to use the term Vanilla. Though they use it differently than other games in the past.
In WoW, Vanilla means the first game before the expansion packs

Sorry about all these immature comments. Vanilla is a Minecraft server that is downloaded from minecraft.net, and it is pure without any mods. A Bukkit server is... well a Bukkit server.

Vanilla is a flavoring made from the extract of orchids in the vanilla genus.

I don't see why would anyone want to join a "vanilla minecraft" server anyway... There's really no way you're going to be able to keep control of anything without a few antigriefer mods/regulations. And maybe some balance fixes for broken mechanics (like villager trading).
