This is a survival server that feels a lot like Hermitcraft and it is run by the players who play on it. The community is very active and there are usually a bunch of people online every day.
The server uses a diamond based economy with a big shopping district where players trade and build shops. There are public builds and big projects that anyone can help with which makes the world feel really connected.
Most people here use proximity chat so talking to others feels natural when you walk near them in game. There are homes and some cosmetic and quality of life plugins and new stuff usually gets added based on community polls.
The goal of the server is to stay close to vanilla Minecraft but also let the community vote on changes when it makes the game more fun. It is Java only and it is whitelisted and it is for players who are 18 or older.
If you want a chill Hermitcraft style SMP where the players actually shape the server then this world is made for that.
