MineRealm SMP Long-Term Semi-Vanilla

MineRealm is a really old survival server that has been around since 2010 and a ton of players have already joined it. The world is smaller and grows over time so new land is always from the latest version. Everything is player built so you do not spawn into some giant prefab hub.

The server is semi vanilla and tries to feel like normal Minecraft but with a few smart upgrades. There is a classic plot system and grief protection so your builds stay safe. Staff use their own protection tools so people cannot just ruin your stuff.

There is no pay to win and no spawned items so the survival is fully legit. The world does not reset so your base is meant to last a long time. There is public infrastructure that players have made to help new people get started and to keep the world connected.

The server also has some unique features that run on custom plugins but it still keeps the main vanilla survival feeling. Overall it is a long running SMP with a tight community and a world that keeps growing without wiping everything you build.

Storybook SMP – Become The Monster

13 PlusCasual Survivalcharacter backstorieschill vibesconsent pvpcozy survivalFairytale Themefantasy survivalfriendly playersLight RoleplayLore Focusedmonster gameplaynon toxicplayer storiesSmall CommunityStory-Drivensurvival roleplayvampire powerswerewolf powersWhitelisted Community

Storybook SMP is a small survival server where you play as monsters from fairytales. There are vampires and werewolves and other creatures of the night. The server uses Vampirism and a werewolf mod so you can actually become one of these beings.

The community is pretty small right now with around ten active players. People are online at all kinds of times. Most players live near the spawn village so it is easy to find someone to talk to or build next to. The vibe is very friendly and not focused on PvP.

PvP only happens if both players say yes first so you do not have to worry about random fights. The server is 13 plus and they just want people who are kind and mature no matter their age.

Storybook SMP is also planning a bigger roleplay. Everyone has to make a backstory before they apply and that backstory gets shared so other players can read it. None of the main lore is fully decided yet. The community will help choose when the big story starts and when it ends.

Right now you can join build a house near spawn and get ready for future roleplay. People seem patient and relaxed so you can take your time and enjoy the cozy server feeling.

This is a factions lifesteal server where every fight actually matters because you steal hearts when you kill other players. It feels really intense since losing a fight can make you weaker and winning can make you stronger.

The server has custom enchantments that feel like they belong in normal Minecraft but give more ways to build your gear. You can set up armor and weapons for offense or defense so you can make different styles for pvp or for surviving.

Factions are a big part of the server. You can claim land form alliances and try to control more of the world. The whole world has pvp turned on so you are never really safe when you go outside your base.

There is an economy with commands to sell things from your hand and a shop to buy what you need. There is also an auction house where players can trade rare items with each other. On top of that you level up skills with McMMO so you feel stronger the more you play.

The rules are focused on fair play. No hacking no xray and no duping. Exploits are not allowed and you are expected to respect the staff. They also do not allow homophobic or racist language so the chat stays more chill and respectful.

This server is called Ancient Echoes and it runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.10. It feels like a classic survival world but with an active adult community.

Everyone here is 18 or older and the whole server is based on trust. There are no locked chests and no land claims so people just build and play how they want. The rules are really minimal and the staff keeps things pretty chill. There is no pay to win and no donor perks so nobody gets special boosts or paid cosmetics.

The server is hard mode but it has some quality of life stuff like one player sleep and fast leaf decay. There is a diamond based economy and no plugins changing the vanilla feel. People can travel on the Nether roof and there is proximity voice and group chat which makes big projects and adventures feel really alive.

The community does regular events like Spleef tournaments trivia nights and elytra course races. There are also big server projects plus random adventures that just happen when people are online. It still feels like the right time to join because there is space at spawn shops and Nether hubs for new ideas.

The server uses BlueMap so you can see the world for planning and exploring. There are also APAC and EU friendly proxies like one in Hong Kong and one in Amsterdam that route back to the main host so players from different regions can connect better.
