Astria

This is a survival server that is made for adults who just want to chill and actually play for more than a few weeks. It is 18 plus and everyone gets vetted so you don’t have to worry about drama or random griefers.

The server runs Java 1.21 and supports both .10 and .11 clients. It is mostly vanilla but with quality of life stuff like dynmap one player sleep mob heads and grief protection using CoreProtect. There are also Vanilla Tweaks and MC VoodooBeard datapacks so it still feels like normal Minecraft but a little smoother to live in.

The community is focused on being mature and relaxed. People like to joke around and pull small pranks but no one flips out about it. Staff are actually present and seem to care about what happens on the world.

There are events that actually happen like hub building competitions in the Nether and End tag games and treasure hunts. There is also a real shopping district with a player run economy that people really use instead of just talking about it.

You join through their process get to show off your builds and talk a bit then they whitelist you. The whole point is to have a server that does not die after three months and keeps the same players coming back.
