This is a chill vanilla plus modded SMP that started as a small friend group and now has an established community. It runs on Java 1.21.1 and uses the Origins mod so you can pick custom origins and play in different ways.
The server has long seasons so your builds and stories actually matter over time. There are events and polls so players get to help decide what happens next. You have to fill out a form application to join so the community stays friendly and not chaotic.
There is in game voice chat and paint mods so people can talk and be creative while they play. There are channels where players can share and promote their content if they like to record or stream.
They also have something called Soul Trade which is basically consensual heart trading between players for extra risk and fun. The server is clearly LGBT plus friendly and also welcoming to neurodivergent players so it feels like a safe and cozy place to hang out.

EchelonMC is a custom survival SMP that is built for long term building and teamwork. It is not trying to be a PvP chaos server and it is not for stealing or griefing. It feels like the point is to grow a real community world that keeps moving forward.
