Atropolis is a 16+ whitelisted Java server with a semi vanilla feel and it just opened so the world is still fresh. It is meant to be community based and it welcomes all kinds of players.
It has quality of life stuff like one person sleeping and phantoms are disabled. PvP can be toggled and there is a web map so you can see what is going on.
The server also has anti grief protections with rollbacks. Keep inventory is turned on in the nether and the end.
It uses Simple Voicechat and Elytra Trims but those are optional and need a client download if you want them. There are also extras like a death counter, player and mob head drops, leadable villagers, and renewable trial vaults.
The first big event is the ender dragon fight on March 28th at 5 to 6 pm EST and the end opens with it. At spawn there are portals set up so you can reach the nether and even the nether roof.
