Banana Sandwich SMP Season 3 just started and it already feels really alive. The world is fresh and most of it is still unexplored so you do not feel behind at all.
Everyone begins on a huge mushroom island that works like a safe hub. People are building first bases and opening early shops and the server feels like a Hermitcraft style world with a diamond based economy.
This is a Vanilla plus survival server for adults only so it is made for players who want to chill and build and hang out. There is no pay to win stuff so progress is fair and community driven.
Proximity voice chat is required so you actually talk to people instead of sitting in silence. It makes mining building and shopping feel way more social.
There are small quality of life tweaks like mob heads armor stand editing and fun things like invisible item frames and sitting or riding players. There is also a bluemap so you can watch the world grow and the dragon will drop elytra when the end opens so everyone gets a fair shot.
They are running events like a starter house event and an end release event so there is always something to work toward. If you want a mature Hermitcraft inspired Vanilla plus SMP that is right at the start of the season this server fits that really well.

Helianthus SMP Season 2 is a survival world that is built to last a long time and not just be a quick phase. Progress is slower on purpose and the server is more punishing so you really need to play together with other people.
Everyone joins one of three Houses. Adamant is the industrial and mining style House. Demeter is the nature and farming House that feels kind of communistic. Theurgy is the magic style House with greedy warlocks and explorers. These Houses are led by players and they shape how the server works.
The world has three difficulty stages. At the start it is Normal and surviving is hard but possible if you stay with your House. When the first player enters the Nether the world changes to Hard and creatures get tougher. When someone reaches the End it goes to Extreme and late game becomes super wild but by then players are already strong.
There is a custom role play system with Houses and even monopolies. Your choices can change the structure of the server and the power of your House. There are relics trade wars and territory struggles. Resources in the world are limited so you have to decide if you want to dominate negotiate or trade with others instead of just grinding alone.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWexloth Network Semi Vanilla Survival
