This is a Hermitcraft style semi vanilla server that feels really chill and friendly. It is focused on community and people usually work together on builds events and towns. Most players are in their early to mid 20s so the vibe is pretty mature but still fun.
The server runs hard mode survival on version 1.21.10 and it keeps the game close to vanilla. It uses Paper and only a few plugins for moderation so there is no teleport commands no land protection and no plugins that mess with normal Minecraft mechanics.
There are some cool datapacks like armor stand tweaks mob head drops invisible item frames and a few others. There is also a dynamic map where you can look at everyone’s builds almost in real time which is super helpful for planning bases and community areas.
The world has a soft border at 8k blocks. You can go outside it but stuff out there might get deleted later for new content so most building happens inside the border.
The community does weekly events and group projects like a shopping mall campground and farms. They are also doing special events like a Parade of Homes where everyone tours each other’s bases. The whole place feels laid back low stress and focused on hanging out joking around and making cool builds together.
