Altitude SMP Homey Survival With McMMO

I found a community centered survival network that is meant to feel like a real home server. It has been around since 2015 and it starts a new world for each big Minecraft release and the current survival map is for 1.21.8+ with a fresh map that began on July 19th 2025.
The gameplay is survival with extra stuff that players asked for. Land claiming is done with GriefPrevention so your builds can be protected. There is basic teleport like home and back. There is McMMO for leveling skills. There is also a dynmap so you can look at the world.
The server has an economy with player shops and a custom warp plugin for towns. You can also use MyPet. They run monthly server events and PvP is optional. There are lots of custom features that were suggested by the community and built in house. It is aimed at older players but everyone can join.
