cmcraft

This server is called Sparked and it is a long term SMP that feels really close and social. It is made for people who like building and chill Minecraft with other players. The admins are active and they stay involved with the community and keep the server running smooth.

When you join it feels very simple and very vanilla on purpose. There are no big menus and no giant tutorial walls. There are no warps and no land claims and only a little bit of quality of life stuff. It honestly feels like you just joined a friends world that they started for fun.

Even though it feels super simple there are mods that protect your builds just in case something bad happens. The owner is open about server costs and server specs and bans so it feels really honest and transparent. The players are mainly adults so the whole place feels more mature.

They use some Vanilla Tweaks style datapacks like more mob heads and armor poser and player heads. There is proximity voice chat and bluemap and other mods that run in the background but nothing that removes normal vanilla features. It is basically a relaxed hermitcraft like community but still its own thing.
