This is a new Minecraft server that started around mid February 2024. The world is already big and it keeps expanding so new vanilla content can be reached and more players can join.
The server tries to stay as close to vanilla as possible but it fixes some annoying stuff that happens on public servers. There is a plugin that makes elytra renewable through fighting the ender dragon. There is a simple chest shop system that uses a currency you can swap with diamonds. Only one player needs to sleep to skip the night.
The community likes to build a lot. There are skyscrapers cozy villages iron farms and raid farms. There is also a nether roof travel hub with blue ice boat paths that you can use from spawn.
There are no land claim plugins but the server uses CoreProtect. It logs blocks items and other actions so staff can roll back grief easily. Every player can use the inspect command to see who touched their chests or blocks so you can check things yourself.
The staff team is very active and many staff members are also regular players. They are from different timezones so there is usually someone around to help and they answer on Discord a lot.
Cozy Craving Semi Vanilla Survival
Luminary Falls Adult Cozy SMP
Luminary Falls is a cozy long term SMP made for adults. It is whitelist only and 18+ and it aims to feel welcoming and mature with an uplifting LGBTQ+ friendly vibe.
It runs on Java and it also lets Bedrock players join with crossplay. The server keeps survival as the main thing but it adds quality of life plugins and datapacks that do not ruin the vanilla feel and it avoids pay to win stuff.
I also noticed they allow non advantage client mods like Litematica Xaeros Sodium and Dynamic Lights. They use resource worlds so the main world can stay forever and your builds do not get wiped.
There are usually players around at all hours and they say they average about 50 unique players each week. Besides the SMP there is a Creative server with monthly build challenges plus a lobby server with infinite parkour and PvP and an events server is planned with minigames sometimes.
To join you read the rules and apply for the whitelist through their Discord bot.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrescenta Geopolitical Roleplay Semi Vanilla
Crescenta is a semi vanilla worldbuilding and geopolitical roleplay server where players actually run the story. The world is called Gary and it is about 8 months old. The server is meant to last for years so it feels like you are joining early not late.
People here do roleplay and writing and lore plus politics and diplomacy. PvP and military planning matters a lot right now since the power balance is uneven and new fighters can change the map. Builders also fit in since nations need style and good looking towns.
Moderation is kept minimal so players handle disputes and wars and drama on their own. If you want a guided and scripted experience this is not really that. If you want choices with real consequences it is.
Protection uses the Citadel reinforcement system. It is block by block instead of chunk claims and it rewards smart building and preparation.
There are established nations that take new members and they already have culture and politics going. You can also try to start your own but it sounds like you should not do it totally alone. Versions listed are 1.21.10 to 1.21.11 and it supports Java and Bedrock crossplay. 16 plus is preferred since chat can get pretty mature.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPParasite Apocalypse Quarantine Escape Event
This server is a modern apocalypse survival world where the horror keeps getting worse and the goal is to stay alive long enough to escape.
Everyone starts inside a quarantined zone called Alpigus. The wall stays powered for 7 days so nobody can leave. When the grid fails the wall opens and the Nether unlocks and the End can be reached too.
There is also a big deadline. A nuke drops inside the wall on March 30th at 10AM EST and it wipes everything in there so you have to get out before then.
It is not hardcore. There is a land claim system that stops griefing and PVP but people can still steal. You can also toggle PVP inside claims using claim commands. Teams are a big thing and there are plenty of groups looking for more players.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRecraftSMP Season 7 Fresh Start
RecraftSMP is a whitelisted survival server with a community that stays active and friendly. Season 7 just launched on March 20th and it runs on Java Fabric 1.21.11. The server is based in the USA and it is 18 plus only.
The vibe is about teamwork and creativity. People build big stuff and mess with redstone and go exploring. There are community areas like a shopping district and a build competition district plus other shared spots.
It also has an integrated creative server so players can work on ideas. There are BlazeandCave style advancements and VanillaTweaks and a Bluemap. The End is still closed right now so everyone is kind of in the same early game stage.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat
This is a community centered survival server that is made by the players for the players.
It feels like a Hermitcraft style SMP with a diamond based economy. There is a shopping district and lots of public builds and bigger projects that people work on together.
Most players use proximity chat so it is easy to talk while you play. There are homes and some cosmetic and quality of life and fun plugins too and new stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
The server tries to keep that vanilla experience while still letting the community expand it over time. You will usually see around 5 to 20 people online during the day and there are hundreds of regular active players. It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is whitelisted and 18 plus only.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
