This server is called Java Survival and it is all about legit Minecraft survival. Every block is mined and placed by hand so it feels super real and not like a crazy plugin mess.
They do not use the normal plugin packs everyone always has. Instead they have their own custom plugins for basic commands and land protection so the server feels different from most other SMPs.
The server is semi vanilla and it is for players who are 13 and older. It is not fully family friendly but there are rules. No super offensive language. No politics or other drama topics. No hacking cheating or using exploits. Do not mess with other players stuff and do not build too close to them. Be respectful be kind and no advertising.
The owners really want this to be a main home server that lasts a long time. They keep the server updated and they care a lot about the community. Players get a say in what happens and it does not feel like it is just for staff.
The server has a history with multiple seasons and they are now on their third world. They say they are not going anywhere so it seems good if you want to build long term and be part of a stable survival world.
Chilltown is a survival SMP that feels really friendly and calm. It is made for people who like to explore and build and not rush everything.
The server uses seasons so the terrain changes every 90 days. This makes the world feel more alive and gives you new places to see. There are custom structures and custom biomes that look really cool and also give more loot.
There are custom mobs and custom enchants so the game is more unique and a bit more challenging but it is not super punishing. You still feel like you can play at your own pace.
You claim land with chunks so you do not need to use a golden shovel. There is a daily rewards system and a community chest that help players out.
The people on the server are friendly and there is a focus on not being pay to win. Everyone can just play together and have fun without needing to buy advantages.
Misted Lands is a new Minecraft roleplay server that is just starting out and it feels really story based. The world is about a healer named Anya who was loved by everyone until zealots called her a witch and killed her. Her dad Yosif lost it and cursed the land with a huge magic wall and now the dead never rest and monsters keep attacking every night.
The server uses mods to add RPG mechanics like classes and leveling. There are also quality of life mods that help with transport sorting maps crafting recipes farming and building so it is not only hard and scary but also more comfortable to play.
This is a roleplay server where you can talk in character or just be yourself. You can use voice chat or text chat and you do not have to stay in character all the time. Players get to interact with each other and shape the lore of these strange new lands as they survive the endless undead.
The team running it is small and they are building up the project and planning to open the server around mid December 2025. It feels like a place for people who like story survival and roleplay mixed together.
SmokeyMC is a survival towny server where players build towns and either live peacefully or go to war. It feels like a mix of chill building and battles between different groups.
There are playtime based ranks and jobs so the more you play the more you unlock. You can level up MCMMO skills and get stronger over time. There is custom terrain so the world looks different from normal Minecraft and it is really fun to explore.
The server has very low lag so fights and building feel smooth. There are extra worlds like random teleport worlds resource worlds and flat worlds that help with gathering stuff or making big projects.
SmokeyMC supports both Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together. There is an online server map that lets you track towns and battles which makes wars and planning a lot more interesting.
