So this is SwiftServers and it is kind of wild because it is a real Minecraft host that is actually free.
They focus on performance and not on super long queues or laggy stuff. They built their own custom control panel from scratch so it looks clean and runs fast and it is made so normal people can use it without getting confused.
You can start different kinds of servers like Paper Spigot or just simple Vanilla. It is made so you can get a server running in just a few seconds and then invite your friends to play.
The hardware is not some cheap thing. They give you 1.5 GB of RAM a fast AMD EPYC Rome CPU 10 GB NVMe SSD storage and a 1 Gbit network. They also do not limit player slots so you can grow your community as big as you want.
They use strong DDoS protection to keep your server safe and there is a built in backup system so you can create and restore backups really fast.
The crazy part is there is no credit card and no hidden fees. You just make a server and start playing.
Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy server that tries to feel like real vanilla survival but with almost no rules. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it runs all day and night.
You can join with a lot of different Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. The owner recommends playing on 1.21.10 so you do not run into weird problems.
The world border is huge at 2 million blocks in each direction so there is tons of space to explore build and hide. There are no map resets so whatever you build or destroy stays there for the long run.
This server allows griefing and PvP and there is no pay to win at all. There is no teleporting either except for a simple spawn command so players really far away can return to civilization. Nether roof travel is allowed. Phantoms do not spawn and only about half the players online need to sleep to skip the night.
The rules are pretty light. Exploits lag machines duping and spamming are not allowed. Harassment and racial slurs in chat are also not allowed. Everything else inside normal gameplay is mostly fair game.
If you like a rough survival world with almost no protection and you want a long term map with real risk then this server is made for you.
LeafLore is a chill survival SMP that feels simple and easy to understand. It runs on a vanilla style world with a set seed and some light tweaks that keep things fun without getting confusing.
You spawn near the main area but you can send yourself to a random spot close to spawn with a command if you want a fresh start. There is also a bed command that lets you teleport back to your own bed so building a base actually feels useful.
Playtime and join date commands are on the server so you can see how long you or your friends have been around. Ender pearls do not disappear when you die so they feel way less annoying to use.
Phantoms are turned on but they only attack you if you choose to enable hostile phantoms with a command. Sleep is set so only a small part of the server has to sleep to skip the night which makes it easier when lots of people are online.
The server is pretty straightforward and uses DiscordSRV so the community can talk between the game and Discord. It looks like a good place if you want relaxed survival with a few helpful commands instead of a huge list of plugins.
This is a vanilla style server where people play survival but still get some quality of life stuff. You can talk with proximity voice so it feels more like hanging out in a small town. There are invisible item frames custom music discs custom images and poseable armor stands so builds can look really cool.
The community feels a lot like a Hermitcraft style SMP. There is a diamond based economy a nether roof hub and a shopping district where anyone can set up a shop. Players build big redstone machines and huge projects because there are no limits on that.
Most things on the server are decided by the community. They only add or change stuff after talking with everyone so people feel like they have a say. The goal is to give you the freedom of single player but with other people around so you are not alone.
There are usually a good amount of players online in the day and a bigger group hanging out in the discord. The server runs on the latest Minecraft version so it stays up to date.
I found this server called Taerel Network and it feels like a dark fantasy world in Minecraft. The whole place is themed like a strange new frontier with portals stone caverns and weird landscapes that look alien and a little creepy.
The server is modded and runs on Fabric with a custom modpack. It uses biome mods like BetterEnd BetterNether and Regions Unexplored so the world looks really different from normal Minecraft. You see dark forests strange colors and places that feel dangerous but also super cool to explore.
It is a survival server and the map is permanent. There are no resets so everything you build and explore is meant to last which makes it feel more like a real world. The owner called The Elusive Astropath is active friendly and likes to help people.
The server is whitelisted so you have to contact the owner to join. Because of that the community is small and more controlled and it feels like they really want explorers who care about the world and the lore.
If you want a modded survival experience in a dark fantasy setting and you like exploring new biomes and strange places this server is all about that.
