This server is called Dominion Society and it feels a lot like Hermitcraft but smaller and just starting out. It is a survival world that wants to last a long time and the players care about creativity and building cool things together.
The server is mostly vanilla. There are some datapacks that help with stuff like AFK display durability pings coordinates HUD and multiplayer sleep. There is also BlueMap so you can look at the world from above and proximity voice chat so talking feels more real. TNT duping is allowed and there is a player run shopping district where everyone can set up shops.
They do big kickoff events where new players join at the same time as the older members. Everyone meets explores and builds together and they even run minigames during the event so nobody has to start alone.
Rules are simple. No griefing stealing or harassment. No hacks dupes or exploits. Chat should stay mature and friendly. PVP has to be agreed on by both players. No lag machines or crazy spam farms that wreck the server. You have to be at least 16 and they want real answers on the application not one word stuff.
The whole place feels like a tight but chill community that wants people who actually stick around and help shape the world instead of just leaving after a day.
