Elementum

This is a semi vanilla survival server where the whole thing is about community economy and building cool stuff together. It feels like a normal Minecraft world but with a few helpful plugins so your stuff is safe and you can trade with other players.

The economy is all based on diamonds so people actually mine and trade instead of using random money numbers. You can set up player shops and use a shop menu to browse everything really fast. It makes trading feel simple and kind of addicting.

You can claim land with a golden shovel so nobody can grief your builds. The server is PvE and it clearly says no griefing and no keep inventory so survival still feels risky but your base is protected. They also use separate resource worlds so the main world stays clean while people go mining somewhere else.

There is a live world map you can look at in your browser which is super nice for exploring and planning builds. The server works for both Java and Bedrock so pretty much everyone can join and play together.

There are ranks and vote rewards you can earn just by playing and voting so you get perks over time without having to do anything crazy. The community seems friendly and they run weekly events so there is usually something going on if you like playing with others.
