Twilight Sanctuary is a chill 18 plus Minecraft server that really cares about community. It feels like a place where people actually want to get to know each other and hang out instead of just playing alone.
The server is run on Paper in the US and it feels mostly vanilla with some small quality of life plugins. There is a diamond based economy that is like hermitcraft so trading and shopping with other players is a big part of the world. There is also a separate resource world and a live Bluemap so you can look at the world from your browser.
Java and Bedrock players can both join so it is easy to play with friends. The world border is smaller on purpose so bases end up closer together and people run into each other more. That makes it feel more like a town instead of everyone being super far away.
The owner really listens to player feedback and wants everyone to feel like their ideas matter. There is a big focus on events with a lot of different planned events and also random pop up events at busy times. The server has been running for a little over a month and there are still tons of projects and things to do. It feels like a growing community where new players can still join and fit right in.
This server is called Elysian 2 and it is a modded roleplay world that is still in beta. The whole idea is about realistic geopolitics where players build towns and nations and then deal with each other through roleplay.
The server uses Towny so land and nations actually matter. It uses Create so you can build crazy machines and technology and there is also VS2 plus Minecolonies and some lightweight magic and more. The world is a fully custom modded world map with custom terrain and it feels different from normal Minecraft.
There are a lot of quality of life things like fishing features and McMMO skills and other relaxed stuff so playing feels smoother and not super sweaty. They also run custom mods and plugins to keep the server stable and make everything work together.
The admins aim for realistic but still fun gameplay and they say they are non pay to win so progress comes from actually playing not buying ranks. The staff says they have no history of drama and they seem focused on a good community.
There is a general info site a wiki that is still empty and a modpack on CurseForge so you can get all the mods in one place.
UneasyVanilla is a vanilla anarchy style server that has been running since March 10th 2020. It is made for players who want total freedom but still want the game to feel like normal Minecraft.
There are no gameplay changing plugins. There is no teleportation and no sethome. There is no grief protection and no set economy. You just spawn in and survive with what you can find and what you can build.
Griefing and raiding are allowed so you always have to watch your back. You can team up with other players or try to make it on your own. You never really know who you will run into or what will happen next.
Hacks and cheats are not allowed so the server is about real Minecraft skills. Everything you do is in the normal game with no unfair advantages.
The server is on version 1.21.8 and has a wiki and a community that has grown around it over the years. If you like tough survival and risky adventures this place feels pretty exciting.
This is an 18 plus Double PastLife event where people play together in a modded world with limited lives. It mixes the PastLife idea with Double Life so every choice feels risky.
The host uses a custom voice chat mod so everyone talks in game. It is a closed source client mod and you have to install it through their modpack to join. The server side part of the voice mod is not shared and you cannot get it by joining.
Sessions are planned for Saturdays at 11 30 CST. The start date is not set yet but the goal is to have at least sixteen players and maybe more. If you want a tense survival event with adults and voice chat then this is what the server is about.
Near Vanilla is a semi vanilla SMP that has been running for about eight years and it feels like a really close community. People here like to build explore collect stuff and just hang out together. There are big group projects player competitions and a busy shopping district so it never feels empty.
The server is community driven and players talk a lot on Discord about serious things and silly stuff too. When big changes are coming they listen to what the players think and talk it out first. Suggestions are welcome and the staff team is active so problems and bad behavior get handled fast.
Play styles are pretty open. Some players like to go off on their own and build far away. Others like to work in groups and join community builds. There is a DynMap you can view in your browser so you can see the world and find biomes or check how close you are to other players.
This server is 18 plus only and they expect people to be mature and respectful. There is a zero tolerance policy for hacking glitching or duping and doing that is a permanent ban. Griefing stealing bullying insults discrimination prejudice and toxic behavior are not allowed. Chat is moderated and Mojang chat reporting is turned off because of the plugins.
Right now the server is on Season 7 on hard difficulty and it looks like a good place if you want a long term world and a chill but serious survival experience with other adults.
