Foggy Willows is a server for people who really want normal Minecraft with nothing extra. It runs on the regular minecraft server jar and has no plugins and no datapacks. It just feels like playing singleplayer but with other people around.
The world is in hard mode so mobs hit pretty hard and you actually have to be careful. There is no tp or sethome and there is no fancy spawn or giant tutorial area. You just join the world and start playing.
Players are expected to handle their own problems. There are no special systems to protect you and no extra rules explained in a huge wall of text. You play how you want and build what you want. Technical players who like redstone and farms can feel at home here too.
The server is always updated to the latest stable vanilla jar and it is self hosted on a machine made for running it. There are no donations and there is no world border so you can travel as far as you want.

SurviveWithUs is a semi vanilla survival server that feels like an old school community world and not a giant pay to win network. It keeps the normal Minecraft vibe but adds custom quality of life features that make things smoother without turning the game into something totally different.
The players here are a small close group and a lot of them have known each other for years. Everyone gets a say in big server decisions and there is a place where players can suggest new ideas for features. Most of the plugins are custom so the owners can change or add stuff that the community actually wants.
The server is fully anti pay to win. You do not have to spend money to enjoy the game and you also do not have to vote every day just to rank up. Progress is based on playtime so you rank up by actually playing and using your brain instead of spamming vote links. Voting only gives little thank you rewards and is not needed to move forward.
Overall it feels like a warm and inviting SMP where people hang out build and survive together. If you want a chill semi vanilla experience with active owners and a community that cares about your opinion this server is made for that.

SolarCiv is a Minecraft server that puts you on a giant Earth map and tells you to survive and conquer. The world is based on real geography so mountains oceans and land shapes actually matter when you build towns and plan wars.
The main gameplay is Towny with nations and land claims. You can make a town grow it into a nation and fight other nations with SiegeWar. There is a lot of PvP and big battles when people try to take each others land so it feels like a strategy game but inside Minecraft.

The Earth map is huge and very detailed and there are still many real world spots that no one has taken yet. The community is still pretty new but already active so it is a good time to join and claim a place for yourself.

balanced conflictCommunity Focusedcompetitive minerscustom headsearth-survivaleuropean playerbasefriendly warfaregeopolitics rphardworking farmersjobs based moneyKOTH eventslong-term worldNation buildingPeaceful townsPlayer EconomyPvP and PVEstrategic gameplaySurvival townyTowny Nationswars and peace
AvalonEarth is an earth style SMP with a 1 to 500 scale map so there is a lot of space to spread out and build your own nation. It is based on Towny so towns and nations are a huge part of how the server works.
You start with enough money to make a nation right away. You do not have to grind for hours or meet some weird player requirement before you can actually claim land. That makes it feel way more fair and you can jump into the geopolitics fast.
The server has already finished one season that started in September and it built a strong community. Now it is in the second season and it is doing really well with lots of new players and around 40 to 50 online during peak EU times.
There is a ton of conflict and wars for players who like fighting and strategy. But if you do not like war you can still live more peaceful and try to avoid battles. There is also KOTH events and a custom player head system where killing someone drops their head and you can sell it while they lose a bit of money.
Money is mainly made with jobs. You can be a Hunter a Lumberjack a Miner a Fisherman or a Farmer. That gives everyone different ways to earn cash and makes the grind feel more fun and less boring.
