This is a Minecraft realm that is part of a Discord group called Forge Gaming. The community has been around since 2016 and it feels pretty relaxed and chill. It is not a sweaty tryhard place and not a crazy meme dump. It is more like a spot where people actually talk and play and get to know each other.
The realm is long term survival and it is active and welcoming. People can hop on and just play survival together or they can sit and talk while they play other games. There are players from different regions like US and UK and EU and New Zealand so there is usually someone around to chat with.
The Discord has spots for normal chat and game talk and also for sharing screenshots clips and other random stuff like pets and food and hobbies. There are voice channels too for casual hangouts. No one is forced to be online all the time. You can join when you feel like it and still fit in.
They use the built in Discord application system to join. It is simple and it helps keep the realm and community friendly and not full of drama.

World of Sidürgate is a civilizations server with organic roleplay and storytelling. People make characters and build nations based on whatever ideals they want.
The world has unique generation plus dungeons and new recipes. It is vanilla plus on Java 1.21.4 so it still feels like Minecraft but with extra stuff.
The map border is 8k by 8k right now and it will get bigger after future events. There are dozens of active members and the server is growing steadily.
A lot of the features and plugins are made in house and more updates are planned. You can travel the world build a kingdom or try to become a sorcerer or a knight.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Towny Factions SMP Just Dropped

AeternalCiv is a geopolitical civilization building server where you can try to build a life and a name for yourself. You can be a citizen in a group or run your own place as a king or queen or just stay solo as a hermit.

competitive pvp focusOffline timer punishmentProgression feels earnedSmall border worldSurvival with stakes
I found a Lifesteal SMP on a tight 1000 by 1000 world border so everyone runs into each other a lot. It is built for pvp strategy and survival and it is meant to feel competitive.
The lifesteal rules are simple. If you kill a player you gain hearts and if a player kills you then you lose hearts. Mobs do not change your hearts so it is all about player fights.
The unique thing is Spirit Mode. When you would die at 1 heart you turn into a spirit instead of just being out. You drop your inventory and you cannot interact or attack or pick up items. You are invisible and invulnerable and you get 30 minutes to survive as a spirit and the timer keeps going even if you log off.
If your spirit timer runs out you get sent back to spawn and your hearts reset to 2. Then you are back in survival and you keep playing. The server is planned to go live in about 1 to 2 days depending on how many players join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
