Fuggin Fortress is a semi vanilla server that feels like a big project that keeps getting better every day. It has a simple survival style but with some extra quality of life stuff like custom enchants plus home claim and tpa so it is easier to live with other players.
There are a bunch of different worlds to try. There is a normal survival world. There is a creative world that uses a separate inventory so you cannot cheat items. There is a vanilla style world and also an amplified world for crazy mountains. There is even a superflat survival world if you want a weird challenge.
The server is aimed at adults so the vibe is more mature and chill. The owner talks about growing the server and adding more things all the time. When there are enough players they want to start doing events and contests with real prizes which sounds pretty cool.
If you like semi vanilla survival but want a few helpful plugins and a mix of different worlds to explore this server is worth checking out.
Fuggin Fortress Semi Vanilla Adult SMP
PurpleSMP Chill PVE Crossplay 1.21.11
I found PurpleSMP and it feels simple but still polished. It is a PVE server on 1.21.11 and it has crossplay so you can join from different devices.
The main extra thing here is mcMMO so you can level up skills while you grind resources. The economy is player made with no server shops and no currency so trading is based on what people think stuff is worth.
You can claim land to protect builds and there are player vaults for extra storage. PvP is off by default but you can toggle it if you want to mess around with friends.
They also take safety seriously. Blocks get logged and staff can see backups of your inventory when you join leave or die so they can restore stuff if you lost it because of rule breaking. They say they run strong anti cheat and staff get alerted fast when it trips.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSurvival Dungeons With Boss Totems
This server is a Survival+ SMP that keeps the survival feeling but adds real progression with PvP and economy. It works on both Java and Bedrock so more players can join together.
The big thing here is the custom enchant system with rarity tiers from common to legendary. The enchants do more than just extra damage and they can add effects like slowness poison weakness wither knockback lifesteal and even temporary enchant disabling. Fights end up being about builds and counterplay not just who swings first.
There are dungeons and bosses you enter through portals at /dungeons. You clear rooms and fight Elites for strong loot and materials. Minions can drop rare loot keys and crafting materials and you can use Boss Totems in the right boss rooms to spawn bosses. There are both PvE and PvP dungeons.
The economy is built around playing since you sell items and level up sell multipliers by item type. You can make money from crops ores mob drops and spawners and you can use the shop for basic materials or trade with players in the auction house.
PvP is part of the world with teams and raiding allowed and even insiding and scamming items allowed. Cheats and unfair advantages are blocked so it stays about skill gear and builds. There is also a cosmetic wrap system so you can change how your gear looks without changing stats.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPuffer SMP Adults Only Community SMP
Puffer SMP is a Hermitcraft inspired survival server that feels super community focused. The players like to team up and make huge builds and big farms and they also plan stuff like minigames and secret bases.
There is a shopping district and a working in game economy so trading and player shops are a big deal. The server also runs a separate creative server where people can design builds together and it has World Edit and Axiom.
This is an adults only server and it has a strict application process with no exceptions. The goal is to keep out kids and griefers so the world stays chill.
They also have Bluemap for both servers and they run regular events. Staff is active and helpful and the server is up 24/7 on a dedicated machine with 64gb RAM. They also use Ledger and they have a Reddit page to post updates.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHosting That Actually Cares
I found a hosting service made by a Minecraft server owner who got tired of lag and scams. They say they have been making servers for 11 years so they know the pain.
They focus on good support and stable servers. They also talk about tools to help with installing plugins or mods. The whole vibe is that customer service matters the most.
They say if your server gets stuck or you get lag they will help you fast. They also share that they now run a lot of machines and have a lot of customers so it feels like a real operation not some random ad.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP18+ Whitelisted Semi Vanilla SMP Grind
FellowshipSMP is a brand new community SMP that just opened last weekend. It is whitelist only and it is 18+ only so it feels more focused.
It keeps things pretty fair since there are no ranks and no donor perks. There is no server shop and the economy is diamond based. There are also no teleport shortcuts so travel and base location actually matter.
The server has deeper progression with ValhallaMMO and ValhallaTrinkets. The world uses Terralith generation. Players can run shops with Shopkeepers and rent market spaces with AdvancedRegionMarket. There is also Bluemap for viewing the world and Bell Claims for land claiming.
Phantoms are turned off. The Ender Dragon can respawn weekly and it is reworked into a multi phase raid boss fight. It runs on Java 1.21.11 and the server region is NA with popular play times in US time zones.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
