Haven SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that feels really calm and friendly. The world is still pretty new and the community wants it to last for a long time with no map resets.
It is regular survival and there are no game breaking plugins. There is a player made economy where people build shops and trade with each other so the server grows in a natural way.
There are no land claim plugins. Instead people agree to play peaceful and respect each other builds. The rules are strict about griefing stealing and harassment and the staff actually enforce them so it feels fair for everyone.
Java and Bedrock players can play together here. There is optional proximity voice chat so you can talk to people who are near you in game if you want more immersion and social play.
There are a few simple quality of life commands like sit spin and hat. When you die your items go into a grave for a short time so you have a chance to get them back.
This server is good if you are tired of anarchy and also tired of super locked down claim servers. It is focused on calm survival fair play and a real community where your builds and shops actually matter over time.
