LumaMC is a survival towny server that tries to go a bit beyond a normal world. From what I saw it feels like a chill place where you can join a town or start your own and slowly build up with other players.
The main land uses Towny for claiming so towns and nations actually matter. There is a jobs system and a player based economy so you make money by working and trading with other players instead of just selling to a random shop. There is also mcMMO so your skills level up while you play and you feel stronger over time.
The server uses custom items with special abilities and they run a Hoarder plugin where you sell big stacks of items for extra cash and the top players in the event get rewards. There are ranks you can climb for more titles and abilities so there is always a goal to work toward.
LumaMC also has a dynamic seasons world where the season time and weather match real life in the northern hemisphere. There are fishing competitions with custom fish and an Artmap plugin so people who like art can make map drawings and show them off.
The owners seem focused on an inclusive community where both new and experienced players can have fun. They say they have a roadmap with lots of future updates and events and they ask for player feedback so the server can grow with the community.
