Luminary Falls is a long term survival SMP that feels really cozy and friendly. It is made for adults who want a calm place to play Minecraft for a long time without losing their builds.
The server runs Java with full Bedrock crossplay so players on different platforms can play together. It uses quality of life plugins and datapacks that keep the game close to vanilla but a bit smoother. There is a main world that does not reset and there are extra resource worlds so the main map can stay nice for years.
The community is whitelist only and 18 plus so people act mature and respectful. The server is LGBTQ plus friendly and players come from all over the world so there is usually someone online. The staff has many years of experience and they focus on keeping the place safe and uplifting.
You can use non advantage client mods like Litematica Xaero’s Sodium and Dynamic Lights. There is no pay to win and plugins are picked to help performance and community stuff instead of unfair boosts.
If you like exploring building farming redstone or small events this server usually has players doing the same thing. It feels like a relaxed place where you can slowly build a base and know it will still be there in the future.
