Lumincraft

This is a small survival server that feels like a real group of friends instead of a giant random lobby. There are usually around ten people and everyone kind of knows each other so you do not feel like just a number.

The whole server is about community. At spawn there is a chest area where you can take what you need and leave extra stuff so new players can get started easier. People like to hang out build and talk.

The staff run weekly events that sound pretty fun like elytra races and a custom Honey Heist where everyone gets in voice chat and plays together. It feels more like a little event night than some grindy competition.

They also added some custom coded features. Instead of normal crates they have key forging so you combine keys to try to upgrade them. There is a player based economy where you can sell your farm items and run a shop.

There is no pay to win. You can get everything just by playing even ranks and keys so it feels fair and not like you have to spend money to keep up.

The server supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players on different devices can all join and play together. It is good if your friends are on console or mobile but you are on PC.
