This is a semi vanilla survival server where people actually care about building and playing for a long time. It is an SMP with a big focus on community and trading so it feels more like a world you live in not just a random realm.
The economy is all about diamonds so players mine and trade for them and then use them in player shops. There is a shops menu so you can quickly find what other players are selling or set up your own shop and become rich.
You can claim land using golden shovels so your builds are safe from grief. The server is PvE and they say no griefing and no keep inventory so it feels like real survival but your stuff is protected if you claim it.
There are separate resource worlds so people can go there to mine and gather without ruining the main world. There is also a live world map you can see in your browser which makes exploring and planning builds easier.
You can earn ranks and vote rewards just by playing and supporting the server. There are weekly events and the community is described as friendly and welcoming so it is a good place if you want chill survival with other players instead of trolls.
The server works on both Java and Bedrock so pretty much anyone can join and play together in the same world.

MinecraftOffline is a survival server with a lifesteal twist and it is based in the EU. It feels pretty competitive because you can actually gain hearts by killing other players and you lose hearts when you die.
If you lose all your hearts you get banned so fights actually matter a lot. New players have a one hour grace period so they do not lose hearts right away which makes it less scary at the start.
The server has simple home and teleport commands so you can set a home and use tpa to meet up with people. There is a plugin that locks commands during pvp and if you combat log an npc shows up and can be killed for your stuff.
There are protections against crazy speed cheats and heavy chat spam so it stays somewhat fair and not full of bots. The staff use custom plugins for stats so your playtime kills and deaths are tracked and you get rewards when you hit certain milestones.
You can earn vote tokens and spend them in an in game store to buy custom name colors and custom motds. Players can also type goodnight to vote skip the night so you do not always have to wait in the dark.
Overall it feels like a lifesteal survival server for players who like real risk and pvp and still want basic commands and some fun stats and cosmetics.

The server is a classic survival SMP with extra quality of life plugins and datapacks. It still feels like vanilla but with some helpful features that make things smoother and more fun. There is no pay to win and no unfair advantages.
They use resource worlds so the main world does not have to reset. That means your builds can stay for years and you can keep adding to them without worrying they will get wiped.
The community is pretty mature and welcoming and they are open to LGBTQ plus players. The staff has a lot of experience running servers and they try to keep the place positive and safe.
You can play on Java and also from Bedrock with full crossplay. They allow non advantage client mods like Litematica and Xaero and Sodium and Dynamic Lights so builders and technical players can use their favorite tools.

The server is survival focused and it does not want to lose that survival feel. The owners think about how every change will affect normal day to day gameplay. Features are added in a way that feels simple and not bloated. If you do not like some feature you can just toggle it off. Farms and redstone are meant to behave like they do in normal Minecraft.
There is a ranking system based on your playtime. You unlock perks just by playing more which makes progress feel natural. The economy is made to be fair and balanced and there are a lot of player run shops so players trade with each other instead of it being all server shops.
The staff are always talking with the players. They have a suggestions channel tickets and feedback forms every two months. They also post weekly changelogs so you can see exactly what is new or updated. There are monthly events to bring people together and make the server feel active.
There is also a web map where you can view all the different worlds and see what people have built. Overall the server is about chill survival long term worlds and a community that is actually listened to.

The dragon egg is still up for grabs so people are racing to beat the end. If you want a serious hardcore experience and you like danger this server is kind of perfect. You just get one life so you have to make it count.
