New Dawn SMP is a long term vanilla survival server that feels really calm and chill. The world is meant to last a long time so you actually get time to finish a mega base or a whole town without it getting reset right away.
The server uses a diamond based economy. There are shopping areas gaming spots and minigame districts that players can make and use. There are some small vanilla style tweaks and a timber plugin that just makes things easier but it still feels like normal Minecraft.
Players like to do big builds towns trading and shared community projects. There are survival minigames Minecraft events and also some non Minecraft game nights so people can hang out even if they are not in game.
The community is friendly mature and focused on creativity. It is whitelisted and runs on an honor system so gameplay is very trust based. The rules are clear. No griefing no stealing and no toxicity. It is made for players who want a long lasting SMP experience where their builds matter and their time is respected.
The server runs on Java 1.21.11 and also supports Bedrock players.

It uses Xaeros Minimap and it has a Dynmap you can view in a browser. There are building focused block mods for more detail options. It also has Friend and Foe.

PvP matters here but it is not just random chaos since they use an honor system for fights and it is explained in their rules.
It also has McMMO skills so you keep leveling up as you play and you can unlock special abilities at higher levels.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys and lots of places to build.

Sparked is a whitelisted Java SMP that is built around community and long term survival building. It feels like a simple vanilla world at first and that is on purpose. The vibe is close knit and social with people who like a Hermitcraft kind of style while still doing their own thing.
This server keeps it trust based with no warps and no land claims and only minimal quality of life changes. It is meant to feel like a friends server that just got started. At the same time it is supported by mods that help protect builds if something goes wrong.
The admins stay involved and they keep the server maintained. They also talk openly about server costs and specs and how bans are handled. There are extras that do not mess with vanilla like more mob heads player heads armor posing proximity voice and a live map.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
