This server is called The New Life SMP and it is a semi vanilla world where the community is the main focus. It is made for people who want to actually play together and not feel alone in multiplayer.
The server runs on version 1.21.10 and works for both Java and Bedrock so more people can join. Everyone is on an equal playing field and no player is treated like they are better than anyone else.
The community is active and international and they hang out in and out of the SMP. There are monthly events and the world border gets expanded over time so there is always new stuff to explore together.
They use Simple Voice Chat so talking and teaming up is way easier. The progression is balanced with armor upgrading templates and there are fully custom enchantments to make gear feel different. The economy is fully player driven so trading and shops are a big part of the server.
Season 2 just started recently so new players can join early and grow with the world and the community. The server is about having fun with others and making every player feel like they matter.
New Life SMP Semi Vanilla Community
Classic No Frills Survival SMP
This server is a classic survival SMP that tries to keep Minecraft feeling simple and real. It is made for players who just want to survive build explore and play with a friendly community.
There are no big gimmicks or overcomplicated stuff. It is more about working together and doing your own projects at your own pace.
If you want extra immersion there is optional proximity chat so you can hear nearby players in game.
There is also a community pixel project you can join with the /place command. It is like a big shared canvas where you place one block every 10 seconds and only wool counts so it gets pretty intense and funny.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTrue Vanilla Hardcore Deathbans Crossplay
I found a true vanilla survival server that keeps it simple with minimal plugins and no ranks and no pay to win stuff.
It has a big world border so you can travel far and build out. The main twist is you get tempbanned when you die so staying alive actually matters.
When you first join you spawn with some starter items plus invis and regen so you can sneak away from spawn and get set up.
It works on both Java 1.21.11 and Bedrock 1.21.131 so friends can play together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSeason 2 Seven Continents Story Server
I found a survival server that is all about world building and stories. It uses a server side mod that changes world generation so the map turns into seven continents.
Each season everyone focuses builds on one continent. You can still travel and explore the other continents too. The main idea is to make the world feel alive with player made stories.
Season 2 adds more server side QoL mods. They also run fun events like a Christmas themed build off and a Geoguessr style event using their own world. Next week they plan to open the End for the first time this season. The community feels close and you can make friends or even rivals.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJoin CSMP Season 3 Launch Crew
I found a server called CSMP that is getting ready to launch season 3. They are already doing prep work and getting people together before it starts.
They also moved to a new Discord server because they want to change the direction of the theme this season. There is a modlist you can check so you know what you are getting into before you join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh 24 7 True Anarchy Chaos
