This server is called Ordinary SMP but it actually feels pretty special. It is a vanilla Java survival world that is always updated and right now it is on version 1.21.11. The server is whitelisted so the players are picked to keep things calm and respectful.
The community feels really tight knit and friendly. People like to build together and work on big community projects. There are server wide events like pvp fights build contests and huge group builds so there is usually something going on if you do not want to play alone.
Even though it is survival there is good protection for your stuff. They use tools to check griefing or stealing so your base and items stay safe. That makes it easier to build cool things without worrying about random destruction.
The server also has some extra features that still keep the vanilla feeling. There is a BlueMap so you can see the world from a map in real time. There is Simple VoiceChat so you can talk in game and an audio system for custom sounds. The dragon drops elytra so you can get wings from the end boss. There is also a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards that match a HermitCraft type theme.
Overall it feels like a chill place for builders explorers redstone players or anyone who just wants to hang out and vibe on a long term survival world with other people.
