Ordinary SMP – Cozy Vanilla Community

Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java survival server with a small tight community that actually feels alive. People from different places log in to build big bases explore new areas and just hang out.

The server is always updated and right now it runs Minecraft 1.21.11 so you get all the newest features. It is whitelisted so the players are usually respectful and you do not get random chaos all the time.

There is grief protection using a tool that tracks what players do so if someone steals or breaks stuff staff can see it and fix it. That makes building huge projects feel a lot safer.

The server has some extra cool things like a live map so you can see the world from a browser and a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and rewards that fit a HermitCraft style world. There is also voice chat support and custom audio so talking and playing with other people feels way more immersive.

They run server events like pvp battles build contests and big group projects so there is usually something going on if you like playing with others. If you just want to chill build or mess with redstone you can do that too and still be part of the community.

If you want a friendly vanilla style server with protection and regular events Ordinary SMP feels like a good place to make a long term base and meet new people.
