Ordinary SMP is a vanilla style Java survival server that feels really cozy and chill. It is a whitelisted world so people are usually respectful and want a long term place to play.
The server is always up to date and right now it runs version 1.21.11. It focuses on simple survival with building exploring and hanging out. The community is tight knit and players like to work together on big projects and cool bases.
There is grief protection with tools to check what happened so staff can see who broke or took stuff. This helps keep builds safe and makes it less stressful to work on big creations.
The server has a live BlueMap so you can look at the world from a browser style map and plan builds or see what other people made. There is also Simple VoiceChat so you can talk in game and an AudioPlayer feature for custom audio.
Ordinary SMP uses a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards that fit a HermitCraft inspired theme. Players can even suggest ideas for new custom items.
There are server wide events like PvP battles build contests and huge community projects so there is usually something going on if you want to join in. If you just want to build explore or chill that works too.
Overall it feels like a friendly vanilla survival home where builders explorers and redstone fans can all find a spot.
