Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java survival server that feels like a small friendly neighborhood. It is whitelisted so the players are pretty respectful and the community stays chill and tight knit.
The server is always updated to the newest version so you get all the latest Minecraft features. It is survival with a focus on building exploring and just hanging out with other players from all over.
People here like to work together on big community projects and builds. There are server wide events like pvp battles build contests and large group projects so there is usually something going on if you want to join in.
The staff use tools to protect against griefing and theft so if someone messes with your stuff they can track it and fix it. That makes it feel safe to build whatever you want.
There is a live world map with BlueMap so you can see the world from above and plan where to go. The server also has a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards that match a HermitCraft kind of theme.
You can use Simple VoiceChat to talk in game and there is custom audio too which makes everything feel more immersive. There are dragon elytra drops so beating the dragon is extra rewarding.
If you like building exploring redstone or just vibing with other players this server fits that style really well.
