Stormy Lagoon is a long term survival multiplayer server with a fair vibe and a tight community. The staff seems mature and active and they keep things transparent and updated.

It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more friends can play together. The server has custom progression with levelable tools weapons and armor that can get abilities. There is also special custom combat gear like a trident shield and spear.

Progress feels steady because you get daily missions with three tasks per day and quest milestones for long term rewards. You earn Pearls and you can spend them in a shop for perks ranks and cosmetics. There are also playtime ranks so you can rank up just by playing.

For gameplay it uses skill leveling for stuff like combat mining and fishing. The economy is player driven so people can buy sell and trade. There are activity based rewards too.

Safety and chill play are a big deal here. You can claim land with strong protection and permissions and pvp is consensual since you can toggle it. There are monthly resource worlds for fresh materials so the main world does not get wrecked and there is an rtp menu that can send you across five different worlds. You can also use tags join messages and make pixel art with canvas art.
