I found a casual Bedrock Realm that sticks close to vanilla with only a few small changes that make the base game feel better.
It has quests you can do for rewards so progression feels more fun and less grindy.
The big focus is player driven lore and events where everyone shows up and does stuff together.
You can start your own city state and keep things peaceful or build it up and even start wars. It has room for builders and also for PVP so both kinds of players can shine.
There are a few rules to keep things balanced so people still have freedom but it stays fun for everyone.
