I found a simple cozy SMP that is semi vanilla and runs on Java.
It feels like a straightforward place where you just join in and play survival with other people. The whole point is keeping it cozy and easy to get into.
Cozy Vanilla Build SMP With Events
Casual social gameplaydiscord based communityfriendly staff teamlong-term worldVanilla-Friendly Tweaks
This is a cozy build SMP based in the UK and it still pulls in players from other time zones.
It stays close to vanilla survival and only uses a couple small quality of life tweaks to make building nicer without changing the main vanilla feel.
The community is active and welcoming and it is looking for long term buddies who like building and just hanging out.
There is an event team that runs events pretty often and they also do cozy movie nights every Sunday plus other activities.
Simple Voice Chat is used so talking in game feels more natural and the Discord is active with lots of voice calls and chats.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOnetale Civilization Factions Alpha Launch
Onetale is a civilization style survival server made by Sir Ezran who you might know from Ish videos. It is built around community so people actually need each other to do well.
It is plugin based and it also uses a client modpack. Mobs are buffed and can even spawn during the day so it can feel more dangerous.
Mining is different because there are custom mines for iron gold and diamonds and they can cave in sometimes. Towny is used for claiming and there is claim upkeep so you cannot just grab everything forever.
Farming is also custom with seasons and crops that depend on the biome. Animals are not just free food either because you have to feed them and take care of them.
The server is getting ready for the Alpha 3 release on Feb 15. There are factions like Starfall plus other groups you can check out like Golden Heart and Black Crucible.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPZest Creative Citybuild Roleplay World
Claim based realmsCollaborative projectsEvents sometimes hostedLaid-back rulesOngoing shared storyline
Zest Creative is a city build server with a long running tight knit community. The world uses a very large custom terrain map and people build together all the time.
You can do optional geopolitical roleplay with lore and worldbuilding. If you want in you can mark a claim and staff will put it on the map so your story can start. You can also mark towns and settlements too. If roleplay is not your thing you can just build and chill since it is totally optional.
There is a short application before you can join and it is mainly to filter out griefers. After that you can get access to world edit and other helpful commands. The rules are laid back and there are events once in a while. Staff and players are often online to chat and help critique builds and team up on big projects.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PVP Weekly Events
Frontline Combat is a modded server that is all about squad style team pvp. It feels like a battlefield kind of fight where you work with your team and try to win together.
They run events every week and they keep trying to make each event better. The server also uses their own custom mods and content so it is not just the same old stuff.
It is Java only and they are trying to grow the player base so more people can join the battles.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFoggy Willows TRUE Vanilla Survival
Foggy Willows is a real vanilla survival server for people who want Minecraft the normal way. It runs on the official vanilla jar with no extras so it feels like singleplayer but with other players.
The spawn is not some giant confusing hub and you do not have to read a long story to start playing. You just join and go do your thing.
It is hard mode and there is no teleport or sethome stuff. There is also no world border so you can keep walking and building.
The server is self hosted on a purpose built machine and it stays on the latest stable vanilla version. They also say there are no donations and players are expected to handle their own social problems.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFree Minecraft Hosting That Actually Works
SwiftServers is a free Minecraft hosting platform and it tries to fix the usual free host problems like queues and lag. It has a custom control panel that they built themselves and it is made to feel modern and easy to use.
You can spin up a server really fast and it supports Paper and Spigot. It works for a simple vanilla SMP with friends or a Paper server if you want that style.
They say it comes with enterprise grade DDoS protection and a backup system so you can create backups and restore them fast.
The listed specs are 1.5 GB dedicated RAM and an AMD EPYC Rome CPU with 8 cores plus 10 GB NVMe SSD storage and a 1 Gbit uplink. They also say they do not cap player slots and it is free with no credit card and no hidden fees.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSilence SMP Lifesteal Preseason PvP Grind
Silence SMP is a lifesteal survival server that is getting ready to start a new season. It is in a pre launch phase right now with 12 active members and they want more players before it officially begins.
The main thing is standard heart theft PvP so fights actually matter. There is also a custom Dragon Egg plugin that makes the egg the most powerful item on the server and what it really does is kept secret.
They also have villager tweaks so you can pick up villagers and reset or change their trades until you get what you need. There are a few basic survival commands too like /string.
The goal is a community driven start so you are supposed to join in and bring your duo or your whole team and help kick the world off.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Semi Vanilla SMP Starting Soon
