Pebbles is a modded SMP on Fabric 1.20.1 that is built to feel like a chill community world instead of a super sweaty server. It is a small indie style server that really tries to keep the management stuff in the background so players can just play.
There are no annoying land claim systems in your face and all the admin tools stay backstage. The owner used to hop around random SMPs and got tired of bad management so this server is made to avoid that headache.
The modpack is hand made and not just some big front page pack. It has proximity voice chat and a lot of Create plus extra mobs decor Figura and more. The staff sometimes add little booster packs to the modpack so players can suggest mods and sometimes see them added.
The community has already gone through a few seasons and has returning players who like to help new people. Everyone is treated equal and the staff and owner are regular people who actually care about the server.
The server is opening to the public very soon so if you join early you can be there at the start of the new season and be on an even playing field with everyone else.

Halcyon is a Lands PvP server that is trying to feel like a real medieval world. It was started by a postgraduate medievalist and it runs on the latest version of vanilla Minecraft 1.21.11. The server is based in Australia and people play from Europe the Americas and Asia. It usually has around 10 to 30 players online.
The world is handmade and it is meant to be harder and slower than normal survival. Night cannot be skipped and healing is slow and only works in certain conditions. The server pushes you away from meta automation and more toward creativity teamwork and picking a job to be good at.
There is no teleporting so travel matters a lot. Players end up making roads waystations and even secret railways underground. Crops and saplings are limited to certain biomes so trading becomes important and different areas start to feel unique.
There is not a strict lore you have to follow. People just play and the stories happen naturally as factions form deals get made and cities and fortresses rise up. Players have already been making art books myths and superstitions in game.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
