RelicSMP is a brand new vanilla style SMP that just started and it already feels really cozy. The world is completely fresh so you get to be there from the very beginning and help make the lore as you go.
The server is mostly vanilla but has a few quality of life plugins so it still feels like normal Minecraft. It is whitelist only so the community can stay friendly and chill. People here seem to care more about hanging out and building cool stuff together than sweating super hard.
There is also a separate forever world so if you want your builds to last and not get wiped you can keep them safe there. Players are invited to help shape the features and the future of the server so your ideas actually matter.
If you want a relaxed community focused SMP where you can start with everyone on a new map RelicSMP looks like a good place to join.

The Pen Classic Prison Grind Returns
The Pen MC is a classic prison server that is trying to feel like the 2014 era. It is barebones and grindy and it does not hand you overpowered armor. You mine and you smelt ores yourself and you have to walk through pvp zones to sell like the old days.
After you rank up you can prestige and you are not stuck doing only one thing. You can keep grinding the classic mining path or go into a custom fishing system to make money. There is also a mob arena where you fight waves and bosses for rewards and money and shards.
If you want a long grind there is a bakery system where you farm wheat and cocoa then bake cookies with custom mechanics. You can do long term cookie quests and try to compete on leaderboards and turn cookies into higher tier rewards.
It also has guards that enforce contraband rules and illegal crops that are high risk and high reward. You can rent cells and plots and use auction house and bounties and player shops. There is solitary confinement and parkour too. The server says anything you can buy can also be earned in game so it is not focused on pay to win.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWinterMC Modded SMP Fresh World Drop
