This is a community centered survival server that feels like a Hermit style world. It is made by the players for the players and people vote in polls for new cosmetic or qol or fun plugins.
There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district and also public builds and big projects. Proximity chat is a big thing here and most players actually use it.
It stays close to vanilla so it still feels like normal Minecraft. It is Java only on 1.21.11 and it is whitelisted and 18+ only. You will usually see around 5 to 20 people online during the day.
Hermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSeasonal Lifesteal SMP Reset Every 2 Weeks
This is a new lifesteal smp that runs in seasons and each season is pretty short. The server resets every two weeks so everybody gets a fresh start a lot and no one is stuck super behind forever.
Everyone is welcome to join and there is an application so people who join actually want to play. They also have a dedicated discord where they keep all the rules and info you need so you know what is going on before you hop in.
They are trying to start each season with everyone online at the same time around 10 to 10 30 pm CST so it feels fair and the start is more fun. There is a grace period at the beginning so people can get started without instant chaos but you can still join later if you want.
If you like lifesteal and seasonal resets and you want a server where players begin together and follow clear rules this server feels like a chill but still competitive place to play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJuiceySMP Survival With Voice Chat
I found this server called JuiceySMP and it feels like a small but growing survival world. It is run by a small twitch streamer and they already get around ten or more players on at peak time which makes it feel alive but not super crowded.
The server has random teleport so you can start out in a fresh spot. There is an auction house so players can trade stuff in a cool way and there is also a shop so you can buy and sell gear and blocks. They even have some gambling if you want to risk your stuff for a chance at more.
One of the coolest things is simple voice chat so you can actually talk to people while you play instead of just typing. The community seems really friendly and lots of different people come through the server so you can always find someone to hang out with.
If you like chill survival with an economy and voice chat and you want a place that is not too sweaty this server feels like a good spot to give a try.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
