I found this hardcore server that is trying to keep Minecraft feeling normal and vanilla. It is made for people who just want the regular experience and explore the world the way it was meant to be played.
It says it runs with zero lag and it is well moderated. It also uses only minimal plugins and nothing that changes gameplay so it stays true vanilla.
Hacked clients are not allowed and there is an anticheat so cheating is pointless. Weird or inappropriate chat is not allowed either.
PVP and griefing are allowed. Backdooring the server is strictly forbidden and people who do it will get punished.
