Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java survival server that feels like a small friendly town. It is whitelisted so the community stays respectful and chill and people actually care about their builds.

The server is always updated and right now it runs on version 1.21.11 with all the new features. It has grief protection using tools that let staff check player activity so if someone steals or breaks stuff they can see what happened and help fix it.

There is a tight knit group of players from different places who like to build explore and work together on community projects. There are server wide events like pvp fights building contests and big group builds so there is usually something going on if you want to join in.

The server has an interactive world map so you can see the world from your browser. It also uses voice chat and custom audio so talking and hanging out in game feels more like you are actually all together.

There is a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards to fit the HermitCraft style theme. Players can even suggest ideas for new custom items which makes it feel more personal.

If you like vanilla survival with a safe base and a friendly group to play with and you just want to build explore or vibe then Ordinary SMP is a good place to call home.
